C Steppa Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Asian style soup. 2 cups Chicken stock 3 cups water 3 Cm ginger finely chopped 2 garlic cloves 400grams Chicken Breast 2 Carrots julienned 1/4 Shredded Cabbage or Bok Choy 1/2 Cup Sweet Soy 1 Cup Bean Sprouts 4 spring onions 1 Red Chilli Half Cup coriander Garnish Method Place stock water ginger Garlic in large pot over medium high heat Cover bring to boil reduce to low heat add chicken till cooked add veges and soy summer 2-3mins stir in sprouts top with spring onions and coriander. You can either poach the chicken breast whole then cut it up or use cooked shredded chicken... up to you. Or you can substitute the chicken with wontons or dim sims. I tend to use a little bit less than half a cup of soy. Healthy, light and nice fresh flavours. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pakage Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Just baked these sucka's tonight. Looking soo forward to morning tea at work tomorrow. Kind of a freestyle recipe that i concocted this afternoon. I hope it tastes as good as i thought it would. Here's the recipe: Pakage's Savoury Muffins Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups flour 5 tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt 1/8 cup sugar 1 cup milk 2 beaten eggs 50g melted butter 1/2 cup of grated cheese 250g of rindless bacon 7.5 grams of chives (1/2 a 15g pack) 200g of corn kernels (1/2 a 400g can) 1 small onion diced 200g of spinach (1/2 a 400 pack) 125g of cream cheese (1/2 a 150g block) I use one of those deep 6 muffin trays to make the big cafe style muffins. This recipe will make only 6 of those, or if you have a regular muffin tray, you should get a dozen out of it. Method: Prep is important. You wanna be quick once you put the liquids in with the flour to get it all in the oven. So get everything ready first. Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees C. Dice up the onion and the bacon, pan fry in a couple tsp of oil at a low-medium heat for about 10 mins. Just enough to brown the onions and bacon, not to crisp them up. Line a bowl with a couple paper towels and put the bacon and onion into the bowl. Chuck the bowl in the freezer to cool it down. Finely dice the chives. Wash and de-stem the spinach, blanch it in boiling water on the stove top till its wilted and dark green. Cool the spinach down by running cold water over it, then squeeze it all dry. Once most of the moisture is out of it, finely chop it up. Open and rinse the corn, make sure you use whole kernel corn, not sweet corn. Put the butter in a bowl or cup and microwave it for about 30 seconds to melt it. Beat the eggs in a bowl or cup. Grease your muffin tray! Now you can start putting it all together. Sift the Flour, Baking Powder, Sugar & Salt together into a large mixing bowl and mix it around. Then add in the milk, melted butter and the eggs. Mix well, make sure to wet all the flour in the bowl, right down to the bottom. The key here is though to try mix as little as possible while still getting it all mixed in properly. The less you mix, the more the mix will keep aerated. Once you've got this batter mixed, add in bacon, onion, chives, corn, spinach and cream cheese, breaking the cream cheese up into small chunks as you go. Mix it up, just enough to disperse the ingredients. Spoon the mix evenly into the muffin tray and top with grated cheese. Bake at 200 degrees C for about 25 - 30mins if you bake the 6 big ones, or probably around 15mins if you bake the smaller dozen. Cooking time also depends on your oven, just keep an eye on them. Stick the muffins with a skewer to check if they're done. The skewer going in should feel spongey but not sticky. Cool on a baking rack so the bottom halves dont get soggy. Voila. I will report back sometime tomorrow letting you know how they actually taste. Im pretty sure they'll be mean. They're very hearty, there's a lot of extras in there. They're not exactly cheap to make, or health food, but i bet they're gonna be tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browning the venison in my new cast iron pan Mixing in the venison Pouring the wine, one for the stew one for me! Adding in the wine, stock, rosemary, thyme salt and pepper. We're ready to roll!

zeb Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 We have an amazing new japanese flatmate and she has been cooking us up the mean feeds. This one is a fave for gaijin like ourselves but still a popular dish with the japanese. Okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake) A little bacon goes a long way to adding richness and depth to the flavours in this traditional Japanese pancake. Ingredients (serves 4) 3 cups of plain flour 1/2 potato, peeled, grated 5 eggs 2 cups water 3 green cabbage leaves, shredded 100g bean shoots, trimmed 6 green onions, sliced 100g button mushrooms, sliced 2 tablespoons olive oil 6 rashers bacon, rind removed, halved Sauce 2 tablespoons thick, sweet Japanese soy sauce 1/2 cup thick whole-egg mayonnaise Method Mix together flour, potato, 1 egg, a pinch of salt and enough water to form a batter the consistency of thickened cream. Add cabbage, bean shoots, green onions and mushrooms. Heat a little oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Spoon one-quarter of mixture per pancake into frying pan. Cook for 10 minutes. Make a hole in the middle of each pancake and crack an egg into the hole. Arrange bacon over egg and cook a further 5 minutes. Turn pancake over and cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until bacon is crisp and pancake is cooked through. Keep warm and repeat with remaining pancake batter, eggs and bacon. To make sauce: Combine soy sauce* and mayonnaise. Serve pancakes with sauce. *Our flatmate did not use soy sauce at all,she had a japanese "special" sauce which was kinda bbq'y and she crisscrossed the mayo and special sauce all over the pancake and then sprinkled dried tuna flakes all over it. Personally i preferred it more without the flakes but feel free to experiment with this to see what you digg..... Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Steppa Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 The old man has been cranking the Weber for years. It's amazing how many people have never had one. You cannot beat a whole Rump/Sirloin/Eye Fillet on one. I've also done pork, lamb, we do the Xmas Turkey in it. And like Grind said awesome for smoking.

Grind Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Barilla Dumplings on Dominion Rd across from the Capitol Cinema. $9 for 20 pork dumplings boiled, steamed or fried (boiled/steam ftw). So damn good. Barilla vs New Flavour is a big debate right now. Both a couple of doors down from eachother and both are up there with the best dumplings in Auckland... New Flavour has awesome dishes aside from the dumplings so is probably my pick out of the two. Barilla is cheaper though This is a pretty good website that I check out often for restaurant reviews. They've got a Barilla review up there now on the homepage, and they also have a New Flavour review archived http://www.eatherenow.co.nz/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subverse Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Hah it's a debate I've been hearing heaps about recently - I've only been to Barilla, I was really impressed with their sides to be honest, the tempura spiced beans with the chilis and spicy goods on top were amazing, and the japanese broccoli with garlic was epic too, and the dumplings were next level.so damn good! and so cheap too. Love how casual they are with their byo too haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pakage Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Beef, bacon & cheese burger with avocado, tomato, home grown lettuce, relish & wholegrain mustard on a toasted sesame seed bun. Just used this basic beef burger patty recipe Pretty simple recipe, my only variation was to use chunky tomato relish instead of t-sauce. If im honest the patties were just barely on the bland side of things, it probably could have done with a light herbing and a sprinkle of chilli to bring out the flavours a touch more. Was still pretty bad ass though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nato Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 You should try finely chopping a mixture of eye fillet and a fattier sirloin or scotch fillet and mixing that together with plenty of salt & pepper. I haven't had a better patty in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pakage Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 yeah, i just used some steak mince from the mad butcher which isnt half bad. Its minced daily and was pretty cheap. Definitely could have got a bit more gourmet on it. Next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
