5 egg bacon mushroom and cheese omelet.

What's the point of five ? That leaves a egg in the box.The whole point of omlettes is to use all eggs so you can get up in the morning to
"which selfish #$@t has eaten all the eggs and put the box back ! "

My omelette my rules.

Who ever heard of eggs being sold in six packs anyway?

I'm surprised your chef hasn't got cooking in a Wok off pat by now, I cook most Chinese food at home with the exceptions being battered Pork/Chicken/Prawn 'balls', Spring Rolls or Wonton/Dumplings which I buy from a really good takeaway (Wans Garden on Glenfield Rd East) The ingredients are pretty easy to source in Leicester with the advantage of no 'Seasonall' (Monosodium Glutamate*) added.

* Monosodium Glutomate put my Mum in Hospital once, she ate a Chinese takeaway and later thought she was having a heart attack, cue Ambulance and a night in A&E before they discovered that she was suffering from MG poisoning.

Oh, I make battered pork and prawn balls and spring rolls. Though the latter I'm more likely to do in the oven. Plus thanks to the Hairy Bikers I make my own sweet & sour sauce and thanks to CC I also now make chinese curry sauce.

Actually, if you can get your mitts on a copy, "Cooking and Eating in Chinese" published by Penguin has some fabby authentic recipes. The best red cooked pork and egg fried rice ever.

Also in lockdown I've taught myself to make bhajis and naan bread to go with my curries.

A former housemate of mine (and still a good friend) is a Venezuelan guy who is half Chinese, he taught me how to use a Wok and the secret of Chinese flavouring ( Ginger, Garlic and Scallions)

Yep... Plus using lard rather than oil to fry.

This Penguin book is from the 1950s, written by a chinese lady. She says anything can be used to taste chinese, you just need to cook it right. The only thing I do is cut back on the salt, because some of the dishes are, to the modern palate, very salty...
