1/2 inch fresh ginger, grated
1 small egg or 1 large egg yolk
2 tsp cornstarch
2 tsp soy sauce
1 /2 cup green onion, thinly sliced

METHOD:

1. In a large bowl, prepare the wonton filling by mixing the ground pork, Rick's Rub™ Asian seasoning, ginger, egg, cornstarch, soy sauce, and green onion by hand until the filling is smooth and paste-like.
2. Once mixed, allow the wonton filling to rest for 30 mins.

​When it's cold and dreary, or you're just trying to clear out some fridge space, make the ultimate comfort food: Shepherd's Pie!







INGREDIENTS:
1lb ground beef
1 onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 celery ribs, diced
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
2 mushrooms, diced
3-4 cloves garlic, diced
​1 tbsp Rick's Rub™ Original
1 can condensed mushroom soup 
2-3 large potatoes
butter
milk

METHOD:

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté ground beef until just a bit of pink left. Drain fat, then add onions to skillet to sauté until transparent. Add carrots, celery, yellow bell pepper, mushrooms and Rick's Rub™ Original seasoning to skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, being careful not to burn. 
2. Turn heat on skillet to medium low and add can of condensed mushroom soup and 1/2 can of water. Stir to combine and allow to simmer.
3. In a large sauce pot, prepare the mashed potato topping by boiling potatoes until fork-tender. Once cooked, drain water and mash potatoes with butter and milk until desired consistency.
4. Preheat oven to 375F.
5. In an oven safe casserole dish, transfer beef filling and spread evenly. Carefully layer mashed potatoes on top of beef mixture and spread evenly to 1/2 inch from the edge of the dish. This gap will help keep the filling from overflowing onto the potatoes.
6. Once the potato is spread evenly, place a few small pats of butter on top of the potatoes to help brown in the oven. Chef's Tip: sprinkle shredded parmesan cheese over potatoes for added texture and flavour!
7. Place casserole dish in the center of the oven and bake until potatoes have browned slightly.

Serve hot and enjoy with a side salad.
