Ezequiel Lavezzi has retired from the Argentine squad so he won't be playing in the semi but I was inspired by his Chinese Super League promotional face pulling to try my hand at Chinese cooking.
I have spent the last 12 months perfecting the Indian curry to die for and I now feel the time is right to rise to new challenges
I went for Black Bean Sauce.
Cooking instructions on t'internet are normally for a stir fry but I want the BBS that you get in real chinkies. When you get a takeaway the BBS is in tub like stew. It is not like a stir fry.
So anyway I add some olive oil and sesame oil to the pan and chop my chicken and onion into it to gently heat up.
I then added a whole bottle of BBS, some rice wine vinegar, ginger and garlic and also some Vietnamese chilli sauce to give it some kick.
I added water and flour to give it a more stewy body and added a splash of honey.
I ended up with this.
I do not know what it is called. It does not resemble classic Chinese takeaway BBS in any way but it is very tasty and I would happily make my new Chinese mystery dish again as is. But probably next time I will do more research on how to attain something closer to the real takeaway flavour
Or maybe turn my hand to Sweet and Sour
Gotta love Zeke's ecclesiastical chest tattoo.
I might get one of them after watching The Passion last month.
