Dinner 2018

[mgaretz]

Dinner tonight was pork chops, made like ShakeNBake, but I made my own breading out of pre-toasted panko, spices, salt and pepper.  Served with white corn on the cob, made with the husk-on microwave method and salad.

The pork chops look great, @mgaretz! As someone who has not been exposed to “Shake’n’Bake”: how does this differ from regular breading (flour, egg wash, seasoned bread crumbs) ? And I would assume by the name these are made in the oven rather than being fried - can you share your methodology ?

This is not Chinese fried rice. It was fried in China, but there the comparison endeth. This is liuzhou fried rice, and I don't mean the city. I mean me.

 

Yesterday, as documented on the China Shopping topic,  I picked up a couple of "some kind of mushroom*". I'm pretty sure some kind of Boletus, I'm now sure. Not boletus edulis, but a minor relation.

 

 

Minced some pork and briefly marinated it in Shaoxing wine with garlic, ginger and red chilli. Chopped on mushroom into fine dice and stir fried with the pork and then the rice. Simultaneously sliced half the other mushroom and pan-fried the slices until lightly browned. Finished the fried rice with some scallions and served.

Radish “sashimi” with ponzu dressing, cucumber pickle and tebasaki wings.

I spotted these perfectly sized fresh cod fillets yesterday while picking up some basil plants at a market near home. Fish and chips with a spicy kimchi tartar sauce went on the menu.

Truth be told, it is different every time I make it, but this time, it was about 5 dill pickle chips, diced, 3 slices of a small sweet onion, diced, about 4 TBS of kimchi, diced, to which I added enough mayo for a good consistency. I have found that this mixture improves with a little time in the fridge, even overnight.

I recently noticed a thread about this year's new cook books and ordered the Korean BBQ book and made Korean Beef Satay from it for dinner.

If that is a sauce on the side, what's in it?

Sure.  I took some panko, toasted it in a skillet until mostly golden.  Mixed it with some seasonings (I cheated and used McCormick's Montreal Poultry Rub), salt and pepper.  Put the moist pork chops in a baggie with the panko mixture and shake until well coated.  Then I cooked them on a rack in my countertop convection oven at 350F with convection for 20 minutes.  Didn't turn them.  Serve.

I had a raw portion of boneless chuck steak about an inch thick and as big as your average pot holder left from a chuck steak dinner the other night and decided to turn it into shredded beef for tacos last night. I put about a TBS each of chili, cumin, half as much kosher salt and garlic powder in a large bowl and thrashed the steak around in there, until it was well coated. I added a few bay leaves, a half a cup of beer and wrapped the thing up tightly in a foil pouch. This was put in the IPot on manual for 90 minutes, with a natural release that took some 45 minutes. It shredded beautifully, was perfectly seasoned and went into the tacos with pico de gallo and shredded Mexican cheese blend from Aldi.

Carnitas in the Instant Pot again, served with salad, refried beans and Spanish rice.  The rice was from a pouch - Uncle Ben's Ready Rice and was very good considering it only took 90 seconds to make.

@mgaretz

 

you've probably described his you make carnitas in the iPot

 

but Ive lost the link 

 

cook the pork shoulder cubes in the iPot , then broil or sauté until browned ?

[shain]

Got gifted a pretty (and tasty) challah bread.

I bought some overripe figs (I was surprised to find any at all). Broiled them and served with sour cream, basil and reduced Balsamic with anise, cinnamon and cardamom.

A salad of peas with feta, mint, almonds and honey vinaigrette.
