SWEET AND SOUR

 SWEET AND SOUR EVERYTHING 😜😜😜


This is another freezer clearer..... It will clear your freezer of every little bit of this and a little bit of that lurking in the freezer or fridge. In this case, I have some bits of fish, prawns and toufu lying around that needs to be finished up and I'm not in a mood for curry, so this is one of those ways to clear it out of the freezer and into my stomach 😜😜😜



Ingredients

Some fish fillet, cut to bite sized pieces 

Some prawns, peeled 

Some toufu, cut to bite sized pieces 

Some pineapple 

Some broccoli 

Some onions, quartered 

1 tablespoon minced garlic 

4 slices ginger 

Some shredded carrots 

3 tablespoons tomato ketchup

3 tablespoons sugar 

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 

1 tablespoon plum sauce 

1.5 tablespoon white vinegar 

4 tablespoons wheat flour 

6 tablespoons rice flour

1 teaspoon baking powder 

1 teaspoon baking soda 

1 teaspoon corn flour

Some water

Salt and pepper 


Method



Mix the ketchup, sugar, plum sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, and corn flour with 4 teaspoons of water


Mix all the different flour and baking soda, then dust the prawns, fish and toufu before making it into a batter




Dump the prawns, fish and toufu into the batter and deep fry it till it's golden brown and put it aside





Now, in a wok with some oil fry the ginger, garlic and onions till aromatic. Add the sauce mixture, broccoli, pineapple and shredded carrots and cook till the sauce thickens


When that's done, put all the deep fried stuff in and toss it a few times to make sure everything is coated with the sauce and then it's ready to serve!

I had it with fried rice and it was heavenly! Good way to clear the bits and pieces in your fridge and have a wonderful meal at the same time!
Enjoy, everybody, and stay safe!







These recipes are good for those who want to cook for one or two without going all out but still wanting to enjoy good food. Simple to prepare and tasty food every time!

  CHAR SIU Now, just look at thise yummulicious goodness! Yes, it can be made at home too! In your oven toaster! you read it right! Oven toaster! That's how I make my char siu for one! The secret is all in the marinade, and I normally make enuf to marinade at least 1kg of meat, but after making the marinade, cook it for a while, till it boils and all the sugar is melted and it can be kept for months in the fridge. If u need to use it in small portions, follow the method below. Good enuf for a plate of wantan and charsiu noodles.
