^^^ that looks awesome...can you post the recipe?

 

Yea. But not from my iPhone. Let me get to a real keyboard.

 

ok, easy. one small chicken breast. slice it thin. i put it in plastic bag and beat on it alittle bit to make it super tender. dont pulverize it put it in a bowl, splash of booze..whatever. i used rice wine. i've used whisky before. splash of soy sauce, some pepper.. set it aside

clean some veggies. regular broccoli would be awesome. i used chinese broccoli. about 8 stems worth. wash it, chop it to chopstick handling size. split the stalks so they cook at the same rate.

chop some garlic, chop some fermented black bean..mix together. slice some ginger paper thin. ok.

here we go. get a big 12" non stick hot..it should have a tsp of oil in it already. big pinch of red pepper flakes. (never heat a non stick without oil) add the ginger, and cook until the edges start to brown. toss in the chicken..cook it for a few seconds..then dump in the blackbean and garlic. ccok it until it is just about done. now dump it all into a clean bowl.

wipe out the pan(with papertowel)..add a tsp of clean oil. dump in the greens and stir fry until it is almost done. i like to speed up the process by putting a lid on it. you can add some booze now..tsp. it seems to keep the greens super green color. once you are done...add the chicken back..taste it..if it needs some add some soy..or some salt.

i dont make that corn starch slurry most chinese cooks would do..but if you wanted to..put half tsp of corn starch in a bowl..add small amount of water..wisk it with a fork..add it to the food at the end to thicken it up.

serve over rice. your salty levels may vary. play with it.

 

[/IMG]Here's one for ya. Pork Tenderloin, Blackeyed Peas, & Collard Green Gumbo.
The Pork Tenderlion was grilled along with Cajun Susage BBQ Sauce
The Collard Greens were cooked with Bacon and onions
The Blackeyed Peas were cooked with Bacon and onions also
Then cube the Tenderloin & Susage and combine all the cooked ingredients along with Chicken Stock. Cook for 10 minutes to combine.
The longer you allow this to just sit the more the flavors will marry.
Enjoy I sure do

 

X2!

 

I have made the pork shoulder before. I am going to try a different recipe this time to try to tie it into something else like soup or stew this time. There is a lot of waste on the pork shoulder so I want to eliminate that.

 

Here is like a before and after, the smoker went back since it was dented badly

Before



After

 

Nice. Looks like that meat just fell off those bones.

 

Yes it did, took over 7 hours to cook but they turned out really good. I was cooking for another chef and a once restaurant owner, who seemed to really like them so.........

 

Tried to find an emoticon for patting myself on my back..... lol

 

Haha, well good job brotha!

 

I think I am going to try this tonight

 

I am very tempted to try to pick up a second job and get back into the kitchen for a bit. I know that I havent been in the kitchen in years but I was thinking about giving it a go anyways. I just cant do it full time and I doubt I would make very much money unless I found a restaurant that would hire me as a guest chef. I have been doing my best to find something like that for a while now. The other day I ran into the owner of a Gold Country club near me and she said she was having a hard time with her chef so I gave her the hint that I would fill in if she ever needed me... we will see though.

 

Tried to make some spicy Thai noodles. Were not quite the "spicy noodles" I was looking for. Take two will happen in a few days

 

^^^ those look delicious

 

hey aficianado..props to you man, that recipe turned out great..I changed a few things up..booz of choice was seagrams 7..only kind I had

So a few shots of seagrams, soy sauce and chili paste. mixed it all up with the chicken.

oil and ginger...added the chicken and garlic and after about 45sec got this


removed chicken from the pan, wiped it clean like you said and added the oil and veggies. I added regular broccoli, a whole onion and fresh basil


It cooked for about 10 minutes with a lid and then added the chicken mixture again and let it cook for about 2 minutes..by that time it was done and I made some brown rice and poured it all over the rice.

 

Looks great everyone!! ^^^
