Let's Get Started
For the cheeseburger spring rolls:
WARNING: Deep frying in hot oil can be extremely dangerous. Always use oil with a high smoke point; keep a well-fitting lid nearby in case the oil catches fire; never deep-fry food with a high moisture content; never leave hot oil unattended; keep pan handles away from the front of your stove;
If your oil begins to smoke turn off the heat; If the oil catches fire turn off the heat and cover the flames with a lid or large baking tray; NEVER add water to hot oil. Half-fill a medium saucepan with vegetable oil and bring to 180C over a medium-high heat*. Carefully ease the spring rolls into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Using tongs, transfer the spring rolls
to a plate lined with paper towel to drain excess oil. Allow the spring rolls to cool slightly before serving.
*Deep frying in hot oil can be dangerous. Here’s another (safer!) recipe for kitchen beginners:
Preheat your oven to 160C. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a shallow sauté pan over a medium heat. When the pan is hot add the spring rolls and fry for 2-3 minutes turning often until they’re golden brown all over.
Transfer from pan to baking a tray and place in the oven for 5 minutes.
For the cucumber kimchi:
Cut cucumber into thin batons or rounds and place into a bowl with chives and shallots. Add kimchi paste. Using gloves, gently massage the paste to cover all the greens. Serve.
For the slow roasted pork hock:
Preheat oven to 180 degrees & put pork on tray or roasting pan for 25-30 minutes until hot. Plate up and pull apart with fork to serve. Serve with butter lettuce, five flavor sauce, cucumber kimchi, mint and vietnamese mint.
The best way to enjoy the pork is to take a little bit of all the condiments with a bit of pork and place them into a lettuce leaf. Fold it up and try to eat it in one bite!
For the tom yum fried rice:
Stir-fry the rice in a frying pan until piping-hot and transfer to a serving dish.
Alternatively, microwave the rice in its packaging for 2-3 minutes with the lid slightly ajar. Garnish with the furikake and serve.
For the gailan:
Steam gailan for 3 -4 minutes until soft and drain off excess water. Plate and pour over dashi soy and top with black bean fried garlic crumble.
Dessert
For the chocolate fondant:
Bring the fondants to room temperature for a couple of hours. Preheat the oven to 180 and bake the fondants for 8-10 mins.
Leave to rest for 2 mins before turning out of the mould. Heat the caramel sauce before pouring over the fondants.
