skinsmarydu Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Got our special spicy sriracha sauce from work to get drizzled on these here lobster cakes. (Yeah, store-bought. It's just a snowstorm. ) I haven't figured out sides yet, got a lot of stuff to choose from. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made a PF Chang inspired chicken lettuce wraps (subbed carrots for water chestnuts) & Pad See Ew (which was not very good. I need a new recipe for this). Hadthe longevity noodles in the Pad See Ew. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Tonight was boeuf bourguignon, tomorrow I'm making pork belly char siu (I'll start the marinade tonight). 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Here's some of the pork belly char siu. Doesn't have the traditional red color because I didn't use the fermented red bean curd that gives it that color. Still delicious though. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 10 minutes ago, dfitzo53 said: How do you make it? You marinate the pork belly overnight in soy sauce, chinese rice wine, oyster sauce, garlic, chinese five spice, and the fermented red bean paste, for which you can substitute hoisin sauce, but it won't give it that red color. Typically there will also be some kind of sugar, either white sugar, molasses or honey. I used brown sugar. Then roast it at 400F for 15-20 minutes, baste and rotate with marinade, another 15-20 minutes, baste and rotate and the put on a glaze (which is essentally 2 tablespoons of the reserve marinade mixed with honey) and roast for another minute or two to caramelize and set the glaze. There are lots of recipes online. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomatoes, red onion, soy sauce, garlic, a splash of apple cider vinegar. The only item you can’t find everywhere is the aji amarillo, which is the key to all the sauces. I had to get it on Amazon.

Private Selection® Peruvian Inspired Aji Amarillo Marinade Private Selection® Peruvian Inspired Aji Amarillo & Quinoa Dip The Aji Amarillo marinade sounds pretty convenient. Not a lot of stores in this area carry anything of that nature, but Wegman has this: https://shop.wegmans.com/product/26325/wegmans-peruvian-style-marinade I just used some of that, and I added some additional lime juice, garlic, cumin and avocado oil to marinade some boneless chicken thighs to grill this evening. I have too much leftover yellow aji sauce to let it go to waste, so peruvian again for dinner. Tonight will be the marinated and grilled chicken thighs with arroz chaufa (peruvian fried rice) only I'm subbing straight white rice for half brown, half cauliflower rice, but with all the same flavors. I use this to make the yellow sauce which is really what brings it all together: https://www.amazon.com/Incas-Food-Aji-Amarillo-Paste/dp/B003G52K5E Here's the recipe I pretty much go by: https://melissacookston.com/peruvian-chicken-sauce/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) Thanks for these suggestions! I have some frozen chicken leg quarters that would work. I'm sure my local HEB has aji amarillo, I'm going to check. They do but it has habenero peppers in it, so that's a big no! Just read that the paste is made from hot peppers, so I will use the recipe, add some yellow bell pepper to cool it down and parsley in place of the cilantro (which I really don't like). Can't wait to try this! Edited February 7, 2022 by LadySkinsFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 We purchased an instant pot this black Friday. No idea if we are late to this cooking innovation, but nothing has revolutionized meal and food prep like this. We just got an air fryer and I feel like it is going to be similarly life changing. Cooked our first meal of chicken strips and fried broccoli in 15 minutes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan1311 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Did my first "hot & fast" brisket. It turned out great. I'm no longer a skeptic. It was my first high heat cook in the bullet smoker, and I was not sure if it could get, and hold, higher temps. It worked like a champ! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
