SueF is gone for a week, so it's Bachelor Chow time again.
First night, something she wouldn't eat -- cucumbers and raw tomatoes are not her favorites. Add a sweet bell and basil, (all four veg from the garden), mozzarella balls, evoo and chive blossom-infused vinegar, s&p, and some garlic bread.
Second night went out to eat.
Night 3 is something she'd be jealous not to be here for:
* Bulgogi-glazed skirt steak (tare I made last year with garlic and chile powder added)
* kimchi (jarred)
* shishitos [garden] with a sauce I made last week for another batch (keypie mayo, miso, chives [garden], sesame oil, I forget what else)
* Korean-marinated tomatoes [garden] from a NYT recipe (vinegar, gochugaru, sesame oil, fish sauce, garlic, chives [garden], sugar). Didn't like this much: sesame oil and tomato didn't taste right to me.
* Japanese-inspired
elotes -- this was awesome, need to work on how to get it to stick to the corn
Here's what I put in the J-lotes (1 serving)
1 tsp butter, melted (it was going to be more, but the science oven blew it all over the place)
1 tsp kewpie mayo (probably need more of this less miso)
2 or 3 tsp white miso
1 tsp chives [garden]
1/2 tsp black sesame seeds
Yes, that's a lot to eat, almost half the steak is sliced up for lunch tomorrow.
