Its hard to get back in groove of buying groceries and cooking again after a vacation.
Nothing too fancy this week.
Seared king salmon, seared king mushroom, bok choy, dashi. I wanted the radish to resemble scales but knife work still not that good to cut it even thinner.
Wife made a really good cantonese style claypot rice in the Le Crueset with cured duck and chinese sausage. Its very similar in concept to a paella but even drier. The oils from the cured meats soak down in to the rice and the rice is supposed to develop a crisp crust on bottom.
Marinated tomatoes from food wishes video earlier
Sous vided some mini burgers then tossed on the grill with some carrots, asparagus and grapefruit. Wife wanted grilled grapefruit.
Burger on king hawaiian rolls
With fried quail egg on top
Not a great photo. Sear was actually better than pictured. Seared scallops, asparagus, trout roe, miso dashi butter sauce. Basically a buerre blanc except with 50 50 sake and dashi in place of white wine. Reduced with shallots. Added miso in place of salt. Mount butter. Cooked down a bit more than i wanted when i was keeping warm so colume is low.
