Very Quick Chinese Chip Shop Curry Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Debra47 / All my dishes 6 months, 3 weeks ago My son loves Chinese Take-Away Curries, so the challenge was to try and duplicate a typical meal (but add vegetables for health, colour and roundness) and put it together fairly quickly. The use here of a pre-prepared branded product is not our usual... More Prep:15m Cook:10m Servings:4	Debra47

Directions

Once chopped, put celery, carrots and sliced green onions in a bowl and set aside

Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan

Add the minced onion, garlic and curry powder - cook for 2/3 mins

Add the chopped eggplant until it soaks up most of the oil

Add the uncooked prawns/shrimp cook for about a minute

Toss the pan or turnover the prawns after 30 seconds

Add all the remaining vegetables from your bowl - cook for a further two minutes moving and stirring all the time

Lastly add the 'Bisto' curry sauce - pre-prepared ( 8 spoonfuls into 2 cups of boiling water & stir) to the wok

Cook for a further minute or so

Serve with rice or noodles - pretty damn close to the real thing!

Give me the flavour base for the curry sauce and I can probably emulate it. I've been schooled in Indian cuisine and can make the sauce from scratch ... if that's what you want. Personally, I hate premade sauces.

Have to agree Fran - we don't like preprepared ingredients either. Have a look at the rest of our recipes - this is a one-off. However, we did give a link to an alternative method of making the sauce from scratch which we are gonna try ourselves.

Nevertheless we'd be interested in your take on it. Chinese Curry Sauce I think is a British Chinese invention and an attempt at a kind of tangy Madras blanded and bulked out by a little flour. Main spice ingredients are Paprika, Chilli, Ginger and Garlic. Over to you...

I am working on the flavours and ingredients without having ever tasted it ... and not likely to as I am in South Australia and prolly won't get hold of it. Have looked up the net and am coming up with a recipe. My email addy is if that will make it easier to converse over the creation of our new and wonderful sauce!!

Frantic@internode.on.net ... didn't seem to come through on the last note

I've come up with something which sounds interesting based on the ingredients from the label of the Chip Shop Curry Sauce. I don't know whether I can attach it here, but I will give it a go. Either that or I will post it as a new recipe!

You don't have to restrict yourself to Prawns/Shrimp - chicken, beef, turkey, pork - any meat or white fish will work well with this dish.
