Apple Pork Ribs Soup / Mulled Cider / Nabeyaki Udon + Three Mushroom Vegetarian Nabeyaki Udon

Blog Post & Recipe: Apple Pork Ribs Soup 苹果猪骨汤

The flavour of this soup really depends on what type or how big the apples are. The original recipe calls for 4 apples but I used 3 instead as the apples I used were quite large and I was afraid that the soup would be too sweet. So remember to adjust accordingly to your taste.

Blog Post & Recipe: How to make mulled cider

The basic idea of making any mulled drink is to warm the liquor gently with spices. Which spices to use is up to you – nutmeg, star anise and vanilla can be used, though we're going to stick with tradition and use just cloves and cinnamon. Sugar or honey can be added to taste but because of the unusual addition of the very sweet sloe gin in this recipe, you probably won't need it.

Blog Post & Recipe: Nabeyaki Udon and Three Mushroom Vegetarian Nabeyaki Udon

So find some loved ones and get yourself into the kitchen to make some nabeyaki udon. This udon has the thick chewy udon noodles and vegetables of the regular nabeyaki udon, but is made with a mushroom stock base. Plus it sports three varieties of mushrooms—shiitake, king trumpet, and enoki mushrooms and cubes of sauteed tofu. If you can’t find some of the mushrooms, substitute your favorites!

Iced Coffee Pops / Apple Tarragon Granita / Smoothie Bag

Blog Post & Recipe: Iced Coffee Pops

Mix the coffee with the sweetened condensed milk. Add tablespoon of cocoa powder and adjust to taste

Blog Post & Recipe: Apple Tarragon Granita

In an 8 inch square dish, combine all ingredients until sugar is dissolved. Freeze 1-2 hours and stir with a fork. Freeze 2-3 hours longer, stirring with a fork occasionally. (Once it is mostly frozen it's more like fluffing with a fork than stirring.) Stir with a fork before serving.

Then when it comes to buying fresh fruit...there are plenty of times when it doesn't get eaten fast enough and it's a waste not to use it. That's where the smoothie bag came into play. Any fruit that reaches the still good, but too bruised or soft stage, it gets cut up to freeze. I lay the frozen pieces out on a plastic wrap lined sheet pan and freeze them until hard.

Blog Post & Recipe: Korma Curry Recipe: Goat Meat with Okra

To certain people, goat meat can have a strong taste, but I find that the meat at my local Indian market tastes wonderful and is very tender. Okra has a bad reputation as well due to its texture once boiled. I personally love this dish and could eat it by the pound, dipping rotis (Indian flat bread) in the spicy gravy sauce.

Sweet Potato, Apple & Lentil Soup / Spanish Lentil & Butternut Pumpkin Stew with Roast Garlic / Sautéed Fermented Soybean Waste with Black Nightshade

Blog Post & Recipe: Sweet Potato, Apple and Lentil Soup

The combination of sweet potatoes and apples is a natural, and using tart apples helps to ensure that the soup isn’t cloyingly sweet. Lentils add a a subtle yet mysterious heartiness.

Blog Post & Recipe: Spanish Lentil and Squash Stew with Roasted Garlic

This is a lovely, hearty stew that is both savoury but still slightly sweet. Lentils fill the stew as its base, and the butternut squash and red peppers add colour and sweetness. A head of roasted garlic brings a mellow sweetness as well. The peppers are both boiled and pan-fried for a contrast in flavour and texture (but I feel like this step could be skipped if you are pressed for time).

Blog Post & Recipe: WHB #278: Tumis Oncom dan Leunca (Sautéed Fermented Soybean Waste with Black Nightshade)

Most Indonesian cooking books written in English referred oncom as fermented soybean waste.

Indeed it considered to be closely related to tempeh (fermented soybean). But instead of soybean, oncom is actually made from natural by-products of other foods. For example, soy bean tailings from bean curd making, peanut presscake from peanut oil making, cassava tailings from the starch extraction or coconut presscake remnants after the milk squeezed out. These wastes are then fermented using molds.

For his resolution to have a real shot, we'd need a couple of gateway dishes - meatless ones that masqueraded as meaty ones. They'd also have to be fast and easy to make. We settled on two: Mushroom bourguignon, a riff on the traditional beef dish made with pearl onions, carrots, wine and beef stock; and barley risotto ... We'd also use vegetable purees - onion to thicken the bourguignon sauce, and carrot to bind together the risotto.

I know that unless you are a tomato and white bean junkie, as I am, the prospect of a bowl of sloshy stew built on their foundation doesn’t sound very appealing. But what transforms it, I’d argue, is the presentation. I like to place a thick slice of well-toasted, garlic-rubbed bread underneath, ladle the stew over it and finish it with a softly poached egg.
