Some Asian fusion healthy food.
First up, mantou. Chinese steamed buns with a butternut squash dough.
Main course, a spaghetti squash ramen in a creamy peanut broth. The squash noodles were the perfect texture.

Yesterday's dinner. A hickory smoked chicken, turned out pretty well!

No longer a newbie, but still clueless.
Must be the season. I did one on the gasser on Saturday. Pull that little plastic 'thermometer' out and throw it away before you cook.
It actually "popped" once I wrapped it for 20 minutes. I usually do pull it and put the probe in the hole left behind.Must be the season. I did one on the gasser on Saturday. Pull that little plastic 'thermometer' out and throw it away before you cook.
Pulled pork fried rice tonight, needed to hit the easy button...

I like that idea! Never thought of tossing pulled pork into fried rice!

Turns out really good. The hickory smokiness comes through but isn't overwhelming in my opinion.I like that idea! Never thought of tossing pulled pork into fried rice!

Yesterday was Taco Tuesday, of course. Got some flap meat at Costco a few weeks ago. Seasoned it up with S&P, chili powder, onion powder, cumin and oregano; then vac sealed and froze. Two hours in sous vide at 131F, then about two minutes per side on the gasser at full heat.
Assembled with shredded cheese and Romaine, sour cream, salsa, pickled jalapeños and parsley (no cilantro on hand).

The other day I was staring at my big jar of homemade sauerkraut trying to think of something new to do with it. I started searching for kraut recipes and stumbled upon a Bavarian favorite called krautkrapfen. Basically it is a strudel (noodle dough) stuffed and wrapped with sauerkraut and usually some kind of sausage or bacon. It is sliced, fried and then simmered with a bit of broth. I made a vegan version using a tofu sausage crumble that I made. It was absolutely delicious. I’ll definitely make this again.
A light lunch. Biggest challenge was getting the bitterness out of my romaine lettuce. I've been harvesting outer leaves on my hydroponic lettuce in the basement, now learning that 2 month old lettuce grown this way is getting a bit long in the tooth. Soaked in some cold tap water for a half an hour and it became quite edible, had a bit of bitterness with it but added some interest to such a simple lunch. Served with a small grilled tuna steak.
Found a skirt steak on fire sale ($5.83 for a 1.5 lb steak), so decided to grill since the rain cleared out. I think I'm going to hear some nasty comments from the "girls" in the family once they try some fajitas, but I've got a meeting so hopefully the noise will die down before I get home. Perfect spice for me, probably not for them.
Some smoked onion, red bell pepper and one lone jalapeno. Fogged my glasses up (even with some sour cream added). Didn't have anymore ripe tomatoes, so threw in a diced unripe one, which added some good tang.
Yum!

One of my favorite "easy button" dinners! Chicken Tikka Masala. Some Sauv Blanc may have been consumed!
Thought I had some frozen items in the fridge, must have used them last week. Picked up a whole beef tenderloin for $5.99/lb at the local Giant. They are from Australia, so not as thick as the domestic ones. Still not bad for a plan "C". Served with a russet baked potato and no vege, since I'm old and forgot. Still yum!
Friday night, Pizza night!
Not sure if this belongs in the bread thread or here more. So proud of the crust on this. Perfecting it one Detroit Style Pizza at a time! Even Mrs IB was drooling. The crust, cheese caramelization was spot on perfect. Pepperoni, Italian sausage, baby portobello shrooms, roasted red bell peppers, red onion.........

Back in the saddle. (I had been quarantining, but got negative Covid test results today.)
I made a ribeye steak (dry-brined, rubbed with raw garlic, and a kiss of EVOO -- bisteca Fiorentino, I think). Roasted artichokes, served with lemon/garlic/butter; roasted parsnips, carrots, and red onions, with balsamic vinegar; and roasted sweet 'tater with butter.
Washed down with this Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, which really held its own: What's new in your cellar?

Well it's Carne Asada Saturday!
Flat Iron steak marinated in McCormicks "Brazilian Steakhouse" marinade plus a little Mojo Marinade plus a couple Serrano chiles I grew this Summer for a little extra "kick"!
