Picked up a half-price tray of Chinese stir fry veg from Tesco today - apparently because of Chinese New Year :gettin::D - so I'll be getting some chicken and spicy sauce on the go later to accompany it.

 

fuck me its Master Chef

 

a half price tray of stir fry veg? you live in Lahndahn for fecks sake yet every time I watch Eastenders Martins able to bunk off and leave the stall with that bloke who works the record stall (which surprisinlgy hasnt been hit by the internet music revelation yet) or Stacey from the clothes stall and funnily enough Staceys quite happy to leave her stall in the hands of a bloke who sells spuds for a living.... anyways I digress maybe you should be getting your arse down the market and buying some courgettes, mushrooms, spring onions, bit of savoy cabbage and some water chestnuts before tossing it all into a wok and sizzling for a while not making do with some prepackaged shite from Tesco's. :D

Hang on, do the last 13 pages of this thread not demonstrate that I'm perfectly capable of making a meal from scratch when I feel like it? And yet I get patronised for paying 60p to cut a corner rather than going down to Lewisham Market to pay twice as much for the same ingredients and have to deal with Cockneys into the bargain. Forgive me for I have sinned. :gettin:

Back in the dark ages. :gettin:

1 cup of split peas

1 cup of lentils

1 med leak

3 med carrots

1/2 small turnip

1 ham shank

 

Soak lentils and peas overnight in coldwater.

 

Simmer ham for a couple of hours in boiling water, spooning scum off the top of the pan throughout. Remove from pan when meat is coming off bone, let cool then pick meat off.

 

Keep the water for your stock

 

Grate Carrot and Turnip and add to stock water along with meat, peas & lentils.

 

Add salt & pepper, let simmer for a few hours.

 

Sorted

 

You can also add onions if you wish but they can turn the soup after a day or two.

Tonight's dinner:

 

1.5 lbs shaved beef (sliced paper-thin; most easily done with beef still slightly frozen)

1 Tbsp Cornstarch

1 tsp sugar

1 Tbsp Soy sauce

2 Tbsp Water

1 Tbsp oil

 

Marinate for at least 30 minutes

 

boil 1/2-1 lb of greens (pea pods/snap peas/baby bok choy works best--tonight it's the latter) for 1 minute, then blanche them, set aside.

 

In wok, heat 3 Tbsp oil and 2 clove garlic (pressed/minced).

 

When the garlic aroma is released, add the beef and

 

15 slices of ginger, about 1mm thick, 2 cm long (mixing my metrics and standards! :D )

15 1/2" peices of green onions/scallions

 

when color changes, add veggies, then add oyster sauce to taste; enough to cover beef, veggies.

 

Continue to stir fry until beef and veggies are completely cooked. Best when served on sushi rice.

Wor lass had bought one of them Chilli Con Carne double jar numbers, the one where you put the little jar in first with the meat then add the second jar later.

 

Fantastic!!!!

Spectacularly rookie question here from someone who claims to know his way around the kitchen, but does anyone know if it's safe to prepare a lasagna now - brown the mince, layer it up, whack the cheese on top - then put it in the fridge and cook it this evening? I'm trying to cut a few corners but I don't want the result to be food poisoning or thoroughly soggy pasta sheets. :lol:

Aye, should be fine. It can dry out a bit rather than get soggy though imo. There's a euphemism in there somewhere.

Euphemism to end all euphemisms coming from a gay bloke.

 

"Darling, would you like to brown the mince tonight?"
