08-18 Sukiyaki

Pronounced "skee-ya-kee"
This is the dish where we put all the raw ingredients on the table with the electric wok and cook and eat them as they are ready. But you can make one serving using your cast iron skillet on the stove.
Start rice in rice cooker. Then beginning preparing your vegetables - any or all of the following:
thinly sliced zucchini or yellow squash
thinly sliced or julienned carrot
thin onion rings
thinly sliced sweet potato
green onion
bean sprouts
etc.
Then prepare:
cubed tofu or tempeh
thin sliced beef - top sirloin or "shabu shabu" or pork

Heat skillet over high heat, add a bit of sesame oil or beef fat.
Sprinkle pan with 1T sugar, then when its melted, add 2-3 T shoyu (soy sauce).
Cook raw meat first, do not over cook. Remove and place on plate with cover.
Then add in veggies and tofu. They will cook quickly, add to covered plate.

Water from the veggies will dilute the sauce so add a little bit of sugar and/or shoyu as needed.

Traditionally you eat a raw egg on top of a bowl of rice and place your veggies and meat on top.
But you can just serve them on the rice since you don't know where your eggs came from. =)

Nordic curry

This is a mild anytime curry.  Takes 10-15 minutes. The original (dairy) sauce is from Magnus Nilsson. I double the sauce so there's plenty. Especially because I like to add vegetables and proteins. I always add the apples, sometimes skip the onion. Leftover roasted root vegetables tasted great. Regular supermarket yellow curry powder is perfect. Serve it over rice or with naan. Be generous with the salt and pepper.  Melt 4 T butter over medium heat in a sauté pan (wide, shallow).  Sprinkle in 4 T yellow curry powder and stir to combine.  Add 1-2 tart apple (Granny Smith), cored and chopped or cubed & 1 onion, finely chopped. When apples and onion are softened, sprinkle them with 2 T flour . Stir to evenly coat all.  Add 1 1/2 c heavy cream OR coconut cream , slowly, a bit at a time, whisking constantly to keep lumps at bay. When smooth, add in 1 1/2 c milk OR coconut milk in the same manner. Allow to begin to bubble and thicken before serving. Season gen...

Berry Birthday Tart

  Birthday Berry Tart I was intimidated watching bake-off and professionals make tarts but it turns out making a fruit tart is do-able! After looking at a few different recipes, I came up with this version to pack more flavors into the tart shell, which turned out tasting great, thankfully :) Take your time. Watch different videos about technique if you are needing more tips. It is not a quick process. The components can be made the day ahead which is helpful if you have the warning.   You can also use this recipe to make about 8 mini tarts   Paté Sucre Sweet tart dough for shell This makes enough dough for a large 11” tart - use less for smaller pans,   it can be stored in freezer for a couple months. If you don’t have a tart pan, I used a springform so I could still have the shell exposed Some recipes suggested a pie dish. Crumble together with fingers, pastry blender or paddle on mixer - briefly  - work quickly- do not melt the butter with fingers or friction...
