Dinner! 2011

[Hassouni]

Made a variation on this kale, sausage and potato soup from Serious Eats. I added some sliced fennel to the onions, as well as some gochugaru, and used sliced fingerlings. Really, really good!

A few from the other night.

12 hour pork belly, pomegranate-sherry glaze and parsnip.

Is there anyway we could get more details about that 12 hour pork belly? It looks and sounds amazingly good.

[ScottyBoy]

Cured for 8 hours in equal parts sugar and salt. Cooked sous vide at 165 for 12 hours, seared in a cast iron pan... It was good, very good.

Snow was predicated for last night and today. None last night, but today's just beginning. In preparation, I made Hot'n'Sour soup last night for supper.

Good stuff that. I have all the ingredients set to go for a huge batch too but lack the tofu which we'll pick up in the city tomorrow.

Your soup is much paler than our recipe. I'd be interested in your recipe.

Manitoba. Hmmm....No snow here in our corner of Ontario. Please. Please. Please.

Thanks!

Darienne: I just used chicken stock, water, vinegar, and Koon Yick Wah Kee chili sauce. If I added more chili sauce or had char siu to add, it might be a little redder.

Many recipes call for black or white pepper instead of the chili sauce, but I have always used this. I suppose pepper would be cheaper, but the flavour is different. I trained my former customners to this taste, and 10 years later, they still complain they can't get Hot'n'Sour soup like mine.

Yeah, I'm actually going to start complaining that I can't find any Hot'n'Sour soup like yours, too. That looks fantastic! Warmed me up just looking at it ...

Agree on that. I imagine what will be the table look like when they're done cooking. I bet it will be awesome!

[avaserfi]

Inspired by some of the great food I've seen in this thread and somewhere between lunch and dinner I made a couple of these as a planned snack. I've had the idea for a while and wanted to give it a go.

The center is a 'nest' of dehydrated enoki and rousong with a 62C quail egg, crispy duck tongue and truffle salt. Surrounding the nest is charred bunapi and marinated shimeji mushrooms along with some shiitake puree.

That is a work of art!

[ScottyBoy]

Beautiful dude!

I'm willing to cook anywhere is there's a paid flight involved

Thanks everyone! ScottyBoy's postings have been a real inspiration for my plating. I also wanted a little of the whimsy that is so common in dcarch platting too.

Crispy Potatoes with Country Ham... I'm in love with duck fat ;-)

Lovely comfort food. Do you render your own duck fat?

[ddelima]

This one was store bought but I plan on doing that next time. Relatively easy and will perfume my house...

Stir-fried curry beef with green beans. Red curry paste, garlic, red bell peppers, Anaheim and serrano chiles, white pepper, brown sugar, and fish sauce. Served with jasmine rice, eternal cucumbers, and iceberg lettuce to wrap everything into spicy, crunchy morsels.

I am learning a new computer, so this is mainly an excuse to test the new software.

[ScottyBoy]

Arg, so hungry! I shouldn't come into this thread at dinner time...

[threestars]

C. sapidus made me so hungry right now! I'm craving for that now!

[Hassouni]

Some awesome chicken soup made from this:

broth ladled out over a sweated mirepoix with leeks added, some chopped turnips and kabocha thrown in, then some noodles and celery leaves. Delicious!
