East meets West as Ken Hom & Gizzi Erskine create Bri-nese dishes for the Year of the Pig<\/h3>\n

\nBritain is a melting pot of culinary flavours, experiences and creativity, with Chinese food a firm national favourite. Ken Hom is widely regarded as one of the world\u2019s greatest authorities on Chinese cooking, with six decades of cooking experience and a legacy that has helped Westerners learn to cook better Oriental cuisine; and Gizzi Erksine is an Asian food aficionado who has brought her world travel experiences into British kitchens through her approachable modern cooking style. Together they have created eight British-Chinese recipes that represent the best of a fusion of East and West.
\nKen Hom has recreated four Chinese classics with a distinctly British set of ingredients whilst Gizzi Erskine has taken some of Britain\u2019s most beloved dishes and given them an Oriental makeover. The combination of British ingredients and authentic Chinese sauces have created simple-to-cook dishes that will help families and urban foodies see how Lee Kum Kee\u2019s store cupboard staples like their iconic Premium Oyster Sauce and Chiu Chow Chilli Oil can revitalise mealtimes. With recipes ranging from Gizzi Erskine\u2019s Soy Roast Chicken to Ken Hom\u2019s Vegan Friendly Sichuan Dan Dan Noodles, there is something for everyone.<\/p>\n

Lee Kum Kee sauces are famous across China, with a proud 130 years of rich culinary heritage their authentic products are made from the finest ingredients and can be found everywhere from home kitchen cupboards to alongside the stoves of Michelin-starred chefs.

\n

\n

Ken Hom\u2019s Savoury Duck with Oyster Sauce<\/p>\n

\u201cWhole duck breasts can now be found at supermarkets which is quite fantastic. They are ideal for fast cooking especially in the wok. Since these duck breasts are tender and do not need much cooking, I think they should ideally be served like a lean piece of beef. Oyster sauce makes this dish not impressive but delicious without much work or fuss.\u201d \u2013 Ken Hom<\/p>\n

Serves 4
\nPreparation time: 15 minutes
\nCooking time: 15 minutes<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

450 g (1 lb) boneless duck breasts, skinned
\n2 teaspoons Lee Kum Kee Premium Light Soy Sauce
\n2 teaspoons Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
\n2 teaspoons sesame oil
\n\u00bc teaspoon salt
\nFreshly ground black pepper to taste
\n2 teaspoons cornflour
\n3 tablespoons groundnut oil
\n3 tablespoons garlic, coarsely chopped
\n225g (8 oz) onion, sliced
\n3 tablespoons Lee Kum Kee Premium Oyster sauce
\n1 tablespoon Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
\n2 teaspoons Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Chilli Oil
\n1 teaspoon sugar
\nhandful of fresh coriander sprigs
\nCut the duck breasts into thick slices 4 cm (1\u00bd in) long x 1 cm (\u00bd in) thick. Put the duck slices into a bowl and add the soy sauce, rice wine or dry sherry, sesame oil, salt, pepper and cornflour. Mix well and let the slices steep in the marinade for about 15 minutes.
\nHeat a wok or large frying-pan over high heat until it is very hot. Add the oil, and when it is very hot and slightly smoking, add the duck from the marinade and stir-fry for about 2 minutes. Remove the duck and drain it in a colander. The duck should be slightly pink. Pour off all but 1\u00bd tablespoons of the oil and re-heat it over high heat, add the garlic and onion and stir-fry for 3 minutes or until the onions are brown and soft.
\nTurn the heat to low and add the oyster sauce, rice wine, chilli oil and sugar and stir for 2 minutes. Return the duck to the wok or pan. Stir to mix well, toss in the coriander sprigs and serve at once with plain rice.<\/p>\n

