Dinner tonight, I'll concede, was a bit odd. I have a friend arriving tomorrow for a very long overdue reunion. Heading on 20 years. I know we are going to be eating out a lot, so I'm clearing the fridge.
But getting multi-cultural in the process.
An alliterative starter: Salmon Shashimi w Seaweed.
Followed very incongruously by what probably looks like a slapdash plate of ordinary Scottish mince and tatties. Nearly so. I plead guilty to the slap dash but not the ordinary. The mince was seasoned with Chinese flavours. Garlic, Ginger, Chilli, Shaoxing wine, Sichuan Peppercorn, Shanghai Worcestershire Sauce. Scottish?
This was served with some simple stir-fried cabbage which
a) I almost forgot to serve.
b) definitely forgot to photograph.
My stomach and the fridge are happy. My stomach full; the fridge emptier. Mission accomplished.
