Don't get me started on cranberry/apple sauces!

Thats a little different as they are not cooked with them. You have the option to add cranberry or apple sauce to the plated dish or not. Being cooked with them removes the choice.

WTF!

Fire roasted Tarantula.

They actually taste very nice. Sometimes the abdomen contains gu that squirts as you bite into it. The gu itself tastes ok, but if the squirt catches you out......

Oh dear, bit of the old colonial mentality happening in here...

Might just do something for this one.

Mmmmm - off to set a couple of Huntsman traps.

Have 4 books in front of me, all of which have good dishes. Just need to decide. May re-do a couple of recent meals :
Pork with Aubergine
Amok trey

In for a penny in for a pound....I'll kick off with my dinner from tonight.

Stir fried beef with lemon grass, chilli, garlic and coriander with a hot, soy, sugar and fish sauce dressing served with Jasmine rice.

Bit pushed for time this week, so not quite what I intended to do (and it is a bit of a cheat). Even so nice and simple and very tasty.

I smell some inter-house rivalry cooking going on here from the last two posts?

First attempt at documenting it PH cooking competition style (so forgive me if i'm off mark)

Ohn-No Khaukswe (Burmese Chicken Coconut Soup) (adapted from a Madhur Jafferey recipe)

Ingredients



Ingedients prepared (rough, roasted chilli powder made from some dried birds eye chillis we picked up in Portugal last year & some crispy fried shallots to garnish and provide some texture)

On the plate (well in the bowl!)

Looks good croakey!

[croakey]

Thanks

Tasted gorgeous, a good balance between the quite sour heat and the sweet coconut milk, made something that sounds quite boring "chicken soup" into something delicious

However I won't be consuming it on a school night again...as whilst I love satanically hot food, it doesn't love me

Feel the burn!
