Cook

20min

Rehydrate the dried shiitake and shrimps and kikurage mushrooms with water, then finely slice the mushrooms.

Roughly chop the coriander and cut the tofu to bitesize pieces.

Put the soup and water from the rehydrated ingredients at Step 1 into a pan and bring to the boil.

Add the mushrooms and tofu to Step 3. Season with soy sauce, pepper and Chinese pepper.

Turn off the heat and add the potato starch. When the soup thickens, put the heat on again and gently pour in the beaten egg.

When the egg firms up, turn off the heat. Add the vinegar and stir a little.

Transfer to a bowl and pour over a mix of the sesame oil and Chinese chilli oil. Sprinkle with the coriander.

Osso Buco

Osso Buco, which translates as “hole of bone” is pure meaty awesomeness. Placing on a bed of risotto or polenta pays tribute to Osso Buco’s roots and takes this Italian comfort food to another level. Traditionally, Osso Buco is made with veal but see how I make Beef Osso Buco, a carnivorous wreath.

Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs, Sous Vide

It can be difficult to make a perfect hard-boiled egg that has a creamy yolk and a tender white. Overcooking a hard-boiled egg, which is easy to do, results in a chalky and sometimes greenish yolk, a rubbery egg white and a slightly sulfuric taste. In this video I demonstrate how I use my sous vide to get the perfect hard-boiled egg.
