Yet another gastronomic disaster!!! But I learned that if you are making Thai butter steamed shrimp with glass noodles DO NOT use frozen shrimp the extra water in the frozen shrimp make the glass noodles turn to a mushy glop ....... not a texture that adds to the eating experience. Ordered out ..... KFC extra crispy. ( a possible psychological counter to the mushy noodles??).

I need to watch more TVThat's one of the weird things I learned on all the cooking shows...remove the moisture from uncooked food! Pat meat dry, squeeze the heck out things like frozen hash browns, use salt to pull moisture out of tomatoes, cukes, and other vegs, etc.

Just type in a dish in the youtube search function and you'll be surprised. Some of the cooks explain really well how things should be done.I need to watch more TV
That's when I started sprouts and micro greens.It was mostly during lockdown. Almost an immersion! Redid my entire kitchen (not a remodel but almost everything else...Amazon deliveries practically every other day, LOL) Organization, shelving and storage, spices out the wazoo, cookware, mini-appliances, etc.
You were thinking of me, weren't you.A vegetable extravaganza tonight: baby carrots, broccoli, canned mandarins from MOW, and a bowl of lentil & vegetable soup.
Yup. As a matter of fact, I did.You were thinking of me, weren't you.
That sounds delicious!!!Tonight it was Venetian Shrimp with Polenta
Easy to make and delicious.

Jet Tila has some great videos on Asian cooking out there.Lots of other cooks out there ready to show you the ropes.
I have one of his cookbooks.Jet Tila has some great videos on Asian cooking out there.
I've done his lo mein, siu mai, and salt and pepper shrimp . Salt and Pepper shrimp except I peeled them.. The Wok of Life is a really good Chinese recipe site.I have one of his cookbooks.
Have tried making several and want to try more.
They are really good.
My favorite so far is the Thai Drunken Noodles.

Polenta with shrimp, not two things I would have thought would go together but it sounds good. Gotta try making it here in Oregon because I'll never go to Venice to sample it. The thought of visiting a place floating on top to 1600 years of sewage is slightly off putting.Tonight it was Venetian Shrimp with Polenta
