Chinese Curry Sauce

Chinese Curry Sauce

Obviously most folk would just go to a takeaway and buy a tub of Chinese Curry Sauce. But that’s not an option for Sue as it invariably contains Gluten. So last night we had a bit of a Special Fried Rice gig and Sue cobbled this together to go with it. I’d challenge anybody to tell it apart from the plastic tub version!

Ingredients:-

4 Tsp of Cornflour
1 Tsp of Curry Powder
½ Tsp of Chinese five Spice
¼ Tsp of Ground Ginger
¼ Tsp of Garlic Powder
2 Tsp of Gluten free Soy Sauce
2 Tsp of Chilli Sauce
240Ml of Vegetable Stock
1 Tbsp of Butter / Margarine
1 Tsp of Lemon Juice

Method:-

(1) Mix half of the Cornflour with the dry spices in a bowl.
(2) Melt the Margarine in a pan and add the Cornflour mix.
(3) Keep stirring over a low heat to create a roué.
(4) Slowly add the Stock stirring all the time.
(5) Add a little of the Stock to the remaining Cornflour in a jug and stir well.
(6) Add this to the pan along with the Lemon Juice, Soy Sauce and Chilli Sauce and cook gently until thickened.

I know I’m pretty disgusting, but I had some of the, now set, sauce with the left over Special Fried Rice for breakfast this morning!

Pork Cherry sauce & Tray Roasted Veg

It’s Prunus season. That’s Cherries first and then Plums for those who can’t be bothered with Latin names! Boneless Belly Pork at £2.19 didn’t look too promising in it’s wrapper. But it worked out really well!

Ingredients for the Tray Roast:-

Carrots
Red Onion
Mushrooms
Garlic
Plumbs
Cabbage
Chillies
Black Lime & 1/2 the juice of a Lemon
Oil
Salt & Pepper

Method:-

(1) Shake it all up with the Oil, Salt & Pepper
(2) Put it in a tray in the oven at 180C
(3) Watch some TV or have a glass of wine (We didn’t do either as we have no TV or wine!)
(4) Turn so that everything roasts evenly
(5) Serve!

Ingredients for the Cherry Sauce:-

Cherries
Soy Sauce
Cornflour
Juice of ½ a Lemon

Method:-

(1) Place everything excluding the Lemon Juice in a sauce pan and boil.
(2) Once the Cherries have softened take the sauce off the heat and press through a sieve.
(3) Add the Lemon juice and bring back to a simmer.

Belly Pork:-

Score with a knife, rub with Oil, Salt & Pepper and roast at 180C until the crackling is crispy. I’m pretty sure nobody needs in-depth instruction here!

We demolished ours we a few boiled Garlic Spuds for a change and the whole thing was really taste. Sorry about the very casual approach today, but this is a really easy, quick and tasty recipe you can do while you’re fighting with you printer, washing machine or children!
