Chinese Take Away - Made at Home

Takeaways. A nightmare for those with allergies and auto immune conditions like me.

But, you can just as easily make it at home…and it doesn’t take forever to prep!

My free from sticky salmon with egg fried rice and Chinese stir-fried vegetables was a hit – why not try it for yourself?

Sticky Salmon

Ingredients:

Tamari (2 tbsp)

Thumb size piece of ginger – grated

half 1 red chilli

half 1 green chilli

Chinese 5 Spice  (1 tsp)

Clear Honey -(1 tbsp)

Garlic cloves, minced (2 cloves)

2 Salmon fillets

Method:

In a small bowl, mix together all the ingredients with a fork to ensure they are all combined.

Make small tinfoil parcels for your salmon fillets, and marinate the fillets for at least 30 mins in the fridge.

Bake in the oven for 25 mins (in the parcel)

The last 5 mins, uncover so the salmon can caramelise.

Egg Fried Rice

Ingredients:

Cold precooked long grain white rice (300g)

Generous glug if vegetable oil

3 spring onions, sliced

half 1 white onion

Fresh ground pepper to taste

Tamari (1 tsp)

3 eggs whisked

2 handfuls of frozen peas (defrosted)

Method:

Heat the oil in a wok until smoking hot

Quickly fry the onion and spring onions, no more than 1 minute

Add the pre cooked rice and coat with the oil

Push the rice to one side, and add the egg – whisk with a chopstick or end of a wooden spoon (works just as well) – mix in with the rest of the rice and add the defrosted peas

Add pepper to taste and mix in the tamari before serving.

Chinese Stir Fried Vegetables

Ingredients:

2 Bok Choi

Half Broccoli (pre cooked for 4 mins)

small piece of ginger grated

2 garlic cloves

vegetable oil to coat pan

tamari (a few drops)

half red chili chopped finely

half green chili chopped  finely

Method:

Heat the oil in a wok until smoking hot

add the ginger, garlic and chopped chili’s

add your Bok Choi and cook in the oil for 6 mins until the stalks are almost transparent

add the broccoli and the tamari

and Voila….plate up and it’s ready to devour.

No preservatives, no monosotium glutomate (MSG), totally gluten free and yummy for those days when you crave a takeaway but want to be good.
