What Kind Of Meals Are You Guys Making Now?

[Captante]

Cheese is life man...feel sorry for you

No worries ... The one positive thing I can say about this topic is that I really don't like any dairy-products beyond a splash of whole-milk in my coffee or the occasional bowl of ice-cream. (for some reason the ton of sucrose in most ice-cream seems to allow me to better digest it)

Just picture whatever food you happen to seriously not like for a moment ... would it bug you to never eat it again?

Soup, stews, and noodles are my comfort food. I always have some beef bone broth in my freezer. I make big batches and freeze it. I know my broth. You have to do it the old fashioned way and simmer the beef bones for hours. Don't try to cheat and use instant pot because that won't cut it. You'll end up with weak tasting inferior bone broth. Trust me, I've tried multiple times with instant pot. It makes inferior weak broth.

Here's when I made batch of beef bone broth for rice cake and dumpling soup.

I use my vintage Rival crock-pot unless I need a truly huge quantity -OR- have a really huge carcass leftover like a big turkey. 1-1.5 hours on "high" then 24-48 hours (sometimes even longer) on low-simmer. Comes out great every time!

I did try using my IP to make broth a couple times when I first got it and I agree the results were less then gratifying. However if you have one that doubles as a slow-cooker it should be fine. (mine doesn't) If not however, you ARE better off using a stove-top no doubt.

Today's lunch is collard greens.

grilled flank steak with side of green beans, dandelion salad, and collard greens soybean paste soup.

dandelion salad

soybean paste soup with collard greens, tofu, and mushroom

raw collard greens wrap

steamed collard green wrap

I recommend steamed collard greens for wrap. Raw is sweet and ok but steamed taste better and is easier to chew and swallow.

Looks really good especially the soup ... also what's in that salad dressing?

Time for lunch!

(having some fairly decent shrimp-tacos but nothing like THAT spread lol)

fish sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, ground red pepper, sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds, green onions, garlic. It's basically variation of this lettuce salad.

It's explosion of flavor in your mouth. umami and salty from the fish and soy sauce, sour from vinegar, sweet from sugar, spicy from red pepper, and bitter from dandelion. It's perfect spring salad and goes great with any type of grilled meat.

I've had flank steak at brazillian restaurants and its been some of the best food ever.
I've never made it myself.

My grandma's recipie for it is not good tastes like burnt brick of charcoal, soy sauce, and salt.

Do you marinate it?
Do you tenderize it with a mallet?

Just curious as i have a good butcher shop near me, and now Im craving some collard greens with a big pile of flank steak on the side for some reason.

I marinate it but do not tenderize it with mallet. I posted my marinade recipe early in this thread. I make this all the time and it's great.

I use orange juice as base of the marinade with small dash of soy sauce added to give some umami flavor. I also add juice from one lime. You basically want enough orange juice to cover and submerge the flank steak.

I use one medium onion sliced and one bunch of cilantro. What I do is get a container and layer the bottom with sliced onion and cilantro. Then I pour in some orange juice, soy sauce, lime marinade. Then I place the flank steak. I usually lightly season the flank steak with Montreal Steak seasoning but you can use favorite steak rub of your choice or just salt and pepper.

Then I layer another layer of sliced onions and cilantro on top of the flank steak and pour more of the marinade on top. Basically repeat this step until you use all the flank steak, onion, and cilantro. Pour the rest of the marinade and make sure the meat is fully submerged in the marinade. You can place plastic wrap on top of the marinade to remove some air so the marinade can work better. I usually marinate the flank steak the night before and grill in the morning.

Will be going shopping tomorrow ... all I need is the green onions.

I'm thinking grilled/roasted salmon or tuna with this ... possibly chopped with a little spicy mayo!

Where the heck did you find enoki mushrooms that big???

That is a different mushroom.

Japanese enoki are thin and small. Chinese enoki are bigger and these are called seafood mushroom. It's still enoki family and variety. There's huge Korean and Asian population in Atlanta so there are many large Korean grocery stores all over metro Atlanta. You can find it at Nam Dae Mun, H-Mart, MegaMart, and Buford Farmers Market. You can pretty much find anything at Nam Dae Mun. Stuff you can't find at normal grocery stores like Kroger and Whole Foods.

Sounds good. It should pair great!

burger was today's lunch. Others are stuff I ate last week.

 

[ponyo]

For dinner I wanted something light and something that would cut and neutralize the grease of the heavy burger I ate for lunch. So ate mul-naengmyeon (cold noodles in chilled broth). For dessert, had cup of coffee and mint flavored Turkish delight (Lokum). So happy and content right now.

I went through a sausage & kraut phase last year. Johnsonville has some pretty good packaged ones, and Real Garlic kraut was my favorite (didn't care for most of the others). It's funny how some foods are super consistent (like pretty much all bacon is decent) while others have a huge spectrum from super mediocre to jaw-droppingly delicious. I've learned to reserve judgement on food until I've tried a bunch of different samples to see if I really, truly don't like it or if I was just exposed to a bad example multiple times. Like I was never an overly huge fan of the whole "summer sausage" thing because most of them weren't even as good as a Lunchable lol, but I recently had a Hungarian winter sausage & it was like melt-in-your-mouth amazing!

we used to have this Polish Delicatessen here and they had a great assortment of cold meats/sausages etc...

They sold this amazing summer sausage but I can't remember who made it. It had just the right amount of sour bite unlike the more popular brand. I really miss it.

I've pretty much settled on Kiolbassa for beef smoked sausage, Kirkland brats, and Hebrew National beef hotdog.

today's lunch: kimchi dumplings soup. Steamed dumplings, rice cakes, and flanken cut beef short ribs added to beef bone broth. Out of this world good.
