Last night for dinner I made bucatini con salsa salsiccia alla arrabiata.



This morning I prepped shuba but with chicken. So instead of "herring under a fur coat it's "chicken under a fur coat" or chuba ????




I bought some vereniki and pelmeni when I was last at Kachka Lavka. So we'll have that too. Ukraine dinner. No pisdec!

Laap muu again with veggies but this time I made nam prik kung. It's a nam prik but with shrimp. Few ways to do it. You can slow roast almost dry whole shrimp in the oven or you can quickly cook peeled shrimp or use dried whole shrimp. Either way y pound them with the other ingredients to make the nam prik. I use dried whole shrimp and further pan roasted then put in spice grinder briefly so as to keep it kinda chunky. Then pounded it with the rest. Made nice chunky nam prik.

There's another kind I wanna try called nam prik kapi. Way too funky to take to work. It calls for kapi which is shrimp paste that you spastic for a few minutes. Maybe on my days off.

My wife won't eat veal so I haven't made any in a while. It's even hard for me to sell a lamb dish in the house. Fucking forget about goat. Haven't had tacos de chivo in years.

Third attempt at the funky korean cabbage. This time I added buchu, water dropwort, saeujeot, and an asian pear. Gonna let this shit get extra ripe.

Looks like a proper kimchi. The shrimp should do what the lack of fish sauce would do unless you added fish sauce too.

Both fish sauce and shrimp, a la Maangchi.

Puya chilis garlic galangal salt lemongrass and just a bit of fish sauce all pounded together in my Thai granite mortar. Then over low heat for about 45-1 hour you slowing stir it around and cook off any and all moisture until you have this dehydrated chunky mix. Great on everything including fruit.

Fish sauce ribs and veggie noodle stir fry. Pretty much that lunch thing I posted above a week or so ago. Def a keeper. Thai Chinese fusion.
