Stir Fry Char Sui Pork Mince & Broccoli

Stir Fry Char Sui Pork Mince & Broccoli


I happened across a 500g pack of Pork mince for just over £1 so Sue set about her recipe rummaging and came up with this. Realistically this recipe would easily feed 4 and we had enough left to pop in Taco shells the following day.

Ingredients:-

500g of Pork mince
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
A Thumb of Ginger, minced
1 Carrot, cut into lengthways strips
1 Red Pepper, cut into strips
2 Spring Onions, sliced lengthways
2 Chillies, chopped
1 Tbsp of Honey
1 Tbsp of Black Bean Sauce or Hoisin Sauce
40ml of Soy Sauce (Gluten free for us)
30ml of Shaoxing Wine
1 Tsp Chinese Five Spice
A handful of Peanuts, roughly chopped
½ a head of Broccoli, separated into florets
1 Onion, finely diced
Oil to fry
A splash of Water

Method:-

(1) Mix together the Black Bean sauce, honey, Soy Sauce, Five Spice, Shaoxing Wine and a splash of water.
(2) Set aside your Char Sui Sauce.
(3) Heat a little Oil in a pan, add the Garlic &Ginger and cook gently for a minute.
(4) Add the Pork mince and fry on a high heat until browned, stirring continually.
(5) Remove from the pan and set aside.
(6) Add more Oil if required and fry the Broccoli, Carrots, Onion and Pepper, for a few minutes.
(7) Return the mince to the pan and stir to combine.
(8) Stir in the Char Sui Sauce and cook over a low heat until heated through.
(9) Garnish with Spring Onions and chopped Peanuts.

We served ours over Rice Noodles, but this would work equally well over boiled rice.

Xanthan Gum

So the “Ingredients Alphabet” gig gets a bit tricky with “X” but we have a friend in the cupboard as anything with Gluten is well and truly off the menu here. Xanthan Gum has a cool ability of stop Gluten Free pasty falling apart, it works reasonably well in replacing the elastic properties of Gluten.

So Sue’s Pastry recipe goes a bit like this:-

Ingredients:-

200g Plain Gluten free flour
110g Butter
1 tsp Xanthan Gum
1 Egg beaten with 1 tsp of Milk
Salt

Method:-

(1) Mix all the ingredients as you would with normal pastry.
(2) On a floured board roll your Pastry out.
(3) Press Pastry into your pie tins to form a base and walls.
(4) Add your filling.
(5) Form a lid and stick down with Egg wash if required.
(6) Pop it in the oven at 180c until the filling is piping hot and the Pastry has browned.

Pie, regardless of the filling, needs proper Chips and Beans…...
