ReplyDeleteSlow bake some lamps chops in the oven
I took the lamb out of the oven and left it to cool.
I got my trusty frying pan out and put some olive oil in it .. and heated it up.
I add in the white rice which was of course drain not all of it just enough for the 3 of us . Don't worry I didn't waste the remaining rice I shall be using that tomorrow.
I shredded the lamb and added it to the rice and here's where I got creative.
I added some coconut milk probably a cup full will do it .
1 tea spoon poppy seeds.
4 tbs Amoy Special Selection soy sauce
1 tea spoon mustard seeds.
1 tea spoon ground turmeric.
1 tea spoon garlic puree.
1/2 tea spoon chili powder.
Some squashed stem ginger.
You can adjust this recipe as you see fit.
Added 100g or so of sweetcorn.
I then added one of those stock cubes and a cup full of water and simmered it off.
The result was a Moroccan style sweetcorn dish I added some stuffing balls to it as well!

Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tinfoil.
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, tabasco and black pepper. Pour mixture over the raw broccoli and toss to coat.
Spread broccoli pieces in an even layer across the baking sheet. Roast for 8-10 minutes, until broccoli is tender (and the outer edges are beginning to turn dark brown).
Add the sesame seed to a non-stick frying pan and gently heat. Keep stirring continuously until the sesame seed turns brown. They will glisten and start to pop when they're ready.
Remove broccoli from the baking sheet to a bowl. Toss with toasted sesame seeds, spring onions. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve immediately.

1 tbsp mild/medium (depending on taste) curry powder
600ml chicken stock
2 tsp honey
3 tbsp Amoy Special Selection Soy Sauce
Half tsp garam masala
Salt and pepper
100g flour, seasoned with lots of salt and pepper

Breadcrumbs
Peel the sweet potato and butternut squash and cut into discs.
Set up a production line with the seasoned flour beaten egg and breadcrumbs in 3 separate dishes.
Flour, egg and bread the discs of veg and set to the side.
For the sauce
Finley grate the garlic, carrot and apple and soften with the onion in a pan with a little vegetable oil.
Once softened add the flour and curry powder and cook for a minute before pouring in the stock bit by bit, stirring it in so you don't get lumps.
Add the honey, soy sauce, curry roux block and garam masala and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for approximately 15/20mins.
While the sauce is simmering deep fry the breaded veg in a deep fat fryer or carefully in wok filled with oil and drain on kitchen roll,
Serve the veg and sauce on a bed of rice and enjoy.
The sauce can be made in advance and frozen which I would recommend as it makes the recipe really easy :)

Chicken Egg Fried Rice Recipe (Serves 4)
ReplyDeleteI’ve blogged about it here: http://lilinhaangel.com/2013/05/egg-fried-rice-recipe/ (with pictures of the lovely Amoy Special Selection Soy Sauce)
Ingredients:
• 4 eggs
• 1 tsp of olive oil
• 1 red pepper, diced
• 2 spring onions, sliced
• 2 mushrooms, sliced
• 2 small chicken breast, diced
• 3 cups of cooked rice
• 4 tsp of Amoy Special Selection Soy Sauce
• Salt and pepper to season
Method:
Beat together the egg and put it to one side.
Heat the olive oil in a wok or large frying pan. Fry the chicken breast for around 5 minutes or until it is golden brown, add the mushroom and fry it for another 3 minutes until it is cooked. Reserve.
Mix a third of the beaten egg with the red pepper and spring onions. Mix the remaining of the egg with the rice and ensure that all the rice is coated with egg.
Cook the rice in the wok for 2-3 minutes stirring continuously, add the red pepper and spring onions mixture and cook it for another 2-3 minutes. Add the chicken and mushroom to it. Add soya sauce, salt and pepper and cook it for another 2-3 minutes. Serve straight away and enjoy!
Egg fried rice is a versatile dish as you can use up whatever you have in your fridge, you can have a vegetarian version or meaty one. Since we have only just finished our Lent, I decided to add some chicken to it, but it would have been lovely without the chicken.
Special Fried Rice leftovers
ReplyDeleteLeft over chicken (this could be something else instead)
4 eggs lightly beaten
Leftover rice - its better if you cook it the day before or earlier in the day (I usually do a cup for 4 of us)
Ground nut oil 1 tbsp
1 splosh of Amoy Special Selection soy sauce
1 splosh of sesame oil
cup of frozen peas
1 garlic clove chopped
1 small red onion chopped
any other veg you might have left over - I find mushrooms, peppers, sweetcorn work really well.
Put groundnut, sesame oil and amoy special selection sauce in the pan. On low heat put the garlic, onion to cook off a little. Then add the beaten egg mixture, stirring continously as it goes in. The egg starts to look like scrambled egg but before its fully cooked add in the rice. When it has started to heat a bit throw in the rest of the veg and chicken. It only takes about 10 minutes in the wok and is a family favourite in our house.
