DeleteHere's my "Chinglish Beef" recipe
ReplyDelete350 g very tender frying steak (in an ideal world, fillet steak - but we can't all afford it!)
2 large onions
2 tbs tomato ketchup
2 tbs Worcestershire sauce
2 tbs Amoy Special Selection soy sauce
1 tbs ginger wine or dry sherry
1 tbs caster sugar
60 ml water
1 tsp cornflour blended to a paste with a little water
3 tbs sunflower oil
marinade
2 Amoy Special Selection soy sauce
2 tbs cornflour
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tbs sunflower oil
4 tbs water
Slice the beef fairly thinly (not as thinly as for a stir-fry - slices about 8 cm square and ½ cm thick work well). Blend together the marinade ingredients and turn the beef well in the mixture, then leave for at least 4 hours stirring frequently.
Heat the oil and fry the steak slices until cooked to your preference, then drain and set aside to keep warm. Briskly fry the onions until lightly cooked, then add the ketchup, Lea and Perrins, wine or sherry, sugar and water. Bring to the boil then stir in the cornflour mixture. Cook, stirring, until thickened then return the beef to the pan and mix well.

For the sauce
Finley grate the garlic, carrot and apple and soften with the onion in a pan with a little vegetable oil.
Once softened add the flour and curry powder and cook for a minute before pouring in the stock bit by bit, stirring it in so you don't get lumps.
Add the honey, soy sauce, curry roux block and garam masala and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for approximately 15/20mins.

Serve the veg and sauce on a bed of rice and enjoy.
The sauce can be made in advance and frozen which I would recommend as it makes the recipe really easy :)

Hey guys, this my recipe for "Chicken Egg Drop Soup" This recipe is FAB, definitely takes less than 30 minutes to create, infact i would hazard that it can take even less than 20. If any of you have had chinese takeaways or been to a chinese restaurant before, you may be familiar with the "chicken and sweetcorn soup" they serve, the recipe of which is usually identical in each restaurant. That dish is a variation (the thicker version we all know of is apparently an "American-Chinese" invention) of the traditional "Egg Drop" or "Egg flower" soup.
ReplyDeleteChicken Egg Drop Soup (serves 2)
2 tbsp rapeseed oil
2 finely chopped spring onions
1 small cooked chicken breast, diced finely
1 x 150g tin sweet corn
900ml chicken stock
30ml Amoy Special Selection Soy Sauce
1 large egg, beaten
Pepper to taste
1. Sautee the spring onion in the rapeseed oil for 2 minutes, stirring often. Add all the other ingredients except egg, and boil for 5 minutes.
2. Whilst the soup is boiling rapidly, pour the beaten egg in a steady stream whilst stirring constantly, to create thin strands of cooked beaten egg within the soup. Do this four about 2 minutes or until all the egg is cooked.
3. Season to taste and serve!

slow baked the lamb in the oven.
ReplyDeleteWhile this was cooking I cooked some white rice enough for 4 though because I didn't weigh my quantities it was more like 6 a case of the magic cooking pot I think!
I took the lamb out of the oven and left it to cool.
I got my trusty frying pan out and put some olive oil in it .. and heated it up.
I add in the white rice which was of course drain not all of it just enough for the 3 of us . Don't worry I didn't waste the remaining rice I shall be using that tomorrow.
I shredded the lamb and added it to the rice and here's where I got creative.
I added some coconut milk probably a cup full will do it .
1 tea spoon poppy seeds.
1 tea spoon mustard seeds.
1 tea spoon ground turmeric.
1 tea spoon garlic puree.
1/2 tea spoon chili powder.
Some squashed stem ginger.
You can adjust this recipe as you see fit.
Added 100g or so of sweetcorn.
I then added one of those stock cubes and a cup full of water and simmered it off.
The result was a Moroccan style sweetcorn dish

