We had a pot luck dinner the other night at Gerald and Lyndia's house. I brought some Beef Rendang (see related blog- Beef Rendang) while B brought an empty tummy. Lyndia made San Choi Bao for starters which were really yummy! So here is her recipe, which she kindly shared. I will definitely attempt this in the near future!
San Choi Bao Recipe
(serves 4)
250 mg mince chicken/pork
Small can of tinned bamboo shoots, roughly chopped
Small can of tinned water chestnuts, roughly chopped
1/2 carrot, shredded
1-2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1Chilli - deseeded and chopped
small knob ginger, grated
Lettuce (big, fresh leaves!)
Marinade:
1 tsp fish sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp sweet soy sauce
1 tbsp Shao Xing wine
pinch of sugar
Pepper to taste
Marinate the mince with the above marinade for 1/2 hr.
Remove lettuce leaves gently and wash thoroughly. Place lettuce cups on plates.
Fry ginger and garlic until fragrant. Add meat. Stir to make sure it does not clump together.
Add chilli babmboo shoots, water chestnut and carrot. Fry until meat and vegetables are cooked.
Then, serve in lettuce cups and top with fried shallots.
San Choi Bao is easier to eat with your fingers. Simply wrap the lettuce up and munch! :)
