WHAT DID YOU HAVE FOR DINNER!!

[kherrmann3]

With talk of all this yummy Chinese food, I want some now!

I think I will make Korean Bulgogi ("Korean Barbeque") tomorrow night That is my only "Asian Food" recipe that I have. It's still delicious, though!

yum Subway the only sandwhich i like on there menu is the bacon and ranch sandwhich, with extra ranch of course.

We have Subway here too, except I'm a really picky eater so there isn't much point in me going in there because all I'll eat is Chicken Tikka on my sub and they hardly put any on so I still feel hungry and it's really expensive. So I go to the Snack Shack instead and get a roll with Chicken Tikka, and they pack it with Chicken Tikka for just 3.50, it's so yummy!

Mmmm subway...yummy chicken salad on italian bread...i feel like it now even though it's 1:21am here nowlol

This thread is crazy. I've just finished a ham sandwich and it's made me hungry again!

We drove past Subway earlier..... I was looking out of the window like a puppy at it lol, but Steve said no :grumpy: MEAN!

We saw TONS of Quiznos in San Francisco. We had one once I think, but it didn't beat Subway for me. They are both literally on every corner over there!

I've never seen egg rolls over here. They look kind of like spring rolls, but with egg instead of thin pastry? Sometimes they're called pancake rolls. I must admit, that Chinese food in this country sometimes gets very diluted from what it should be- there are SO many takeaways that also serve 'traditional' fish and chips, along with a huge chinese menu, and burgers as well, etc. That's why I like my local place, because it's an actual chinese restaurant that does takeaways too. Nothing else!

Tonight I'm not sure what to have for dinner- we got a great deal on steaks at the butchers earlier so we may have sirloin steak with local new potatoes that I got at our lovely greengrocer. Or, I've been really wanting to try a pasta dish that I had in San Francisco at home. It was beef strips, in a gorgonzola sauce with taglitelle. It was sooo nice and I've been wanting it ever since, but I'm not sure how to make it, or if Steve would be up for that....

We get Larry's Giant Subs here. In fact...they deliver to our house. LOL

Pet Bunny...we used to eat chinese sausages ...when i make fried rice i cut some chinese sausage up and cook it in with the rice with all the other ingredient's that i add in...i make the best fried rice

I love making our own Fried Rice too.

Fried Rice without the Chinese sausages is not Fried Rice because it adds so much more flavor to it. :biggrin2: Do you use eggs in your Fried Rice?

 

[JimD]

I had leftovers for lunch...... from lastnight's takeout.....

Half an eggroll, 3 fried dumplings, chicken w/spicy orange sauce, and roast pork fried rice.

YUM!!!!!!! Jen that sounds SO good! (except for the fact I don't like that type of cheese) Here's a recipe for a sauce, don't know if it's the one you want.

Jim, I love pork fried rice! OMG YUM!

We decided to go for Middle Eastern tonight. We both started with yellow lentil soup and split an order of falafel. I had chicken biryani, which may be my favorite thing to eat, ever. Jason had curry chicken, which has a little different flavor than Thai or Indian curry.
I was almost full after the soup and falafel, so I barely ate any of my entree. 2 lunches worth of leftovers!
I did, however, manage to eat a small piece of pistachio baklava. Heaven!

(We go to that restaurant so often, the server laughs when he asks if we want falafel. One of these days, we will order a different appetizer and really throw him!)

 

[Brandy456]

I had a whoole bunch of things, I went to a friends and it was her step dads birthday party
I had a sausage roll, chicken wings, egg sandwhich, Nachos.

Yum,I only used the soya sauce for fried rice,but never thought of using the other sauces (fish and oyster sauce). No wonder you have the best Fried Rice. Do you find it too salty?

No picture of supper tonight.

I was at the Humane Society and then went to visit Jan. My wifewas outwith her sisterat West Edmonton Mall. She must be one of the jewelry stores best customer as she got her diamond ring resized atno charge and she also bought a new ring. Then she was having supper in a diner at the mall, and the jeweler who happened to be there too, picked up the tab for my wife. :faint:Igot home late, so I decided I wanted to try a Burger King Steakhouse burger loaded with Mozza cheese and mushrooms, with fries. I needed a potato fix. :biggrin2:

Jen, here's the wikipedia article on egg rolls: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_roll

If your spring rolls are the same as our spring rolls, then an egg roll is like a bigger spring roll but it's apparently dipped in an egg wash and then fried. It doesn't taste eggy or anything, the egg just changes the texture of the outside I think. They sure are good!

Kherrmann, feel free to share your recipe for bulgogi! I love Korean food. There's a restaurant near here that has Korean food, and it tastes good but the meat is often really fatty (which grosses me out) so I hardly eat any of it. I have a few recipes for bulgogi to try and have been meaning to cook it!

I didn't get home until 9:30 tonight so Paul had leftover corned beef and potatoes, and I had macaroni and cheese and potatoes. No, not the healthiest meal ever, but I'm tired out and feeling lazy. We may have some salad here in a little while since we just finished eating.

Stan, how do you make fried rice? This is my favorite recipe, we love it and it's so easy to make: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Fried-Rice-with-Cilantro/Detail.aspx I use shrimp instead of chicken. I'd like to try it with barbecue pork too since that's what all the restaurants here use. I should make it again!

Here is my recipe for Bulgogi. I combined a recipe from AllRecipes.com with one from Will's brother-in-law's mom, who is from South Korea. She has all sorts of yummy recipes! If there are any other recipes that you can think of, I can get them for you! Yhanhi (sp?) has quite the extensive cook book! She makes really good Kimchi, too! The cucumber one is my favorite!

Bulgogi
Ingredients:
- 3 Tbsp. soy sauce - 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1 Tbsp. sesame oil - 1 green onion; chopped
- 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds; toasted - 1 carrot; julienned
- 1 clove garlic; minced - 1/4-1/2 yellow onion; chopped
- 1 tsp. white sugar - 1 lb. beef; thinly sliced ***

Directions:
- Mix soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, garlic, sugar and pepper in resealable bag/container.
- Add in the veggies and meat, seal the container/bag, coat well.
- Marinade for at least 2 1/2 hours. Overnight is best!
- When ready to cook, pour into a non-stick frypan (you might need a little oil) and cook until desired doneness.
- Serve over rice. (We use Minute Rice... Hehe)

Notes:
- *** Beef. The recipe online calls for sirloin steak, but I have used round and chuck steaks and they all are pretty good. Some are just easier to cut than others!
- I find that there is very little marinade left when you add the meat/veggies in the mix. I normally just cook it with the marinade in the pan.
- The "AllRecipes.com" also uses 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 monosodium glutemate (MSG). I think it would be WAY too salty with that. Yhanhi's recipe does not call for salt or MSG.
Let me know when you try it and if you like it! :biggrin2:

 

[kherrmann3]

I didn't think to add this after the Bulgogi recipe, but it won't let me edit my post now... Being the lazy person that I am, I just use matchstick carrots instead of cutting them up myself.

Also, we aren't big onion eaters, so we don't use much yellow onion (if any). I just put in a little extra green onion and leave it at that!

 

[SnowyShiloh]

I'll definitely have to try that recipe, thanks a bunch! Incidentally, I have about 6 sirloin steaks in the freezer from last summer that I've been meaning to cook. Sounds like perfect bulgogi meat to me. I can't wait to try it! Do you happen to have recipes for japchae, kalbi and bibimbap?
