Noodles με μοσχάρι και φύκια

If you ate this, you would think "Mmm, tasty!" You would not believe it if I told you it's gluten-free and vegan.

 

And yet.

PS. I'm not vegan at all, but I'm very intrigued by vegan baked goods. The science is fascinating, and I actually think they taste better than the "normal" ones -- lighter, fluffier, and not quite so heavy and rich. The one exception seems to be pie crust -- there's nothing quite like butter for that flakiness -- but for things like cornbread and cupcakes, coconut oil seems to work just fine.

 

PPS. I was very skeptical about the vegan cheese. In fact, when I ate it raw out of the package, it tasted more like tofu. But when melted like this, it really bears a striking resemblance to cheddar.

今日の晩ご飯

I cooked prime cut boneless New Zealand Blue Hake lions coated in Sabal Oelek (fresh ground chili paste) and then salted and peppered and a bit of lemon juice for some acidity - baked at 375 until flaky.

 

It was very spicy - next time I will use quite a bit less of the Sambal Oelek.

So these are the French green beens [smaller than regular green beans - haricot vert].

3 tbsp hot chili oil (Asian), 2 tbsp Ghee in a large sauté pan

Heat the oils over high heat until smoking

add the beans and toss to coat the beans

cook over high heat until the beans start to shrivel, tossing frequently, about 5-7 min.

Add a mixture of Asian chili-garlic paste/water/sugar 1:1:1

but be VERY CAREFUL here because this is suddenly very flammable. Continue to toss to coat beans for another 2 min and serve immediately.

For a true authentic curry (without things like store-bought curry powder), it was super-easy to make -- mostly because there aren't any meat or vegetables aside from the scallions. Which is why I suggest getting your protein from another dish. I thought of making a chickpea dish to go along with this, but I'm lazy, so I ended up with some leftover meat dish we made last night as my protein fix.

 

The curry was delicious. Very tangy thanks to the buttermilk, and not hot at all even though I used a serrano chile. We finished off a couple of servings, so I placed the remaining curry in the above ramekin.

 

If you're going to make this though, beware of the popping mustard seeds! I had dozens of them on the kitchen floor after they popped all over the place.

Jen spent over a day in the kitchen preparing Thanksgiving dinner at home. Cornish game hens, fresh green bean casserole (with onions and mushrooms), creamed corn, rolls, and mixed greens (with mandarin oranges and walnuts). Not pictured, homemade pumpkin pie (with homemade crust).

It's another Sunday. I'm down with a massive headache. So, not taking the kids anywhere today. MIL bought some lai fun (the kind of noodles hawkers use with their assam laksa) from the market. She cooked something for everyone with just minced pork, eggs and choy sum. Thanks, MIL. It's good to be living with in-laws.

Risotto milanese. I added prawns in the risotto and seared scallops to go on top - yum yum! Great Sunday lunch.

I made a cheesecake for a dinner I am going to tomorrow. I made a New York Style Cheesecake and I added mini-chocolate chips in the mix and I will top it with cherries tomorrow right before I head to the dinner.

R made the BEST brunch ! Endless drinking and eating from 2pm to 6pm.

Cooked Pan-Seared Salmon with a tangy thai sauce, served with a trio of diced fruits (avocado, mango & green apples) for lunch.

Cooking crabapples in heavy syrup.

I was tired of beef and chicken - I wanted pasta - so I made a cheese lasagna, but them I decided it needed some meat, so I added chopped clams along with the tomatoes, oregano, and basil.

 

It was surprisingly good and since I did not spice it up like I usually do, I let the dogs have a little.

Home-made linguini with prawns, chilli, garlic and tomatoes.

Alexander made panko-crusted shrimp with tomato sald and yukon gold and roasted-garlic mashed potatoes. Yum!
