So I've been lurking in the dinner thread for a long time, and finally have some pictures I'm proud enough of to post. Last night I used up some of the Thanksgiving leftovers by making Turkey Tetrazzini (yet managed to produce even more leftovers). Tonight, inspired by a trip to the local asian grocery store (Uwajimaya, for you northwesterners), I made potstickers (first time for me!) and Tom Kha (Thai lemongrass and coconut soup). It was all really good, but I screwed up and left the lemongrass out of the soup (facepalm). I made it better with some lemon zest and lime juice, but it just wasn't as good as it should have been. Potstickers Step One. Turn this: into this: Step Two. Mix w/egg, Worcestershire, sesame oil, salt, pepper, egg, etc. Step Three. Make Dumplings Step Four. Make dipping sauce. I should have done this hours earlier to let everything mellow out and blend. It's chili flakes, fresh ginger, garlic, scallions, soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar and sesame oil. Step Five. Steam-Fry. Step Six. Gorge Self. And a few of the Tom Kha. Note the absence of lemongrass. I used monkfish as the meat and the fish was incredible.
