    Rump it is!

    Thanks team

    I didn't read the recipe, but regardless in all stir fry type situations I will slice the meat thin then sprinkle a little salt in the bowl. Not scientific but I reckon it tastes better that way. I've used baking soda to tenderize some times, it works to make it tender but you do lose a lot of the bite which I enjoy. If the meat looks tough you can, but not too much and not for too long

    This recipe uses baking soda:

    "In a medium bowl, toss together the beef, baking soda, and 1/4 cup water, and allow it to marinate for 1 hour. The baking soda will help to tenderize the beef."

    Then water:

    "Then “wash” the beef under running water for 5 minutes, using a light to moderate stream of water so it flows out, but the beef stays in the bowl."

    Then cornstarch:

    "After the beef has been rinsed, pour out the water, and marinate the beef with two teaspoons of cornstarch. Set aside"

    If I'm doing it I only dunk it for about 20 minutes. If the meat is good and looks quite tender you probably don't need it frankly

    Ended up doing this tonight - on a bit of an Asian kick since the Asian supermarket is still open and the dishes work with lesser cuts or just straight less meat.

    Was pretty tasty, we have some crazy asian chilli oil which had me sweating into my bowl

    I did, and I actually have you to thank for it - because right next to the (closed) Neat Meats that you sent me to, is the Asian grocer who remains open! I spent 15mins in there trying to find what I needed for this recipe and the sichaun beef one, and was a solid 5 things short And thinking the dream was over, until the owner bloke came to help me and found what I was missing in 45 seconds (all labelled in Chinese).

    So thanks! 👍😁👍

    I have also made lemon posset, slightly different in technique in that I boil the cream with the sugar and add the lemon juice then allow to cool. It is quite surprising to see how the lemon juice instantly thickens the cream. It is very easy and really tasty. Try adding a drop or two of sherry to make into a syllabub.

    Hows that going? I made my kids watch that about a year ago, and it was a bit painful TBH. Slow moving, pretty dated, could feel the kids boredom - I was really disappointed !

    It's awesome eh, even for a basic bugger like me. Just about to start on a chutney after @taniwharugby mentioned it. You mentioned brisket, I have one sitting in brine in the fridge ready for this weekend with homemade sauerkraut and crusty bread.

    I read that dissolving the sugar in the lemon made a smoother result. Probably less chance of being grainy.
    Have no proof.

    Better than I expected actually. They're pretty engrosssed. The threshold is low though.. they don't watch a massive amount of modern movies.

    Crucial, can I sub in limes for lemon? Our lime tree is full of fruit

    It may have just been a seasonal thing when I was in NZ at Xmas, but a tree full of limes would have a street value of about 42,000,000 NZD.

    @nzzp at the risk of taking over the food thread, my 3 kids (11, 9 and 6) have been absolutely enthralled by the Hunger Games during lockdown. Multiple viewings for all, books for the older ones. Been great.

    I can never understand why lines and commercially grown in NZ and we pay a fortune for imports.
    Even in Wellington weather have a tree growing in a pot that produces ok.
    Other folk I know have well established trees that produce more than they can use.

    So last nights third of a brisket turned out marvellous. I also did the potatoes as others have done but a squeeze a lemon over them once cool too. Then into beef dripping.

    That with steamed beans made for a lovely dinner. Sauce was banging too but I didn’t take photo.
