Im not sure , as I haven't studied this closely :

 

eG'er are Upping they Game I think

I think next time I'll used either smoked oysters or smoke my frozen ones......the hint of bacon was good but it needed more.  Maybe just add more bacon....hmmm...

@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 -

 

Seen here:

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

I riffed on that idea once to make soup-filled ravioli, which I served as an appetizer ("inside-out chicken noodle soup"). We had a few casualties, but it was a small enough batch that I could get away with it.

Bastardized mie goreng. Bucatini cooked in alkaline water, then pan fried with a sauce made of oyster sauce, garlic, ginger, chilies and a take on home made kecap manis; made with caramel, soy sauce, star anise, cinnamon and cloves. Broccoli, browned onion, haminados eggs.

I picked some mallow leaves from the garden, combine with zucchinis and Sirene cheese for a casserole. Flavored with lemon zest and zaatar.

Labneh, zaatar, olive oil, tomatoes.

This slid past me.   There is a huge crop of mallow this year.   I never knew you could cook with it, altho as a child I delighted in picking and eating the "fairy cheeses".    THANKS for this new window.

Nothing brings the kid home from the dorms like chicken and noodles.

That's the thing about opposum inerds, they's just as tasty the next day.

Some meals at home this past few days.

 

A favourite combo - MaPo Tofu and Eggplant with Toban Bean Paste

                                                                    1667699240_MaPoTofuEggplant0827.jpg.0d5936671b4e81c3cc000cf1c2e7a839.jpg

 

Picked up some turkey thighs and breasts that were marinated with sea salt and pepper - in cryovac. They are Granny's and brought in as a new product by our Safeway. Most of us would reason that it would be cheaper to buy a whole turkey, so they did not sell.  However, at a price reduction, $2.00 / package, they are great for 2 seniors with leftovers for next day. I did a breast and the thighs in the air fryer. I added Greek seasoning.

 Trying very hard on portion control - the struggle is real! Individual lasagna which I never would have thought possibly enough, but it was!

                                                                  1909035109_IndividualLasagna0830.jpg.273cb0b3ddbce3804458f5d044767a0b.jpg

 

Another attempt at portion control - a bowl with some stir-fried beef tenderloin trimmings, mixed veg, and some burnt rice from the rice pot.

With this Cov-id-19 looking over us, it's a good time to do the Eat from the Freezer Challenge again : Beer Battered Pickerel Fish 'n' Chips in the air fryer

And, last night - Char Siu Baby Back Ribs with gai lan and brown /;wild rice mix

                                                                1850322817_CharSiuribs0863.jpg.2eb110dc19bc74600d182d650cdd9a04.jpg

😊

Make sure to pick tender leaves, if you do. It cooks like chard, but has a milder, somewhat wheaty flavor.

My household has expanded as my nephew's college closed campus for the rest of the semester and my niece's high school did the same.  They opted to move in here as my wifi is faster than at their Mom's house, and they will be going to school online for the rest of the academic year.  Mom lives one town over, so has been coming for dinner every night, and as soon as her office closes down (likely tomorrow), she is moving in too.  I have one more bedroom left; any takers?  🙂  

 

All  meals for the foreseeable future will be served family style.  I skipped photos for the first few days while I adjusted to this new routine, but here is tonight's dinner.  Crabless crab rangoons (nephew is allergic to crustaceans)

Fried rice with not enough vegetables for the younger ones to object (and especially none of my niece's DREADED PEAS)

I almost think I could eat dirt out of those beautiful dishes and serving pieces.  'Even my half-assed cooking would shine and that's saying a lot.

I always try to "read" them like hieroglyphics.  The bowl in the last picture say "Eat this, it will blow your mind".  Am I close?

Roasted salmon fillet, steamed asparagus, and reheated leftover seafood paella rice (just rice, had eaten the seafood...but it gave the rice such great flavor, I had taken it home and frozen it after a dinner out in Feb, which I normally wouldn’t do).

Last year we kicked most processed/refined sugar out of our house, this year the goal is to drastically reduce meat (fish is fine!) and dairy - I found the idea online for 'faux' pulled pork sliders....

 

King Oyster (shredded with a fork) and Enoki Mushrooms / Spanish Onions - all sauteed till golden.  Tossed in a home made BBQ Sauce - served on GF (Aiden's does a great GF bread) ciabatta rolls; along side Ramp soup and a salad - creamy ramp/Meyer lemon dressing.

 

My 7 year old gave it a 4/5 stars (and he dislikes mushrooms at the best of times!).

 

Will repeat.

Years ago a Vietnamese friend taught me to save all those bits and dabs of sauce or a super flavorful dish. and freeze. They amp up dishes wonderfully. Impossible to re-create but provide pleasure.
