What was for dinner?

[JCR33]

Jack, the rice is simple. Buy a jar of Hainanese chicken rice mix. Then use the broth which you used to poach the chicken and add that to the rice. Cook in a rice cooker and you're done.

Thanks Keith, I will try that and let you know if I get it right.

Aaron,

I don't think you need a furnace to roast the pork, an oven will do.

There isn't much to it but the ingredients are critical to get the taste.

You only need very little of each, if you really want to try I can give you some.

For what I bought, I think it will last a few years...

Let me know if this translation is likely to lead to success Jack (talents of the cook notwithstanding).

Cheers,

Hi Andy,

When I last saw you at Aslan's, you were so fit and healthy, why are you on diet?

Tonight is a very special treat as my gout does not like seafood, I have my medicine ready!

I can't believe I missed this thread!! That looks amazing. I'll have to get cooking and take some pics...

[Bunyip]

Yep - I'm a weekend warrior when it comes to cooking. But I love it when i do it.

Actually, when we go camping, that's when I step to the fore as the chef - love cooking over a fire.

That crab dish is maaaaaad!

My second attempt, this time the skin is really crispy...

[ChonkyCat]

I love pork belly too and after many attempts, this is my secret to a really crispy skin:

1. dry the skin in the fridge uncovered overnight.

2. Poke lots of holes in the skin

3. put in oven on high for 30min with skin directly infront of the fan in a fan forced oven.

Seems to work everytime

Cheers
