Chilli Plum Beef
From an old Australian cookbook. An Australian cup is 250 ml. A tablespoon is 20 ml. Prep time doesn’t include time to marinate.
Stir-Fried Rice Noodles With Black Bean Sauce
The idea of this recipe comes from Marie Claire Style Noodles by Jody Vassallo. If you like meat with your noodles you may add swordfish or chicken. Add it before the garlic, ginger and onions step. Other additions to this recipe could be a small can black beans and use garlic chives instead of chives
Ginger Squid Japanese Style (Ika Shoga Yaki)
Ika Shoga-yaki is simple but is a very popular dish in Japanese cuisine. Ika means squid, shoga means ginger and yaki means grill or fry. This recipe was given to me by a Japanese friend. I really enjoy squid and this makes a quick dinner or entree. 15 minutes marinating time is included in cooking time. An Australian tablespoon is 20 mls/one Australian tablespoon is 4 US/UK teaspoons)
Sate Prawns (Shrimp)
This is a combination of two sate recipes from the Australian Womens Weekly Chinese Cookbook circa 1970’s. We use Jimmy’s Sate sauce which is a bean based sate with peanuts but they are not the predominate flavour or ingredient. Have not included time for peeling prawns but it takes me about 30 to 40 minutes to peel a kilo (the larger the prawns the quicker to peel). We have also used this recipe to make beef sate which takes a little longer to cook, we use rump which I pound out and cut into small bite size squares.
Shrimp and Pasta Stir-fry
If you are cooking for two this is a great recipe. I believe this recipe comes from Blue Hill Farm Country Inn, Blue Hill, Maine.
