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:
Chinese-style Bacon: Part 1
So I accidentally watched this video on YouTube (see below ↓) and immediately decided to try that chinese bacon recipe. Watch the video and ask again why I wanted to try this… 🙂 I have absolutely no clue how this will work out, so follow here for updates if you like! What I did is this:
Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe
Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe is a classic italian dish and I wanted to see if I’m able to produce a decent version of it. I’m a garlic junkie, so I added garlic, which is not at all original. The trick of mixing the cheese with the noodles and creating a nice even coat is not so easy, but it works and the result ist delicious.
Fried King Oyster Mushrooms with Spinach and Polenta
This is what I made for lunch today. Very delicious, but a little work to do. It’s indeed three separate but as such simple dishes to make, but with a little dedication it’s no problem:
Ingredients for 2:
500 g spinach, fresh
2 cloves garlic
1 shallot
6-8 king oyster mushrooms (depending on size)
125 g polenta
salt & pepper to taste
Wakame Udon – a little messed up
I wanted to try and make Wakame Udon for lunch today, which originally consists of udon noddles in broth, topped with wakame seaweed (and perhaps with an additional sprinkle of spring onion). But I ended up using everything I found left over in the kitchen and I thought would fit in. This includes:
