Pork Belly Bulgogi Tacos

Pork Belly Bulgogi Tacos

Hey, we’re back!  I know you missed us so let me fill you in very quickly.

I got a new job.  I finally work in Center City.  Yes, I am walking/biking to work.

I took a week between my last position and this current one to relax a bit and well, have a staycation.  It was well worth it.

So in other news, this recipe.  Here at ZP, we are no strangers to the pork belly.  This dish was actually not prepared in the Zennpotatoes Test Kitchen.  @ClearlyMental was gracious enough to allow me to take over his kitchen and grill to pull this one together.  Special thanks to @thisisahotjam for helping with ingredients and recipe formulation.

Leftover Grilled Rice

Leftover Grilled Rice

So did I mention that I bought in on a cow share?  Well I did.  It’s actually called Philly Cow Share and it’s pretty  sweet.  You can read all about it on their site but suffice to say, this one time investment has provided me awesome beef all summer.  I really can’t complain.  Myself and two friends split the 1/8th portion and that was 15lbs of meat, all divided up into the “known cuts”

So, since I decided to have one of the burgers and they are packaged in quanties of 4, I had 3 leftover to do something with.  Why not grill them, throw in some grilled veggies and make a compound rice full of grilled tasty things?  I didn’t have an objection either so I did it.  I might not be gourmet but it was certainly satisfying.

Crock Pot Brisket

Crock Pot Brisket

So yeah, about that vegan thing.  Well, I never said that I was going totally vegan, just that I was pursuing a vegan lifestyle when appropriate.  The beauty of being vegan-ish is that you can break from your normal routine from time to time.  I had wanted to make brisket in a crock pot for quite a while and since this recipe involved no dairy, it was a perfect meal to share with my girlfriend.  She had mentioned that brisket was something her mom made growing up and it was delicious.  Hence, this dish came together.

Slow cooking meats is sort of a white rabbit for me.  I don’t get the science behind it but I have had very good results.  The concept of taking a high fat content piece of meat and cooking it way beyond the accepted temperature of one of its less fatty counterparts (aka, ribeye, filet) and having a truly delicious and mouthwatering product is something that doesn’t get old for me.  I figured with all the stuff in this pot, I could very easily reduce it for a delicious sauce.

Pro-tip: Trust your nose on this one.  Depending on your slow cooker, the brisket may be done a bit earlier.  I’m not saying dramatically earlier, but if it’s looking / smelling right and there is an hour left, I’d check on it.  You don’t want it drying out.

Chinese Broccoli

Chinese Broccoli

We’re starting off simple for this week’s post.  It’s Monday right?  Sometimes, I want something, tasty and quick and with the least amount of effort possible.  Well I think this recipe does pretty well in those categories.  I just found chinese broccoli and the supermarket and after using it for some at home white boy cooking I thought that it would stand pretty nicely on its own.  This is a really simple side dish or could be your whole meal as well.  You can sub hoisin for the oyster sauce to make this vegan.  I was inspired by this recipe

The bottle of Hudson in the picture is where I keep my peanut sauce.

Shrimp Beef Chinese Broccoli Stir Fry

14 May
Shrimp Beef Chinese Broccoli Stir Fry

In the spirit of white-boy takeout, I decided to do a play on white-boy at home asian cooking (doesn’t roll off the tongue quite as nicely)  I can remember back when I was in college, I made a stir fry at home and thought that I was actually cooking something asian.  Oh how far off I actually was.  This time around, I tried to apply some of my cooking techniques that I learned over the years to make something really tasty.

I happened to have an entire, perfectly medium rare rib-eye sitting in my fridge that I knew I had to use.  That’s really the only shortcut I took in this recipe.  If I was starting with raw meat, I would have marinated a bit (bulgogi style) and then seared it off in the pan quickly.  Other than that, all of the steps and ingredients apply.  The chinese broccoli tastes very similar to broccoli rabe so I think it would substitute nicely.
