    Chrissie Swan and Yumi talk JAPAN

    Ingredients (to make 2 big Okonomiyaki) 250 grams of dried yaki noodles or ramen noodles One cup of green cabbage, finally shredded 2 green onions, finely chopped One cup of snow peas washed and trimmed 6 thin slices of bacon 170 grams) 2 eggs 1 heaped tablespoon of potato or cornstarch 2/3 of a cup 80 grams of flour 1/3 of a cup plus one tablespoon of dashi broth or chicken stock PLUS Sunflower oil for cooking, Okonomiyaki sauce (yakisoba sauce also works) and Kewpie Mayo for serving Mix the flours, starch and dashi/chicken broth until you get a smooth consistency. Refrigerate. (Remember, Chrissie insists it need to be cold!) Meanwhile cook with the noodles in boiling water according to the package instructions.  Wash and finally chop the cabbage and green onions. Oil the teppanyaki stainless steel with a paper towel and heat it over medium heat. Poor half of the batter, spreading it into a pan cake shape with a spatula. Top with half of the cabbage, green onions, snow peas, and 3 slices of bacon. Cook for 3 minutes And the same time, next to the pancakes spread half of the cooked noodles into a circle of the same size. Cook for three minutes then flip them. Crack one egg onto the griddle and spread it out with a spatula. Once it starts to set on top, place the noodles circle over it, then cover with the flipped pan cake so the noodles are now between the egg and the bacon flip everything again to the egg is on top and cook for another three minutes. Repeat the same process for each pancake and the remaining ingredients.  To serve drizzle over the economyaki sauce and Japanese (Kewpie) mayonnaise. Eat immediately while dreaming about Japan.

    Chrissie Swan cooks Foccaccia!

    Chrissie Swan and your food fix host Yumi Stynes used to eat a lot of weekend lunches together when they lived in the same city. Back then it was crunchy, chewy bread, butter and maybe a burrata. But that was 15 years ago. What now? MAYBE, it's a foccacia. There's a great Karen Martini recipe here - ignore all the toppings and just use the foccacia basic as a template - it's excellent and you don't need to "rice" the cooked potato. Mashing it with a fork will be fine. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Chrissie's Bolognese hacks!

    Chrissie Swan is guest co-host again and she is absolutely FLUENT in Bolognese. Here are the hacks, by Chrissie: As I mentioned - with bolognaise every single batch is different. Here’s my base: 2 onions 8 cloves of garlic 2 carrots, peeled and quartered 3 celery stalks, quartered 1kg coarsely minced chuck steak from the butcher 1 heaped teaspoon of flaked sea salt 3 chicken stock cubes 500g tomato paste 2 x 800g tins of tomatoes thyme bay leaves 1 sprig rosemary 200ml milk or cream ...but on the day we recorded this episode I had added literally everyone’s secret ingredient plus about 400grams of Xmas ham Added in: Parmesan rinds Milk Anchovies Loads of parsley Oxtail Vegemite  Rosé Finely ground up leftover ham can take the place of bacon (or speck). Be generous! Cook it in some sort of electric frypan or oven situation that doesn't require your ongoing attention so you can set it and forget it. Hosted on Acast.
