Saturday 27 April - Chinese

Another new cookery book arrived from Amazon - Every Grain of Rice by Fuchsia Dunlop -
this is another Chinese cookery book, as we are finding that this style of cooking always goes down well here. This meant a visit to the Chinese Supermarket to find some of the more unusual ingredients for the dishes we chose to cook.

First we made braised chicken with chinese mushrooms - this was a nice one to do as part of a meal as it didn't involve frantic stirfrying at the last minute!

Chicken thighs were chopped up and braised with some soaked chinese mushrooms and some ginger and spring onion
 
 
 

 
 
For the second dish, beef in black bean sauce - this jar of sauce took some finding in the supermarket, but we found the correct one eventually...
 
 

 
 
The beef was sliced and marinaded in rice wine, soy, and potato flour, before being stirfried with some peppers and the sauce added at the last minute along with some chopped coriander.
 

 
For a change from rice, I picked up some fresh egg noodles, and these were simply stirfried with some spring onions and chilli
