What did I cook this weekend.....

[S-Met]

Roasting some hatch chilies

Then chicken molé for dinner.

 

[TwistedGray]

Peppers (homegrown - hands are on fire, regrets), onion, and sausage with shrooms and a salad...simple enough

 

[Brewbuzzard]

I finally learned to make my brioche bread soft and fluffy. I found a young girl on youtube that teaches baking and she really has it together. Check out June at Delish.

Oh that looks heavenly @Brewbuzzard

HBC is having our fest, this cooked down a lot, so I hope it will be enough.

Filet mignon (on the bbq), caramelized onion, beans, and macaroni salad.

Frog legs, BBQ chicken, fried okra and rice. Mmmmmmmm!

Issan (NE Thailand) style 'laap moo' (roughly translates to 'finely chopped pork') lettuce wraps.

Ground pork, dried ground chiles, fish sauce, key lime juice, a hint of sugar, toasted sweet rice powder....tossed in red onion, shredded carrot & cabbage, mint, and green onion. Topped with a bit of fermented thai chile hot sauce.

One of these legs is not like the others, one of these legs just doesn't belong.

Thanks for the first laugh of the day.

Yesterday..first go at making char sui, w/the intention of making baked char sui bao! We made steamed ones too, but they're definitely not worth showing off. That and they disappeared super quick.

Char siu never lasts long around here. I use boneless country style ribs mostly because they are sorta cheap and easy. Riblets are good too using the same method. Its a real trick to get that nice red color without dye.

The secret is red ferment bean curd, sugar and the right soy sauce. Then you have to get the heat just right. That is the authentic recipe but even those vary quite a bit. Strictly Dumplings on Youtube had a great recipe but there are many ways to do it. One way is to use sugar on the pork before using any liquids. The sugar will penetrate into the meat a little if you let it rest long enough.

Its great for boneless skinless chicken thighs too.

Smoked an 8lb pork shoulder and turkey wings.

I tried some of that pork "floss" the other day in plain cooked beans and in some tonkotsu ramen. Very interesting way to add a flavor boost. One of our Costcos just started stocking it for just under $10/lb. 28 grams of it is only 280mg sodium.

Pretty interesting, eh?

Cantonese-style soy sauce shrimp with rice and steamed broccoli.

The keys to the sauce are mixing in a little bit of dark soy and butter so it creates a more viscous sauce.

I think my favorite part about Taco Nite is knowing that I get to make taco salad with the leftovers the next day.

PS: That jalapeno shouldn't be classified 'leftovers' with the rest as I plucked that beauty off my front porch garden on the way out this morning! I'm planning on expanding my garden in the backyard next year but I think I'll keep some peppers on the porch.

 

[S-Met]

Sockeye and Ahi poke

 

[TwistedGray]

[user 211287]

Ground turkey curry using Mae Ploy panang paste, coconut milk, bone broth, dried potato, water chestnut, shallots, onion and garlic. Spicy Turkish bells and no heat habanada for the peppers. Dusted the top with some Aleppo pepper and home grown laksa leaves. Jasmine rice this time.

I used the last of my smoked shoulder pulled pork to make a barbecue pizza today. Proofed some home-made dough. Then, made a 16 inch thin crust with homemade barbecue sauce as a base, onions, red bell peppers, pulled pork, mozzarella, and cheddar cheese. Topped it with some garlic fermented honey at the end!

 

[beermanpete]

Bacon, omlete and blueberry pancakes.

New recipe, we are calling them Kielbasa Poppers - 1" thick slice of kielbasa, wrapped with thick-cut bacon, 1 nacho jalapeno slice in the bottom, topped with a cheese mixture of cream cheese, sour cream, shredded extra-sharp cheddar, minced green onion, Worcestershire sauce, seasonings. Baked in the air fryer for about 25 minutes total. Boy they are yummy!! Forgot to take an "after" picture but here's the "before" anyway!

 

[bob1852]

Pretzel bites and jalapeno cheese sauce.
