Pork and Prawn Stir-Fry
This recipe should actually have noodles in it, but my hubby and I are both watching our carb intake at the moment, so I omitted them and added some more meat and bean sprouts. I suppose this is more of a Pad Thai dish, if you decide to add noodles, I would cut the meat back to about 200g, only about 150g on the bean sprouts and about 200g on the prawns, as what I have listed below would be just too much if adding noodles.


Ingredients

2 Tablespoon peanut oil
350g Pork mince
300g Medium uncooked prawns, shelled ( I bought Jumbo Green Prawns as they were on special.)
3 Cloves garlic, crushed
1 Tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 Red chili, chopped finely (add as many or few of the seeds as you like according to your taste.)
3 Eggs, beaten lightly
2 Teaspoons soy sauce
1 Tablespoon tomato sauce
30ml Chili garlic sauce
30 Sweet chili sauce
50ml fish sauce
3 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 Green onions, sliced thinly
300g Bean sprouts
2 Tablespoons coriander, chopped finely

Method

1. In a saucepan combine, sauces and sugar, cook, stirring until sugar dissolves.

2. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan, stir-fry pork, garlic and ginger until pork is browned and almost cooked.

3. Add prawns and chili, cook until prawns turn pink, add the egg, stir-fry until just set.

4. Add onions, sprouts and coriander, cook until sprouts are just tender and it is heated through.

Thai Meatloaf

This is a really quick easy recipe to throw together that is full of flavour. Be careful with the oyster sauce though I have listed amounts, but if you buy quite a strong brand I would recommend using less, it is a bit like soy sauce with the saltiness of it. The brand I use is not that salty, but I have bought other brands that are so salty they have completely destroyed my meal with the overpowered salty flavour.

Ingredients

700g Pork mince
80-100ml Oyster sauce, depending on strength and saltiness of the brand you buy
3 Cloves garlic, crushed
1 Egg
1 Thai red chilli, chopped finely
1/2 Cup breadcrumbs
100ml Coconut milk
1/3 Cup Thai basil, finely chopped
250g Gai lan, cut into 10cm lengths
250g Baby bok choy

Method

1. Pre-heat oven to 200c Fan-forced

2. Combine mince, 50ml oyster sauce, garlic, egg, chilli, breadcrumbs, coconut milk and basil in a large bowl. Tear off four sheets of foil and shape pork mix into 4 rectangular meatloaves, wrap the foil around each and place in a baking dish, cook meatloaves 20 Min’s

3. Remove foil brush meatloaves with another tablespoon of sauce shared between each. Cook for a further 10-15 Min’s until cooked through.

4. Meanwhile boil, steam or microwave gai lan and bok choy until tender, combine with remaining sauce in a large bowl. Serve greens topped with sliced meatloaves.
