Food Porn

Tonight's stir fry, still in the wok - chicken tenders, sliced baby Portabella mushrooms, green and red bell peppers, onion, chopped fresh cilantro, broccoli, sliced carrots, snow peas, with garlic and homemade Indonesian-style chili sauce. Mmmmmmmm...

  1. I'm jealous. You have a proper Wok. I have an electric stove and the wok doesn't work without gas flames licking the base! Looks quite yummy actually. No bamboo shoots or water chestnuts? The real secret is sesame oil . . just a dab.

  3. yummy! Looks great! I just made sweet and sour stir fry pork last night--Mr Jackson was skeptical at the mention, but after the first bite was an immediate fan!

  6. Thanks everybody!

    Baino - Actually, I prefer peanut oil.

    Kelly - Yup. It's actually really easy. You get a string of dried chili peppers and soak until tender (usually overnight). Put the peppers and the water they soaked in in a blender and add lots and lots of minced garlic. Puree. If the paste gets too dry and thick, add vinegar (preferably rice vinegar) liberally. Puree until the paste reaches the consistency of tomato paste. And keep in mind when using this stuff that a little bit goes a long, long way!

    Megs - Huh? Jealous of who/what?
