Tuna Steak with Sesame Crust

July 9, 2020July 8, 2020 ~ James Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

I recently managed to get a doctors appointment, which is something I have been irresponsibly lacking for a long time. One of the things that came up was I have rather unhealthily high cholesterol. So in the future I'm going to be adjusting my habits and diet to try to get that under control. Less … Continue reading Tuna Steak with Sesame Crust

Pork Lo Mein Hong Kong Style

July 8, 2020July 8, 2020 ~ Jim Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

We had some left-over pork shoulder in the freezer and I wanted to use it up. I decided I was hungry for some Chinese food since we are up here in Northern Wisconsin far away from any decent Chinese food. I wanted something I could do totally in the wok without needing to make rice... … Continue reading Pork Lo Mein Hong Kong Style

Kalbi (Korean Barbequed Beef Ribs)

May 26, 2020May 26, 2020 ~ Jim Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

Made this last night for a Memorial Day cookout. Korean-style short ribs can be found at most Asian markets. The cut, also known as "flanken," refers to a strip of beef cut across the bone from the chuck end of the short ribs. Unlike American and European-style short ribs, which include a thick slice of … Continue reading Kalbi (Korean Barbequed Beef Ribs)

Sweet and Sour Pork

April 30, 2020April 27, 2020 ~ Jim Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

From when I first started eating Chinese food, I really liked Sweet and Sour Pork. Unfortunately Laura does not share my feelings about this dish. She does not like the sweetness, nor the vinegary tang. But I had not had it in a long time and we had some leftover pork from some pork chops … Continue reading Sweet and Sour Pork

Tom Yum Goong

April 12, 2020April 9, 2020 ~ Laura Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

Rated one of the Top Ten Soups in the world. The weather here in Southern Oregon has been gorgeous the past couple of days, normally too perfect for soup but I'm feeling a bit puny, wanted something tasty, you know, spicy and fortifying. Jim immediately responded with suggestion of Tom Yum soup. Long story short … Continue reading Tom Yum Goong

Egg Foo Young

March 26, 2020March 25, 2020 ~ Jim Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

We made this last night. It had been a while since we made it last and it tasted really good. Ingredients: Egg Foo Young 6 eggs 1 can mushroom pieces 2 cups bean sprouts 1 medium yellow onion, coarsely chopped 4 scallions, chopped 2 tablespoons dry sherry 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1/2 teaspoon white pepper … Continue reading Egg Foo Young

Korean Fried Chicken

March 3, 2020March 3, 2020 ~ Jim Kirkley ~ 1 Comment

Double frying the chicken after coating it with corn starch makes a super crispy crust. For this recipe to taste right, there is no real substitute for the gochujang paste. It is easily obtainable in any Asian supermarket, however. You can substitute Balsamic vinegar for the Chinese vinegar. Keep your gochujang and your sesame oil … Continue reading Korean Fried Chicken

Egg Roll (Deconstructed)

February 21, 2020February 20, 2020 ~ Jim Kirkley ~ 1 Comment

I was reading a post on Reddit about cabbage. Someone was asking what can you do with it besides make coleslaw. Many reditors responded that roasting it is a good way to go. One post suggested making a 'egg roll in a bowl', which got me thinking. I had half of a head of cabbage … Continue reading Egg Roll (Deconstructed)

Korean-Style Grilled Short Ribs

February 8, 2020February 6, 2020 ~ Jim Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

Made these last night along with Roasted Cauliflower with Garlic and Gochujang and Tomatoes. Grilled some scallions along with the ribs. Ingredients: 1 1/2 pounds beef short ribs, flanken-style, about 1/2-inch-thick 1/3 cup sake 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1 cup soy sauce 4 scallions, white parts and 2 inches of green parts only, finely chopped … Continue reading Korean-Style Grilled Short Ribs

Vadouvan Curry Chicken

February 4, 2020February 4, 2020 ~ Laura Kirkley ~ 1 Comment

Yes we found this curry spice based on our son's (James) recommendation. First found it at a very posh and pricey shop in Portland, Oregon. This French-inspired curry is a roasted oniony, earthy, garlicy, and a tiny hit of eucalyptus blend. I use it with poultry, seafood, and vegetable dishes.  Also you should use this … Continue reading Vadouvan Curry Chicken
