Intercontinental (Con)Fusion!

We had some Pork ribs in the fridge at £2.38 yesterday. By chance I was working at the Railway Station end of town which is where there are two large Asian supermarkets. A bit of a forage on the various shelves resulted in a pack of Papadums (Technically Indian?), A Mooli (Japanese by origin?), Fresh Red Chillies (Mexican?) and a pack of Rice Noodles (Chinese?).

So this is the monster we created!

I’ll not try to give a recipe as we just cobbled it together as we you do….

I roasted the ribs with home pickled Garlic, Chilli flakes and a little Oil. Deep fried some Kale leaves and salted them to make our version of crispy Seaweed. Then fried and drained some of the Papadums.

In the meantime Sue made a hot Tomato based sauce, similar to the base for a Chilli. She fried sliced Onion, Garlic and grated Mooli , seasoned with Salt & Pepper. Then added a tin of Tomatoes and a good squeeze of Tomato Puree, Chilli flakes, sliced Red Chillies, sliced Mushrooms, Onion Salt and Garlic Salt. Once everything was cooked and concentrate Sue added sliced Mooli and mixed it in to add a bit of bite.

We then boiled some Rice Noodles and put everything together and a monster mountain of very tasty food was born.

Dressed with Sliced raw Mooli, Sliced fresh Chilli, sliced Spring Onions and a bit of home brewed Kimchi this concoction was totally authentic to nowhere on the planet…...

Chinese Sticky Pork

The Pork was from the ½ price British Pork promotion in a local supermarket. It was actually a Loin cut but I removed the rind and cut it into very thin strips. It worked!

Ingredients:-

500g of Pork Loin, sliced
3 Tbsp of Soy Sauce, (Gluten free for us)
1 Tbsp of Sesame Oil
2 Tsp of Chinese Five Spice
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
1 Tbsp of Ginger, minced
2 Tbsp of Honey
1 Red Pepper, sliced
1 Pac Choy, cut into quarters
A handful of Bean Sprouts
A handful of Mangetout, sliced
1 Shallot, finely diced
Oil to Fry

Method:-

(1) Place the Pork in a bowl with the Soy Sauce, Sesame Oil, Five Spice, Garlic, Ginger and Honey.
(2) Mix together and let it sit for 10 minutes.
(3) Over a medium heat fry the Pork until it is almost cooked.
(4) In a separate pan heat Oil and stir fry the Peppers &  Mangetout.
(5) Add a splash of Water.
(6) Add the Pac Choy and cook for a further minute.
(7) Stir in the Bean Sprouts.
(8) Add the Pork and stir in.
(9) Stir until the Pork is fully cooked.
(10) T serve drizzle with a little more Soy Sauce and garnish with Sesame Seeds.

We served ours over Rice Noodles. But it would work equally well over boiled Rice.
