As part of our little banquet the other evening we created some incredibly tasty Chicken Stock as a result of boiling the Chicken Feet. This made a great foundation for a Raman.
Raman Ingredients:-
1 Egg, boiled for 7 minutes to get a soft yoke
50g of thick Rice Noodles
Broth from the boiled Chicken Feet. Chicken stock will work fine
1 Spring Onion, chopped
A handful of Coriander, chopped
A Handful of Bean Sprouts
1 Red Chilli, sliced
½ a Pak Choi, sliced
Oil to fry
Egg Marinade Ingredients:-
2 Tbsp of Soy Sauce (Gluten free for us)
2 Tbsp of Shaoxing Wine
4 Tbsp of Water
Method:-
(1) Marinade the boiled Egg in the Soy Sauce, Shaoxing Wine and Water in the fridge for at least an hour.
(2) In a large pan heat the Broth / Stock.
(3) Fry the Pak Choi.
(4) Boil the noodles until tender.
(5) Slice the boiled Egg in half.
(6) To your serving bowl add the Noodles and Broth.
(7) Stir in the Pak Choi and Bean Sprouts.
(8) Add the Spring Onion, Coriander and Chilli.
(9) Garnish with the boiled Egg.
This really was the star of the show. Although it was unplanned when we set out on this particular culinary adventure…..
Lamb is expensive, we all know that. But Pork Shoulder is inexpensive and because it has been boned out you can remove the strings and there is a great place to add herbs. It's easy to roll the joint back up and roast. This was one of our experiments that really – really worked!
Ingredients:-
400g joint of Pork Shoulder (We paid £3.29 and have plenty for 2 meals for the three of us Including Buster the Dog!)
Rosemary chopped
Basil chopped
Garlic butter with Parsley
Oil, Salt & Pepper ( With the remaining herb mix to rub on the outside )
Method:-
(1) Heat the oven to 220c.
(2) Take the strings off the meat and open out.
(3) Pack the inside with most of the ingredients above.
(4) Roll the joint up again and place on a roasting tray.
(5) Rub the remaining herb mix on the outside.
(6) Roast at 220c for 20 minutes.
(7) Reduce the heat to 160c and cook for a further hour, longer depending on the size of your joint.
We served ours with Yorkshire Puddings and vegetables, but that really is up to you!
