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 Storm to Watch - Over Tocumwal N.S.W. Australia - Mini Tornado

A mini Tornado struck Strathmerton on the weekend of October 31/10/15 destroying a couple of houses. Luckily no one was hurt. Just a bit further along the Murray River at Tocumwal the Tornado ended. We happened to be home and live near the edge of town, close to the river.  We saw the sky turn pink, grey and green. Ominous. Can't remember a stormy grey sky turning pink or especially green before. Made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. Then we heard this roar.  Bernie looked at me as we stood on our back verandah watching the clouds flying about and said "What's that noise?" I replied, "Wind. Lots of it. I think we should go inside now." As I said this we saw the sky along the river turn green and pink and the trees begin to whip wildly. We retreated inside for a bit and as the roar died away we ventured back out to the front verandah as torrential rain began to fall. And boy did it rain!!! The early afternoon turned dark as the clouds above turned ...

Great Reading - Crime, Conspiracy, Action - "Mortal Insight" by E.B. James

  Mortal Insight A brilliant novel. Draws you in, then keeps you in suspense. It brings you conspiracy, crime, action and asks the question: When your life is at stake, are some truths worth bringing out into the open? Detective Sergeant Steve Keller has begun to see things. He desperately hopes the visions mean something and not that he's going crazy. But the visions don't go away, and when they start meaning something more, Steve finds himself caught in an investigation way bigger than he ever imagined. As the pieces begin to fit together, something dangerous emerges. He can't hide what he knows, but to expose it doesn't just stir up controversy, it provokes someone who lurks in the shadows; someone who will kill to keep this information quiet. Great reading, didn't want to put it down when I first began to read it. When I picked it up the second time, well, I couldn't put it down until I finished it at 2.00am in the morning!!! Worth the lack o...

 Perhaps I'm a little prejudiced, as Tocumwal is my home town, but I've always loved the Murray River Red Gums and watching the river & the bird, animal life here. All year around it delights me. Even the noisy Corella's can't put me off, I love living here. So why would a visitor want to spend time in Toc? Let me list just a small few off its attractions for you: Water sports: Fishing, skiing, swimming, canoeing, and any other water play you might like.
