2016 - Week 4 Cooking Results

Sriracha chicken and Edamame Sandwiches (I'm only vaguely following this)

I used a rotisserie chicken, and didn't use as much of the edamame that it called for, even so, I found them distracting from the dish as a whole, it made it just kind of odd.  Maybe the edamame was to big?  So you bite, chew and oh there's another soy bean.  Maybe if it was something smaller, like petite peas or something it wouldn't be entirely distracting.  Taste wise, good call.  mildly spicy (also added some Sambal Oelek).  Good stuffs, after you get past the soybeans.

Hoisin Pork with Napa Cabbage

Blue Gate says they have Napa Cabbage, I'm like of course I need to make something with Napa Cabbage. So this was it.  It turned out pretty well, I had to make a special trip to find an acceptable Hoisin sauce.  

Spanish Style Chickpea Quesaddillas

Very quick, a little different, and still quite good.

Bangers and Roast potatoes

These were non-standard sausages.  I did not like the texture or the flavor of the spices.  Kind of ruined it for me.

Soboro Beef

Very simple, yet had a surprising depth of flavor.  Good stuffs.
