Depending on what you have at hand, maybe also add pureed garlic and/or ginger or whatever seems to be lacking. When my Thai cooking needs some help (as is usually the case) I often find a little shrimp paste adds a lot. Same for fish sauce, but the two are significantly different.

Yes, you definitely should. This is a great tip, Peter. Thank you. The Maesri green curry paste is, by far, the best store-bought version I've tried. The flavors really popped and the heat was there, too. It'll become a pantry staple around here, for sure.

Even though it'll just be the immediate family for Thanksgiving, I'm going through the ritual of making our traditional dinner (albeit, scaled down), so I've got a lot of prep and cooking ahead of me over the next couple of days. For that reason, I wanted something quick and easy tonight, so back, once again, to Thai green curry with shrimp . . .


Mise En Place & Yu Kurosaki VG10 Fujin, 210mm
Serranos, kaffir lime leaves, bamboo shoots, Maesri green curry paste, basil leaves, fish sauce, shrimp, coconut milk, chicken broth and palm sugar. Once again, I neglected to get the gapi out of the fridge until cooking was underway but at least I remembered it then. Also, not pictured here is some zucchini. A complete bastardization but I really wanted to incorporate more veg into the dinner.

Zucchini sounds like a good choice especially if put in close to the end so it doesn't get too soft. Not as bitter as the Thai eggplant, not as horrifying as b*by c*rn.

Yeah, I added the zucchini near the end and it worked out really well. It still had some firmness but managed to absorb some of the curry, too. I'd do it again without hesitation.

I don't quite feel the way she does but Helen Rosner has an insightful and provocative piece at The New Yorker this week . . .

at newyorker.com, Helen Rosner wrote:In theory, I love to cook. I’ve been reminding myself of this lately, repeating it almost like a mantra, humming the percussive, iambic rhythm of the phrase while I clatter around in the cabinets in search of whatever skillet is inevitably at the very bottom of a teetering stack of pans, or ram the blade of a knife through the stalks of yet another head of celery, or fling a handful of salt resentfully at a wholly blameless chicken. In theory, I love to cook.

To cook, as a home cook, isn’t just to cook—it’s to plan, to shop, to store, to prep, to combine, to heat, to serve. If I don’t love all those things, all the time, I can at least reliably expect a jolt of pleasure from one or two: the bland labor of chopping onion is paid for, more or less, by the rich smell of the stew as it simmers. But what I love most about cooking (in theory) is that it’s a puzzle to be solved. In its best form, cooking is a practice measured not in individual dishes but in days and even weeks—a strategic navigation of ingredients, expiration dates, uses and reuses, variety and sameness. I’m no good at chess, but in my mind the rush of realizing that the jumble of aging ingredients piled up in your fridge composes exactly what’s needed to make a beautiful dinner has to be, on some level, how Kasparov felt when he realized he was about to sock it to Topalov.

In March, when it began to seem likely that the coronavirus pandemic would lead to a serious bunker-style hiding out, I felt the expected fear and anger but also, I admit, a certain thrill at the idea of a major shift in the rules of the kitchen game. How do you make it work when you don’t know how often you’ll be able to grocery shop? In early February, I had spoken, for a story, to a couple in Shunde, China, who had somehow been composing culinary sestinas in the midst of a strict lockdown, with minimal access to fresh ingredients; following their lead, in the weeks before New York City issued its own social-distancing mandates, I started growing my own herbs, bought jars in which to put up pickles, scoured cookbooks for recipes that used nothing but pantry ingredients and yet wouldn’t feel like military rations. We would be eating paella, I informed my husband, and cassoulet, and miso soup with homemade tofu, and fresh pasta, and Niçoise salads without the lettuce. We might be prisoners in our apartment, but at least we’d eat like kings . . .

Will do. I actually have a can on hand. What do you typically make with it?

