Blog Post & Recipe: Ginger Fried Rice Recipe

I loved the crispy ginger and garlic and with the runny egg mixed in it was divine.

Blog Post & Recipe: Jellied Turkey Terrine with Parsley and Capers

Here's an unusual way to use up left-over roast turkey: a delicate terrine set with naturally jellied stock and flavoured with a zingy mixture of fresh parsley, capers and gherkins. I made this with the leftovers of two chickens (not having a spare gobbler to hand) but it will work just as well with turkey, provided that you boil the stock long enough for it to form a gentle jelly.

Baked Sweet Potato with Black Beans / Spinach Egg Drop Soup / Halal Cart-Style Chicken & Rice with White Sauce

Blog Post & Recipe: Baked Sweet Potato with Black Beans

You can also bake the potatoes in the oven for a crispier skin (don’t forget to eat the skin – it’s full of nutrients!)

Swim in a bowl of chicken broth accentuated with ribbons of velvety, beaten egg and shreds of spinach. Let the bright green onions make your taste buds sing.

Spinach Egg Drop Soup

Blog Post & Recipe: Serious Eats' Halal Cart-Style Chicken and Rice with White Sauce

Manhattan is home to many smells, but perhaps the most delicious is the chicken-y, savory scent that emanates from from the city's countless halal carts. Serving lunch to late-night, these carts dish up a container full of chicken rice that tastes like nothing else, crave-worthy and totally singular ... Marinated in oregano, lemon, and coriander, chicken thighs are browned, chopped into chunks and served over a pile turmeric-yellow rice.

Soy & Star Anise Oxtail / Horchata / Beetroot Salad with Crispy Leeks & Bacon

Blog Post & Recipe: Soy & Star Anise Oxtail

The oxtail needs cooking slow and low to ensure the is meat that can be sucked off the bone perfect with the spicy sticky sauce but definitely have some napkins handy .

Blog Post & Recipe: Bringing Mexico Home: Horchata

Variations include almonds, lime zest, or even pecans and popcorn. Momofuku Milk Bar serves a Horchata Soft Serve Ice Cream with Cinnamon. And adding a dash of Tequila can improve its already soothing qualities.

Blog Post & Recipe: Beet Salad with Crispy Leeks and Bacon

I decided to take a different route when recreating this dish at home. Instead of chicken skin, I used bacon, and instead of frying it stovetop, I used it to help make the leeks extra crispy in the oven. After a few minutes roasting together, the leeks begin to caramelize in the bacon fat, and the result is a rather rich smoky dressing for your beets.

Yaki Onigiri / Wild Rice Burgers / Basic Taco Meat Mix

Blog Post & Recipe: Yaki Onigiri

Some say that it’s the Japanese equivalent of a sandwich, well if that’s the case then the grilled version, yaki onigiri must be the equivalent of a toasted sandwich.

Blog Post & Recipe: Recipe: Wild Rice Burgers

The chewy texture of wild rice really lends itself to a burger, and we rounded out the nutty flavor with some sharp Asiago cheese and a hint of spice. To hold the burgers together, we used breadcrumbs and eggs.

Blog Post & Recipe: Basic taco meat mix

It’s hard to believe that I have never posted this really basic basic, but looking though my archives I have not. So here it is, a ‘taco meat’ mix that I make all the time in some quantity, freezing in portions. It can be used in tacos of course, as well as a sort of Western-tasting soboro to top rice. Try it in pita bread pockets too. I try to get as many vegetables as I can into the mix, making it almost an all-in-one type of recipe.

5 Recipes from the Momofuku Cookbook / Corn, Buttermilk & Chive Popovers / How to Sprout Lentils + Gourmet Sprouted Lentil Salad

Blog Post & Recipes: David Chang’s Momofuku (Cooking the Books 5)

A few months ago, a few crazy food bloggers (myself and the Boy included) decided that the next Cooking the Books would be from the Momofuku cookbook.

Ramen Broth ... Momofuku Ramen (Cup Noodles) ... Roasted Rice Cakes ... Pork Belly Ssam (sam gyup sal ssam) with Mustard Seed Sauce

Blog Post & Recipe: corn, buttermilk and chive popovers

I turned to Google, which led me to a recipe for corn popovers from The New Basics by Julee Russo and Sheila Lukins. I adjusted them a bit; I swapped buttermilk for regular, as was my plan, and I found that the corn really had to be blended to become part of the batter (rather than kernels that fell out after tearing the popover open).

Blog Post & Recipe: How to Sprout Lentils & Gourmet Sprouted Lentil Salad

Go here to this post - and follow the directions for Sprouting Quinoa, simply replacing the Quinoa with Lentils! Be careful though - Lentils triple in size when you sprout them: If you're using a wide mouth (3 cup) Mason Jar I recommend starting with 1 cup of dried Lentils at the very most. You don't want to run out of room in your jar.

