Gluten free Chinese style Batter

Gluten free Chinese style Batter

We’ve been pottering with this recipe on and off for over a year I guess. I think we’ve probably got it as near to perfect as possible without it including Gluten. If you miss Chinese Sweet & Sour style dishes, give this a go.

Ingredients:-

250 g of Cornflour
Soda Water
1 Tbsp of Baking Powder
1 Tsp of Turmeric
½ a Tsp of Asafoetida
Salt & Pepper

Method:-

(1) Mix all the ingredients with enough Soda Water to make a stiff batter.
(2) Dredge your cubed meat in Cornflour and coat in the batter mix.
(3) Fry until golden brown. If you have a meat probe you’re looking for 75c or above in the center.

If you make the batter too stiff you will end up with a None Newtonian liquid, which behaves as a solid when you try to dip things in it! A fun bit of kitchen science, but you’ll need to add a bit more Soda Water!

Soy Sauce
Olive Oil
Honey
White Rice Vinegar
Crushed Garlic
Paprika
Chilli Flakes

For the Topping:-

Bacon
Cheese of your choice (We had some Yellow Sticker Blue Cheese and Mature Cheddar)
Grated Italian Style Cheese
Spring Onions

Method:-

(1) Mix the marinade ingredients.
(2) Preheat the oven to 180c.
(3) In a baking tray add the Cauliflower and pour over the marinade, holding a little back.
(4) Cook for 10 Minutes.
(5) Remove from the oven and add the Bacon over each slice.
(6) Cook for another 10 minutes, or until the Bacon is cooked to your liking. Pouring the reserved marinade over as you go.
(7) Remove and add your Cheese.
(8) Return to the oven until the Cheese has melted.

Serve with a scattering of Spring Onions, pan juices. Perhaps some Red Cabbage to add colour?
