Show me your Dish

[spicy_girl]

I bought a green thai mango at Vietnamese store few days a go. I wondered what goes well with sour mango. I mixed it with veggies and Sea food. At the same time, I cooked chicken cape malay curry. I used curry spice from South Africa. It was yummm!

Pork chop...

I have not yet found a Thai restaurant that serves a tender pork chop.  They are so far all like shoe leather with a little bit of tender meat by the bone.  I wonder if brining is foreign to the culture.

It's not really a dish in their culture 

 

I'm sure not many farang in your country making a great Tom Yum Goong 5555

 

Funny enough we had no money growing up so my Mom bought very thin pork chops so I'm actually used to dry pork chops so don't mind them dry.

I tested a pork loin steak with 18hrs brining and cooked it with light teriyaki marinade brushed over .... it came out tender and moist despite over-cooking it.  Pork loin chop should be even better as it should have some fat content.

There is a Thai tendency to overcook most meats  -  I have had some truly awful beef steaks that were like shoe leather.

 

I was never a fan of pork chops - because I used to do exactly that (Mum - "you can't be too careful with pork, you have to cook it properly") - I later learned to cook it for less and, as with all meats, let it rest after cooking. Much, much better.

 

I would also say that pork, and chicken, is far tastier in Thailand than I remember from the UK.

Try again on different device.

Northern pork pies straight out of the oven, just waiting to add the aspic.

I've stated my love affair with my Air Fryer

 

This the 2nd time I've done a roast beef in there

 

The 1st time was great

So perfect inside

 

But this time looks even better

The crust on that beef looks superb!

Pork chili con carne (file photo)

I made a pork dish based on beef recipes as I don't enjoy Thai beef and quality imported mince is priced way over the top.  I used 400g of lean pork mince and the result was superb, looked exactly like the pic above.

Quantities may be varied to taste and I'll use 2 tins of beans next time:-

1 large onion chopped and browned in oil with mince, then add -

2 heaped tsp of ground cumin - 1 heaped tsp of coriander - 1 heaped tsp of smoked hot paprika - chopped fresh chili - 4 cloves chopped garlic
(add chopped chili sparingly, to taste, during cooking, add flaked chili at the end if more heat is desired)

Cook mince and onion until herbs and spices are fragrant, then add -

1 tin pulped tomato or 1/2L of passata ( quality passata is less acidic) plus water as required

Add in red kidney beans including the juice (aquafaba) which acts like a stock and thickening agent

Simmer for 30 to 40 minutes with lid on, or until tender, adding water as required and season with salt, sugar and extra chili just before serving with corn chips and sour cream (or in my case, a baked potato with butter and yoghurt)

Filet mignon, mash, veg and home fries. Washed down with a decent St Emilion Grand Cru.

My take on a Kiwi making a decent chicken parm is pretty much the same as pizza in Australia.  5555

 

Stick to the Chilli.

Made 4 Scotch eggs but demolished 2 before taking the photo, very delicious (if you like that sort of thing)

There are only 3 things that Yorkshiremen moan about, one is beer wi owt head, the second is flat Yorkshire puddings and the third is everything else.

We stayed home in Vancouver for Xmas for the 1st time in about 7 years 

 

So we had all the Thais over for Xmas

 

I made about 10 dishes but was too busy to take pics

 

Took these two pics

 

Mussels and Chorizo in white wine cream sauce

 

Shrimp with apples and grape tomatoes with a balsamic drizzle

 

 

 

[Marc26]

 

 

Pan fried pork chops with onions and peppers in red wine vinegar 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1st time cooking with red wine vinegar

 

 

 

I usually just use it as a dressing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So was nervous and don't think I used enough

 

 

 

Wanted the peppers to be a bit more vinergary 

Still pretty decent though
