What was for dinner?

[JCR33]

Just finished dinner.

I cooked roasted crispy belly of pork, cantonese style. My first attempt, recipe from internet...

Fairly simple to do, took 20 mins to marinate the pork after poking the skin with sharp pins and let it dry for 5 hours. Roasted for 50 mins with lots of salt covering the skin. Another 20 mins with salt removed. Allow meat to cool before cutting...

Working night shifts at the moment and too lazy to cook. Sushi from the local takeaway for me.

Risoni al pollo. Yummo.

Roast Lamb , roast potatoes, pumpkin and sweet potato, steamed broccoli and red cabbage, Lamb juice and red wine gravy...Yummy!

Chilli and lime salmon and salad, with a McGuigans Verdelho, prepared by my "girlfriend"; a meal like that (I love salmon) prepared by someone who almost is as good a cook as my late wife, Dawn (who was perhaps slightly more creative) combined with candles, Natalie Cole on the stereo and half a bottle of wine in the bloodstream is apt to make one rather sentimental, nostalgic and indeed, sad and happy at the same time.

Selling her short, I'm told; It's chilli and lime salmon on potato, butternut pumpkin and spring onion mash, and Ceaser salad. She's a lot more direct than Dawn was! Thank goodness I paid for the wine!!!

Hi Bunyip,

Thanks!

The taste is fairly close to the commercial ones, except the skin is not as light and crispy, need more practice.

I love pork belly too, usually cook them with dark soy sauce and a bit of rock sugar, ginger and garlic. Pan fry the meat to seal the surface and add ingredients for 20 min, add chicken stock or water to simmer until sauce is thickened.

Again cook meat in long strips. Cut them to pieces and serve with boiled white noodles, add a few of table spoon of the thickened sauce.

Hi Keith and Jespert,

Looks like you guys had a feast. The chicken rice look really awesome, especially the rice. Any recipe to share?

How do you find the chicken here? Too soft for a good chew?

Wow, I have a feeling this thread is going to be a keeper.

Jaspert - I just drooled all over my keyboard.

JCR - You've inspired me, I might try it next weekend. Saturday night is my night to cook dinners in the Bunyip Household.

Thanks Jack. I can only hope that a picture tells a thousand words...... in English. Alternatively I will see how good google translate is from Cantonese to English... not holding my breath on that one.

Let me know if this translation is likely to lead to success Jack (talents of the cook notwithstanding).

Cheers,

Jack, the rice is simple. Buy a jar of Hainanese chicken rice mix. Then use the broth which you used to poach the chicken and add that to the rice. Cook in a rice cooker and you're done.
