@Dante - A valiant effort (and something I would never attempt, so I offer this feedback with full disclosure of such!)

 

I have eaten many soup dumplings, even from the famous Ding Tai Fung - and I would suggest trying to get your crimp at the top of the dumpling to increase the odds of soup retention -

Not sure what (if any) accompaniment you serve it with, but I would recommend either Chinese black (or pink) vinegar with julienne of ginger.

 

 

 

Thank you!   I really should try making them more bao-like next time, for ease of retention, as you mentioned.  I'll have to ask my neighbor for advice. She runs the local dumpling delivery/catering/subscription business.  

 

I served mine with black vinegar with grated ginger and sliced scallions. I should have mentioned that.

Tonight's dinner: home made pulled pork with home-made bbq sauce, over grits. Aka, what I had laying around that I could make a meal out of.

I laugh, but I don't laugh.

Maccheroni quadrifoglio with walnut* sauce.  Joy of Pasta (p185).  Quadrifoglio is notoriously difficult to shape and some pieces split.  Taste was not affected.

 

Quadrifoglio tossed with butter and then tossed in a sauce of walnuts, cream, thyme, cinnamon, and parmesan.

 

 

 

*in this case, nuts.com red walnuts.  My doctor tells me to eat nuts.

Comfort Food or Practising bulking out quarantine meals? 🤔 Both works 😀

 

Toad in the hole. Toads making a run for it. With Gravy & Veg.

Had friends over the other night.    Made fish cakes from steelhead and barramundi portions along with roasted vegetables and salad

Olives & prosciutto

 

Duvel, those pizzas! Is the prosciutto added *after* the pizza has come out of the oven?

Yup, after. It is very thinly shaved and quite delicate, almost sweet conpared to the rest of the pizza ...

[TdeV]

@scubadoo97, tricky. Does that collection have pickles in it?

[rotuts]

Ive always thought Raw prosciutto is better than

 

cooked .   although cooked is still quite good.

 

I like @Duvel technique.

obviously before roasting

Pulled pork hash with the last of the leftovers. Pork, sweet potato (actually golden yam), onion, peas, bbq sauce.

 

 

[Duvel]

Pulled pork (24h @ 65oC, bbq rub, liquid smoke) with coleslaw on a simple bread roll ...

Nothing exciting.  Almost the last of the sliced chicken breast from last week's rotissiere chicken. The rest of the chicken will go into a curry tomorrow night. Carcass is in the IP making stock as we speak. Mashed potatoes, peas.

 

 

I'm feeling the urge to bake...something. Something sweet, I think.

Super looking peas.    Want!

Fresh cheese, tomato pesto

 

Disappointing baked crusted chicken thigh marinated in mayo/hot sauce/panko,   Not BAD, but nothing to repeat

Oh goodness this reminds me of a Japanese market I used to go to regularly (Hawaiian influenced) At the beautiful fish counter they had some sample recipes and mayo slathered and broiled was always in the mix.  And now we are Momofuku Kewpie based dressing chanting praise. Interesting.  Is there a mayo board like dairy etc?

and Im tossing an extra ""  trophy ""

Thank you, rotuts!
                                       

  I love beansprouts! Stir-fried with green onions, bell pepper, and ginger and topped with shrimp

 

                                                                       

Social distancing requires comfort food! Chicken thighs steamed with shitaki mushrooms, lap cheong, ginger, and oyster sauce. Hubby found the broccoli still too firm - more for me!

Leftover sweet potato, leftover Rancho Gordo Moro beans (leftover four times), stale bread (as in really stale).  Provolone cheese and salami purchased for work lunches, but work is not a thing that's happening.

 

My father grew up in Indian territory in the last century century before last, sorry.  As he used to tell me:  "Willful waste makes woeful want."  And sweet potato reheated in the CSO is not half bad.

 

Speaking of beans, it's amazing how Scanpan non-stick cookware cleans right up.

Get a touch of water in the palm of your hand, rub it over the bread, bread in foil loosely encased, toaster oven or whatever. Remarkable. CPR for stale bread. At least for me for many many years.

This was beyond CPR.  CPR performed three times.  Poolish proofing for fresh bread tonight.

I am not much of a fan of pulled pork but when you put a fried egg on top of it in the breakfast thread you won me over.

I find there is a sweet spot for broccoli and yours looks like it hit that spot. I’m happy to take hubby’s portion off your hands. But it sounds like it might be a fight!

 

Your meals almost always make my mouth water.

'Fried Rice' Mush. 

I was feeling all pleased with my pantry basic practise, bacon from freezer, an oriental fried rice packet from the depths of the pantry, cup of frozen vegetables, eggs, seasonings. 

 

Then my husband asked if I might want to save the practise til the proverbial actually hit the fan.. 

 

Might have a point.
