My lot, well apart from the wife due to the mess, love it when I make Chinese style chicken and prawns in batter. The batter is easy, just make normal batter and add cornflour. Also use a cornflour and flour mix to flour the chicken and prawns before battering them.

 

Found this recipe for almond satay to go with it.

 

1 tbsp each of oil and butter

2 shallots, finely chopped

1½ garlic cloves, finely chopped

60g/2¼oz fresh root ginger, finely grated

300g/10½oz almonds, chopped and toasted

4 tbsp clear honey

5 tbsp chicken stock

5 tbsp soy sauce

1 lime, juice only

1 red chilli, finely chopped

small handful coriander leaves, finely chopped

For the almond satay, melt the butter and oil in a saucepan. Add the shallot and garlic and gently fry until soft, but not coloured. Add the ginger and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the almonds, honey, stock, soy sauce and lime juice. Cook for 2 minutes more or until combined. Remove from the heat, then stir in the chilli and coriander. Set aside.

 

Instead of just almonds I buy one of those almond and cashew mixed packs.

 

Well worth the 20 minutes it takes to make.

No Rico, bought it from a market in the morning,

 

Wanted to start making ma own Pasta but someone on here or abmad told me it was more hassle than it was worth.

 

It's easy, and definitely worth it. You need a roller machine thing like, but I can whack out a good pasta in the same time as dried takes (although it is better if you can leave it for a while before rolling).
