I inadvertently tried to poison my family this evening. Epic cooking fail. Tonight's menu was stir fried crispy sesame beef. I have made this before using chicken and it is fabulous. Massive fanny to make involving dipping in cornflour, egg wash, and then in seasoned flour. I found a method of tenderising the beef called velveting which involved bicarb I read put the bicarb on the beef for 30 minutes. Duly chucked a load of bicarb on the beef. Shook it off after 30 minutes. All good so far. Cooked it. Clue 1 that something was amiss was the oil started frothing. Clue 2 the crispy sesame beef tasted of bicarb and only bicarb. Revisited the velveting technique. I had neglected to read the bit about dissolving a small amount of bicarb in water first! You are not just supposed to roll your beef in raw bicarb. We ordered a takeaway! On the plus side, the beef was tender.. but bicarb flavoured.

Bicarb could become a new swear word.
 
Nice little shout out in Endeavour...or is it an Easter egg?
The Inspector reassures a shocked police woman, gives her a smoke, says keep the packet, says put them behind your note book, nobody will spot them...its a trick my old guvnor taught me, Sgt. VIMES of Cable St.
