This dish was highly influenced by a recipe of the same title discovered in 'Jamie's 30 Minute Meals'. (Cheers +Jamie Oliver !) To create this I placed a salmon fillet in to a baking tray, covered it with Chinese five spice, nutmeg and a pinch of chili powder. Then rubbed it in with some soy sauce. I placed the salmon in the oven for 15 minutes, till it was cooked in the middle and crisp on top. To accompany the fish I made some noodles in a vegetable broth, and boiled some green beans along the side. I then placed the noodles and broth in to a bowl, splashed in some soy sauce, put the beans on top to create a bed for the salmon and then garnished with chopped spring onions and red pepper. It is a flavoursome, fusion of fine ingredients. Sensational.
This is my Dad's recipe for a really tasty, simple stir fry. First of all you have to marinade chicken (or whatever meat you fancy!) in chopped garlic and soy sauce. That part is really important! It gives the meat all of the flavour. Then, you can add whatever vegetables you want with it - We normally go for mushrooms, peppers, and onions! - Mainly because they're easy, but you could go all out and get some spring onions and pak choi (that would also be nice!) My Dad doesn't tend to add chilli or ginger in this recipe, even though with garlic they are the three main ingredients to any Chinese dish (pretty much). Once you have browned off the chicken, put it aside and then stir fry the veggies. Meanwhile get a pan of water on the go for either your noddles or rice. (We often have noodles). Then once the vegetables are about cooked add the chicken back to the pan, taste as well, to see if you need any more seasoning or soy sauce. Then once the noodles have boiled for a couple of minutes, drain them off, toss them in some oil (peanut is nice) and then combine it with the other ingredients. Finish with some fresh coriander. Voila! ...Plus, I like this with some green tea. :)
