Sourdough; notes from lecture and info gathered
This is not a recipe review, but I guess just a documentation? Noah has made this recipe a number of different ways.
I have no idea what I’m doing here. There is no information to take as truth (except for Danny’s lecture!) This is just a page out of a notebook or something.
Sourdough Hokkaido Milk Bread
A very weird and interesting thing. It’s out there, it exists. I decided to seek it out because I wanted to make more fluffy milk bread and didn’t want to have fed my starter so diligently for nothing. So I used my starter for this.
Chicken salt crackers and popcorn mushrooms
Chicken salt appears to be five spice, msg, white pepper, and salt. Sounds like it’s for Taiwanese popcorn chicken - I also used it on king oyster mushrooms I fried a la Taiwanese popcorn chicken, and it was great!
I packed my pantry up (And a pesto recipe)
Blend everything but the oil with a powerful immersion blender, and then stir in EVOO by hand. (Blending EVOO will make it bitter.)
"Fry-Roast Chicken"
Easy and delicious. We loved this recipe so much, we made it twice in a row!
Spicy Fennel Slaw w/ Schug and Beets in Tehina
My two favorite Zahav recipes, 2 favorite non-Asian veggie dishes of all time
Zahav’s Coffee Braised Brisket
Though you won’t be able to eat it until the third day, it’s super simple and requires minimal active time. To me, this is a perfect recipe for quarantine time. Overall, it’s very low effort, high reward.
Our Bossam
We regularly eat bossam at home, once every few months. It’s always a little different and never traditional. Over the years, we evolved into a few standbys that I usually prefer to have, and some I can do without most of the time. Here is my collection. Mix and match.
Salteña, "a type of baked empanada from Bolivia"
As we all ponder our personal and collective futures, kill some time by trying this delicious Bolivian treat.
Saltena is basically a soupy empanada, as if a xiao long bao and an empanada had a big fat baby. All 3 parts (stock, filling, dough) take some devotion and care for the end product to be worth your effort and time. But it is worth it!
Warm Sesame Cabbage Slaw
This is the easiest recipe ever and acts as perfect side to any Asian meal, especially one with a heavy protein. You can slip it easily into your dinner prep between other tasks.
It requires few ingredients, all of which are pantry staples/last forever in the fridge. The finished dish itself lasts a long time in the fridge and packs well in a lunchbox.