Ken Hom\u2019s Braised Spicy Aubergines<\/p>\n

\u201cAubergines are one of my favourite vegetables. I love their colour, taste and texture. Their subtle flavour is receptive to a good zesty sauce, such as this one from Western China. It’s worth trying to get the small, long thin Chinese aubergines for their sweet taste. However, this recipe also works perfectly well with the large European variety. The Chinese prefer to leave the skin on because it holds the aubergine together throughout the cooking and because the skins are tender, tasty and nutritious, but your preference may be for the skinned version.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo techniques are employed here: a quick stir-frying to blend the seasonings, and braising which cooks the aubergines and makes a sauce in which the aubergines are served. The result is a tender and distinctively flavoured vegetable dish.\u201d \u2013 Ken Hom<\/p>\n

Serves 4
\nPreparation: 15 minutes
\nCooking time: 20 minutes<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

450g (1 lb) aubergines
\n2 teaspoons salt
\n1\u00bd tablespoon groundnut or vegetable oil
\n2 tablespoons garlic, finely chopped
\n1\u00bd tablespoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
\n3 tablespoons spring onions, white part only, finely chopped
\n2 tablespoons Lee Kum Kee Premium Dark Soy Sauce
\n1 tablespoon Lee Kum Kee Chilli Garlic Sauce
\n1 tablespoon Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Chilli oil
\n1 tablespoon sugar
\n1 tablespoon cider vinegar
\n2 teaspoons Sichuan peppercorns, roasted and ground
\n300 ml (10 fl oz) vegetarian stock or water
\nTo garnish:
\n2 tablespoons green spring onion tops, chopped
\nTrim and cut the aubergines into 2.5 cm (1 inch) cubes. Sprinkle the cubes with salt and leave them in a sieve to drain for 20 minutes. Then rinse them under cold running water and pat them dry with kitchen paper.
\nHeat a wok or large frying-pan over high heat until it is hot. Add the oil, and when it is very hot and slightly smoking, add the garlic, ginger and spring onions and stir-fry them for 30 seconds, then add the aubergines and continue to stir-fry for 1 minute. Then add the rest of the ingredients. Turn the heat down and cook uncovered for 10-15 minutes until the aubergine is tender, stirring occasionally.
\nReturn the heat to high and continue to stir until the liquid has been reduced and has thickened slightly. Turn the mixture onto a serving dish and garnish with the chopped spring onions tops.<\/p>\n

Gizzi Erskine\u2019s Mushroom, Beansprout and Spring Onion Crispy Broken Eggs<\/p>\n

\u201cThis protein-packed dish is light, fresh and healthy, as well as being super-quick to make. It\u2019s perfect for when you need something fast and fresh-tasting with a bit of a kick and that satisfying umami quality, which is provided by the oyster sauce.\u201d \u2013 Gizzi Erskine<\/p>\n

Serves 1
\nPrep time 5 minutes
\nCooking time: 5 minutes<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3 tbsp groundnut oil
\n3 Large Portobello Mushrooms, sliced into1cm thick pieces
\n3 spring onions, topped and tailed and cut into 5cm lengths
\nA large handful of beansprouts
\n3 medium eggs
\n\u00bd tsp sea salt
\n1 1\/2 tbsp Lee Kum Kee Premium Oyster Sauce
\n1 tsp Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Chilli Oil
\n1\/2 red chilli thinly sliced
\nA few coriander leaves
\nPinch of white pepper<\/p>\n

Cook\u2019s Tip: For a vegetarian alternative replace the oyster sauce by mixing together 1 tablespoon of Lee Kum Kee Sweet Soy Sauce mixed with 1 tablespoon of the oil and chilli seeds from the Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Chilli Oil
\nHeat the oil in a wok or frying pan, over a very high heat. First fry the mushrooms for 3-4 minutes until their juices start to run and they begin to caramelise. Next add the spring onions, followed by the beansprouts and cook for 1 minute, keeping all the veg moving. Remove from the pan and set aside.
\nAdd another large glug of oil to the wok and allow to get really hot. Crack the eggs into the wok, sprinkle with salt, and fry for 1 or 2 minutes, until the whites begin to crisp up but the yolks are still runny.
\nAdd the vegetables to the eggs, and with a spatula carefully fold one half of the eggs over the top. Don\u2019t worry if the eggs break, that\u2019s why it\u2019s called broken eggs!
\nSlide the eggs onto a plate, and drizzle the oyster sauce all over, followed by the oil from Chiu Chow Chilli Oil. Sprinkle with white pepper, the fresh chilli and lastly the coriander before serving immediately.
\nIf you are vegetarian you can replace the oyster sauce by mixing together 1 tablespoon of Sweet Soy Sauce mixed with 1 tablespoon of the oil and chilli seeds from the Chiu Chow Chilli Oil.<\/p>\n

