Recipe: Steamed Pork & Chicken Gow Gees.

Cindy's Steamed Chicken & Pork Gow Gees.

4 packets of Gow Gee wrappers.( Most supermarkets stock these)
500gms of pork mince
500gms of chicken mince
1 red onion
1 carrot
1 bunch fresh Corriander
4 cloves garlic ( or 1 heaped teaspoon diced jar garlic)
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger. ( or jar ginger)
Approx. 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Approx. 1 teaspoon sugar.
3 tablespoons fish sauce ( I use Squid Brand).

Method:

 ( I have a Thermomix so use that to chop everything and steam the Gow Gees).

Finely grate onion & carrot. Finely chop corriander, garlic & ginger. Put them into a large mixing bowl and add pork & chicken mince and seasonings. Mix well.
Open 1 pkt of gow gee wrappers at a time, so they don't dry out.

Take 1 wrapper and place a small teaspoon of mixture in centre. Press edges together well until they stick, put on baking paper on a plate repeat, opening another gow gee wrapper pack when needed.

Place Gow Gees into a steamer and cook approx. 10-15minutes until transparent and soft looking, don't overlap them or they will stick together. You will have to do a number of batches. Don't overcook them or they will start to split or fall apart when you try to pick them up. They should be just transparent enough to see the mixture and starting to wrinkle a bit.

If you are going to freeze them (and you will have a lot from this recipe) they keep really well.  Place them onto baking paper sheets until they cool, making sure they don't touch each other or they will stick together. Once cold I put them into batches for 2 people in zip lock bags so I can just take out what I need.

They are great as an entree, just steam for a few minutes until hot through, or microwave if you want. Serve them with Soy Sauce.  

They are also lovely in a chicken broth - home made Won Ton Soup.

This mixture can also be used to make spring rolls. Just replace the Gow Gee Wrappers with Spring Roll wrappers and deep fry them until pale golden brown (Just cooked if freezing them). They freeze well then and to re-heat them, place them frozen onto an oven tray and heat at 180C for about 15-20mins until deep golden brown. Don't thaw them first or they go soggy and break up.

If you want to eat your spring rolls from fresh, cook them until they are golden brown and serve with Soy Sauce or Vietnamese Dipping Sauce.

Great Places To Visit - Sanders Apples U-Pick and Orchard Tours. Three Bridges Yarra Valley Victoria Australia.

See first hand how an orchard operates and gain an understanding of the apple growing process.  Great education for the kids to learn how their food is grown and produced. Not just the product on the shelf in a store. Want to have a picnic with the kids? No better place than Sanders Apple Orchards , Three Bridges, Yarra Valley, Victoria.

My Favourite Recipe Book for Slices -The Australian Women's Weekly Little Squares & Slices

Well I can only tell you that baking was boring and uninteresting before by dear sister-in-law introduced me to this wonderful cookbook.   The Womens Weekly Little Squares & Slices. The easiest, tastiest and some are even healthy little treats that you can make, encourage you to bake for kids fairs, church fundraisers etc.  A few of them even freeze well, so I have a day where I cook up the freezable ones. Then I leave an assortment of (usually cook 3) them in a cake tin on our kitchen table (the gathering and eating place) and freeze the rest cut and ready to go with baking paper between the layers. That way I just take out a little of each at a time (there's only hubby and I at home now) and we don't "pig out" on them before the slice goes stale.  It's also handy when friends/family drop in unexpectedly as you can go to the freezer and take some out and in about 5 mins they are ready to eat, depending on the slice. My favourite to freeze is chocolate ca...
