Grub in the Motorhome

[CazPaul]

A lovely change cooked today in the Motorhome. Meat free Sunday.

Chilli garlic Tempeh noodles with crunchy rainbow vegetables, it’s amazing what you can do with a 3 burner hob and a Smev oven.

Beautiful, a slab or 2 of rye bread with mine followed by 4 small squares of this 100% dark chocolate.

Not for all but some if you will enjoy this, maybe Coolcats

Ok so supposing you don’t have an oven, just a 3 ring gas burner-off grid!

You will be able to improvise it’s amazing what you can rustle up with just a hob.

Get a large wok or a cast iron flat griddle plate ( preferably both) with a little practice, anything can be done!

Lots of different stir-fry in the Wok and full English, including toast, on the griddle plate.

Both are yummy! I've recently got into Tempeh. A really healthy alternative to meat and so much more flavourful than tofu being fermented. I usually do it in a Thai curry. Montezuma's is a fav too. The company was started where I live. My fav flavour is lime and sea salt.

We don’t have an oven… a remoska is sometimes used…

 

[WESTY66]

We had Faschierter Rahmbraten Tata’s and peas, and a cheeky bier rock a hour before, all home cooked from scratch by Mrs Westy,

 

[Bernie P]

Just had two gorgeous pork chops from the local butcher in Filey. Cooked slowly in the Remoska, fell off the bone. No pictures sorry we just got stuck into them.

Going back in the morning to get some more to take home.

8 slices of belly pork, or whatever they call it in Spain, done on the BBQ, with veg from the Friday market. Virtually no rain in Denia in spite of a forecast of two days heavy rain over this weekend.

Meat Free Sunday ?

 

[nicholsong]

You are all b*stards talking about food like that, when I have put myself on a diet.

My dinner was a small portion of herring in a dill sauce and half a bread roll, followed by a mandarin.

But I am taking the opportunity to lose weight while Basia is away skiing for a week. Despite my pleadings for small portions and no potatoes she always adds another spoonful and it almost ends up in a row - food is the only thing we argue about, so I suppose it is good that there is nothing worse.

I made a cracking pot of spicy veg soup today , also meat free and with fresh crusty bread .

A large pot makes 7/8 portions so I've a few tubs in freezer now too.
First van I've had without an oven ....I still miss it but a tajine and a double skillet can also provide some good meals.

Pot noodle shared between two large tortilla wraps and rolled up.

Rog’s leftover ma bo dofu for us yesterday. Delicious. The recipe assumes you just freeze the base but last time we added the tofu and aubergine too and it was fine.

Korean-Style Mabo Tofu
★★★★★
- - Calorie Counted, Korea
Prep Time: less than 30 mins | Cook Time: 10 to 30 mins | Servings: Base serves 4

Ingredients:

1 tbsp oil
1 onion, very finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tsp fresh root ginger, peeled and finely grated
400g beef or pork mince
2 tbsp Korean gochujang chilli paste
1 tbsp Korean doenjang soybean paste or miso paste
1-2 tbsp Sichuan chilli paste & oil (swap for 2 fresh chillies if counting calories)
225ml good chicken stock
3 tbsp mirin
3 tbsp Korean soju or sake
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Additions for 2
200g firm tofu, drained and cut into 1cm cubes
1 large aubergine, cut into 1cm cubes

To serve

Directions:
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. When hot, add the onion and stir-fry until soft. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for another minute, until aromatic.
Add the beef, turn up the heat a little and stir-fry for until the meat is beginning to colour. Add the gochujang paste, doenjang paste, some salt and a few grindings of pepper. Stir to combine together and stir-fry over a high heat for 1–2 minutes, breaking up the beef until almost cooked.
Add the stock, mirin, soju (or sake), soy sauce, chilli, cornflour mixture, sesame oil and gently mix together. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 15–20 minutes. Stir frequently and cook until the sauce has reduced down and is thick and glossy.
At this point, if serving 2, freeze half the base mixture.
Fry the cubed aubergine in a little oil until softened and brown. Add it and the tofu to the base mixture.
Serve.

I have a Remoska-that will/does work well from the inverter (once we get solar & batts sorted)
Slow Cooker too, but only use that when we are on hook-up.
Griddle-ribbed-plate and a RidgeMonkey.
I also have a large, deep pan for stir fry.
Used to have a double skillet, but couldn’t get on with it, same with an Omnia!
Tried a MrD, hated it!
Manic said if we want a full roast we’ll go to out for one!

Had to read this twice. I thought you said:

“Griddle-ribbed plaice and monkey”
