Sapasui
Sapasui (Chopsuey)

serves 10
• 1.5 kg of meat (rump steak, leg of lamb, corn brisket) diced
• 1.5 kg of pork pieces (optional)
• 6 clove clusters of garlic finely chopped
• 2 large onions finely chopped
• ¾ cup cooking oil
• 1.5 bottles of dark soy sauce
• 2 packets vermicelli soaked in 1.5 litres of hot water (do this
• when meat is cooked)
• 3 litres of hot water
Place meat in large pot. Pour in cold water to cover the meat. Boil meat until tender (do not over cook). Pour out the liquid from the boiled meat into a plastic bowl. Leave to sit. Pour into pot of drained meat the oil, onions, garlic and half a bottle of soy sauce. Fry and stir until garlic and onions are cooked. Drain the soaking vermicelli. DO NOT CUT WITH SCISSORS. Leave vermicelli whole. Pour vermicelli into the pot of meat and other
ingredients. Add 1.5 litres of water and the liquid from the boiled meat. Leave to boil. Stir pot gently to mix in vermicelli with meat. Add half a bottle of soy sauce while ingredients are cooking. Stir gently again until soy sauce is fully mixed into vermicelli. Leave to simmer for 3-4 minutes on low temperature. Add more soy sauce according to taste. Add more hot water if vermicelli has soaked up liquid and looks a bit dry.

250 g mung beans, vermicelli they are also called cellophane (found in the asian section of your supermarket) or 1 glass noodles
2 tablespoons oil
1 large onion , diced
2 -4 garlic cloves , crushed (or a good tablespoon of the prepared garlic in a jar)
1 tablespoon of fresh grated gingerroot (or 1 tb of ginger from a jar)
300 g mincemeat (all meats are fine, beef, chicken or pork) or 500 g of chopped meat (all meats are fine, beef, chicken or pork)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 cups water
½ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup , manis
2 -5 cups chopped vegetables , I love veggies so I added 5 cups (fresh or frozen)
1 teaspoon vegetable stock powder or 1 teaspoon chicken stock powder or 1 teaspoon beef stock powder
Directions:
1In a large pan, fry the onion, garlic and ginger until the onion is translucent over a med/high heat.2Add and fry the meat for no more than 2 minutes It needs to be just seared. Stir so it doesn't burn.3Add the soy sauce and water (the water should almost cover the meat - not totally). Let simmer over a med. heat while you prepare the noodles (about 5 minutes).4Prepare the noodles as per the pack instructions (place hot water in a bowl and add the noodles, let stand until they are re-hydrated and plyable).5Snip the noodles, you want each strand to be short.6Add the noodles plus 1 cup of the water from the noodles.7Add the remaining ingredients. It will look soupy - this is normal.8Stir and let simmer over a medium heart for 10-15 minutes.9Serve as is!

ISLAND CHOW MEIN
250gm packet of vermicelli is heaps. Soak it in boiling water then drain.
Dark Soya Sauce
Finely dice:1kg steak, (you can use topside but I prefer rump)
Chop: 3 onions and cloves of garlic, as many as you like depending on taste.
Grate Fresh Ginger
Put a tblspn or two of oil on a large pot and heat until really hot
Fry off the Onion, Garlic & Ginger
Add the Rump.
Add Soy Sauce maybe a 1/4 cup to start
Add water enough to cover meat and simmer for maybe 30 minutes or longer if you use topside
Taste. If you want more Garlic or Ginger, add it now. Add more soy if required. DON'T SALT. There is enough in the soy.
Add the vermicelli, mix through so that the soy colours the vermicelli totally. Alternatively let the meat cool overnight, reheat the next day and then add vermicelli. Eat!
