Chinese Style Crispy Pork

Chinese Style Crispy Pork

Yasmin the ‘Yellow Sticker fridge’ did it again. Is naming fridges going a bit far? No, clearly not! 400G of Pork strips for 89p. I suspected this was probably shoulder so I marinated it for several hours just in case it was tough as old boots. Thankfully it wasn’t when I’d finished with it.

Ingredients:-

Pork Strips
Soy Sauce
Fish Sauce
Chilly flakes
Cornflour
Soda Water
Salt & Pepper

Method:-

(1) In a bowl pour the Soy Sauce and Fish Sauce over the Pork and fix well. Leave covered in the fridge for a couple of hours.
(2) Sprinkle Chilli flakes over the Pork and mix well.
(3) Add a little Cornflour to the marinade and stir to thicken.
(4) Add Cornflour to two bowls. One in to flour the Pork and the second is for a batter.
(5) In the batter bowl season the Cornflour with Salt and Pepper and add enough Soda Water to make a still batter.
(6) Pre-heat the fryer to 180c.
(7) Dredge the meat strips in small batches in the dry Cornflour and then better.
(8) Fry in batches until they float and are golden brown.
(9) Brain on kitchen paper before serving.

We made a stir fry to go over Rice Noodles with the crispy Pork over the top dressed with a few Chives.

Chorizo & King Prawn Pizza recipe

We had half a stick of Chorizo in the fridge, a tub of cubed Yellow Sticker Cheese at 20p and a bit of time on our hands. So we made another version of Pizza in a giant Gluten free Yorkshire pudding.

It’s a favourite ‘go-to’ recipe here for clearing bits and bobs from the fridge. Basically if you have a Tomato base sauce and some Cheese you can throw all sorts of wonders between them. It’s never failed us yet!

For the base:-

Ingredients:-

100g Cornflour
150ml Milk
3 eggs
Salt & fresh ground Black Pepper

Method:-

(1) Pre-heat the oven to 220c, add oil or lard to a large tray and place in the oven.
(2) Whisk all the ingredients for the batter several time to get as much air into it as possible.
(3) When the oil / lard is smoking quickly pour your batter mix in and return to the oven.
(4) Reduce the heat to 180c.
(6) Cook for 30 to 35 minutes until the Yorkshire Pudding has risen and is lightly browned. Don’t over cook at you will be returning to the the oven to melt the Cheese.
(7) Add the Tomato Base sauce and then your filling ingredients.
(8) Add grated Cheese to the top and return to the oven until the Cheese has malted and is starting to brown slightly.

These things are huge. But the remaining half made great snacks for the following day. OK to be fair this actually fed both of us for two days!
