What is on top of the salad??

Spiced ground meat

[huiray]

Chicken broth (fresh batch) w/ both Chinese celery & Western celery simmered in (a portion of) it.

Picked-out dark meat & skin from selected pieces of the chopped-up stewing chickens used for the stock were added in.

One of the nicest and most satisfying bowls of chicken soup I've had in a while.

 

Cantonese roast duck [Asia Mart] w/ rice; the bean sauce accompanying the duck was poured over the rice.

 

Baby kai-lan blanched in oiled simmering water, dressed with a nice sauce mix & ground white pepper.

Brisket, slow braised for 6 hours in chu hou sauce (sort of less sweet hoi sin), star anise, cinnamon and dried tangerine peel, with bok choy and egg noodles.

Needed fried chicken again.  Please excuse the missing skin on one piece.  I picked it off and ate it.

"Melted" some garlic and anchovies in olive oil then blistered some cherries tomatoes and added a little cream. Served over zoodles with some crispy bacon pieces and some shaved Parmesan.

Soup.

Fresh chicken stock, unpeeled straw mushrooms [Asian Taste], simmer; trimmed Thai basil (used as a vegetable) wilted in & simmered less than a minute more.

Steak from the Kamado Joe from a couple of weeks ago, with crispy chips and frozen peas. Yummy!

 

 

Another barbecue adventure from Saturday night. Spatchcocked poussin with zatar and spicy oil on a bed of bay leaves (3 mins breast down at 200 degrees then about 12 mins). Salad is inspired by a simple and delicious pear, feta, lettuce and vinaigrette salad I had in Botswana the other week, with rocket, pomegranate seeds and a pomegranate citrus vinaigrette. It ate well, but needed more of the sharpness of the feta. I think the simpler one was better!

Eating light again.  Shrimp with avocado, pickled watermelon rind, cherry tomatoes, celery, carrots, red bell pepper and compressed watermelon.

Every single meal is nice on this page alone.

 

Mine is 2 different things as I don't eat leeks/spring onions/Chinese chives. My partner stir fried the pork belly with the Chinese chives whilst I put the ceviche together. Both dishes took very little time.

I was tired last night, so threw together this simple dinner. 

 

Spicy wild prawns (bought live) with white wine, garlic, ginger, and Chinese chives. Served with linguine.

 

 

[sartoric]

Dinner last night was veal scallopine in a white wine and caper sauce.

Served with mash potato, fennel gratin and garlic green beans.

 

I coat these in seasoned flour and flash fry. The pan is deglazed with white wine, add capers and sizzle. Add the meat back, and the sauce will thicken.

 

The fennel gratin.

 

The plate.

I am an addictive liker. I just love seeing what other people are eating. Apologies for nosiness, I guess, but I am not that apologetic unless the food calls for resting in shade or something.

 

I love the cultural smorgasbord that is our meals here.

[liamsaunt]

Teriyaki glazed salmon with stir fried vegetables (red and yellow bell peppers, bok choy, oyster mushrooms, zucchini, summer squash and red onions), with rice

 

[liuzhou]

Chicken curry with coriander leaf/cilantro. Home made yoghurt. Home made spicy mango relish, Steamed rice.

 

Beer (not pictured).

Spaghetti night

Awesome meals everyone.

 

With 2 young boys (3 y/o & 10 months) our ability to dine out has greatly diminished, though not due to lack of desire.

 

As such, with more meals at home, my propensity to splurge on high quality ingredients has also increased.

 

The fact remains however that your contributions tremendously boost my creative nature and offer ideas and innovations - for example;

 

Last night, after seeing one of RRO's posts re: her recent noodle indulgence, I created a riff; and took Udon noodles, made a Dashi broth, compounded with an peeking duck stock - and created a 'flavour boost' sauce to dip the noodles into, consisting of: Black vinegar, light soy, brown sugar, star anice, orange peel, black pepper, black bean paste, black pepper, Ancho chili oil and some Vietnamese coriander.  Absolutely killer, and not something I would have thought of without the inspiration from you folks.

 

Kudos to you all.

Dinner last night was burgers.  First time I have made them sous vide.  I didn't pre-season them at all and they were in the bath at 130F for about 2.5 hours, then seared with a torch.   They came out great.  Served on homemade whole wheat buns with sesame seeds, lettuce, pickles and homemade thousand island dressing.

We also had chicken curry last night with green beans. I made the Thai red curry paste on the weekend. 

Served with rice.

Inspired by @scubadoo97's hummus bil lahme.  Middle eastern spiced ground meat and onions over a baked potato with a simple salad.