Ken Hom\u2019s Vegan friendly Sichuan Dan Dan Noodles
\n\u201cThis vegetarian version of the popular Sichuan traditional \u2018dan-dan noodles\u2019, is meatless and is lighter than the original. Use your imagination with any of your favourite vegetables like courgette or carrots, or even cucumber. It is the sauces that gives this noodle dish its full bite of chillies, garlic and other seasonings without the heaviness. These noodles are usually served after a meal, making a tasty finale. But I think this recipe can be easily a delicious part of any meal or a simple main dish.\u201d \u2013 Ken Hom<\/p>\n

Serves 4
\nPreparation: 15 minutes
\nCooking time: 15 minutes<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

1 tablespoon groundnut or vegetable oil
\n110g courgette, finely chopped
\n1 tablespoon garlic, finely chopped
\n2 teaspoons fresh ginger, finely chopped
\n2 tablespoons Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
\n2 tablespoons Lee Kum Kee chilli garlic sauce
\n2 teaspoons Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Chilli oil
\n1 tablespoon peanut butter
\n1 tablespoon Lee Kum Kee Premium dark soy sauce
\n1 tablespoon sugar
\n450ml (16 fl oz) vegetarian stock
\n225g (8oz) whole wheat noodles
\nHeat a wok or large frying pan over high heat and add the oil. Add the courgette, garlic, ginger and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the rest of the ingredients. Reduce the heat and simmer for 3 minutes over low heat.
\nCook the noodles in a large pot of boiling water according to the pack instructions. Drain them well in a colander. Divide the noodles into individual bowls and ladle the sauce over them. Serve at once.<\/p>\n

Ken Hom\u2019s Mother’s Braised East-West Beef Stew
\n\u201cChinese cuisine is famous for its receptivity and for the flexibility and adaptability of its techniques. This recipe demonstrates these virtues. My mother – who spoke only Cantonese – often prepared braised oxtail stew, a dish that turns out to be a delicious combination of East and West and was inexpensive. Although oxtail is a venerable Chinese food, the tomato-based stew is a Western concept adopted in China a scant one hundred years ago. The soy sauce used in the recipe is of course a staple in Asian cookery; the use of carrots, turnips, and potatoes is strictly Western in spirit. Combined as they are, using Chinese techniques, these different East-West ingredients result in a deliciously hearty dish that contains the best of both cultures.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this recipe, I am using beef brisket which works just as well and is very easy to make, reheats well, and tastes even better when reheated. A perfect autumn or winter dish with plain rice. This recipe has the Asian balance of meat and vegetables: more vegetables than meat.\u201d \u2013 Ken Hom<\/p>\n

Serves: 4
\nPreparation time: 30 minutes
\nCooking time: 2 hours<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