I usually just use it as a base paste for a red coconut milk curry.
1/2 can for 1 regular sized can of coconut milk + a little doctoring up with fresh chili pepper, lime leaf and such. The other half of the curry paste can goes into the freezer, and I scoop off little chunks for stir fries, fried rice, or incorporating into marinades for chicken.

I've settled on Maesri Red being my staple. I like it much more than their green.

1part Maesri, red or green. I typically use green. 2 parts yellow mustard. Use as wet rub for smoking. Grilling. Two stage hot smoke roast.

I usually go 1/1. But I like heat more than most.

Not sure we needed any more poultry after Thanksgiving dinner and the ensuing leftovers but chicken is what we had in the freezer, so that's what I made for dinner on Saturday. The twist, if you can call it that, is that it was drumsticks, not thighs.

Maesri red curry paste is a staple around here, for an easy lunch I basically follow your lead. I do use the "bhunno" technique, wonderfully detailed by sazerac here. I skim a tablespoon or two of the seperated coconut cream out of the can and fry the paste for 5 minutes or so, then I add small cubed chicken thigh, coat, then add the rest of the coconut milk and maybe a splash of stock.

The paste is fun to play with. I did a fridge-scrounge pad prik king type of dish with ground pork and green beans the other day, starting with frying the straight paste. Quite tasty. If I'm feeling ambitious I'll do a fried catfish pad prik king. I've been craving naem khao tod lately too and think I could tackle the red curry laced deep-fried rice if I could score some naem.

I found a treasure trove of different kinds of naem, all delicious and slightly different, at Talard market on Broadway a couple of months ago. I know that’s likely out of your regular path these days, but just in case you’re in the hood.

Hey, as long as you haven't gone quispy-quazy, we can still be friends!

Thinking back to my attempt at Gaeng Hung Lay last week, I really wanted to find an effective and efficient way to mitigate the amount of fat in the final dish. Before I could even begin thinking about solutions, an answer dropped into my lap by way of a recently posted video at Souped Up Recipes' youtube channel for Braised Pork Belly with Vermicelli Noodles and Napa Cabbage. The "secret," as it turns out, is blanching. Duh. Why didn't I think of that?! I guess seeing the video gave me license to try a technique that was hiding in plain sight.

In any case, the dish sounded great and with quite a bit of raw pork belly still left, I figured I'd give it a shot . . .


Braising Mise & Konosuke Fujiyama FM Blue #2 Gyuto, 210mm
The recipe calls for adding leek tops, roots and ginger to the water. Not only do they add flavor but supposedly, they also help "grab" some of the impurities that release from the belly during the blanching.


Blanching Pot
Starting with cold water and (not pictured) a splash of shaoxing wine.


Rolling
Covered pot and once it came to a boil, I removed the lid, let it bubble for another minute and then used a spider to remove everything from the pot. I also used a fine-mesh screen to remove all the gunk that had floated to the top, then poured what was left into a separator because I wanted to use that cooking water later as the base for the broth.


Mise En Place & Konosuke Fujiyama FM Blue #2 Gyuto, 210mm
Broad bean paste (subbed in for soy bean paste), garlic, star anise & Sichuan peppercorns, dried arbol chiles, soy sauce, granulated sugar, blanched pork belly, peanut oil, leafy napa cabbage, core napa cabbage and ginger & remaining sections of leek.


Caramelizing The Sugar
There is only a scant amount of sugar in the dish and it imparts virtually no sweetness. But adding it here and caramelizing it in the peanut oil, helps put some nice color on the belly.


Building The Pot
Caramelizing pork belly, adding the aromatics, incorporating the aromatics and adding the soy sauce and bean paste.


Building The Soup
Adding the strained and defatted braising liquid back, adding the core cabbage, adding the vermicelli noodles and adding the leafy cabbage. Since the core cabbage actually takes a few minutes to soften, it goes in first. The pre-soaked noodles and the leafy cabbage cook almost instantly.


