g love and special sauce.....

yeu and nuoc mam - essentials for every viet family.  i send my prayers love and fish sauce for hoans grandma. 


i got an embarrassingly loser shoutout on debs page....so im retaliating by one-upping her fririce.  ur everyday normal shrimp, pork combination fri rice is boring.  but the lucky part about being chinese, is that as many dialects as there are, there are nuances of cuisine...so why not substitute your humdrum salt and pepper combination for the more robust flavors of the south east.  nasi goreng time!  i cheat. i dont really know how to get the flavor combinations correctly but the bamboe nasi goreng packets are pretty tasty.  even my aunts, uncles and cousin uses this stuff so i figure its okay for me to 'semi-homemake' it.  so....in goes, onion or shallots, chicken, garlic and scallion.  (thing is im using basically the same things in the ingredient list of the packet.)....(i think using a bland protein is better because the nasi goreng paste is so strong, dont want red meat flavors to fight the spices)  add the rice and fry up one super crispy egg on top.  (soy sauce crust optional).   and...the secret  topping (fried shallots)!  soo good.



use this as garnish...or just throw it in last minute to give it an
extra kick....try throwing this in ur oxtail soup...world of a
difference.  i think this is the better brand....there's a few out
there to choose from....u'll see a color difference in the
shallots....the lighter full slices of shallots have more flavor. 

we use these 2 brands....im sure the others are the same.

my dad reminded me to drizzle some sweet soy sauce over the egg....


i roasted some chicken.  dad has very specific taste buds...didnt find the flavor combo to be that great...i dont even remember what i put in it....i had no clue how to marinate it....i think i used lemon and pinneaple and its juice....ginger soy and brown sugar and peppercorns.....maybe some chilli?  but i can't taste it.  i thought the chicken was cooked perfectly.  really tender and juicy....but dad likes that fried crust....and i didn't remove the foil in time to let the skin crisp up.  i dont think he liked the flavor combo.  disaster pic.




imma head to the ernest sewn sample sale tomolo morning.  10-12.  anyone want to join?



we've created out own bermuda triangle.  u fall into any of those places and u're bound not to come out alive...atl, houston, and vegas.....and i quote...."i prefer koreans...." hahahaha....y'all can guess who said that.



HOW COOL ARE THESE.....(from alvin)

transformers and sneakers?  hot idea.  and what's with this obsession with nuoc mam?  it's just fish sauce, simple sugar, garlic, and ground red peppers!