900g- 1kg (2 to 2\u00bc lb) beef brisket
\n2 x 400g cans of plum tomatoes, drained and chopped
\n1 tablespoon olive oil
\n1 tablespoon groundnut oil
\n225 g (8 oz) onions, peeled and coarsely chopped
\n2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
\n3 tablespoons Lee Kum Kee plum sauce
\n2 tablespoons Lee Kum Kee hoisin sauce
\n3 tablespoons Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
\nZest from 1 lemon
\n2 tablespoons Lee Kum Kee Premium light soy sauce
\nSalt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
\n450g (1 lb) carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
\n450g (1 lb) turnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
\n225g (8 oz) new potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
\nSmall handful of olives
\nBlanch the beef for 10 minutes in boiling water, drain well in a colander, and pat dry with paper towels.
\nPut the tomatoes into a food processor and blend for just a few seconds or put them through a food mill. Set aside.
\nHeat a heavy casserole pot over moderate heat, add the olive and peanut oil, and slowly brown the beef on all sides. Remove them with a slotted spoon and pour off the excess fat and oil, leaving just 1 tablespoon. Add the onions and garlic, and cook for a few minutes until they are translucent.
\nAdd to the onions and garlic the beef, tomatoes, plum sauce, hoisin sauce, Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry, lemon zest, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 1\u00bd hours, or until the beef is tender. Skim the fat from the surface from time to time.
\nAdd the carrots, turnips, and potatoes and cook, covered, for 20 minutes or until tender. Add the olives and heat them through. Skim off any surface fat and serve at once with plain rice on the side.<\/p>\n

Gizzi Erskine\u2019s Soy Roast Chicken<\/p>\n

\u201cThis dish combines two of my favourite things \u2013 a great British roast dinner and Asian flavours. Nothing beats a roast chicken, but this take on it delivers something a bit special that can either be served with all the traditional roast trimmings or equally well with plain rice and stir-fried vegetables.\u201d \u2013 Gizzi Erskine<\/p>\n

Serves 4
\nPrep time: 10 minutes
\nMarinating time: 1-24 hours
\nCooking time: 1 hour 10 minutes
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

1 whole chicken 1.5-2kg
\nFor the marinade:
\n3 tbsp Lee Kum Kee light soy sauce
\n1 tbsp Lee Kum Kee dark soy sauce
\n3 tbsp golden caster sugar
\n1 tbsp sesame oil
\n60ml rice vinegar
\n3 tbsp Lee Kum Kee Premium Oyster sauce
\n1.2 tsp Chinese 5 spice
\n1 tsp ground white pepper
\n1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
\n5 cm piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
\n1 red chilli, halved
\n6 spring onions
\n1 tbsp groundnut oil
\nDecent pinch of sea salt
\nMix together all of the marinade ingredients together in a small bowl. Place the chicken on a roasting tray. Pour the marinade all over the chicken, massaging it into the skin, and stuffing the ginger pieces and chilli into the cavity of the chicken. Allow to marinate for at least 1 hour, but preferably overnight.
\nOnce the marinating time is up, preheat the oven to 190C \/ 160C fan oven \/ Gas mark 5. Now this next bit is a little fiddly, but trust me it\u2019s worth it. With a needle and thread, carefully sew up the skin around the base cavity of the chicken, (blanket stitch is ideal for this), so that it is as tightly sealed as possible. Pour off the marinade into a jug.
\nGive the roasting tray and wash, and then lay the spring onions in a line to act as a trivet for the chicken. Next, pour the marinade back into the cavity of the chicken through the neck cavity. Gently place on top of the spring onions being careful not to lose any juices. Finally, sew the skin of the neck cavity up to contain all of the marinade within the chicken.
\nDrizzle the groundnut oil over the chicken, and season liberally with salt. Put in the oven for 1 hour 10 minutes, depending on the size of the bird.
\nAllow the chicken to rest for 20 minutes before serving. To serve; cut through the part of the chicken that\u2019s been sewn together and Pour out the juices. Carve the chicken either British or Chinese style and serve.<\/p>\n

Gizzi Erskine\u2019s Chinese Barbecue Gammon & Pineapple<\/p>\n

\u201cA British pub classic that\u2019s been given a Chinese makeover \u2013 this smoky Chinese Barbecue Gammon and Pineapple balances salty, sweet and spicy together perfectly. I love it served with freshly cooked chips, or alternatively brown sushi rice.\u201d \u2013 Gizzi Erskine<\/p>\n

