Friday 1/27/2017 What's on the menu?

[msmofet]

I am working up a recipe with b/s chicken breasts to be cooked in the pressure cooker. I want to use some things from the fridge, pantry and freezer. Not sure how it will work out. LOL I'm still new at using my Instant Pot. So I need to figure out what/how to cook things.

Galbi with jasmine rice, a quickie cucumber kimchee, pickled radishes, and spinach with sesame oil and seeds. Craig picked up some soju yesterday to have with dinner.

And we went to the big oriental market this morning, which also happens to be in the same shopping center as an italian market with a wonderful bakery. So, among other things, we brought home a couple of mini cream puff swans (mine) and a couple of canolis for Craig.

Now you just have to quit it with that Instant Pot, MsM! I'm sooooo tempted to get one!

Thinking I'll griddle up some hot dogs, buttered and toasted buns, with kraut, mustard, and relish.

Another banchan will be scallion pancakes, forgot about them until I just noe checked our menu to see what else needed to be done for dinner tonight.

 

[CakePoet]

Chili with rice and daughter had Chili with pasta. Yummy and simple.

 

[tenspeed]

I've never had Soju before, what does it taste like?
And let me say, I am very jealous! Your meal sounds like something right our alley! How do you make your quickie cucumber kim chee Med? and do you make your own pickled radish? Do you use daikon?

As to what's going on our table this evening, DH was made a request for Italian-Style Hoagies for late lunch-early dinner, linner
So I went over to the local supermarket, which carries the ingredients that are pretty close to what we would find in say an Italian Market. Found DH's favorite Root Beer (Henry Weinhard) and some Tillamook Ice Cream for dessert.
CG, I found your favorite Ice Cream, but they had very limited flavors available. We both want to try the Graeter's Coconut Chocolate Chip for sure!!! And ZOWEE!! You were right about the price, that will be a special treat, maybe this Summer they'll put it on sale ...

Well may not be doing that recipe tonight. DD may want to order Chinese takeaway.

 

[bethzaring]

Pork tamales and baked chile rellenos.

Take out won! Chicken and string beans with white sauce for me.

I used regular radishes simply because we had them and needed to use them before they went bad. I have used daikon and love pickled daikon. I'll have to post the link for the recipe later. I can't find it right now.

Soju tastes what I would imagine cold saki would taste like. I've only ever had saki warm or room temp, but from what it tastes like as it warms up in your mouth, I'd have to guess it's very similar.

 

[Smokeydoke]

^^ that looks great! Yum.

To answer OP: tonight I'm making Linguine and Clams for DH and Thai Red Chicken Curry for me. And PIE for dessert! I'm making a blackberry/blueberry pie. Wish me luck, I haven't made a real dessert pie in years (I've cheated and used pre-made crusts). Hopefully I can get a good photo to post in the dessert thread.

... and your quickie cucumber kim chee?

I simple adore japanese style namasu, pickled daikon, cucumber, sweet white onion, fresh ginger root and carrots, MMM!!



I gues I've got to make another bowl full

Got out a little early today so I made up a lasagne with gf's pasta machine, frozen tomatoes from the garden and fresh ground beef from the deli.. it's in the oven now....serving a mixed green salad with balsamic and olive oil......washing it down with Chianti....

Dang that sounds good. I have everything except the hot dogs. So I settled for a couple of scrambled eggs.

 

[CWS4322]

Stir-fry beef and veggies with rice.

Discovered I had no Mozzerella so I used Asiago..it browns rather nicely...

 

[medtran49]

Rock, that lasagne looks divine.

K-girl,

Korean Food Made Simple: Recipes: Cucumber Kimchi and Radish Pickle | Asian Food Channel is what I used last night. When I taste tested both of them, I thought both needed way more gochugaru. Um, no. As you eat them, the heat builds and I ended up needing the rice and scallion pancakes, and the soju.

Daikon pickled like in your short-cut banh mi recipe is good too.

DW did the shopping and nails thing, and my boy went snow tubing with his school, so I made some lamb shoulder chops, and fried some polents pucks with onions and garlic for myself.

DH went shopping Thursday and found lobster tails on special, so bought a pair; we've been watching "Hell's Kitchen" and the chefs are always making lobster risotto, so a dinner was born

http://www.delectablecookingandbaking.com/gordon-ramsay-hells-kitchen-lobster-risotto-recipe/

So I made lobster stock to make the risotto with. Really delicious I made pan-seared pollock to go alongside, and roasted asparagus. Yummy meal.
