Instead, he replicated the condiment with some adjustments to the Japanese palette. Back when Chen Kenmin arrived in Japan, dou ban jiang (chili bean sauce), a cornerstone of the taste of his hometown, could not be imported. This restaurant chain based in Tokyo was founded by Chen Kenmin in 1958 and passed down to Chen Kenichi.Īfter years of working in kitchens around China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, Chen Kenmin arrived in Japan in 1952. There are also a couple of asian grocery stores on that road that you could pop in to.Chen Kenmin was born in 1919 in a deep part of Szechuan Province and at age 10, he began his career as a cook, according to the website of Shisen Hanten. Maybe pick up some cuticle scissors or an industrial sized burner while you’re at it. Your friend might want to give it a go if she hasn’t already got a favourite brownie recipe.Īnd yes, you should check out Leung Tim Choppers – buy a knife or two – they aren’t expensive.

Also finding it rather tragic when going out with her to see most restaurants can’t be bothered to find out what gluten free means and watching her eat her gluten “safe” salads (no dressing, lettuce, tomato and some other bland vegetable) and be expected to pay the cost of a main meal.Īre you still gluten free in solidarity? This recipe is very very good. Discovering that almond meal is pretty damn amazing when it comes to marrying it with chocolate. Goodness, I have to go and visit and see for myself! Interesting about what the gluten free stuff, one of the girls at work was diagnosed last year and we all ended up joining the journey towards a flourless world. And check out Myriam’s BrownieBabe event for more Brownie goodness – gluten-free or otherwise! The only slight change I made was to use gluten-free plain flour (readily available at supermarkets) instead of the specified brown rice flour (which I thought might be harder to find).
If you want to try it for yourself, you can find the recipe here. It’s quite close to my favourite (non gluten-free) brownie recipe which also uses brown sugar for that extra depth in flavour and wonderfully moist texture. Is it even possible for chocolate brownies to be gluten-free? Don’t they need that tiny bit of flour in them to hold everything together? Then I stumbled across a recipe by Karina over at Gluten-free Goddess that was written up so enthusiastically that I just had to give it a go. I have been instructed to make some gluten-free chocolate brownies for a special event. The watermelon cleaver will come in handy this week. I’m not sure what it’s for, but it looks like a windowless spaceshuttle. There’s a whisk in the display window that’s just about my height and a big metal cooking vessel sits outside the entrance to the shop. From chopping boards the size of tree trunks and steamer baskets so big you could sleep in them, to nicknacks like an onion slicer and corn cutter. At first glance it looks too ridiculously big, but we found it immensely useful in the previous kitchen I worked in, and the knife belonged to A, so I thought it was about time I bought one for myself.Īside from knives, they also have a wide range of restaurant grade utensils. The two knives I pick, are an every day household cleaver (not too big, not too heavy, and very very sharp) and a ‘watermelon’ cleaver – one that is long enough to deal with large, unwieldy melons, or in my case, large baked tarts and slices. She passes on a few little handy tips about the knives we’ve just bought. Forged from different steels into different lengths and widths, they have cleavers for just about any job, including cutting grass! Also, the wonderful lady behind the counter is incredibly nice and friendly.
They have a whole wall spanning the length of the shop, devoted to all kinds of cleavers (as well as smaller display cases for Japanese and German branded knives). Leung Tim Choppers in Burwood is just the place to visit if you want to buy a chopper. I mean, have you seen the fine and intricate work Chen Kenichi can do with a bear-claw of a cleaver on Iron Chef? It’s not really something I envisage myself using on a daily basis but I can see it coming in handy every now and again. Ever since I put a dent in my Global knife, trying to open a deceptively simple looking coconut, many months ago.
They do say a way to a man’s heart is via his stomach!įiled alongside ‘wok’ and ‘ice-cream machine’, a cleaver is something I’ve always wanted to get. Pathetically grateful after a successful shopping trip I had grumbled all the way to, I later bought him a pork bun and a ham/shallot bun from a nearby bakery. He hauled my sleepy ass out of bed today, to drive me all the way to Burwood so that I could finally buy myself a cleaver.
