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!
These were intended to be more of a Potato Rosti but our grater wasn't up to the job so I improvised! They were actually more like an Onion Bhaji. Certainly not a disaster, but I'm good to admit an error once in a while!
They are there on the plates, just dwarfed by Sue's monster pasties.......
We served them with Sue's giant home made Cornish Pasties – Recipe here

Cherry Tomatoes and red Onions dressed with a little oil and Parsley
Ingredients:-
3 large Potatoes, parboiled and sliced very thinly
2 Onions, sliced finely
3 tbls plain flour (Gluten free works fine)
2 tsp Chilli flakes
2 tsp Garlic salt
2 tsp Onion salt
2 Eggs
Oil for frying
Method:-
(1) Once the sliced Potatoes have cooled mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
(2) Form into fritters.
(3) Fry in a little oil turning once, until golden brown on both sides.
There is a 'Continental' shop not far from us. Next time we have a little spare cash we'll probably get a bag on Gram flour and try a proper Onion Bhaji recipe.
