What did you cook or eat today (March 2023)?

[kaneohegirlinaz]

I'm in the middle of making Grandma Pizza... this is turning out to be more work then it may be worth!
We go to this neighborhood American-Italian restaurant and always order Grandma Pizza, I had no idea that this is such a big deal in New York state!

Meh
I'd make this style of Pizza again, but not with this recipe.
Far too much oil, not enough yeast, it hasn't got that nice pizza flavor.
DH only ate two pieces

and said. "Let's have a re-do using your dough recipe, there no taste to this."
It me, it's more like an oily Focaccia, not enough of anything but oil.
And here's what is burnin' my butt, I know better than to follow just one recipe for something we know we like already.
We like Grandma Pizza and when I started to "Giggle" more recipes, I see where I could do it much better.
Let me tell ya something else, that's the first time I've EVER heard DH say ... let's have a re-do!

XO fried turnip cake (Lo Bak Go made from scratch) with prawns:

 

[vernplum]

Cantonese steamed beef balls (Ngao Yuk)

The recipe for these calls for some ingredients i’ve never used before - dried tangerine peel and lye water.

They were excellent and as tasty as what you can get in a Dim Sum restaurant. Bit pale in color though - restaurant ones I’ve seen tend to be browner.

‘Golden’ Fried Rice, beef with broccoli:

So i thought to myself, what have I got to loose by turning the rice dish upside down?

And the other one...

The upside down bit is now upside down

A slice of the upside down bit

Served...

With green beans and "honey" soy tofu

The full saga is in the recipe thread. I've had no electricity all day, so I had to get creative. And yes, there is a lot, and yes I've made a note this time in my Cookbook, "doesn't serve 4, serves 12"...

 

[LissaC]

Chicken cafriela with carrot rice

 

[Yorky]

Pork chilli burger with roasted daikon radish (the radish roasting needs refining).

It looks grand.

This is called ‘Three Cup Chicken’ (San Bei Ji). Recipe from here.

I watched that video you linked a few days ago and yeah, it appears that the dough process is the hardest part. Make sure to show us your results, please!

Edit: nvmnd, I see that you did, and thank you for noting that it wasn't as good as it should be so I won't be wasting my time on this one!

Got this from a store deli section. It's pasta pesto & mozzarella salad. Too groggy to work something out for myself, my husband is eating at work today.

Also the weather is deceptive looking, it's sunny out but also well below zero.

Turned the leftover risotto from the night before last into arancini pucks:

The patty shape made them easier to shallow-fry.

I have been known to add food colouring to accentuate dishes.
