Mandy’s got a cold, and there is nothing more comforting, in my opinion, than chicken soup, so here’s the recipe:-
- 1 Litre chicken stock
- 2 eggs
- half a leek – chopped
- 20g cornflour
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
- 1/2 tablespoon of chopped ginger
- 2 cloves of chopped garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
- gently fry the garlic and ginger in the sesame oil for about 4 minutes
- Put the cornflour in a glass and slowly add a little stock and stir to make a paste, add about 50ml more until you have a liquid consistency – set this aside for later.
- Add the rest of the stock to the ginger and garlic and bring to the boil.
- Add the leaks
- Whisk the eggs and a bit at a time add it to the boiling stock – keep stirring the stock in the same direction until the egg solidifies.
- Serve.
A really quick one, honey and ginger sauce makes a great chinese marinade or sauce. It works well with chicken or lamb and is really quick and easy to throw together.
Ingredients
- Thumb-size piece of fresh ginger (finely chopped)
- 3 fat garlic cloves (crushed)
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 4 tbsp runny honey
- 1 tbsp sherry
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- Juice and zest of 1 lemon
- Salt & pepper to taste
This quantity will work for about 8 chicken thighs. Serve with a basic stir fry, rice, noodles or try with roast potatoes.
To date I have focussed largely on indian food – the exciting array of spices and sauces used in these recipe really do it for me. My mission is now to master the art of Chinese cooking. I’m going to kick off with black bean sauce. We all need to begin somewhere – a takeaway menu was put through our door today so I’ve started looking over it and discovered something that I guess is pretty obvious:- many of these dishes use exactly the same basic ingredients and just change the meat.
A prominent recipe (the one we’re dealing with today) is <something> in black bean sauce. Details
