Everyday Cooking Mince

IMG_9244This is a good all purpose cooking mince which can be used and useful in many chinese dishes. It’s easy to make and gives instant flavour to any dish, plus it is delicious to eat just on its own (guilty), if you so choose.

I will often use this if I want to cook something quickly and it’s usually powerful enough to still give that depth of flavour. IMG_9221
