Station One

Food

Carp Crackers with a native spice seasoning. Prawn crackers are the classic starter to any Chinese meal. They whet the appetite, they have an excellent texture without filling you up, like eating air. Ours are made using carp, which is a prolific pest of the Lachlan River - the best way to deal with it is to eat it! Seasoned with pepper berry, bush tomato, Illlawara/Davidson plum powder. 

 

Catered by Eat Your Greens, Eugowra NSW.

Ants Crawling on Trees draws inspiration from two classic Chinese dishes. A  simple but hearty dish made with rice vermicelli and minced meat - the noodles representing the tree branches and the mince representing the ants, much like the river red gums along the Lachlan River.
