Recently Consumed

So here's the latest of edition of stuff that I made at home….though as you'll soon see, some of it, I didn't eat.

Remember that suan cai we made? Well other than eating it raw….it turned out so well that the Missus just eats it raw, which is probably better for you. Anyway, here's some Chao Suan Cai.

Made this with lamb, mixed with a touch of wine, a tiny bit of grated ginger, and white pepper. Stir fried, with some of that flavor of the wok……this was very good.

Speaking of lamb, here's some Zi Ran Yang Rou I recently made. Notice that I forgot something?

Yep, I forgot to buy cilantro…..anyway, the key to this is letting the lamb marinate in your seasonings for at least 10 minutes before the stir fry. In spite of the missing herb, the Missus said this was the best I've made.

A couple of weeks back, the Missus had a pot luck at work. She organized it, with the theme being something from your ethnic heritage…..so She immediately has me make…..

Japchae?

And gravlax????

Does She have some other husband(s) stashed away somewhere??? Talk about an identity crisis….

And who rolls out of bed on a Sunday morning at 10am and tells you She wants something "Red Cooked"???

Or smoked chicken for that matter……

Well at least thighs are a rather quick solution either way…….

Man, I need a raise, or at least another beer…..

I hope you're having a great week!
