Stir Fry Char Sui Pork Mince & Broccoli

Stir Fry Char Sui Pork Mince & Broccoli


I happened across a 500g pack of Pork mince for just over £1 so Sue set about her recipe rummaging and came up with this. Realistically this recipe would easily feed 4 and we had enough left to pop in Taco shells the following day.

Ingredients:-

500g of Pork mince
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
A Thumb of Ginger, minced
1 Carrot, cut into lengthways strips
1 Red Pepper, cut into strips
2 Spring Onions, sliced lengthways
2 Chillies, chopped
1 Tbsp of Honey
1 Tbsp of Black Bean Sauce or Hoisin Sauce
40ml of Soy Sauce (Gluten free for us)
30ml of Shaoxing Wine
1 Tsp Chinese Five Spice
A handful of Peanuts, roughly chopped
½ a head of Broccoli, separated into florets
1 Onion, finely diced
Oil to fry
A splash of Water

Method:-

(1) Mix together the Black Bean sauce, honey, Soy Sauce, Five Spice, Shaoxing Wine and a splash of water.
(2) Set aside your Char Sui Sauce.
(3) Heat a little Oil in a pan, add the Garlic &Ginger and cook gently for a minute.
(4) Add the Pork mince and fry on a high heat until browned, stirring continually.
(5) Remove from the pan and set aside.
(6) Add more Oil if required and fry the Broccoli, Carrots, Onion and Pepper, for a few minutes.
(7) Return the mince to the pan and stir to combine.
(8) Stir in the Char Sui Sauce and cook over a low heat until heated through.
(9) Garnish with Spring Onions and chopped Peanuts.

We served ours over Rice Noodles, but this would work equally well over boiled rice.

Chinese Plum Sauce recipe

The woods nearby are laden with Plums this year. We went gathering a few days ago and froze probably 3kg or so. Some of these will probably be brewed at some stage, if we don’t make sauces out of them first….

This was a supposed traditional Chinese recipe I searched out. It certainly was much sharper and acidic than the Plum sauce we are familiar with. Sue suggested that this could well be the foundations of the Anglicised Sweet and Sour sauce. Add a bit of Corn flour and a triangle or two of tinned Pineapple and you’d certainly be on the right tracks. Actually don’t do that!

Ingredients:-

 340g of Plums
 3 tablespoons Vinegar
 1 tablespoon of brown Sugar
 1 Onion minced
 1 teaspoon of Chilli flakes
 2 cloves of Garlic, minced
 1/2 teaspoon ground Ginger

Method:-

(1) Add everything to a pan. Our Plum were frozen solid but it doesn’t matter.
(2) Bring to the boil and then simmer for half an hour.
(3) Press through a sieve and remove the stones.
(4) Mix the remaining solid content back to the sauce.

We served ours over a few Salt and Pepper fried Pork loin strips (0.72p worth to be exact!)  on a bed of Rice noodles tossed with fried slicked Red Chilli and Savoy Cabbage….
