I'm still yet to try adding chocolate as loads of people seem to do it and highly recommend it.

 

Lots of ghost chillis is a most though.

 

I prefer Scotch Bonnets, as well as good heat they add a great flavour.

 

Grew my own last year, good crop and well hot, placky gloves on when preparing though.

 

My lad got a bottle of hot sauce from the states it's 392K on the scoville, a little-finger nail sized drop is perfect for anything you want to spice up, half that for "not a big panfull" though.

Thinking of doing a nice "house special" wagamama stif fry for tea.

 

In the past I've used fillet steak in strips for a stir fry that was great.

 

Can you use other cuts of meat and get a decent stir fry result.

 

(Feel like George Osborne typing that) :lol:

On that theme does anybody have any good recipes for a peanut/peanut butter based stir fry sauce?

 

I fry onion, garlic, ginger, cumin, curry powder, coriander together until fragrant and the onion is soft. Not too high a heat as otherwise the garlic gets too bitter obv.

 

Add in peanut butter, coconut milk and some veg/chicken stock if you want to thin the sauce at all then let it all simmer down.

 

I like to make the above as a casserole with sweet potato and lentils in; tastes great.

Would never waste a good fillett in a stir fry like. :D

If you're stir frying for 3 mins it needs to be a good piece of steak, you don't want stewing steak anyway. Top cuts of Wagyu beef is a feature of most top Asian restaurants.

You can get away with cheaper cuts imo (though not too cheap!), but marinating the meat well beforehand will help in the tenderness stakes.

Also try a little splatter of Jack Daniels Barbeque Sauce in there ;) *taps nose*

I was adding chocolate to mine but I now find adding a little bit of sugar (just to offset the bitterness of the tomotoes) and cocoa powder gives a better taste. The difference is marginal like.
