Soy Braised Leek & Bacon

How to make it

1. Choose a fry pan or wok that has a lid (for use on stove top) and can go into the oven under the grill (without the lid). Over a medium to high heat, cook bacon and chop into fine pieces, then set aside.

2. In the same pan, add oil and butter, sauté garlic, and half the thyme, then add leeks and cook for a couple of minutes on each side, allowing them to caramelise.

3. Add Shaoxing wine to deglaze the pan, then pepper and Premium Soy Sauce. Bring to a simmer and cover. Reduce heat and cook for about 25 minutes or until tender and most of the liquid is evaporated.

4. Remove from the heat and sprinkle bacon over the top. Then as an option, grate Parmesan over the top and heat under a hot grill until the cheese melts and becomes golden.

5. Drizzle with Pure Sesame Oil and serve with meat or seafood.

6. Vegetarian Option – Substitute bacon for mushrooms!
