I felt like having been run through the wringer yesterday. Dizzy, wobbly, queasy, tired – you name it. And hungry as hell, so I made these. The recipes requires only a few ingredients, almost no work and a minimum of supervision. Oh, and it’s yummy.
Sous Vide Duck Breast with Red Wine Reduction
Personal Udon
I was forbidden to eat for two days due to a medical examination that I had to take. Thereafter, I was not so much starving (I weigh 100 kg – I’m sure I won’t starve that soon), but I was craving. I had an enormous appetite for noodles, so I grabbed all the remainders I had in the fridge and made my “personal Udon”. Easy, yummy and (any possible asian readers please forgive me) not in any way traditional:
Yesterday Evening’s Beef Shank in Wine Sauce with Mushrooms
I’ll undergo a medical examination where I must not eat for one day in advance. So I treated myself with a grubby and substantial meal the evening before. Here is it:
White Wine and Mushroom Pasta
This is my white wine and mushroom pasta recipe. Easy to make and very delicious. I like to use dried mushrooms for this since they’re more flavourful than the fresh ones. And please do ignore my messy kitchen.
Chinese-style Bacon: Part 3
I took the bacon out of the drying box today and did a little taste-test. It tastes absolutely great, though absolutely nothing like the bacon the classically skilled western european ist used to. It is very dry on the outside, yet juicy and soft enough on the inside to be yummy.
Asian Stir-Fry Sauce
Turns out, the marinade for the chinese bacon experiment is a legit hammer-stir-fry-sauce: I didn’t want to pour it away because it smelled so aromatic, decent and savoury. So I boiled it up to kill off any probably existing bacteria from marinating.
Then I stored it in the fridge and used it as a sauce for my evening dinner stir fry (just as you would use teriyaki sauce or similar). Recommendation!
Chinese-style Bacon: Part 2
I am that pissed. Yesterday my wife started her ride into her holidays to the northern germany refuge, visiting her sister and going to relax a little… and I am stuck here having to work and stand to attention, right in the middle of summer… 🙁 Whatever. Here’s the chinese bacon progress so far:
