He likes to torture our friends.

I've got one... it's THE Japanese ginger sauce from Benihana. This IS the real recipe.

Here's the short story: The local Benihaha in my town was going out of business (still haven't figured out why), so I asked them for the recipe for their ginger sauce. The waiter came back with a sheet of paper listing ALL their "secret" recipes. Imagine my surprise. I’ve tried them all out and they taste exactly as you might expect them to taste (again, another shock – I figured he was giving me rubbish). Enjoy!

Ginger Sauce:
1 cup soy sauce
¼ cup of vinegar
1 small onion (7 oz)
1 small piece of ginger root (2 oz) DO NOT USE POWDER!
¼ lemon
½ cup of water
2 teaspoons of sugar

Place all ingredients in a blender and set to high speed. Mix for 2 minutes or until ginger and onion are finely chopped.

PS: I also have their mustard suace, Ginger salad dressing, and fried rice recipe if anyone is interested.

Okay. You're forgiven. Sharing a recipe. You've found my weak spot.

Mmmmmm.. ginger....

Ah ha... my evil plan is working. You've fallen into my trap. Today this forum, tomorrow the world muahahahaha *cough cough* muahahahaha (nerd evil doer)

Sorry to be pedantic but Hallumi is a Cypriot cheese which can be cooked. You have a huge protion of Hoummus.

Yeah, but we love CW anyway.

Cinnamon Recipe!

Bread machine, Karen! Bread machine!!!!


Ingredients

1 cup warm milk (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup margarine, melted
4 1/2 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast
 
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/3 cup butter, softened
 
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
Directions

Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle; press Start.
After the dough has doubled in size turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, cover and let rest for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
Roll dough into a 16x21 inch rectangle. Spread dough with 1/3 cup butter and sprinkle evenly with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Roll up dough and cut into 12 rolls. Place rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.

Wow! Wonder how many calories. I'm afraid. Very afraid.

Ohhh - yum, yum, yum!

They remind me of Chelsea buns without the fruit but with the cinnamon and butter. Since you lot have talked about them I've done nothing but want some, I'll just have to give the recipe a go, dammit (and thank you)

I might try it tomorrow. Seems to be huge quantities though. I don't think my machine could handle 41/2 cups of flour never mind all the rest.

I try a half batch tomorrow. Purely altruistic on my part of course. Just to be sure the recipe is good before anyone else wastes their time on it.

Aren't I kind?

Doesn't that mean 4 & a half cups? doh! you were joking.I didn't read it correctly.

My favourite recipe is a spring one.
Halibut steaks with hazelnut and lavender topping. Sorry no measurements as it was was made up.
Crush hazelnuts and add the very tips of young leaves of lavender. add some breadcrumbs probably about the same amount as hazelnuts. Add some lemon zest and season. Top the halibut steaks with the mixture and drizzle with olive oil and bake in the oven for 20 minutes at gas 4.

This sounds right up my street!!! I don't like raisins and hate fruit cake!!!

Another one that is delicious is a tofu (or chicken) marinade.
1tsp veg oil, 1tsp sesame oil, 1tsp soy sauce, 1 tbs peanut butter with bits, 1tbs ketchup 1tsp chopped fresh ginger,2 tsp honey and 2 cloves chopped garlic. Marinade the protein for 2 hours. The tofu should be in matchbox sized rectangles and then topped with the marinade. Either grill or bake it in the oven.

That marinade sounds wonderful, Mo. I'll be trying it.

Couldn't put raisins in it, DeeDee! That would be too healthy!

And it would take me HOURS to pick 'em back out!!!

Gosh been meaning to do that for absolute aaaages... still got to dig hubby's grandma's Welsh cake recipe, but in the meantime you can have my Quiche Lorraine one :)

Buy some shortcrust pastry and place it at the bottom of a quiche dish, making sure that obviously you've removed it from the wrapping and that it's also covering the sides of the dish. Pierce a few holes in the pastry with a fork.
In a bowl, whack 4 eggs. Drop in a medium size tub of crème fraîche (low fat's fine if needed) and mix. Then add a bit of salt and whatever flavourings you fancy. Nutmeg goes quite well, but don't put too much of it. Then mix in some bacon bits and some ham cubes (the smaller the better) and a bit of cheese. Stir.
Pour the mixture over the pastry (making sure it doesn't overflow), sprinkle some grated cheese on top and put in the oven that has been preheated. I'd say probably about 20 minutes at 180degC... but do keep an eye on it.
To check that it's cooked, dip your knife like you do for cakes. If it comes out clean (albeit a bit of steam) then the eggs are cooked and the Quiche is ready... TA DAM !!

Ok - you can put anything else you want, it'll still be a quiche, but it won't be the traditional Quiche Lorraine.

Low fat! Not on this thread if you please!!!

I absolutely love quiche lorraine. I've never tried to make it though. I've always just had a shop bought one. Maybe I should give it a try.

Lorraines recipe looks lovely. Not having to make pastry is a bonus.

Hey! I some pre-made in the freezer from the last big batch I made!
Cinnabon and quiche Lorraine tomorrow. Marinaded chicken on Sunday.

Dave's curry on Saturday.

Sorted.

Maureen, actually it's really easy to make, and it's hard to get it wrong (apart from if you forget it in the oven)

If we ever have a goodreads picnic one day I'll make loads, they're fab for taking on a picnic

I can't get creme fraiche here. :(

Will it still work?

I agree Jud. I would eat cheese on toast every day if I could.

Patti (P E) wrote: "I can't get creme fraiche here. :(

They sell some in Tesco and stuff, in the dairy section usually.

Mine's jacket potato. We don't have those in France. Proper winter comfort food that is !

Just realised on another thread you said you were in Africa Patti ! are you still there?

Potato skins with cheese and bacon. And sour cream. Total bliss...

mmmm.... baked potato...

where did that potato thread go?

Oh hang on... Tesco do deliver don't they?

Jud (judder) wrote: "mmmm.... baked potato...

I'm starting to feel like Rincewind!

Yes, I'm still in Africa, Lorraine. Tesco don't deliver here, unfortunately.

I'll just use extra cheddar.

Mmmmmmmmmm

If you were on Amazoo you would now throw a tantrum about it and demand the Tesco deliver to Africa and say you were being treated as a 2nd class citizen!

I'm drooling into my grand marnier..slurp..

Maybe there's some kind of local cream stuff you can use?

I think double or whipping would be ok.

And that there is a conspiracy to keep cheddar from the masses!

No, no cream here at the moment. Only one shop. I really need to post some photos, I think.

Please, I've never been to africa and it sounds fascinating!

buy a cow and make your own patti, who needs shops!

I do have a delete button, DeeDee.

Oops. I didn't mean to hit it though!!!!!

Sorry!!!!!
