Stir Fry Char Sui Pork Mince & Broccoli

Stir Fry Char Sui Pork Mince & Broccoli


I happened across a 500g pack of Pork mince for just over £1 so Sue set about her recipe rummaging and came up with this. Realistically this recipe would easily feed 4 and we had enough left to pop in Taco shells the following day.

Ingredients:-

500g of Pork mince
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
A Thumb of Ginger, minced
1 Carrot, cut into lengthways strips
1 Red Pepper, cut into strips
2 Spring Onions, sliced lengthways
2 Chillies, chopped
1 Tbsp of Honey
1 Tbsp of Black Bean Sauce or Hoisin Sauce
40ml of Soy Sauce (Gluten free for us)
30ml of Shaoxing Wine
1 Tsp Chinese Five Spice
A handful of Peanuts, roughly chopped
½ a head of Broccoli, separated into florets
1 Onion, finely diced
Oil to fry
A splash of Water

Method:-

(1) Mix together the Black Bean sauce, honey, Soy Sauce, Five Spice, Shaoxing Wine and a splash of water.
(2) Set aside your Char Sui Sauce.
(3) Heat a little Oil in a pan, add the Garlic &Ginger and cook gently for a minute.
(4) Add the Pork mince and fry on a high heat until browned, stirring continually.
(5) Remove from the pan and set aside.
(6) Add more Oil if required and fry the Broccoli, Carrots, Onion and Pepper, for a few minutes.
(7) Return the mince to the pan and stir to combine.
(8) Stir in the Char Sui Sauce and cook over a low heat until heated through.
(9) Garnish with Spring Onions and chopped Peanuts.

We served ours over Rice Noodles, but this would work equally well over boiled rice.

We fancied something a bit different yesterday and I suggested having a look at the Fish counter. Sue’s not keen on flaky Fish as such, but Mussels and Squid? Oh yes! There was an offer on so the Fish component including three Squid and a kilo of live Mussels was £4 in total. The other ingredients are really inexpensive. We might have been just over budget, but we’re often well under so……

Ingredients:-

Mussels
Squid / Calamari, bodies cut into strips, heads as they come
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
The juice of ½ a Lemon
Fresh Parsley
Shallots, finely sliced
Capers
A slug of cheap White Wine
Rehydrated Wood Ear Mushrooms
A dash of Fish Sauce
Smoked Paprika
Cayenne Pepper
A tin of chopped Tomatoes
Salt & Pepper
Rice Glass Noodles
Oil

Method:-

(1) Sauté the Shallots for 2 minutes and add the Capers and Garlic.
(2) Simmer for a further 2 minutes.
(3) Add the drained tin of Tomatoes and simmer for a further 2 to 3 minutes.
(4) Stir in the Mussels and Mushrooms.
(5) Cover and simmer for 5 minutes until the Mussels have opened.
(6) Shake the pan and remove the lid.
(7) Fold in the Calamari and cook for a further 2 minutes.
(8) Add the Rice Noodles to boiling water and slimmer for 2 minutes.
(9) Serve the sauce over a bed of Noodles and season to taste.
(10) Dress with a squeeze of Lemon and fresh Parsley.

There not much else to say about this dish. We would have paid good money to enjoy this in a restaurant!
