6 pieces sausages |
| • |
6 frozen meat ball |
| • |
1 yellow onion, chopped |
| • |
2 cloves of garlic |
| • |
3/4 large (28 oz) can of whole tomatoes |
| • |
Olive oil |
| • |
1 lb (16 oz) fish strip |
| • |
Salt |
|
|
The Sauce:
| 1. |
Brown the sausage, meat ball in a large skillet on medium high or high heat with a little olive oil. |
| 2. |
In a separate skillet sauté the onions and garlic until the onions are translucent. |
| 3. |
Purée the tomatoes in a blender, add to the skillet with the sausage meat. Add the cooked onions and garlic. |
The Fish Strip Pasta:
| 1. |
Fill an 8-quart or larger stock pot at least half full with water and bring to a rolling boil. |
| 2. |
Add a tablespoon of salt. Slowly add the fish strip, stirring to prevent clumping. |
| 3. |
Allow the water to come to a rolling boil again. Cook, uncovered, with a fairly vigorous boil about 5-8 minutes. |
| 4. |
When fish strip (cooked but still a little firm), remove the pot from the heat. Add a cup or two of cold water to the fish strip to stop the cooking. Drain the water from the fish strip through a colander. Place the fish strip pasta in a serving bowl. |

|
| • |
8 oz. fish strip |
| • |
1 to 1.5 cup fresh chicken pieces/strips, OR equivalent of cubed tofu |
| • |
3 cloves garlic |
| • |
1 thumb-size piece galangal or ginger, sliced thinly or cut into matchstick-like pieces |
| • |
1 red bell pepper, sliced |
| • |
2-3 cups fresh bean sprouts |
| • |
1/2 cup chicken stock (or simulated chicken stock for vegetarians) |
| • |
handful of fresh coriander |
| • |
2 1/2 Tbsp. oil |
| |
Marinate: |
| • |
2 tsp. cornstarch dissolved in 3 Tbsp. soy sauce |
| |
Stir-Fry Sauce: |
| • |
1 Tbsp. soy sauce (use wheat-free soy sauce for gluten-free diets) |
| • |
1 Tbsp. fish sauce (vegetarians substitute 1.5 Tbsp. soy sauce) |
| • |
1 tsp. sugar |
| • |
1 Tbsp. lime juice |
| • |
1/4 cup chicken stock OR faux chicken/vegetable stock |
|
|
| 1. |
Marinate the chicken or tofu by pouring the cornstarch/soy sauce mixture over and stirring well. Set aside |
| 2. |
Soak fish strip noodles in a pot of hot water 5-12 minutes, or just until noodles are soft enough to eat, but still firm and a little bit 'crunchy' (they will finish cooking later). Drain and briefly rinse noodles with cold water to keep from sticking. Set aside. |
| 3. |
Combine all stir-fry sauce ingredients, mixing them together in a cup. Set aside. |
| 4. |
Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 2 Tbsp. oil and swirl around, then add the garlic, ginger, chicken or tofu (together with the marinade) and a few tablespoons of stock. Stir-fry 5 minutes, or until chicken are cooked. When pan becomes dry, add a little more chicken stock, 1-2 Tbsp. at a time - enough to keep the ingredients sizzling. |
| 5. |
Add red pepper and stir-fry another 1-2 minutes. Add the fish strip noodles plus stir-fry sauce. Using two utensils lift and turn the noodles or use a tossing motion, like tossing a salad. Stir-fry in this way until the sauce is well distributed throughout the noodles (1-2 minutes). |
| 6. |
Add bean sprouts, continuing to stir-fry another minute. Remove from heat and taste-test for salt/flavor, adding 1 Tbsp. more fish sauce or soy sauce if not salty enough. If too salty, add another squeeze of lime juice. |
| 7. |
To serve, lift noodles out of the wok or frying pan and mound on a serving platter. Sprinkle with fresh coriander and garnish with wedges of fresh-cut limes. For those who like it spicy, serve with chili sauce on the side, and ENJOY! |

Makes: 12 cakes
For the Pastry:
| • |
55g (2 oz) butter or margarine |
| • |
110g (4 oz) plain flour |
| • |
1 teaspoon caster sugar |
| • |
1 medium egg yolk |
| • |
2 tablespoons cold water to mix |
Fillings:
| • |
1 jar jam of your choosing (I use mixed fruit or strawberry) |
| • |
55g (2 oz) butter or margarine |
| • |
55g (2 oz) sugar |
| • |
1 egg, beaten |
| • |
55g (2oz) desiccated coconut |
| • |
50g (2 oz) cmc |
| • |
25g (1 oz) self raising flour |
|
|
| 1. |
Turn your oven on and bake at 180 C/ Gas 4 / Fan 170 C. |
| 2. |
To make pastry, take a large bowl and add your butter or margarine, flour and salt; mix together until mixture look like breadcrumbs. |
| 3. |
Add your sugar, make a well in the middle of the crumbs. Pour in the egg yolk and add water a little at a time to make a firm dough. |
| 4. |
Turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead lightly for a minute. Roll the pastry out until it is around 2mm thick cut out 12 rounds wilh a cutter to fit your cake tin. |
| 5. |
Take your cake tin and place your pastry rounds in each of the twelve places and put 1/2 teaspoon of jam in the centre of the pastry now place the tin to one side. |
| 6. |
For the filling take a clean bowl and add the butter or margarine and sugar; cream them together until pale and fluffy. Add the beatan egg gradually whilst mixing. (If it looks like it is curdling before you have added all the egg add a tsp of flour this should stop it curdling any further). |
| 7. |
Now take the coconut milk concentrate and flour and mix them together. Using a desertspoon, add a spoonful at a time and fold the coconut and flour into the mixture, if needed add a small amount a cold water to give a soft dropping consistency. If it is too runny you can add a small amount of flour but not too much as it might make the texture of the cake too hard, so be careful when adding water to the mixture. |
| 8. |
Now get the tin you put to one side and using a teaspoon spoon the mixture into each of the pastry rounds in your tin. Be careful not to over fill them as they need room to rise. Fill about halfway. |
| 9. |
If you have an oven without a grill in it then place the tray on the top shelf. If you have a fan assisted oven with a grill the place your cakes in the middle of the oven. |
| 10. |
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden and firm to touch. |
| 11. |
When your cakes are cooked take them out of the oven and leave to cool for 5 minutes then remove them from the tin and place on a cooling rack, when cold eat and enjoy. |
