Plein Temps Tout?

Roughly translates as 'full time everything!' Leading such a busy life, like so many of us. It's easy to fall into the trap of convenience over quality. But ready meals, sauces in jars and processed food always tasted a bit naff to me. Now cooking from scratch is a big part of my home life and I'm always out to convert people who think they can't, for a number of reasons. I'm always inspired to try new ideas and flavours, and when things work I'll put them on here, alongside some classics of course!

Ginger and spring onion sauce

I love chinese inspired food, here's another takeaway favourite!

You will need:

Thumb sized piece of ginger, peeled and sliced into matchsticks.
3 spring onions, cut into similar sized strips
one clove of garlic, in thin slices.

Put all this into a heat proof bowl.

Add to this:
3tblsp chicken stock.
2tblsp soy sauce.
2 tsp brown sugar.
1/2  tsp smooth peanut butter.

Heat up 4 tblspn vegetable oil in a pan until it is very hot but not quite smoking, then tip it into the bowl with the other ingredients. It will fizzle for a few seconds, then once it stops you can use it with stir fried meat or veg and fried rice/ noodles.

Tonight we had it with beef, sugar snap peas carrots and fried rice.
