Singapore Chilli Crab Recipe!

Food Recipe February 3, 2016 5 Comments

It took me 20 years to pin down my mother’s Singapore Chilli Crab recipe – I spent years watching her in the kitchen, but never knew the actual quantities to anything until this week, when I pinned down the recipe for my weekly Periscope! It was a great time hanging out with my mum and learning a bit more about our national dish, and even getting exact instructions on how to quickly kill a live crab (because that’s the best freshness seal!).

Well, it’s easier than you think to go from lost and confused, to your very own Korean food party! Just follow these 10 steps:

Kangaroo Burger Recipe

Food Recipe January 27, 2016 1 Comment

WOOOOOOOOO!!!! I’m so excited to finally be releasing my first Periscope recipe – it’s taken a crazy amount of planning, but we’re finally ready to kick off!

This week is all about ‘Straya, mate, as we make a Kangaroo Burger, complete with beetroot and bacon, because how else would you have your burger? Kangaroo can be a slightly gamey meat to eat, which makes it perfect to take on heavy hitting spices and flavours! It’s also crazy lean, which just begs for some added fat.

Bacon fat? Why yes, don’t mind if I do.

Kangaroo Burger Recipe

Tammi Kwok

A truly Australian barbecue isn't complete without our coat of arms. This Kangaroo Burger is a great way to try kangaroo meat for the first time - covered in cheese and topped with bacon. Like nature intended.

Print Recipe

Ingredients

For the Patties

500 g Kangaroo Mince
100 g bacon fat* minced (optional)
2 g salt 1/2 tsp
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp dried garlic flakes
1/2 tsp dried onion flakes
1 tsp wholegrain mustard
1/2 tsp ground pepper
2 birds eye chilli finely chopped (optional)

For the burger

5 bread rolls or small burger buns
5 slices of bacon
5 slices of colby cheese
5 slices of tinned beetroot drained
Sliced pickles
2 ripe tomatoes sliced
5 tbsp of mayonnaise

Instructions

For the patty

Add all the ingredients for the patty into a bowl and mix well.
If possible, leave overnight for the flavours to develop.

For the burger

Starting with a wide, cold pan over medium heat, fry the bacon till crispy and most of the fat has rendered.
Remove the bacon to rest on paper towels, leaving the fat in the pan.
Split the buns into half, and place inside-down into the hot pan of bacon fat to toast. This is what brings it to the next level. Alternatively, you can butter the insides of the buns and toast them that way, too.
Remove the buns, and divide the meat into 5 patties. Shape them with your hands and carefully place into the hot, oiled pan (or barbecue). Leave for 2 min till seared, and then flip.
Top cooked side with slices of cheese, and cover. Leave for another minute till cheese is melted and patty is cooked.
Spread both sides of toasted buns with mayonnaise, then layer tomatoes, beetroot, pickle, cheese-topped patty and bacon, before topping with other bun.
Serve immediately.

Notes

*I use the extra fat trimmings from my bacon to make it an extra luxurious burger, but feel free to leave it out if you don't have any on hand!

Kimchi and Parmesan Waffles Recipe

Food Recipe January 27, 2016 1 Comment

What do your friends do when they go overseas? Perhaps give you a small souvenir upon their return? Well, mine gives me food…BEFORE they leave for the holiday. Yep, our circle of friends are very useful for clearing fridges and cupboards, as well as providing willing guinea pigs for all types of crazy recipe testing.

Because foodie friends are the best.

As a result, I found myself staring at an open carton of buttermilk, tubs of homemade kimchi, and cheese that had to get used up. You may think, “kimchi pancakes?”, but I challenge you, CHALLENGE YOU to follow me on this journey of something more…kimchi and parmesan WAFFLES.
