Yea me to , They were really not very hard to make . They just took a bit of time, the little trick I learned for rolling them really helped. I got the grape leaves from this place on Lazada and I must say they shipped fast and the leaves were top quality, I will certainly order from them again. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i3635746374-s21187488494.html?urlFlag=true&mp=1 Oh one thing I did that might have helped was that before using the leaves I put them in boiling water for a minute and then left them in the hot water for about 10 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the leave add a lot of flavor? Cabbage seems cheaper and easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunLA Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Posting to tell what not to try. Used S&B Japanese Curry w/some peanut oil as a marinade on my chicken legs. In fridge for about 3 hrs. Chicken was itself was great, tender, juicy, skin crisped up enough. But you'd never know I marinated it for 3 hours, as curry flavor was non existent. Served up with a side of taters, for 1st meal of the day, just before noon. Made this again the other day, and always turns out good, posted before. Basic Asian marinade; soy sauce, oyster, honey (sugar), garlic/ginger, 5 spice seasoning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michaelaway Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 1 1/2 lbs. chicken livers (can use duck) 1 large onion, chopped 2 eggs, hard-boiled (can use duck) Kosher salt Black pepper Chicken fat, mayonnaise, oil +/or butter 1/4 cup Chinese cooking wine, dry sherry or chicken stock- a little Optional: 4-6 cloves garlic, smashed & minced Wash the livers and sauté them in 2 tablespoons of chicken fat, oil or butter over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until just about done. Transfer to a large bowl. Sauté the onions & mushrooms in chicken fat, oil or butter until browned. Add the garlic, if using, near the end to brown, but not burn. Add the wine, dry sherry or chicken stock and deglaze the pan, scraping the sides and boiling for about 15 seconds. Pour into the bowl with the livers. Add the eggs, salt & black pepper to the bowl. Toss quickly to combine. Blend the mixture in a food processor until a thick paste develops; remove to a large bowl. Blend in the amount of chicken fat, mayonnaise, oil +/or butter you prefer and season to taste. Chill and serve. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for that recipe, though I would probably swap out the chicken livers for pork liver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many ingredients will discourage you from making it and don't make a huge impact on the final result. I use the following method ( in video ) except I don't use as much liver as if you make too much it might go off before you eat it all and I have found it does not freeze that well ( water gets in ) Secondly, I only marinate the liver in milk for about 30 minutes....not several hours. So all you really need is 4 cloves of garlic and a small onion plus the liver. Cook these up in a pan with a slice of butter. Add black peeper and salt ( plus optional mixed herbs if you have them. One cooked let cool and put in a blender. As you blend, graduallky add cream ( I just use milk ) and blend until you get the texture you want. Don't put all the cream or milk in at once as if you overdo it it will be runny. Slowly slowly until it is nice and smooth. Put in a tub then pop it in the fridge. You can melt butter on top if you wish or sprinkle black pepper on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirineou Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 (edited) Songkran weekend and hiding in the house. what better time to make Mango turnovers. The difficult part was finding mangoes this time of year but I managed to get my hands on a couple. peeled them removed the seed and chop them up Three tbs of sugar, 2 tbs of cornstarch to thicken the mix . and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. over low heat for 3-4 minutes until sugar is melted. butter puff pastry squares with a few lines cut on the center of the top half. A tablespoon of filling on the center of the bottom half. Paint edges with egg wash fold over and pinch edges with fork. and paint outside with egg wash. bake at 400 f until golden brown, flip over and bake for a few more minutes . The white you see outside is a cake butter and sugar cake topping I had leftover from last week when I tried to make a layer cake. (not very successful but a good effort for a first time.) Anyway here are the pictures, cause I know many of you have problems with words . especially big ones plenty of them to last me the weekent. Someone please call me and let me know when it is safe to go outside again. But I warn you!! If I come out and don't see my shadow, I am going back in Edited April 13 by sirineou 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
