Dinner 2018

[liuzhou]

Somewhat unusually, I cooked dinner tonight for three young guests - sisters.

 

Hunan style cumin beef (湖南式孜然牛肉)

 

Sweet and Sour Ribs (糖醋排骨)

 

Clams steamed in Shaoxing wine with garlic and black salt fermented beans (豆豉)

 

Thai red chicken curry

Fresh straw mushrooms steamed with garlic, olive oil and water.

 

 

While the three sisters declared themselves happy with all the dishes, their runaway favourite was the mushrooms which tasted better than my unappealing photograph shows. Four people, five dishes plus rice. The formula for Chinese eating. One more dish than participants.

Dieting or starving?   That’s some will power or is it won’t power?

I think I'd leave out the roll and keep the fries!

Breakfast for dinner:

Bacon, Cheddar and Mozzarella omelet and hash browns.

[scubadoo97]

More fresh local fish.   Amberjack with sides of "left over" collards, slivered snow peas and more corn bread.  

 

 

[Anna N]

 

Scattered sushi based on a recipe from Japanese Homestyle Cooking.  Seasoned vegetables, shredded omelet and shrimp. 

[BonVivant]

 

Clams whenever possible.

 

 

 

A local restaurant at a night market. Much respect for their immense patience and kindness for us tourists. Filling out a form to order is the usual procedure but they let me do it another way.
