Last nights dinner... Salmon


wow, could you elaborate a bit on the sauce/seasoning and the way you made the sesame seeds stick?
Excellent photography skills as well, btw, thanks for not raising the bar too high [/sarcasm] :-P


for content:

we bought a piece of cow that's not a common piece of meat over here...literally translated, it would be "donkey"...some research showed that in America it is called tri-tip, which is pretty common, lol. So far for exotic and strange pieces of meat...

Anyway, the dinner was lovely, with brussel sprouts, mushrooms, potato gratin and really nice an flavorful meat.

Basically - for the glacing of the salmon...

Sweet chili sauce, a goodish knob of ginger, 3 cloves of garlic, soy sauce, oil.

Mince the garlic - and let it simmer in the oil - mince ginger, add with soy and sweet chili sauce - marinade fish in sauce for a while.

Quickly (on a hot pan with oil), sear the upper side of the fish, remove and turn in marinade again.

Dip sides in sesame seeds - into oven for 5-10 minutes - add some of the marinade over the top when halfway through.

Done..

*taking notes*

Thank you SO much! (glad I asked, hahaha)
Will definitely give this a try in the near future!

Please lay on me your mapo tofu recipes. I make pretty much exclusively American/French food at home and would love to start incorporating Chinese and Indian stuff. Similarly if anyone could recommend me an Indian recipe that is delicious and doesn't require a pressure cooker I would be very grateful.

I think Thoht is right.

Just to give you an idea Gwyrgyn Blood, I think my pan was on low heat and I hardly stirred any longer than to mix the ingredients and dissolve the sugar, bout 2 to 3 minutes or something, as the consistency of the mixed ingredients is saucy to begin with.

I used to buy tempeh pedis, but never prepared something with tempeh myself...until now!

Pleasantly surprised by the fact that it wasn't a stinking sticky mess to begin with, but smellled and felt very pleasant on it's own.
I made an extremely easy version of something that i wanted to resemble the tempeh pedis I buy from the store,
without deepfrying and after browning the pieces in oil and letting them sit on some kitchen towl, I just tossed it in
ketjap manis, brown sugar, sambal badjak and a bit of water.
It was WAY better than what i usually have, because it was fresh (after a day in the fridge it did resemble the store-bought version, lol, still tasty though)





Will definitely use tempeh for other snacks and dishes as well in the future, great stuff.

All ideas and/or recipes with tempeh are welcome!

Well good, here's my food:

made some sort of banh mí with satay tempeh yesterday (you could call it a sandwich for lack of effort), that was very tasty



made some tempeh pedis with the remaining tempeh, so I had something to snack on during the evening,
but that was gone before dinner (and so was the beer)

Recipe for that satay tempeh? Looks amazing! Always trying to find new ways to use it.


cut the tempeh in thin slices (about 150- 200 gram),
marinate the slices for a couple of hours (at least one) in a mixture of:
- 2 tablespoons of ketjap manis (thick sweet soysauce)
- 1 tablespoon of soysauce
- 2 tablespoons of peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon of ketchup
- half a tablespoon of sambal badjak
- half a tablespoon of vinegar
Turn over the slices a couple of times during marinating

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celcius (I think that's 400F)
in a single layer on a baking sheet, bake the tempeh for 8-10 minutes.


imo they're best when slightly cooled down
It was a first time trial, but I'll definitely make them again!

I had a bag of rice flour and a piece of char siew, so I made:
Banh xeo with char siu (without shrimps), onion, bean sprouts and spring onions, some mint leaves, a handful of lettuce leaves and a simple nuoc cham



Didn't expect it would work out, but dayum, that stuff was good!
So the next day I made it again (had a load of leftovers), but with bigger lettuce leaves and two instead of one banh xeo



I never ate banh xeo before, but I love the stuff I made, so next week I'm going to order it from a proper vietnamese restaurant and see what can be enhanced.
It's definitely a dish that will stick in my routine, for sure! :-D

Torquemada posted:

Sopes are just blue flour tortilla masa, you don’t even need a press to make them. Just flatten a small ball of masa into a disc, about half an inch thick and 3-4 inches in diameter. Cook them in a hot cast iron pan about 30 - 60 seconds on one side; flip them over and crinkle the edges on the cooked side, then cook the other side about the same. Couple of seconds in a microwave or in a warm oven to reheat.

The frijoles are made with canellini beans, butter and lard, cumin, salt, oregano, garlic, msg and toasted arbol chilies.

The pork is a mashup of the best parts of pastor and pibil. I used loin, if you have a super sharp knife and knife skills you could use virtually any part of the pig. Cut your pork into the thinnest strips you can, really thin. Get some disposable gloves for the marinade. Use salt, msg, cumin, a variety of chiles (I used anaheim, guajillio, and mulatos), the juice of an orange, a lemon, and a lime, and some cinnamon. Lastly, achiote, or annatto paste, without which the dish is pointless. Make a dry-ish paste out of these ingredients, massage it into the pork, and leave for a while. Fry in lard in a very hot pan, don’t crowd the pan, and make sure the meat is at room temperature when you start cooking.

The salsa is simple, a whole pineapple cut into chunks, and two onions in large dice, roughly equal in weight to the pineapple flesh. Roast in a hot oven for 30- 45 minutes, until tender and a little scorched. Put these ingredients into a blender with some lime juice, salt, fresh cilantro and habanero chilies.

The prawn ones were kind of plain in comparison, fried in lard with ant powder and serrano chili and some wet garlic. Good, but the pork ones were insane:D

Thank you!!
