UPDATED Bun Rieu Recipe here
This is a Vietnamese soup noodle dish that features a shrimp, tomato, and tamarind flavored broth, pork meatballs with spiced minced crab meat and minced shrimp, tofu, rice noodles, and shiso leaves. Annie makes this about every 6 months, and the huge pot never lasts more than two days. It is intensely flavored, and savored to the last drop!
Aloha, Nate.
Annie made some candied walnuts using a recipe off Epicurious. We had some nice peppered salami and some gorgonzola cheese in the fridge. Just mixed it all together and dressed with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Flavorful and healthy!
Aloha, Nate
Annie picked up some fresh shiitake mushrooms the other day. She marinated them in soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, sugar, and sesame oil and steamed them for 15 minutes. Baby bok choy was steamed for 5-6 minutes.
Made a sauce from Chinese rice wine, sesame oil, salt, sugar, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and cornstarch slurry.
Arranged the plate, then garnished with a little “fatt choy” black hair fungus.
Nothing compares to fresh shiitake!
Aloha, Nate
