Ground Turkey and Peppers

WTF was this? It was bland. I thought great, something else to do with ground turkey. I regret the time I spent on this. It was so bland it was hard to doctor up to be tasteful.

Soy Braised Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Steamed Rice

A bit of acid, heat, sweet and savory? This was delicious. I have been working my way through a tub of Gochujang, and this was a wonderful use for it. It was a good weekend dinner. I served mine with extra chili church and Shannon passed.

Pasta e Piselli

I saw this and thought maybe it would compare well with the serious eats version. It is entirely a different type of thing. I add a bit more cheese. Now that I read this intro, it makes sense on how soupy it was. I guess, I should not assume that similar, not the same words, aren’t the same things.

Kimchi Bokkeumbap

Another use of Gochujang, a nice flavor profile, curious for other versions to see how they stand up. I didn’t end up using the seaweed, as I was not sure that the seaweed I had was the type that was needed, so I skipped it. Other then that I stayed pretty close to the recipe. Good things.

Burger

Local beef, delicious.
