Stir-fried Chicken with Oyster and Spring Onion Sauce

Stir-fried Chicken with Oyster and Spring Onion SauceWe roasted our own Chicken, but a cool roasted bird will do the job just as well.
 
Ingredients:-
 
½ a cool cooked Chicken
1 Onion
3 Cloves of Garlic
Mushrooms
Parsnips
Cauliflower Leaves, or white Cabbage
8 Cherry Tomatoes
Vegetable Oil for frying both the stir-fry and some in a pan to crisp some of the noodles
Paprika
Oyster and Spring Onion sauce
Soy Sauce (Gluten free is available from most supermarkets)
1/2 a pack of Rice Noodles
 
Method:-
 
(1) Chop the vegetables and grate the Garlic.
(2) Halve the Tomatoes and Mushrooms.
(3) Chop the Chicken meat into manageable pieces but not too small so it doesn't break down when fried.
(4) Add oil to a deep sided frying pan or Wok if you have one and heat to a high heat.
(5) Fry the Parsnips,Cauliflower leaves, Garlic and Onions. Any root vegetables will do.
(6) Stir in a teaspoon of Paprika.
(7) Add the remaining Mushrooms, Tomatoes and Chicken, pickled Vegetables and fry, turning as they heat through.
(8) Boil a pan of water then remove from the heat. Add the Rice Noodles and soften them. Drain and rinse with cold water and set aside.
(9) Add the Oyster and Spring Onion sauce and a hearty glug of Soy Sauce to the Stir-fry and mix well.
(10)  Keep a handful of noodles to fry and add the remaining Noodles into the Stir-fry and mix well.
(11) Heat a little oil in a pan and gently fry a hand full of the Rice Noodles one at a time until they are crispy.
(12) Serve and add the crispy Noodles to the top to add a little extra crunch.

Plum & Ginger Chutney

This was supposed have Goji and Inka berries but we couldn’t get them within Lock-Down distance, so we modified the recipe. It certainly packs a punch.

Ingredients:-

1 Hand of Ginger
1Kg  of Plums
2 large cloves of Garlic
A handful of fresh Coriander, chopped
2 Red Onions, chopped
6 Birds Eye Chillies
1 bunch of fries Chives
1 tsp Turmeric
White distilled Vinegar
4 tbst Sugar
Salt Oil

Method:-

(1) Peal the Ginger and cut into 1cm pieces.
(2) Quarter and stone the Plums.
(3) Reserve a little of the Ginger and Plums to add later to add “Lumps” to your Chutney.
(4) Add all the ingredients to a pan, bring to the boil and then reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes.
(5) Add sugar and / or Vinegar to taste. You are aiming for something which is both sweet and sharp.
(6) Once the Plums are starting to break down remove from the heat and allow to cool.
(7) In a food processor wuzz everything up to a pulp and return to the pan.
(8) add the remaining Ginger and Plums and gently bring to a simmer.
(9) Simmer for a further 5 minutes but remove from the heat if the lumps of Plum begin to soften.
(10) Allow to cool and decant into jars.

So far this has lasted perfectly will in the fridge for 3 weeks. It works well as a side for Chilli, Curry etc. It’s not a sickly sweet Chutney as you can imagine with the Chillies…..
