when
you suppose of a burger what you need is a great sauce and a light hoarse
regale goes hand in glove with a great burger launch by finely mincingice
seasoning salt and pepper now the secret of a good barbecue sauce is that
really important caramelization to begin with a nice tablespoon of brown sugar
it darkens the onions but it really starts to sort of give that nice syrupy
body to the sauce and put a little bit of heat in there now a nice teaspoon of
smoked paprika that's the important part of working with spices you've got to
cook them out and almost sort of burn off that rawness especially with a smoked
paprika that's exactly where i want it to go onions and garlic beautifully
caramelized cider vinegar in reduce that down now i've got a fantastic smoky
base to complete the sauce i'm making my life really easy and adding pre-made
worcester sauce and tomato ketchup cook that out for two to three minutes now
depending on how thick you like the barbecue sauce that determines how long you
cook it out for i don't want it to be too runny but i don't want it too thick
either that's the consistency we're looking for lovely turn down the gas
charger seasoning now take that out it's the kind of sauce that i like to have
sort of bottled up in the fridge it's great for sandwiches but goes brilliantly
well with these sliders homemade smoky barbecue sauce give
the pan a little wipe now start the mix for the sliders to give my mix a really
interesting flavor and texture i'm gon na be using unsmoked back bacon i travel
each over the world and i spend a lot of time in the countries they know how to
make a great slider pork sliders beef sliders chicken sliders and it's almost
like a way of having a burger but on a much smaller miniature level a little
teaspoon of olive oil i want that bacon to get really nice and crispy bacon in
this just gives the really nice sort of chunky delicious mix i want texture and
pork is perfect for slider and choppy shallot shallots are a lot sweeter than your normal
white onion fine fine fine and in now that bacon's getting really nice and
crispy i want a bit of heat in there a little teaspoon of smoked paprika in there
when you see these sliders in the states for one portion there's like four or
five of them little mini one biters incredible now take your pork just open up
and give that a really nice seasoning so important you can't season a slider
after you've cooked it it's impossible so season it nicely bake it now that's
nice and crispy just take a little touch kitchen roll and just drain that off
there nice pat that nice and dry i want all that nice sort of crispiness in
there beautiful mix all that in take a nice ball and sort of roll it the size
of a golf ball get it nice and round first and then three fingers just pat that
down don't flatten them too thin otherwise they overcook and they go sort of
dry because sliders are bite-sized burgers designed to go in small buns you
don't want to make them too big good get the pan nice and hot tablespoon of
olive oil when a slider is literally that thick about an inch thick we're going
gonna take two and a half to three minutes to each side in turn them over
lovely once you've turned them tilt the pan and just spoon all that juice back
into them keep my mouth watering now very easy to dry the pork out so just
feeling it now your fingers is nice and firm it's a little touch of springiness
in the center i'm happy with those add your cheese now so it gets nicely melted
i'm using wedgies or smoked cheddar and it has that nice sort of soury smoky
creaminess to the slider finally shredded baby gem lettuce just take those buns
make sure they're sliced nice and evenly take your lettuce be quite generous
with the lettuce just a nice thin slice of tomato take your burgers you see
that cheese you feed melted your bbq sauce place the top on and that is my
version the slider that is small dynamic but packed full of flavour i'll take that
over a hamburger any day first off get that pan really nice and hot
these are sirloin steaks sear it in the pan with all that fat on i'll add
flavor salt and pepper couple tablespoons of olive oil in pan nice and hot hold
up the steak and lay it in always lay away give the pan a little shake and it
stops the steak from sticking we're looking for color and if it sticks it's
gonna burn while the steaks are cooking i can get on with
my super quick marinade now two tablespoons of misood paste that's a fermented
soybean that gives a really nice sort of rich sweetness tablespoon of sugar a
couple of tablespoons rice wine that gives it a really nice vinegary kick a
couple of tablespoons of olive oil salt and pepper i'm looking for a nice sort
of thick rich marinade marinade done it's time to turn the steaks sort the pan
and to give the steak a little base all we're doing every time is just adding
more and more flavor take your tongs and sort of lift the steak on its back and
really melt all that fat down offer the gas take them out just take your knife
it's all that fat there just slice that off i don't want any of that now in to
the marinade beautiful tacos are one of mexico's most
popular street foods they've been made from beef pork chicken or fish and are
loaded up with amazing sauces and spices now i want something sort of pickly
cabbage these are um chinese cabbages slice it in half and look at it really
crisp and really tasty we're gonna slice that into quarters and then just shred
it and take your time you think of cabbage hair and you think of sort of
braised overcooked cabbage nothing worse but at a taco you want freshness a
little season chili flakes they sort of discreetly give it a little bit of heat
a little touch of rice wine vinegar if you haven't got that fresh lemon juice a
small drop of toasted sesame seed oil give that a really good mix now i need
something to sort of bring it together we take some wasabi paste very hot very
spicy a sort of thumbnail size i'm gonna mix and that couple of tablespoons of
mayonnaise and give that a really good mix these are basic corn tortilla the
trick is to sort of color them and also shape them actually place it on the gas
ring use some tongs so it’s not to burn yourself you can also toast your tacos
in a frying visage from there i am just gon na place it on the rolling leg
literally 30 seconds as it cools down the great thinut serving tacos is people
can fill them themselves just the way they want them cabbage just squeeze out
wet marinade a nice rustic little mountain mayonnaise on wait you see how soft
and delicious and almost sort of melting in the mouth texture we've got on this
amazing sirloin it's look at that really nice sear around the outside it's just
nice and pink in the middle start off with my crispy shell back of the spoon
with the wasabi mayonnaise inside taco and just sprinkle that delicious pickled
cabbage and then just start lining my taco three or four slices touch more on
my spicy layer and that is how i'd make the perfect attacker just
open up and drain the tuna into a sieve just smoothly slip that do not press it
too hard else you will dry out the tuna now these are water homilies just slice
them nice and thin you can buy them anywhere any supermarket chestnuts and
fresh ginger get rid of that rough skin on the outside by grating the ginger
you get to get all that really nice sort of juice in take your spring onions
and just slice on an angle i like the texture of the water chestnut with a
spring onion or touch of fresh coriander lovely next remove the seeds from a
chili to reduce its heat without losing any flavor and finely chop chilies in
kaffir lime leaves roll them up nice and tight run your cutter down the center
formerly and just hash and that makes the fish cutlet nice and ambrosial touch
of swab a touch of pepper fish sauce just smoothly season the tuna to bind all
those wonderful ingredients two whole eggs and give that a nice little whisk
and then add your eggs get your hands in there and start mixing get the mixture
roll it and hand the hand into the palm pat them down nicely to cook add a
little ground oil to a hot pan at the face of a timepiece i am going to go from
12 all the way around first one in these fish galettes only take a many
twinkles to cook so keeping track of the order they go in the pan means you
know which one to turn first to the pad a nice gentle little shake make
sure that nothing's sticking to the bottom spatula two fingers on top turn them
over beautiful that crackling noise is something you always want because the
tune's already cooked so we're just lightly frying them we get a nice crisp
outside and gently take them out smell incredible let them sit there we're
gonna make a really nice delicious simple dipping sauce start off a little
pinch of sugar fish sauce two tablespoons that gives it the saltiness one
tablespoon of rice wine vinegar and some fresh lime juice squeeze all that lime
in there your fresh coriander lots of coriander and then give that a little mix
and then you have the most amazing spicy tuna fish cakes who would have thought
something as delicious as that can come out of a can a simple supper in minutes
that's so mouth-wateringly easy and delicious you're guaranteed to cook it
again and again you.
