turns out that the eqq was supposed to be beaten and applied to the top of the biscuit dough, but every one agreed that it made the biscuits much richer!
😀
Thx Cal.....got ginger and green onions on the grocery list.
Enjoy! I am very happy with mine. I like it a touch salty so if you're not part of that group then cut back a little. Not too much though, you need the salt to sweat the ginger.
My wife finally found a nice recipe for corn-meal biscuits that stay moist
Please do post it Tony.
Masa's $800 COVID sushi take out.
That's one heck of a Bento box. 🙂
 
and the wasabi does not look like freshly grated root which is stunning at this price level (if not).

I agree, but I'll let you in on a secret. Right here in Vancouver where they grow some of the best, top notch rhizomes outside of Japan, it is not what you call affordable. You have to pre-order, with a down payment (yes, I said down payment) and wait a few days. I haven't looked into it for sometime as I can't fathom paying as much for a (root) as for Wagyu beef (which I also don't buy).

You know, you can get really used to that horseradish stuff. It's close enough, trust me. 🙂
 
Yes I've purchased some (at ~$50 for a small root) and it arrived not that fresh a huge disappointment considering you can buy regular horseradish at the super market and just stick it in the ground to have it fresh all the time. Grated right into a bowl it blows the doors off.

The ritual of these luxury foods has gone off to a strange but predictable place.

I think it was in Netflix "Street Food: Latin America" that I saw Moqueca Gainana.

After finding the Dende Oil (Red Palm Oil) I decided to give it a try. The oil is not particularly flavorful and probably adds color for the most part.

Lots f garlic, nice flavor over all. I probably made enough to eat for a week by myself.



I planted bunch onions last august. I am still getting them from the garden. I figure I have harvested at least $15 worth of them so far and have about half left. I am surprised they have survived the cold.

I'm not sure who Tony is, but here's the corn meal biscuit recipe:

Mix together in a medium bowl:

1c white flour
1/2c whole wheat flour
1/2c yellow corn meal
2 tbsp sugar
2-1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda

cut in
5 tbsp butter

and add
1/4c grated Parmesan

In a separate bowl whisk together
1 large egg
1 c low fat yogurt

Combine dry and wet quickly, optionally including 1/2c roasted corn kernels.
Pat on a floured board about 3/4 inch thick (the dough, not the board). Cut into rounds, put them on a greased baking sheet, bake 15-20 minutes at 400F.
 
I have been hitting the Korean food store a lot lately.

Today I decided to make Kimchi.

Or, at least what I could find on the internet that claimed to be Kimchi.

1 8# Chinese cabbage
1 large Chinese radish
1 yellow onion (Couldn't find scallions)
small ginger root
10 cloves of garlic
one tub of pepper paste
one jar of pepper flakes
1 cup salt
1/2 cup fish sauce

Lets see if it ferments. I put it in the garage where it is cool so it will ferment slowly/

It seems like a lot of salt, pepper paste and pepper flakes. Granted I don't know how big a tub of paste or jar of flakes are but it sounds like a lot. It would be a shame to go to all the work to find out you have a hard time enjoying it.

Is the cabbage Sui Choy and the radish Daikon?

You may have a hard time getting it to ferment in the fridge. I leave mine on the counter and when it's done then and only then does it go into the fridge.