BOLOGNA CUPS WITH PEAS

Blog Post & Recipe: Green Curry Fried Rice | ข้าวผัดแกงเขียวหวานไก่

It's made in a very similar manner to green curry, starting with a good quality curry paste and coconut milk and then letting the other ingredients simmer in this fragrant sauce. The wonderful thing about green curry fried rice, though, is that the rice actually soaks up all of this sauce so that every bite you take is infused with rich, spicy green curry.

4 Mexican-Armenian Recipes / Unagi Kabayaki / Roasted Capsicum with Capers & Mozzarella

Article & Recipes: Marrying Mexican and Armenian cuisine

Armenians, just like Mexicans, love the comingling of sweet and sour and spicy and mild; they love strong flavors like lamb and garlic.

Stuffed grape leaves ... Pilaf with topping ... Carne asada ... Jocoque dip

Blog Post & Recipe: Unagi Kabayaki [via]

If you like Japanese food, and have had unagi kobayaki--broiled eel--at Japanese restaurants, you will be surprised at how easy it is to make at home. When I was making this dish, I thought of my nephew Tyler. He really likes unagi. I thought, 'How can Ty make this at his house in Oregon?' Simple. Just like my grandfather did--in a pan on top of the stove.

Blog Post & Recipe: roasted peppers with capers and mozzarella

I will turn on the oven for one thing, and that is to roast my peppers for the better part of an hour. I prefer this over blistering them on the stove, which makes them easy to peel but not supple and sweetly cooked as they get in the oven. After peeling their skin and cutting them into strips, I let them sit overnight in some salt, pepper, garlic and red wine vinegar which punched up their flavor a bit.

Mushroom Udon Noodles / How to Wash Rice / Soto Medan

Blog Post & Recipe: Mushroom Udon Noodles

I love thick, chewy udon noodles and the two kinds of mushrooms add another layer of chew to the dish. They are lightly seasoned with ginger, garlic, soy and sesame.

Blog Post & Video: Video: Atsushi's Way to Wash Rice Perfectly

Grains of rice need to absorb just the right amount of moisture before cooking so they can steam properly (humidity is how heat travels in foods) -- so washing the rice is key.

Blog Post & Recipe: Soto Medan

The soup is simple coconut milk-based soup, cook with spice paste and serve with condiments. Spices used that gives it the vibrant yellowish hue is fresh turmeric root paste. Almost all of fresh and dried spices found and grown in our region is used in the soup. The condiments are shredded chicken meat, bean sprouts, glass noodles and perkedel (potato patties). The soup is served warm with all these, sprinkled with shallot flakes, chopped spring onions and Chinese celery and liberally dosed with kecap manis (sweet soy sauce).

Blog Post & Recipe: leek toasts with blue cheese

I was all set to slow-caramelize the leeks as I would onions when I came upon Molly Wizenberg’s recipe for Leek Confit in Bon Appetit and decided it sounded much more straightforward. I’ve tweaked it a bit — less butter, some swapped for oil, as I didn’t need the full richness of a confit, I leave the leeks wet rather than adding water, etc. — but the basic cooking technique is the same, and it’s a cinch. This would also make a wonderful filling for a crepe or omelet, or with a poached egg on top

Saag Paneer Pasta / Leftover Rice Cake / Tomato Chili Lime Marmalade

Blog Post & Recipe: Saag Paneer Pasta

The spinach yogurt curry sauce went perfectly with the pasta. The chunks of fried cheese were a nice crunchy texture balance with the soft noodles.

Blog Post & Recipe: Leftover rice cake

It’s like a massive vege burger in a way, with grilled cheese on top, crispy crumby cheese edges, and a nice moist middle. The bonus is that you don’t need to get your hands dirty shaping any patties, and you don’t need to dip the patties into breadcrumbs. I’m considering making all my vege burger recipes like this from now on – you can still cut them into wedges and put them in a sandwich or bun.

Blog Post & Recipe: Tomato Chili Lime Marmalade

I wasn’t sure whether to call this a marmalade or a relish, I think really it would be a relish because of the tomatoes but the tang of the lime rind really gives it that marmalade edge. So what do you use such a marmalade relish for? Well we have eaten it on toast, with cheese and I have even dipped my fish & chips into it! You could use it to spice up grilled fish or chicken, adding it to the dish before serving or you could just offer it as an extra condiment at the table.

Blog Post & Recipes: Deliciously Upsided Down Dinners

I have an awesome new cookbook that I'll be raving about very soon and this Eggplant Manicotti caught my eye. The funny thing is... there is no real manicotti. The "pasta" is actually slices of eggplant with a very tasty filling.

Most Scotch egg recipes call for breakfast-sausage meat. I wanted a punchier flavor, so I picked up some spicy Italian sausages and added more bite with garlic and horseradish. Before patting the sausage meat onto the eggs, I coated them with a little flour. This helps the sausage adhere to the slippery egg white while cooking.
