Spicy Tuna Bowl

Spicy Tuna Bowl

This is a quick & easy one because I forgot today is Friday and this is all I have time to write up. Fun! Anyway, it still tastes real good to your mouth.

The kimchi furikake in the recipe is another version of the stuff I talked about last week. The kimchi stuff contains dried Chinese cabbage, chilis, shallots, onions, ginger, garlic, chives, carrots, radish, sesame seeds, turnip greens, wasabi, seaweed & etc. Lots of stuff going on there but it is nowhere near as complex, pungent or spicy as the real deal. Adds a nice contrasting element to the sweetness of the teriyaki-style glaze, though.

Takeout Spicy Salmon

Takeout Spicy Salmon

When I started to seriously get into cooking, I mostly taught myself by recreating my favorite takeout dishes. It was a low risk, high reward way to figure things out. So other day when I had a craving for some White Boy Special (General Tso’s Chicken w/ pork fried rice) I decided to check what I had available and make it at home instead. After checking my fridge, I switched it up and did a General Tso’s/chili black bean/Sichuan-style thing.

Ruckus Sammich

Ruckus Sammich

I had more noodles lines up for all y’all but seeing as how today is 4/20, here’s the druggiest recipe I had in the archives. I’m calling it a “Ruckus Sammich” because much like the Wu-Tang Clan, it is chock full ofdistinct flavors all jockeying for prominence while at the same time coming together in a harmonious whole. This sandwich ain’t nuthin’ to fuck wit.

(N.B. It is unlikely you have all the ingredients listed in the recipe at hand. Substitutions are noted, but each will impact the overall flavor, which is carefully balanced lest it become an incoherent pile of slop. No substitutions have been listed for certain ingredients e.g. the peanut butter powder and Chinese raisin bread because the alternatives–peanut butter and domestic raisin bread, respectively–have much stronger flavors than those called for in the recipe. Basically, not sure how useful this recipe will be to anyone but here it is anyway.)

Japanese Roast Pork Sandwich

Japanese Roast Pork Sandwich

This recipe seems elaborate, but it was actually the result of a bunch of leftovers from other recipes. The pork butt was purchased for porchetta (at work), the dashi, pork skin jus & Japanese mustard greens for pork ramen (at my leisure). Looking at these ingredients, I decided to give a classic Philly sandwich a try: roast pork & bitter greens on a seeded roll. The flavor profile has shifted East and theĀ provolone has been omittedĀ in favor of a slightly richer, more flavorful gravy for the pork but this is otherwise pretty straightforward. Totally satisfying lunch.

N.B. The pork skin jus is an adaptation from The Art of Living According to Joe Beef: A Cookbook of Sorts. For my money, it was the best cookbook released in 2011 and it has been a great source of inspiration in the kitchen.