Chicken Egg Fried Rice Recipe (Serves 4)
ReplyDeleteI’ve blogged about it here: http://lilinhaangel.com/2013/05/egg-fried-rice-recipe/ (with pictures of the lovely Amoy Special Selection Soy Sauce)
Ingredients:
• 4 eggs
• 1 tsp of olive oil
• 1 red pepper, diced
• 2 spring onions, sliced
• 2 mushrooms, sliced
• 2 small chicken breast, diced
• 3 cups of cooked rice
• 4 tsp of Amoy Special Selection Soy Sauce
• Salt and pepper to season
Method:
Beat together the egg and put it to one side.
Heat the olive oil in a wok or large frying pan. Fry the chicken breast for around 5 minutes or until it is golden brown, add the mushroom and fry it for another 3 minutes until it is cooked. Reserve.
Mix a third of the beaten egg with the red pepper and spring onions. Mix the remaining of the egg with the rice and ensure that all the rice is coated with egg.
Cook the rice in the wok for 2-3 minutes stirring continuously, add the red pepper and spring onions mixture and cook it for another 2-3 minutes. Add the chicken and mushroom to it. Add soya sauce, salt and pepper and cook it for another 2-3 minutes. Serve straight away and enjoy!
Egg fried rice is a versatile dish as you can use up whatever you have in your fridge, you can have a vegetarian version or meaty one. Since we have only just finished our Lent, I decided to add some chicken to it, but it would have been lovely without the chicken.
By @LilinhaAngel :)
You will need:
ReplyDelete2-3 tablespoons of Amoy Special Selection Soy Sauce
2-3 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons of Lemon Juice
3-4 cloves of Garlic finely chopped
1 tablespoon of Tomato ketchup
6-8 Chicken pieces or pork chops (depending on how many or how hungry you are!)
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
1. Put your chosen meat into a large baking tray or roasting dish. Add the other ingredients making sure the meat is liberally coated in them.
2. Leave to marinade for deeper flavour, but if you are in a hurry just pop it straight into a hot oven (about 180-200 degrees) loosely covered in foil.
3. When the meat is thoroughly cooked (half an hour or so) simply plate up and munch!. This is delicious served on a bed of salad with either crusty bread or boiled rice. Drizzle over any remaining sauce for a delicious low fat easy-peasy dinner that never fails to please (even my fussy children!).
Sticky BBQ Chicken Wings and Drumsticks
ReplyDeleteIngredients
- 6 chicken drumsticks, preferably free-range- 6 chicken wings, preferably free-range
For the marinade:- 2 tbsp clear honey- 3cm/1¼in piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated- 1 garlic clove, crushed- 1½ tsp Chinese five spice- 2 tsp Amoy special selection soy sauce- 3 tbsp orange marmalade- ½ tsp grated orange zest- 1 tbsp sesame oil
Method
1. Slash the chicken drumsticks three to four times each with a sharp knife and place in a non-metallic bowl with the chicken wings. Mix together all of the marinade ingredients and pour over the chicken. Leave to marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight if you can, turning occasionally.
2. Once it has marinated, place the chicken on the barbecue over medium-hot coals and cook for about 20 minutes, brushing with any marinade left in the dish as it cooks. If it's colouring too quickly, move to a cooler part of the barbecue to cook more gently. It's important you cook the chicken all the way through.
3. If you're unsure, pierce a drumstick with a skewer: if the juices are still pink, carry on cooking. Eat as soon as they're cool enough to handle, with the sticky sauce all around your mouth and fingers. Isn't that what barbecues are all about?
4. The chicken can also be cooked in the oven for perfect picnic food. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.5. Transfer the chicken into a roasting tray with a couple of spoonfuls of marinade. Place in the oven for about 50 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with the marinade and juices until thoroughly sticky and golden, adding extra marinade to the tray if necessary. Once the chicken pieces are cooked, eat them when fresh and hot, or leave to cool before packing up for a picnic or packed lunch.
