Saturday 7 July - Gok Wan

Decided to try out some recipes from the latest cookery book purchase today - so a trip to Eastern Stores in Portsmouth took place this morning - the weather is so bad that we drove round...

Lots of ingredients purchased to keep the store cupboard filled, and a bit of an impulse buy as well...

 

For a starter our favourite low fat chinese wontons - with the usual Rick Stein dipping sauce - Bob made light work of the veg with the new chopper!

 

 

Also some plum sauce and some sweet chilli sauce to serve with the steamed chicken and prawn wontons

For mains - Goks twice cooked pork belly - first it was poached in rice wine, with various aromatics added for a couple of hours, then roasted with a glaze of honey and soy

 

Served with a stir fried mushroom dish - we used dried shitake, fresh shitake, oyster, chestnut and enoki mushrooms in this dish - George declared it to be the best part of the meal!!
