Dinner 2025

[Honkman]

Spiced Coconut Chicken Rice based on a Bon Appetit recipe - chicken thighs, shallots, garlic, turmeric and cayenne pepper are first braised in some water before adding washed basmati rice and coconut milk and cooked on low heat. Shredded black kale is added off heat.

It's a Dimmie / Dimsim ( Think they may be a uniquely Aussie Chinese dumpling fast food thing ) with a sauce presented like an oyster 🤷‍♀️

It looks interesting. What is it made of, though? The filling, the sauce... 🙂

Pork hock with soy sauce, white wine, garlic, onions, ginger, allulose, star anise and cloves.

 

I wish there were an animal built of fat, collagen and rinds alone; but apart from meself, I know no other.

It was a long day with the auction folks here. I hadn't eaten all day and my goal was fast, easy, reasonably healthy and tasty. This worked. Sukhi's Butter Chicken with Turmeric Rice (Costco refrigerated section) and I added a little Cole slaw mix for some vegetables. It worked. Now I just want to fall into bed, but since it isn't even 6:30 yet, I'd be up by midnight! Ha!

Here’s  another episode in the series “things in a bowl”. This is pork gyoza (from Aldi) with broccolini and bean sprouts in bone broth. While I usually love everything Aldi, I won’t be buying these mean little things again. Perhaps Japan has spoilt me.
