Hope you guys have had a lovely Christmas. The Christmas food posts are coming soon, but in the meantime, you’ll just have to cope with non-Christmas food posts. :) I am not exaggerating when I say these were the most delicious pork steaks I have ever eaten. After the first bite I ate very slowly, […]
This was a delicious rice noodle stir-fry Jac cooked, with sliced turkey steaks and pork steaks! She’d bought the turkey steaks and pork steaks fully intending to cook them up in whitey meals, but the hungry glutton she cooks for had a craving for something more Asian! She stir-fried the turkey and pork with bok […]
We had some noodles leftover from laksa night, so Jac made a two-noodle stir-fry with carrots, onions, cabbage, garlic and egg. We had a chunk of roast pork in the freezer which Jac defrosted, sliced up and threw into the stir-fry. I couldn’t believe how tender the roast pork was! I know I couldn’t believe […]
We had a long weekend here in Western Australia in September. Jac went on a trip to Margaret River with her hockey team mates while I stayed home. I’m always quite happy to be home alone. I just do my own thing, usually spending most of the weekend sitting in my study at my computer, […]
Jac panfried these pork steaks and served them with stir-fried noodles with mushrooms and cabbage, topped with pickled green chillies. We buy big jars of pickled green chillies from the asian supermarket – they are so good with so many things. Jac loves to eat them with Indomie mi goreng. If you like pickled green […]
Jac bought some pork ribs and made pork rice porridge (chok, rice congee, jook) for dinner – I was thrilled, as I love rice porridge! It’s perfect for a cold wintery day as well as being one of my all-time comforting meals (in any weather or temperature). She even fried up chopped garlic for garnish. […]
Jac used the last of the roast pork to create a dish she called a “hot Chinese-style pork salad”*. She served hot roast pork pieces in a warm soy and chilli dressing topped with beansprouts and chopped spring onion, on salad greens and carrot. She used lots of dressing so that the salad was very […]
I love bento lunches featuring leftover roast meat and vegetables (see previous post Sunday lunch of two roast meats)! I packed us both the same lunch: roast pork with apple sauce, turkey thigh roast with cranberry sauce, roasted vegetables, crackling, steamed green beans and broccoli, and a little container of gravy. This was Jac’s lunch, [&…
A few weeks ago, we had my friend Chad and her boyfriend J over for a Sunday roast lunch. Jac loves cooking for guests, and she cooked up a feast featuring two roasts and lots of vegetables. This was the roast leg of pork, complete with salty, crunchy crackling. Jac peeled the crackling off the […]
DinnerPanfried pork steaks with mushroom sauce, served with steamed broccolini, oven-roasted sweet potatoes and potato cubes, with an experimental oven-baked cauliflower and asparagus dish. Mushrooms and spring onions go extremely well with a succulent, poppingly fresh panfried pork chop. The potatoes were golden and crispy-edged and seasoned with …
