Thread: Dinner

Known as sop buntut. Slow cooked for 5 hours, it fell off the bone and melted in our mouths.

One of my favourite chinky meals, Chicken, with green peppers (and red in this case) with garlic and black bean sauce. I made a the velveted chook yesterday and a batch of nooden and had a feed but today is for more than one peep..

I fry the cold noodles in some garlic infused oil first and set aside, then fry the peppers and onion, add the garlic, the beans and the chicken to heat through and throw in the nooden.

I loosely followed this recipe and have to say its pretty close to what you get from a chinky, i never made it before as i'd not foundf fermented black soya beans but found then at a oriental market, not tinned.

here's the prep, the nosh is a bit later. The velveting described in the recipe works really well, i used boneless thighs as i can't abide dull breast meat.

nooden fried off with garlic

separately fry peppers and onion but onlt al dente, add beans and garlic, then some soy sauce, then cornflower and water separately to make a sauce and finally add the chicken to heat through and nooden last. I don't use the ginger or chili as it then makes it taste like the awful jar versions of black bean sauce you can regret buying.

garlicy, salty, with a slight crunch from the peppers and soft chook

Looking good there, Nammers.

The good thing with cooking your own Chinese is that you can measure your salt and sugar. That's usually my beef with Chinese food: too salty or too sweet.

I smashed the Chinese and Indian takeaways last week, so I'm currently getting ready to order Saturday night's takeaway, which will be pizzas.

yep, really tasty and the prep takes twice as long as the cooking - and didn't cost £18 for two from the chinky

^^

Good stuff.

When you get hoodwinked by Backspin it might be time to reflect.

It is expensive everywhere as far as I know and eggs too.

Lamb and beef are both half price here this week.

Not everyone has Smethy the Smackhead on speed dial.

All the supermarkets are doing it...

Pull yourself away from the discount bin at Tesco and look in the fridge

Nice!


That's about the same price as Aldi now.

I prefer a ham shank myself. Nothing better before breakfast/lunch/dinner.

Nah, too salty.
Never been a fan of salt and added salt.

^^ A lamb shoulder for little over 200 Baht... FFS, that's about 3 bottles of Leo.

But then again, a ham shank is free here!

You should do Boulangère potatoes

Can I use Aunt Bessies frozen ones for that?
