Do you live in a restaurant?

[Minnie the Minx]

Me? Hahahaha no, have friends who own one though too much work imo but do get good menu ideas to use at home which I usually tweak because it's Cantonese fusion type of food.

 

Ribs are very easy to make, just a smoky barbecue marinade, throw in some garlic and char siu sauce ( Chinese pork BBQ sauce) and into the oven. Always use the best quality meats you can buy. I do a lot of cooking at home if we eat out I try to recreate the recipe.

[Minnie the Minx]

This went with the ribs it's a twist in the Greek moussaka dish. OK Cinco de Mayo is Mexican but who cares, we had avocado salad,  corm chips and home made salsa and of course TEQUILA ( and Corona).  I just served the ribs cut up in that tray as I broke my big serving platter.

that looks mighty fine...just keep at it and the process becomes easier each time...

 

with my last tortilla today I had a left over meatloaf and coleslaw taco...mighty fine...

 

check out the coleslaw...those of us that miss fresh green salads cause of no fresh greens available will find that the ingredients for coleslaw (white cabbage and carrots) are everywhere...experiment with the dressings; got sum homade yogurt, olive oil and lime juice dressing presently on the go...make a big batch  of salad and keep in the fridge to nibble on...always goes well wid de flatbread...

Another Rueben cooked to perfection. It's probably around 2,000 calories but who cares?

Today's dinner, Middle Eastern style food.
Flat bread with beef filling, salad and topped with sour cream, olives and pickled jalapeños.

[CLW]

Sorry the link to the recipe for the flat bread is in German

Looks great, thanks for sharing that CLW.

[CLW]

And here for the beef filling, I just decided to stir-fry the mixture directly instead of forming balls or patties

I was irritated, too.
Apart from that there is no fresh yeast in Thailand.
I read more down in the comments that 0,05g is about the size of a lentil or rice grain, so I used that amount of instant yeast

a great sauce fer something like this is tahini sauce which is easy to make if ye got the ingredients (primarily tahini paste) which should be available in falang areas...

 

http://toriavey.com/toris-kitchen/2010/01/tahini-sauce/

 

in the middle east even the smallest shop has quart jugs of tahini paste available and I useta make big batches to have on hand to put on everything, salads, steamed veges, etc...highly addictive...

"Vol au Vent Thai Style"

 

Honestly, I have been cheating a bit with this one, you should put the sauce in a pastry  like in the pic below, but they are not for sale here and I have serious problem baking them (they mostly collapse so I just use a flat piece of pastry - the taste is the same anyway)

 

The sauce is a thick roux with chicken, mushrooms and a dash of Madeira wine.