Plated Up

I really liked this dish a lot. I was pleased with its richness, depth of flavor, heat and restrained amount of fat. Considering there were only five arbols and 1.5 teaspoons of Sichuan peppercorns in there, the heat and buzz were both very potent. I thought the blanching was a key step. There's no point in comparing a Thai curry to a Chinese-style soup but in my hands, this ended up being a more enjoyable use of pork belly than the Gaeng Hung Lay. That said, next time I make Gaeng Hung Lay, I'll definitely plan on blanching the belly first and see how it goes.

No, there's not a green that I like, but I've prolly only tried Maesri and that one other brand that I always see next to Maesri that ISN'T "Thai Kitchen" brand.

This got me thinkin'...I know I've seen Mexican markets that have a few piles of mole paste that you can buy and reconstitute with water or broth. Any of the little Thai-ish or Vietnamese-ish (multi-cultural Asian) markets around town have house made curry pastes? I would 119% want some. I've never really thought to check.

Maesri green...it kind of has a musty-ish taste, just IMO. Their red is much cleaner and brighter on my tongue. I typically like red more in the Thai restaurants I go to, as well. I really like both, but gravitate to red. This is making me wanna go find a tin of their green, though. I haven't had it in years.

This is also making me miss that little grocery store in the strip mall on the E side of Broadway just N of Lawrence. I haven't been there in AGES.

Very nice! Never thought to brine the thighs but I love the idea. Definitely going to try it next time, which I think may be soon.

After a couple of nights of leftovers, it was back to the old routine . . . charcoal-grilled chicken thighs! I did mix it up a bit by using some pre-made rub from a friend's company. I normally shy away from pre-made rubs but this one was pretty good.

Here's this ol nugget from my kitchen, seems like not long ago, but..I am getting OLD!
Red Curry Seebee Style

While we're talking coconut curries. I really enjoyed both cooking & eating this Indonesian-style chicken curry from always-reliable Andrea Nguyen. I cross referenced a classic James Oselund recipe as well, but I liked the more complex spice profile of Nguyen's. I had no candlenuts nor macadamias, so I skipped those. I'm fortunate that I've got a good stash of SE Asian aromatics in my freezer. I noticed poking around these and other Indonesian recipes a lack of fish sauce, despite all the other hallmark ingredients of the region.

Anyway, its a fairly straightforward prep: grind spices, food process curry paste, fry paste, add meat, simmer in coconut milk. The house was perfumed for days, good stuff. And just a rich, deep curry, it really hit the spot. It's amazing how cooking something new can add enough novelty into the routine these days and cheer everybody up.

I simmered some kale in the leftover sauce for lunch today and that was also delicious. I'm pretty much over kale these days, but it absorbed the curry wonderfully.

On Friday, all I cooked was as lowly omelet. Dinner was Week 3 of 4 of the One Off Supper Club series. So, with nothing more than a pick-up and reheat needed for that, the only thing left to cook was lunch . . .


Ham, Cheddar, Scallion and Shallot Omelet

No pics for me, thought about taking one or seven but baked potato in a Chinese restaurant style bowl is not kitchen GQ. Though fugly appearance taste was tip-top.

Big (huge) Russets, scrubbed then scraped with a knife blade to spotless. Poke a bunch of holes with the tip of a knife. Oil, kosher salt (abundant) bake at 400° until skin is crisp and interior fluffy, turning a few times.

Danish bacon from Fresh Farms Niles in small crisp pieces, chives, sour cream, butter, cheddar shredded on a box grater, onions, minced Serrano (optional), slivered radish (optional).

Place steaming hot potato in bowl, X cut, topping bar to doctor up the spud to your hearts content. I thought about adding other stuff like sauteed mushroom, Chinese sausage, ham or other types of cheese, one is only limited by their imagination, but called it a day with the above.

We ate with the neighbors, was just going to be me and Ellen but Charlie the Dog came over for a visit and they were intrigued by the concept. (Of course I had enough for 4, its just as easy to bake 5 or 6 potatoes as two. Plus they are great the next day pan fried with eggs.

They dug the simple potato transformed into meal. As did the me and the bride.

