Previously, on tastingmenu.wordpress.com – * https://tastingmenu.wordpress.com/2012/07/17/snake-river-farms-ribeye-french-laundry-style-sauce-bordelaise Recently, I’d gotten a request from my wife to make oxtails. I should’ve known, given how much she likes trotters. But how to prepare them? One possible way I could’ve gone was to do a Korean-style preparation with daikon, onions and potatoes. It then occurred to me to try […]

This time around I thought it might be fun to try and make the breakfast donburi (scrambled/soft eggs with tomato, salmon, nori, […]
Potstickers (aka guo-tie/鍋貼)
Posted by tastingmenu in HomeCooking on August 7, 2013
