Made our weekly salmon papillote tonight. 1lb salmon, mushrooms, butter, evoo, minced garlic, dill, lemon juice. Wrap it up and let it do its thing for about 20-30 mins.

Amoeba,

Papillote is something I could cook as good as you!

Nonsense, there's lots of stuff you are better than me at making. Pork loin for one. Steak for 2.

You cant substitute anything and make sure the dark soy is Chinese. Also browning on scallions is ok.

The Brussels sprouts dish? I didn’t make it, but I would just call it roasted Brussels sprouts with a poached egg.

brussels sprouts with a bit of char on the outside are amazing.
sprouts + olive oil + coarse salt + pepper on a hot grill cooked to a char are the nuts and go with pretty much any other grilled food.

I’ve been hunting morels with no luck all week, but today I found a few pheasant back(dryads saddle) mushrooms. Also my local asparagus farm started picking today. So we have grilled asparagus mixed with pheasant back mushroom and pancetta, topped with a poached egg.

Thanks BTC. Let me know if there is anything specific I need to know about folding the parchment paper. Was just going to look up a youtube.

Amoeba,

Lol, ok I’ll accept the compliment, yes I can prob cook steak a little better than you! You got everything else though. Actually, I can hold my own on eggs, too. I’m ready for head to head any egg preparation!

Speaking of steak, cross-post from steak thread, because green onions!



Skirt steak in Asian marinade (soy, mirin, gochujang, honey, ginger, garlic, scallions) and spinach with soy, miso, chili garlic sauce.

amoeba, I don't pleat like most. Just put the fish and veg to one side of a rectangular piece of paper or foil, about an inch from the edge. Fold the empty side over the top and roll up the seams a few times. Tuck under the packet to ensure a good seal.

Some eggwash the paper and fold over to seal like a dumpling, but that's a waste of an egg in my book .

Salted fish fried rice, or eggplant with chicken and salted fish [casserole] , you guys should try if you haven't next time you're in the local chinese spot. It might still smell funky initially though .

Hah glad you enjoyed it. Didn't want to make it sound like some exclusive dish but everytime I've ordered it even for NY "foodies" didn't go over too well.

I guess pungent is the right word to describe it, but it's when things like salted fish or kimchi has a smell that people can easily not like even if I like it myself, and very understandable not to like. Very different from something like garlic cooking in oil where I can't believe anyone doesn't like.

Xlv, I like those dishes too, especially the salted fish, eggplant, chicken claypot.

The one in the video is more northern Chinese food and is more a cold appetizer but I was sharing it more for the trick on retaining eggplant color and picking eggplant than the actual recipe.

Not sure if that counts as cooking, but since asparagus, carrots, egg and potatoes have been cooked, it is kind of cooking. Anyway that was my dinner: cooked asparagus, potatoes and carrots. Cut it all in pieces and mixed together, added an egg and some smoked rolled filet of ham. Dressing consists of some salt, apple vinegar, sea-buckthorn oil and generous amount of sweet mustard.

i was going to ask you where the asparagus was until i realized you were cooking white asparagus...i just don't see that very often in this part of the world.
looks like something i'd have no problem eating but...i've never heard of sea-buckthorn oil...what's it taste like?

It is very russian thing. In USA#1 you can buy it at Amazon https://www.amazon.de/Sanddorn-%C3%9.../dp/B004Z4YWSS or in russian grocery stores. If you do it, you should pay attention that it is cold pressing. It has slight flavour of sea-buckthorn. May be you know sea buckthorn liqueur. Otherwise it is pretty neutral. It has very beautiful red/dark orange color and looks cool on salads. It is generally more oil for dressings than cooking. It is also crap expensive, because has a lot of vitamins and is also used in medicine and cosmetology.

This guy is one of my favorites and started me watching chinese cooking videos. Very no frills but teaches a lot of the recipes without holding anything back which I love.

Plenty of times he shares what is done in restaurants and he admits is very unhealthy and shouldn't be done, but is delicious. "Passing through oil" which I guess is the equivalent of hot blanching for meat is a huge part of Cantonese cooking that isn't really talked about.

Edit: Video I linked is boiled [old school sous vide?] chicken and he doesn't seem to have anything recent, but yeah I like him!
