I keep a base teriyaki sauce on hand (Adam Liaw's recipe) that's just 1 cup soy sauce, 3/4 cup each sake and mirin and 75g sugar.

Threw an onion, 2 cloves of garlic and 3 Japanese eggplant in the wok until softened and threw in about half cup of teriyaki and simmered it until it was thick. Threw over sushi rice, topped with sesame seeds, scallion and a little togarashi. The egg was just boiled for 6 minutes.

Both of these look beautiful, and seeing as it's not been asked about yet, what's the rough recipe for the curry?

I used this recipe as a base as it was the closest vegan option I could find to the real thing since I didn't have premade roux:

I changed up the veggies to use what I had on hand... Murasaki sweet potatoes, cauliflower (which I'd skip next time), etc...

I made this soup thing.



It's my "lazy laab" (ground pork, lemongrass, onion, garlic, thai chili, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, Taro the dog supervision), thai pickled chilies (fish sauce, lime juice, vinegar, sugar), home made chicken broth, wide rice noodles, cilantro and napa to make it "healthy".

Tea tonight! Pan fried crispy skin salmon, baby courgette and mushrooms, drizzled with a cumin, dill, coriander and chive herb sauce, and finished with chilli fried panko breadcrumb. One-pan meal as well to make life easy. Really, really nice simple meal,with a tingle from the crumb and an intense herby hit from the sauce. (as an aside, I'm tempted to try the sauce with fried chicken or seafood... Think it'll work well. Edit:and onion bhaji).

Washed down with Opengate pilsner.

Yes and it was really nice to be able to all the prep work 48hrs ahead of time. This was for a dinner party on Saturday night and I had a pretty busy day ahead of time, so it was nice to only need a little over 2 hours to have it ready to serve. Now i have all the dark meat in the freezer that'll probably get ground up for burgers.

edit: we thought the whole pepper corns were a little intense and next time I make will probably grind those coarsely instead. I thought the food processor would break them up more but most were still whole.

I made this a year ago for Thanksgiving, and I'm doing it again for the 2nd time for Christmas. It is indeed amazing. I definitely recommend using some bones and scraps to make a turkey broth you can use for a homemade gravy. The turkey is super juicy and flavorful without but gravy always helps.

Also, I agree on maybe crushing the whole peppercorns... People didn't mind them but I think it would be better to crush some fresh peppercorns in a mortar and pestle versus using whole.

Butternut squash risotto, chicken thigh, pomegranate, feta, fried sage. Not photographed super well but I just spent all day making the chicken stock that went into this and it’s probably one of the most delicious things I’ve ever made.

Oh, and I did say I thought that sauce from yesterday's salmon dish could go well with a bhaji, so...

Tea tonight and some kitchen experimenting going on, with a onion and halloumi bhaji! Finely sliced onion, shredded halloumi and finely diced chilli in a spiced gram flour batter, deep fried.

Served with the cumin and herb sauce and some simple leafy salad to garnish.




They taste absolutely amazing, are really quick to prepare and cook, and are definitely going to be a standard feature in my indian inspired food nights from now on.

Occasionally my wife's mid-western side pops out and I have to make hot potato salad with sauerkraut and bratwurst

Sous vide pheasant stuffed with pork and nectarines, red wine reduction

Sous vide pork loin with garlic, fat and skin removed prior to cooking and dried with a hairdryer, salted and roasted, sauce oloroso sherry, pommery mustard and tarragon

Tonight, salmon cooked in a cast iron pan, sticky rice, sesame teriyaki and my first attempt at a Japanese omelette

Tomorrow's ribs, rubbed.

That hairdryer trick, would it work for a full fat-on joint to ensure the cracklingest of crackling, do you think? I'm tempted to try that.

The idea came from that recipe aggregator column they do in The Guardian. They pick a food and try like ten different recipes simultaneously and incorporate the best tips and tricks to get one über method. The hairdryer trick came from one of the columnists’ sources (can’t remember who).

I came up with the idea of cooking the fat and meat apart independently, though I’m sure people have been doing it for ages. I just acquired a sous vide: the first thing I cooked in it was a pork chop, and while the meat was perfect, the fat and skin while edible, wasn’t as enjoyable. Confronted with a loin roast, I had to up my game.

I removed the string, and laid the joint out. Trimmed the skin and all but the barest layer of fat off. Season, bag and s.v the meat. Dry the meat in paper towel in a fridge for an hour, then score the skin, lightly salt, fresh towel and fridge for two more hours. Dry the skin as much as you can then use a hairdryer on it for 5-10 minutes on medium heat. Salt a second time, and cook in a max temp oven for about an hour (250c). Finish off any unrendered bits with a blow torch.

Ah, and in answer to your original question, providing you dry out the skin as far as possible, with the meat at room temperature, I’m sure it’d make a big difference. Dryness of the skin seems to be the make or break factor in crackling.

I ended up using less potato than it says to use. I think the potatoes I got were much larger than the recipe asks for and even 2 of them crowded the pot so I used probably 1.5 extra large potatoes.
