Dong Po Rou

I’m really not sure where Sue is getting these recipes from, or if she’s just making up silly names for them now!!! Let’s call it “Slow Asian style braised Belly Pork” ey?!!!

Ingredients:-

Belly Pork
Spring Onions, cut lengthwaysWe served ours over plain Rice Noodles and garnished with a few sliced Spring Onions. To say there are so few ingredients this really packed a punch, flavour wise. The Spring Onions effectively caramelize in the braising juices.
Ginger Sliced
Soy Sauce
Rock Sugar
Shaoxing Wine

Method:-

(1) Rinse the Belly Pork and blanch in Water for a couple of minutes.
(2) Drain and cut into quarters.
(3) In a pan place a good layer of Spring Onions on the bottom, add the ginger and then place the Belly Pork on top skin side down.
(4) Pour over the Shaoxing Wine (Rice Wine), Soy Sauce and sprinkle the Rock Sugar over the top.
(5) Cover the pan and bring to the boil over a medium heat.
(6) Reduce the heat and simmer for 90 minutes.
(7) Turn the Pork so it is skin side up and continue to simmer for a further 90 minutes.
(8) When ready to serve, spoon the liquid over the Belly Pork.

Melting Cheese Battered Potato Waffles recipe, eat well on universal credit

Well it looks like we have invented something new. A couple of days ago Sue said “Why don’t we batter some of the Waffles next time?” Well that sounded like an interesting idea. I suggested that we add cubes of Cheese in the holes through them. That’s how our version of culinary insanity works sometimes!!!!

So if you fancy a bit of fun while bringing plain old Waffles to an entirely new level, have a pop at this…..

Ingredients:-

Frozen Potato Waffles
Cheese (Lactose free for us)

For the Batter:-

1 Tbsp of Gram Flour
5 Tbsps of Cornflour
Salt & fresh ground Black Pepper to season
1 Tsp of Chilli Flakes
1 Tsp of Garlic Powder
1 Tsp of Onion Powder
2 Tsps of Baking Powder
2 Tsps of Turmeric
Soda Water

Method:-

(1) Keeping the Waffles frozen, cut cubes of Cheese to fill all the holes.
(2) Return to the freezer.
(3) Add Cornflour to a plate and kitchen paper to a separate plate.
(4) Mix the Batter ingredients with enough Sofa Water to make a thick batter.
(5) Remove the Waffles from the freezer.
(6) Heat a deep fat fryer to 170c.
(7) Coat the Cheese stuffed frozen Waffles in Cornflour.
(8) Fully coat with the batter.
(9) Fry individually, turning over four times, until the Batter is puffy and browned.
(10) Remove and drain.

Apart from being really good and dreadfully filling these tick all the boxes for Sue dietary requirements. They’re both Gluten and Lactose free. Also effectively Vegetarian, if that’s important to you.

Don’t expect to eat much else on your plate! We served these with a Steak, Sweet Corn in Garlic Better and DIY Peppercorn Sauce. We didn’t get to watch TV last night, we were like a pair of upturned Turtles!!!!!!
