Pickled Ginger

By Dieter

Original

1 cup of fresh ginger
1 cup of rice vinegar
1/3 cup of sugar

Peel the ginger and slice it into small pieces (either using a knife or a grater). Put the vinegar and sugar into a pot and bring to a boil. Add the ginger slices, stir, and turn of the heat. Leave the pot on the hot stove, stirring occasionally. Once cooled down, the ginger is ready to be eaten and can be stored in a tight container in the fridge.


1 Tasse frischer Ingwer
1 Tasse Reisessig
1/3 Tasse Zucker

Schäl den Ingwer und schneide diesen in kleine Scheiben (entweder mit einem Messer oder einer Reibe). Giess den Reisessig in einen Topf, füge den Zucker hinzu, und bring dieses zum Kochen. Füge den Ingwer hinzu und verrühr diesen. Stell die Herdplatte aus aber lass den Topf auf dieser. Rühr manchmal bis alles etwas abgekühlt ist. Der Ingwer ist jetzt fertig zum Essen und kann in einem dichten Behälter im Kühlschrank verwahrt werden.

Sweet and Sour Sauce

From http://www.foodforfriendsyeah.co.uk/2009/11/11/sweet-sour-chicken-cantonese-style/ modified by Corina trying to mimic Bamboo Garden sweet and sour chicken

1 C pineapple juice
2 T sugar
2 t tomato paste
2 t ketchup - Heinz
2 T white wine vinegar - or apple cider vinegar
2 T port
1 red pepper, chopped
1 can pineapple chunks
2 T cornstarch
  • Place a large saucepan on medium heat and add all the sauce ingredients, apart from the cornflour. Let the sauce boil for five minutes.
  • Mix the cornflour with a little cold water in a cup. Slowly pour the cornflour into the sauce, a little at a time, until you have the desired consistency. I like the sauce to be quite thick as it clings to the chicken better.
  • Dip Fry’s chicken nuggets (UK) or 365 Chickenless Nuggets (US; Boca Chickn Nuggets are alright) and enjoy!
