Confinment food: BEEF STEW

(One of my Favourite Recipes! The sauce is really great for eating with rice! Older children especially love this! If you want to give this to slightly younger children, you might want to substitute the beef cubes with minced beef.)

300g Beef Flank Meat, cut into small cubes
2 potatoes, skinned & cut into small cubes
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 carrot, skinned & cut into small cubes
1 Tbsp pearl barley seeds
1 Large Onion, cut into wedges
OIL - for deep frying

Cornflour Mixture - 1 Tbsp cornflour mixed with 2 Tbsp cold water

Marinade:
1 tsp light soy, 1 Tbsp sugar, 1 tsp dark soy, 2 Tbsp cornflour, 1 Tbsp Oyster Sauce, 2 Tbsp oil

Seasoning:
1 tsp light soy, 1 tsp sugar.

Heat 6 cups oil in wok until hot. Add potatoes & deep fry until golden brown. Dish out & drain.

Heat 1 Tbsp oil. Fry carrots & onions for 1 min.

Add beef & fry for 3mins to seal in the juices. Add in the 1 Tbsp barley.

Pour in 3 cups water & bring contents to boil. Lower flame & simmer for 1 hour.

Add tomatoes & deep-fried potatoes. Continue to simmer for another ½ hour.

Thicken with cornflour mixture if required. Add seasoning if necessary.

Recommended for confinment: Panfried Fish Fillet with Mushrooms

Another recipe that i came across which is suitable for confinment dish
Use red snapper, sole or any boneless variety you prefer. Fish is an excellent source of protein. Do not overcook fish as it becomes tough and stringy. Use as little oil as possible to pan fry to keep fat intake to a minimum.

Serves: 2 people
2 fish fillet (sole or threadfin)
1 small head broccoli (cut into small florets)
4 - 6 baby potatoes
5 - 6 fresh button mushrooms
(washed and sliced)

1 tablespoon margarine OR
2 tablespoons soya bean oil
150 ml chicken stock (pre-seasoned)
50 ml milk (skimmed / low fat)
1 teaspoon flour
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
2 - 4 cloves garlic (chopped)
1 knob ginger (finely sliced and fried till crisp)
light soya sauce to taste

Method:
1. Season fish fillets with light sauce, a little pepper and turmeric powder. Leave aside for about 15 minutes before cooking.
2. Bring a pot of water to a boil seasoned with pepper, salt and 1/2 teaspoon margarine. Boil potatoes till soft, drain and leave aside.
3. In the same water, boil the broccoli florets till tender (do not overcook). Drain.
4. Bring stock to a boil. Stir in milk and add mushroom slices. Thicken with flour, blended in a little milk or water.
5. Heat oil in a pan. Keeping the heat fairly high, fry garlic till crisp and add fillets, turning over at intervals to ensure even browning.
6. Place fillets on dish with broccoli and potatoes. Pour over hot mushroom and serve with a knob of herb and garlic butter, if preferred.
