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!
We went here on the recommendation from some friends of ours that this was the place to go for good, Hong Kong-style noodles.
First up, Soy Sauce Chicken with Rice. Daniel enjoyed this dish so much, he almost ate all of the rice! When we tasted it, we knew why. The sauce had the perfect balance of sweet and savory
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!
Annie cooked this wonderfully rich and flavorful chicken jook the other day. Besides boiling chicken for stock, she also used dried scallops for extra flavor. Short grain rice was used instead of our normal jasmine rice, for added body. Finally, a couple of century eggs were chopped and added to the dish before serving.
