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!

Fijian Bure Pie recipe!
 
Bure is apparently the nearest Fijian word to Cottage.... We had a large portion of Fiji Style Spicy Chicken Chop Suey in the freezer box. It wasn't quite big enough to feed us all but we have very limited storage space. So with the addition of a bit of savoury mince and mashed potato we came up with this odd hybrid!