Sauteed Mushrooms, Swiss, Shallot and Chive Omelet

I'm pretty sure the mushrooms were extras that didn't find their way into our Thanksgiving dressing. I also peeled a bunch of shallots for that meal, some of which I didn't use, so I've been trying to work them in.

I know that when it comes to omelets, mushroom & swiss is kind of a cliche but hey, it's endured for a reason!

Got ahold of some dry-aged (30-45 day) NY Strips from Slagel Farms via Publican Quality Meats and decided to give it a go on the Weber. To accompany, we went with brussels sprouts, using a method I saw on Babish/youtube that I'd never tried before . . .


Brussels Sprouts
Trimmed, oiled and seasoned with salt and pepper, these are supposed to go flat-side-down the baking sheet but our sprouts were so big, we had to quarter them, thus only one of the two flat sides is down. And, of course, there's shrapnel corner, too.


Bacon
Lay strips of bacon over the sprouts. And into the oven at 425F for about 40 minutes. The method was good but not without its issues. After 40 minutes, the sprouts were done but the bacon was still flaccid. And the sprouts were swimming in an excessive pool of rendered bacon fat. I took them out and drained/blotted them, while returning the bacon to the oven for another few minutes, until it was crispy.


Dry-Aged, Bone-In NY Strips
They smelled great, really mineraly and funky, just as I'd expect of dry-aged beef. I guess, from the description on PQM's website, these can be aged anywhere from 30-45 days.


Bacony Brussels Sprouts
In the end, with some on-the-fly adjustments, these turned out pretty good. The sprouts were tender and tasty and with some extra time in the oven, the bacon did eventually get crispy.


Plated Up
NY strip, brussels sprouts and leftover sauteed mushrooms. The steaks had nice flavor but surprisingly, were somewhat tough and sinewy. This isn't what I typically expect from dry-aged beef. These certainly had good flavor throughout the chew but the chew lasted way too long!

Had a ~3-pound hunk of boneless leg of lamb in the freezer, leftover after my recent attempt at birria, so decided on a nice, easy Sunday braise . . .

Leafy celery, celery root, fresh thyme & sage, dried Greek oregano, salt, black pepper, whole garlic, yellow onion, white onion, red wine, evoo, lamb, crushed garlic and carrot. Not pictured (seems like I'm always leaving something out lately) are two bay leaves.


Chop, Chop, Chop
Getting more familiar with the kiritsuke. Not surprisingly, it wedged a bit on the carrot but otherwise, it was an efficient run.


Braising Vessel
After searing the meat and browning the onions + crushed garlic in evoo, I sweated the rest of the veg, and everything went back into the pot, along with the wine. This braised at 275F for ~3 hours. At that point, the meat was fork tender, so I removed it, and strained and separated the braising liquid. With the fat removed, I reduced the liquid, added back the strained veg (minus the bay leaves and herb stems) and pureed it all with a stick blender. That made for a thick and very flavorful sauce.

Not sure what to call this, maybe pan fried rice cake with tuna and cheese. On a zero waste program, or as close as I can get, had leftover (from fried rice yesterday) white rice and chopped veg. Mixed in good tuna with oil, couple of eggs, s/p, chili flakes, splash of Valentina, drizzle of fish sauce, veg and aromatics with shredded cheddar. Too loose for individual patties so I pan fried in one big old cake. Did the platter flip routine.

Turned out surprisingly well, canned tuna takes on a light sweetness when cooked, I often do a riff on an M Hazan recipe with tuna, red onion and crushed tomato. Even the bride liked it, then again it did not contain lizard fish.

I went to the 99 Only store in Tucson recently. I purchased an 8 oz of yellowfin tuna packed by Phillip's Food from Baltimore.

https://www.phillipsfoods.com/products/ ... wfin-tuna/

The price was $2.99/ 8 oz container. This is a first rate product and is solid white tuna meat and is the best prepackages seafood product that I have seen.

I have to see if they have any more.
