Tax Day! What Are You Cooking To Celebrate?
Comments (28)We use the preserved vegetable also. We also never rinse. DH uses it in his stir-fry pork dish w/o green beans also. I will link to the brand that we buy. As jkom says you don't use any ginger etc in this traditional dish. In the book The Good Food of Szechwan by Delfts there is a traditional recipe . It is Gan-bian Si-ji-dou. The beans are called "four season beans" and are longer than our traditional beans. You do first deep fry the beans. There is no sauce to speak of. Here is his recipe: 1 1/2 # four season or regular green beans 3-4 dried shrimp 2 Tbsp finely chopped Szechwan vegetable 1/4 # pork 2 Tbsp. finely chopped green onion Wash and dry beans and cut into 2-3 " lengths. Chop shrimp finely. Chop vegetable, pork and green onion. In a bowl mix seasoning: 2-3 Tbsp soy sauce 2-3 Tbsp rice wine 1 1/2 tsp sugar 1 tsp salt 3 Tbsp water 2-3 Tbsp sesame oil 1/2 to 1 c oil for deep frying Heat oil in wok and deep fry beans in batches and allow oil to get back to heat in between batches. Beans should be wrinkled, crackled and soft and dark. Remove all but 2-3 Tbsp oil when beans done. Heat over high heat and stir fry pork til beginning to brown. Add the chopped vegetable, and shrimp. Heat throughly. Add the beans now cont to toss and all all seasoning mix. Stir. Add the green onion now. Cont .to cook til all liquid gone. Serve hot. Please post pics when you make this ! When DH next makes it I will also. Will be fun to compare notes. c Here is a link that might be useful: Preserved vegetable....See MoreHappy Pi Day!
Comments (14)When Pi day is a school day, you should see the pies that stack up in the school office, waiting to be picked up for math classes! Despite being a decidedly mathy kid, DS16 slept in past 9:26. We did have quiche for brunch (also a Frenchy kid). And for dinner, since he has involvement with Sweeney Todd, we having Shepherd's Pie (not "peppered with actual shepherd"). Or perhaps chicken pot pie, with chicken, not cowards. Also watching the movie (with Angela Lansbury and, believe it or not, Neil Patrick Harris!) And French Silk pie for dessert. And a long long walk tomorrow to work it all off....See MoreHappy Pi Day!
Comments (6)And a happy Pi day right back to you. This is actually round Pi Day, since it's Pi rounded to 3.1416 (3-14-16). So any round pie is most appropriate!...See MoreApproaching pi day ... any plans?
Comments (23)Sephia - LOVE that pi! So simple in concept but beautifully executed. Jane - See the pie immediately above your post. Pi - π - 3.14… March 14 Thanks to the song my daughter can recite pi out 100 digits. Although I haven’t heard her do it in a while so she may need to brush up. I really want to make a jalapeno apple pie but I’m the only one who would eat it yet I can’t eat it - no sweets for Lent. So I may have to use my creativity on a savory pie of some sort....See More