Serves 2
\nPrep time: 5 minutes
\nCooking time: 20 minutes<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

2 x 1.5cm thick slice of smoked gammon chops or steaks (approx. 200g each)
\n2 x 2cm thick rounds of fresh pineapple, peeled and cored.
\nFor the glaze:
\n1 \u00bd tsp Lee Kum Kee Premium Light Soy Sauce
\n1 tbsp Lee Kum Kee Plum Sauce
\n80ml rice vinegar
\n3 tbsp ketchup
\n300ml pineapple juice
\n\u00bd tsp Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Chilli Oil
\n\u00bd tsp Chinese five spice
\n1 tsp butter
\n2 tbsp groundnut oil
\nTo serve:
\nChips or 190g Brown sushi rice or plain rice<\/p>\n

First, if you have time, soak the gammon in cold water for 2 hours, to help remove some of the saltiness.
\nTo make the glaze, add the soy sauce, plum sauce, rice vinegar, ketchup, pineapple juice, Chiu Chow Chilli Oil and Chinese five spice together into a small saucepan, and place over a moderate heat for about 5 minutes, whisking until combined. Take off the heat and whisk in the butter until it has emulsified into the sauce. Set aside.
\nIn a frying pan, heat the oil over a high heat. Once the pan is smoking hot, add the gammon chops and fry for 2 minutes on each side. I like to put a saucepan to weight the gammon down to achieve a really good caramelisation, remove from the pan and set aside.
\nWash the pan, return to the heat, and add a little more oil before adding the pineapple. Fry on each side for a couple of minutes. Don\u2019t worry if the pineapple gets a little charred, you actually are aiming for that as this adds another dimension to the final flavour.
\nPlace one round of pineapple on top of each gammon steak. Pour over the glaze, allow to bubble for a few seconds. Serve immediately the traditional British way, with chips! Or alternatively with sushi rice or plain rice.<\/p>\n

Gizzi Erskine\u2019s Pan Griddled Mackerel with Soy Glazed Beetroot
\n\u201cThis mackerel dish combines the best of British ingredients with the fish and beetroot, with top quality store-cupboard staples: soy sauce, rice vinegar and sesame oil. The simplicity of the dish is what makes it such a joy to cook and eat.\u201d \u2013 Gizzi Erskine<\/p>\n

Serves 2
\nPrep time: 5 mins
\nCooking time: 20 mins<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

4 boneless mackerel fillets
\nBaby beetroot, Heirloom are best, around 6 depending on size
\n30ml Lee Kum Kee Premium Light Soy Sauce
\n30ml rice vinegar
\n30ml Lee Kum Kee Pure Sesame Oil
\n1 tbsp of sesame seeds
\n2 \u00bd tsp sugar (or 10g)
\nsea salt flakes
\na good couple of handfuls mizuna or watercress leaves
\nthe juice of 1 lemon
\nTo make the beetroot, place them with their skins and roots still on, into a pan of water and bring to the boil. If you have managed to get all three colours, (yellow, candy striped and purple), you will want to do this in separate pans so the purple ones don\u2019t stain the others! Cook for approximately 10 minutes until tender. Remove from the pan and refresh in cold water. The skins should rub off easily now, but keep the roots on as they look pretty.
\nAdd the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil and sugar, and put over a moderate heat for 10-15 minutes until it has reduced and turned into a thick glossy glaze. Add the beetroots to the pan and gently coat them all over with the glaze. Put to one side whilst you cook the mackerel.
\nPut a griddle pan over the biggest highest flame and get really hot to the point of it starting to smoke. Rub a little olive oil onto the skin side of the mackerel fillets, followed by a liberal seasoning of salt. When the pan is hot enough, place the mackerel skin side down, and fry for 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and serve immediately with the beetroots and dress some mizuna leaves with the leftover glaze a little lemon juice, salt, pepper, olive oil and a sprinkling of sesame seeds.<\/p>\n
