Meatopia sounds fun, wish I could be there

got the urge for pizza one night but it was late and I was impatient so I grabbed some dim sum wrappers I had in the freezer and fried them up:



I used the Serious Eats Quick and Easy Italian-American Red Sauce in 40 Minutes or Less Recipe I had made and ready in the fridge

I put some of the sauce, mozzarella, parmigiano reggiano, sliced pepperoni and nuked it in the microwave for about 40 seconds and topped with some fresh basil. (I also put some pesto I had on hand on one of them and that was good too)





They are like Italian nachos, really tasty and I like the crunch. I ended up frying all the wrappers and put them in a zip lock freezer bag and they stay nice and crunchy for a quick snack any time I get the urge. I'm going to freeze some of them to see if they stay crunchy. They don't lose any crunch from the microwave either

Hot damn, I'm on an Italian kick, when I was at the Serious Eats site, I stumbled across this recipe:

Light and Tender Potato Gnocchi With Sage-Butter Sauce Recipe

I have fresh sage growing in the garden so I grabbed some and bought some pre-made gnocchi (cheated) but used the better sauce from that recipe and geezus, is it good!

The first picture is key. To reach god mode for double cooked pork, SV a pork belly for 2 hours at 155. Throw some garlic, kosher salt, and ground white pepper in the bag. Pull the bag and refrigerate for a few hours. Remove the gelatin and trim excess fat. Cube the pork belly and toss w/tbs of each soy sauce, high quality fish sauce, and corn starch. Fry in small batches in a wok on med-hi heat with a bit of peanut oil until deep brown crust forms) the rendered pork fat will take care of the rest of the oil you need). The result is like a pork rind you’d expect to find at a 5 star steakhouse: crispy, chewy, fatty, with a salty umami explosion.
damn, this looks amazing. Was your pork belly "skin on"?

can you post this recipe plz?

Takeaways are that the sauce balance tends more to the sour than the salty or hot, heavy on the garlic, heavy on the dried shrimp and peanuts for texture. The fish sauce wings were very thoroughly cooked, just shy of tasting burned which provided lots of depth of flavor.

ive got his book but havent tried any of the recipes.

do you have it and if so, how do they compare to what you can buy live?

The book was at my Airbnb in Portland, it has many of the dishes from the restaurant and some more mainstream American Thai dishes they weren’t on the menu.

I didn’t spend a bunch of time with the book but the recipe format seemed a little unorthodox, I’m sure that’s easily overcome with some time. My favorite Thai cookbook is Thompson’s.

thanks for the heads up, this is a good dish (I couldn't resist adding sour cream, fried tortillas and some diced carrots I threw in the with the chicken when I made the stock plus mine is darker because I ran out of cilantro for the slurry [slurry = chicken stock plus fresh cilantro blended])

Made some apple fritters today since I macerated way too many apples for an apple pie I made a few weeks back. Made a batch of donut dough and then logged up the apples inside and cut it up into chunks, realized I had way too many apples, and ended up having to make a second batch of dough so that they would stick together in the fryer, so I ended up with two dozen instead of one. What a shame.

I haven’t yet found an application where adding ground mushrooms to ground beef or bison in advance of cooking doesn’t work flawlessly.

It works for burgers, taco meat, chili, and meaty tomato sauce. It’s better than beef alone in all of these, imo.

It jacks up the umami and the moisture content across the board. It’s a little harder to form burger patties including mushrooms but if you add the salt in advance of mixing to foster myosin development it works fine.

Easy marinade of some soy, fish sauce, and corn starch—this on a PB I had SV’d for 2 hours at 145 then chilled. Fried up in the wok in some peanut oil. Skin off and also trimmed off some of the thicker fat.
