What did you have for dinner?

[crowboy]

Nasi Goreng for me tonight.

But it was take away, not my own.

I am getting inspired by this topic. I might copy someones meal and make it tomorrow for dinner.

Nothing, I am at my parents for easter dinner tonight
But I prepared marinated young-spinach with roasted sesame and tea-eggs to create completely edible easter baskets
think of this just with spinach and those:

Chinese tea eggs or tea eggs with a German twist, Corno?

I love tea eggs.

I had a hot dog. A tofu hot dog with mustard and bean sauce.

Chinese tea eggs or tea eggs with a German twist, Corno?

chinese .. black tea, black pepper, soy sauce, salt and a little bit of anise

 

[Corny]

That looks... delicious... how does one make such a thing? I eat a hard boiled egg practically every day.

hard boil the eggs, put them in cold water ("abschrecken" .. dictionary says "quench" but that sounds wrong) crush (not remove!) the shell all around with a teaspoon, put

black tea, black pepper, soy sauce, salt and a little bit of anise

(2 tbsp tea + soy sauce, 1 tbsp of the rest) into the cooking water, place eggs in it again, simmer for ~2hours or more.

I did not feel like cooking last night so I went to my local Italian grocery store ( I live in Little Italy) and bought some of there home made cheese ravioli with some bolognese sauce. I then made ravioli gratinee. It was delicious

chinese .. black tea, black pepper, soy sauce, salt and a little bit of anise

Chinese tea eggs = best thing ever. Perfect with tea.

-Noiro, I think they boil them in a herbal tea concoction. You can get the tea eggs from your local traditional Chinese medicine stall.

<edit>

Or you can just read Corny's post and follow the instructions.

 

[Corny]

Already on it. bringing the water to a boil right now !!!

if you have enamel pots don't use them (or anything else which tea could stain).

enjoy your meal (later .. but I am about to leave now )

We bought a broiler chicken the other day something many people wouldn't consider eating, but its good for its flavour, and if done right the crunchy rubbery skin is tough but oh so flavoursome meat. It's a whole chicken, cleaned, but still has its feet and its kneck and head attached. After washing and tidying the chicken a bit, I cut the leg sinew to I could fold the feet/claws into the body cavity, and then put into a wok filled with boiling hot water to scold the rubbery skin until it was taut all over. It was then put on a rolling boil and turned every five or ten minutes for about half an hour until it was cooked.

I removed the legs and filleted the meat off the bone. The wings were removed and the breast filleted off the bone, and remaining pieces of good meat taken off with their covering of rubbery skin. The carcass and the wings were salted, so they can be used later, but the meat was sliced and accompanied by a dressing (made by pouring boiling hot oil into a bowl of finely chopped spring onion, crushed ginger, salt and soy sauce). We ate this with boiled rice, braised cabbage, and also the golden fried tofu that were stuffied with mince pork and grated mooli, and a spinach broth made from the liquid from poaching the chicken, dried scallops, and fresh pork.

wow. great technique! i love whole birds and fish dressed with that fantastic combo of ginger/scallion/hot peanut oil. i did some lobsters that way recently and they were extraordinary.

i'm having friends in tonight for an impromptu dinner. looked around the cupboards and fridge and decided we're having a salad of wild greens and herbs, some wild herb/garlic butter brushed grilled naan bread, and a pasta with whole wheat spaghetti, fresh clams, mussels, and prawns in a fiery tomato type of a "diablo" sauce.

 

[chatolandia]

I took my daughter and her fiancee to Eastern Market today and told them to pick out Easter dinner, which we had tonight because they have to leave in the morning to drive back to Michigan.

We had some of the nicest and best tasting Porterhouse steaks, on the grill, plus grilled corn, asparagus, baked potatoes, homemade apple pie, homemade chocolate chip cookies, and some great Merlot that I had shipped from California on my last trip!

I would have preferred leg of lamb, but that was their choice and who am I to go against it! lol!

Tonight I had a "sanduiche do pernil" and a Skol!
