What’s for dinner? #8

Dear Chibi,
This is looking like a monthly post, aye? Here is my latest cooking adventures…
Dish #34 Pumpkin Soup
A delicious and easy soup, perfect for winter :) I added a bit of nutmeg to taste. Yum!
Dish #35 Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles)
I made this twice now and it’s very tasty! The thick rice noodles turned out juicy and soft. I didn’t put any chilli in it though, so… is it still considered Pad Kee Mao? XD The second time around I also added bean sprouts and some Chinese greens :) One of my favourite Asian dishes so far.
Dish #36 Maple Salmon
Finally some seafood! I always try to add a bit of fish in our diet (which I’m sure we don’t get enough of). I was surprised how nice the maple syrup and soy sauce worked with the salmon. YUM!
Dish #37 Pork Red Curry with Lychee, Pineapples and Bamboo Shoot
I made up this recipe, after I got inspired by that delicious Roasted Duck Curry with Lychee I had at Fat Noodles. Granted, I didn’t have roasted duck so I put in pork instead. It still turned out rather nice :D I love the addition of the lychees. Lychees are GREAT!
Dish #38 Butter Chicken
I’ve been meaning to make Butter Chicken for a while now, but it seemed kinda complex at the time (and it uses so many different Indian spices). I finally got the courage to try this one out! It tasted nice.. but it didn’t feel like the ones you have at restaurants. The Butter Chicken sauce end up tasting a lot like the Chana Masala dish I made ^^” The tomato’s sourness was a bit overwhelming. I’m not sure how to make it more sweet and authentic. I might add more butter next time, and try tomato puree as opposed to canned crushed tomatoes. Any advice would be appreciated. XD
Next time I’m over, I’d like to order Pad Kee Mao please :)
Good choice! : D
