Intercontinental (Con)Fusion!

Intercontinental (Con)Fusion!

We had some Pork ribs in the fridge at £2.38 yesterday. By chance I was working at the Railway Station end of town which is where there are two large Asian supermarkets. A bit of a forage on the various shelves resulted in a pack of Papadums (Technically Indian?), A Mooli (Japanese by origin?), Fresh Red Chillies (Mexican?) and a pack of Rice Noodles (Chinese?).

So this is the monster we created!

I’ll not try to give a recipe as we just cobbled it together as we you do….

I roasted the ribs with home pickled Garlic, Chilli flakes and a little Oil. Deep fried some Kale leaves and salted them to make our version of crispy Seaweed. Then fried and drained some of the Papadums.

In the meantime Sue made a hot Tomato based sauce, similar to the base for a Chilli. She fried sliced Onion, Garlic and grated Mooli , seasoned with Salt & Pepper. Then added a tin of Tomatoes and a good squeeze of Tomato Puree, Chilli flakes, sliced Red Chillies, sliced Mushrooms, Onion Salt and Garlic Salt. Once everything was cooked and concentrate Sue added sliced Mooli and mixed it in to add a bit of bite.

We then boiled some Rice Noodles and put everything together and a monster mountain of very tasty food was born.

Dressed with Sliced raw Mooli, Sliced fresh Chilli, sliced Spring Onions and a bit of home brewed Kimchi this concoction was totally authentic to nowhere on the planet…...

Crispy Chilli Beef

Technically the Beef Fillet would have pushed this well over budget, but these were part of my birthday present from my mum, so we thought we’d make something tasty with them. Oh was it tasty?

Ingredients:-

Beef Fillet, cut into strips. (Other cuts will work just as well.)
Fresh Chillies
Chilli Flakes
Spring Onions
1 tin of Tomatoes
1 Red Pepper, cut into strips
1 Large Onion, chopped
2 clovers of Garlic
Tomato Puree
Seasoned Flour (Gluten free in our case), with Chilli Flakes, Paprika, Garlic Salt, Pepper
Oil to fry
Cider Vinegar.
Margarine
Salt & Pepper
Sugar
Rice Noodles (These are presently on offer at the local Supermarket at 60p a pack)

Method:-

(1) Stir the beef strips in the seasoned Flour.
(2) Fry until crispy and set aside in the oven on a low heat to keep warm.
(3) Fry the Onion and Garlic in Margarine and Oil until soft.
(4) Add the tin of Tomatoes and an equal amount of Water.
(5) Add a good squirt of Tomato Puree.
(6) Simmer for 10 minutes.
(7) Add the Cider Vinegar and Sugar.
(8) Add the half of the fresh Chillies and half of the Spring Onions.
(9) Stir well and simmer for a couple of minutes.
(10) Stir in the Beef.
(11) Serve over Rice Noodles or Rice and dress with the remaining fresh Chilli and Spring Onion.

We served ours with a few fresh fried Papadums. The ingredient quantities are pretty flexible, so you can adjust the heat to your taste.
