I made the lettuce wraps today! Only thing I did different was added chopped up water chestnuts and then topped each wrap with a lil crunchy chili garlic sauce. Yummy! Thanks for showing us this super simple meal!
@rhettbutler2405 Жыл бұрын
We did the lettuce wraps this weekend just as instructed, and we really enjoyed it. But we did agree something was missing, and it was the water chestnuts like you mentioned. It was much better once we added those. I like your idea of chili garlic sauce, so I'll try that next time. Thanks for that recommendation!

@@user-od4op6ng9yI think calling the garden fabulous made it go over better. Shows some authenticity. Pro home cooked even ❤️ the comment. You are correct though, please is especially important with those you arent closesly related or friends. But I read the comment like a friend would speak to another friend, gently suggesting a garden tour, followed by a genuine complement signaling desire and excitement at the prospect. But I am wrong for assuming that as you cannot type the way one speaks, so the only way to fully know someone is truly being kind is if they follow generally accepted courtesies, in this case, please forgive my kong winded reply. You are awesome.

Mushroom tip: I learnt from a mushroom farmer. Prep mushroom how you need them. Place them in a pot and fill it half way up the mushrooms. Bring to the boil and cook the water down till all has evaporated. Place oil or butter in the pot to brown and flavour. You only need a small amount as the mushroom have been cooked and not going to absorb all the fat. Hope someone finds this useful. Its the only way now I cook my mushrooms.

Tip from a Spaniard: frying the best slices of a 200$ jamón is not the best idea. It get's very salty and the flavor changes a lot. The thin nice slices are usually eaten as is and the harder, worst parts of the leg (near the bone for example) are cut into very small pieces and used like in the video Anyone can do what they want with their ham, but that's the way we get the most out of it in Spain

Oh, I also make a beet sauce. I blend drained canned beets with siracha, garlic and olive oil. After mixing the pasta in the beet sauce, I top with feta cheese, lemon juice and dill. I got the idea from this lady who has a show on the BBC. The color is impressive. The BBC lady used fresh cooked beets of course but I’ve been happy with canned beets-much easier. Edit: this was supposed to be another pasta sauce idea for the person who can’t eat tomatoes. I accidentally posted it as a main comment

My Mom has a five ingredient meal that my brother, when he was very young, called 'Dog Food'. He asked Mom to make it so often, the name stuck. It is chicken, a can of corn, ramen noodles (without the seasoning packet), and cream of mushroom soup thinned with milk. The name my family has for it might be off putting, but it is very tasty. And yes, my Mom thought it up in the 1980s.

Cheat code - freeze the tofu, thaw it and press it wrapped in a dish towel to remove excess moisture. Then cube it for the recipe. The flavors of the aromatics and sauce will absorb throughout the sponge-like holes that are created by freezing the tofu.
