I’ll be pan frying and seasoning up some ground beef to make savoury lumpia
finely diced carrot, onion, meat, S&P, soy sauce, serve with sweet chili or thai dipping sauce
some sweet banana lumpia (quartered banana rolled in brown sugar, wrapped, fried, dusted with powdered sugar)
sweet chili sauce
- 1/3 cup rice vinegar
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons cane sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice wine (can substitute dry sherry)
- 1 tablespoon sambal oelek (use more or less according to taste)OR 1-2 teaspoons dried red chili flakes (these are very hot, start with less and add more if desired)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons finely minced garlic1 teaspoon finely minced ginger
- 1 teaspoon tamari or soy sauce (use tamari for gluten free)
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon water (the sauce will thicken more once cooled)
-
Place all of the ingredients except for the cornstarch mixture in a small saucepan and bring it to a boil, stirring regularly. Once the sugar is dissolved stir in the cornstarch mixture, stirring continually until thickened, about 1 minute. Let the sauce cool completely, pour into an airtight jar and store in the refrigerator. Will keep for up to a week. Makes about 1 cup.
Super basic peanut sauce
1/2 cup peanut butter (natural, unsweetened)
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp sugar (brown is better)
a few drops of chili oil (optional)
2-4 tbsp hot water as needed
Whisk everything together, slowly add water to desired consistency.
optional:
1 tbsp (rice) vinegar
2 tsp chili garlic sauce (above)
1 tbsp citrus (lime is more authentic, lemon works)
3 garlic cloves, minced (not really optional)
1 tbsp grated ginger
Coleslaw:
1 head of cabbage (1/2 red 1/2 green for a prettier slaw)
1 thinly sliced carrot
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup mayo
1 tbsp pickle juice (or something else for tanginess like your favourite vinegar or hot sauce)
1 tsp dry mustard (or dijon)
1 tbsp sugar (optional)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
-> salt and let the cabbage drain in a colander for 3 hours
-> mix everything other than the cabbage and carrot, toss and serve
I might make some Banana Frangipane
maybe some 1 ingredient banana ice cream (guess what the ingredient is!)
