Nasi Goreng with Sardines

Nasi Goreng with Sardines recipe, eat well on universal credit

Mooching around the local supermarket looking for inspiration the other day I happened upon two packs of Sardines for a little over £2. £2 for 12 reasonable sized Sardines had to be done really.

Sue found the recipe. But we think it had lost something in the translation so she went a bit free-style! One thing they certainly forgot to mention is that this dish would be considerably better if you filleted the Fish. We both found the little bones a bit annoying.

Ingredients:-

Sardines ( Please fillet them or ask your fishmonger )
2 Eggs, beaten
4 Spring Onions, 2 chopped, 2 shredded
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
1 Tbsp of Shrimp Paste
½ Tsp of Turmeric
2 Tsp of Tomato Puree
2 Red Chillies, sliced
200g of boiled Rice
400ml of Fish Stock
150g of small Prawns
1 Tbsp of Soy Sauce (Gluten free for us)
A handful of Coriander, chopped
2 Tbsp of Oil
Bonito Flakes to garnish

Method:-

(1) Heat the grill to a high heat.
(2) Brush the Sardines with a little Oil and grill for 4 minutes on each side.
(3) Remove and set aside.
(4) Heat a little Oil in a frying pan and cook the Eggs to a thin Omelette.
(5) Slide onto a plate to cool.#
(6) Add a little more Oil to the pan and then add the Chopped Spring Onions, Garlic, Shrimp Paste, Turmeric, Tomato Puree and half of the Chillies.
(7) Stir everything together to form a paste and add the boiled Rice, Prawns and Fish Stock.
(8) Season with Soy Sauce and stir for 5 minutes.
(9) Roll the Omelette and cut into strips, adding the the pan.
(10) Cut the Fish into chunks and the the pan.
(11) Stir gently for a further minutes.
(12) Serve garnished with Shredded Spring Onions, the remaining Chillies, Coriander, Bonito |Flakes and a dash of Soy Sauce.

Although the preparation took Sue quite some time the flavour combination was really different. Certainly a recipe we’ll repeat. Who knows when though?!

Chinese Sticky Pork

The Pork was from the ½ price British Pork promotion in a local supermarket. It was actually a Loin cut but I removed the rind and cut it into very thin strips. It worked!

Ingredients:-

500g of Pork Loin, sliced
3 Tbsp of Soy Sauce, (Gluten free for us)
1 Tbsp of Sesame Oil
2 Tsp of Chinese Five Spice
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
1 Tbsp of Ginger, minced
2 Tbsp of Honey
1 Red Pepper, sliced
1 Pac Choy, cut into quarters
A handful of Bean Sprouts
A handful of Mangetout, sliced
1 Shallot, finely diced
Oil to Fry

Method:-

(1) Place the Pork in a bowl with the Soy Sauce, Sesame Oil, Five Spice, Garlic, Ginger and Honey.
(2) Mix together and let it sit for 10 minutes.
(3) Over a medium heat fry the Pork until it is almost cooked.
(4) In a separate pan heat Oil and stir fry the Peppers &  Mangetout.
(5) Add a splash of Water.
(6) Add the Pac Choy and cook for a further minute.
(7) Stir in the Bean Sprouts.
(8) Add the Pork and stir in.
(9) Stir until the Pork is fully cooked.
(10) T serve drizzle with a little more Soy Sauce and garnish with Sesame Seeds.

We served ours over Rice Noodles. But it would work equally well over boiled Rice.
