I was quite busy this week, so I am posting my restaurant outing from this week in this thread. It was amazing! I'm currently diving into Chinese cuisine, which is not something I have done before. Having Indonesian roots myself doesn't mean I'm automatically familiar with all Asian cuisine of course. And wow, I am having a blast discovering Chinese food! It's amazing. I was treated to a Dim Sum lunch by my friend as a belated birthday present. We're going back to this restaurant to celebrate our marriage anniversary because it was so good! (our five year anniversary is on november 13th).

Shanghai soup with siken tofu

Lovely chicken spring rolls

Mushroom dumplings

Amazing scallion pancakes

Lotus seed paste buns

Sweet custard buns

We also had prawn dumplings, pork bao and fried bread but we forgot to take pictures because we were talking so much. It was a day to remember!

I finally found the missing ingredient I needed to start cooking authentic Chinese food at home, I had a lot of trouble getting Shaoxing wine where I live but I finally aquired it and proceeded to make this recipe:
Vegetable Chow Fun I used veg I had available and added chicken. My husband said it tasted better than Chinese take away lol

Hello. Setting up the new garden shed before the snow flies. A one pot, comfort food supper. Chicken and dumplings.

I'm planning to fire up the grill (BBQ), set it up for smoking, and do a little somethin' tonight. I have everything set up, and as long as it doesn't rain, I'm ready to go.

It's rather chilly outside (46F/8C), so it should be pleasant for grilling/smoking.

I just now put two huge Ham Hocks in the Instant Pot® covered in water to cook for 45 minutes.

I'll finish it up tomorrow as Split Pea Soup.

This recipe made me think of your Chicken & Yellow Rice. Do you think that sub-ing a pound of ground beef for the chicken would work?
