Sunday 7 October - Char Siu

The plan was to eat three courses last night, but we pigged out on the usual low fat wontons, and decided to save the pork for Sunday night.

It was improved by marinading for 24 hours in the yellow bean, hoisin and ginger and garlic prior to roasting.

To serve alongside my favourite is pak choi with mushrooms, but as George was eating it the green stuff had to be separated out.

I also saved the marinade and heated up to pour over the steamed rice

As Mum and Dad had brought round pounds and pounds of apples yesterday, ,we made a strudel with some chopped up fruit, and some dried fruit soaked in calvados, mixed up with ground almonds and chopped up walnuts (basically all the packets in the larder that needed using up)

Obviously served with Asda custard!
