Chinese Hotpot
I wrote a big long description of this, but Flickr lost it, so this might not be as detailed as it could be.
This is last Sunday's dinner. I was really proud of it.
The recipe:
Parboil 700g of beef and then cut it into 5cm chunks.
Add 1 teaspoon of peanut oil to a hot wok and fry the beef until brown. Add 2 tablespoons each of light soy, dark soy and Chinese rice wine. Add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and cook for two minutes.
Boil 1 litre of beef stock in a large pot and add the beef mixture when ready. Then I grated an orange peel into the pot and liberally sprinkled in some cinnamon. Bring to a simmer and cover for as long as you can bear it. (I lasted about 40 minutes... it smells *so* good!)
I cut a couple of carrots in half lengthways and then sliced them into 2cm wide chunks. I was supposed to leave it for another hour, but I put on some brown rice and just dished when it was ready.
It was incredibly thick and lovely, but needed the rice to balance that richness.
Chinese-style Dinner
Hot and sour cabbage (simply fry with rice vinegar, sugar and chilli), black rice (soak overnight, then best steamed while barely covered with water) and 'moulded pork'. The latter is essentially pork red-cooked and then steamed. The cooking liquor is not suitable for gravy, as suggested in the recipe. I used a better-quality soy sauce and some cooking wine for the final steaming, which was nice.
