Last weekend I got some ingredients to make San Choy Bow. I knew Chris had lettuce and beef mince (even though you should really use pork mince) so that was the starting point. This recipe was based on a recipe from recipetineats.
So the mince. A pack of mince, mushrooms, an onion, a tin of water chestnuts (I shoulda bought the tin of bamboo shoots Chris had as well), ginger and garlic. The recipe suggested carrots but I didn't have any, so used some broccolini stems instead.
Fry it all up (I did this on the Sunday).
On the Monday I made up the sauce -
1 1/4 tsp cornflour / cornstarch (mushed in water to make a paste)
1 1/2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tbsp Chinese cooking wine (or sub Mirin or dry sherry) - I used dry sherry
1 tsp white sugar
Marvel at the abstract art when you add dark soy sauce to cornflower slush
Mix it all in
Enjoy!
