Friends and Food a good mix

July 30th 2008 03:28
In Australia we're on our last month of Winter, the home stretch but also the coldest month. Often on a cold and wet day, we just don't feel like going out or doing much cooking. So if that's the case, check what fresh food you have in the fridge and throw it all together to create a delicious Steam Boat meal.

It doesn't take much time to get steam boat going, even with plain boiling water the food still tastes good. But the secret to a good steam boat is the stock. To make a good stock depends on what type of meat you like, such as chicken or beef stock. For a good chicken stock, buy some chicken bones from the butchers and boil them lightly to get rid of any bad substances. With some fresh new water in the pot, put the bones in and allow it to boil. You can season the stock with salt and onions and adjust the flavour if necessary. Once you bring it to a boil, reduce the heat and allow to simmer for a few hours. Every so often you will need to skim the top of the pot to get rid of all the fat, and scum.


Now for the rest of the Steam Boat all you need is a portable gas stove and the nice chicken stock you've made and let it boil slowly as you gather all those fresh ingredients you want to eat. Call a few friends over and you're going to have a blast. .
