K is for Ki Si Ming

These recipes are in my mother's handwriting and are housed in a battered, blue plastic folder. They are transcribed here as part of the A-Z Challenge 2019. Each day in April a new letter of the alphabet and accompanying recipes are posted.

The dish with two names

Mutton was a staple meat on our menu as the older sheep were killed for consumption. Mum never wasted a scrap of meat, it was all scraped from the bones and put through the hand turned mincer. This recipe used that mince with added vegetables and rice.
