pork ribs & bbq sauce

2010-04-04T21:03:00.000-07:00

In an attempt to make the most amazing pork ribs and bbq sauce known to "man," i have altered my own recipe with as many relevant condiments i have in my fridge.

The BBQ sauce looks something like this:
1 onion finely chopped
5 large cloves of garlic
2 cups of catsup
3 limes (juice only, kids)
~ 3 tbs tako yaki sauce
2 tbs dijon mustard (with seeds)
Maldon salt
pepper

hotsauce 1
hotsauce 2
3 tbs Japanese pepper stuff (contains red pepper, orange peal, seaweed, black sesame seeds, ginger)

RIBS:
boiled with one vegetarian bouillon cube

[leftover lemongrass] chicken pot pie

2008-09-16T17:08:00.001-07:00

From Food I Make

I made too much lemongrass chicken the other day (sorry, no photos but it was GOOOoooODD!) tried to pawn some of it off, to no avail... you can use any leftover meat... i hate wasting food.

more about the ingredients later..

the meat from 5 legs of leftover [lemongrass] chicken (use whaChewGot)
1 sheet of pastry dough (mine was from trader joes)
5 mini red potatoes, cubed
1 jar of mushroom gravy (whole foods, but you can use any gravy, or make your own... i happen to have all these ingreditants so i was forced to figure out what to make... this is what i came up with....)
1.5 cups of veggie broth
love
celtic sea salt
fresh pepper
flour to roll out dough (or tako yaki mix, if you want to be like me)

okay, so roll out pastry dough to fit your baking jammy, oh, first thaw it for like 10. I used tako-yaki "flour" to roll out with, um, because i could... it had lots of ingredients in it including, but not limited to: dried and ground shrimp... yeah. I buttered my baking dish, but if you want, you can just use more flour and toss it in... i was concerned that it would break and leak and ... u get the idea.

The Pot Pie Filling: cube your already cooked chicken and an (approximately) equivalent amount of raw potato.

Rice Noodle Pesto Pasta with Shrimp

2008-08-07T14:17:00.000-07:00

From Food I Make

For all of you gluten intolerant foodies out there, here's my version of pesto pasta. It's made with rice noodles instead of linguini or other wheat based pastas. I didn't make my own pesto this time around, and all together it takes about 10 minutes to make, minus the rice noodle and shrimp soaking time (you dont cook the noodles like you do regular pasta).

BasilTops pre-Made Pesto
Rice Noodles (like the kind you use for phad thai)
Shrimp (i use frozen shrimp, no tails, no veins- fast & easy!!!)
Extra Virgin Olive oil
Grated Cheese
pepper

Soak Rice noodles in a bowl of room temp to luke warm water for about 15 minutes. The noodles shouldn't be soft, just make sure they're not stuff. Then, thaw pealed and de-veined shrimp or de-vein and peel fresh shrimp. Heat a large non-stick frying pan, toss in some extra virgin olive oil, the noodles, shrimp and a quarter cup of water and mix it all up. Add pesto sauce after a few minutes, and keep mixing, making sure the noodles dont stick to the non-stick pan (they will if they're too soft, and if the water has run out- add more water if the noodles aren't fully cooked, they should be soft like phad thai noodles, not mushy, and not hard). As soon as the shrimp are just cooked, your pasta is done.

Add cheese and fresh ground pepper. You don't need any extra salt. I promise.
