    Dinner 2020

    I'm either going to die from Coronavirus or boredom, whichever arrives first, so decided to forget healthy! Breaded chicken with chips and tomatoes. I cooked and ate this or similar last week too I think, but enjoyed it, so why not do it again?

    Breakfast 2020!

    I know I've posted versions and variations of this before, and there was never anything very exciting about it, but there is a slight twist here. Normally, I use duck eggs, but my favourite duck egg vendor is hiding at home during these strange times, so these are chicken eggs. Soft boiled with flatbread.

    Dinner 2020

    Meatballs in tomato sauce with orzo. Balls were pork, breadcrumbs and capers. Sauce was white onion, red chilli, green chilli and tomatoes. Orzo was Orzo. Or Orzi.
  8. Simple pile of chips with sea salt. Just what I needed.
  9. There is also a good list of Vietnamese restaurant menu dishes here from Andrea Nguyen. No audio, though.

    Lunch 2020

    Pork and garlic chive dumplings (饺子 - jiǎo zi). Soy sauce, Zhenjiang vinegar and chilli dip.
  11. With apologies to anyone who does have a food allergy.
  12. Saigon Siblings in cooperation with Andrea Nguyen have compiled a useful glossary of Vietnamese food expressions. Sound samples are included for pronunciation.
  13. Often, but not always. In fact many are moving away from that in the cities (where 80% of the population live). McDonalds, KFC and Chinese equivalents are everywhere! Every supermarket has olive oil. Yoghurt and milk tea are hugely popular. I think your view of Chinese habits is somewhat out of date.

    Dinner 2020

    Chicken livers with garlic, chilli, ginger, Shaoxing wine, mushrooms and scallions. With orzo.
  17. Yes. Wholemeal flour is what is known in the US as whole wheat flour. And yes you can use white flours as substitutes for all or part of the wholmeal flour. As I recall the Guardian article used by @blue_dolphinsays this, but also suggests the taste will be different.
  18. They are very addictive.

    Fried rice with pork, garlic, green chillies, red chillies, garlic, ginger, Chinese chives, Shaoxing wine. Note lack of egg and definitely no soy sauce!
  21. Interesting read about bread and bread books.
  22. I remember fresh lemon. Never orange.
  23. Every day!
