Whats for dinner?

[KenYork]

I don\'t know what to make for dinner tonight. Kinda stuck to having to make chinese caus that is all the father-in-law eats. Just don\'t know what kind of chinese dishes.

Have and ideas for dinner?

btw, any idea what you are having?

[Broli]

I will have a beef stir-fry with red peppers, snow peas and hot chillies over rice!

at least that is my plan for this evening!

:D

[SIM SIMMA]

Easy dish... just make chicken with peppers in black bean sauce..

Make a veggie dish... chinese broc...

if not enough... add another meat dish or fish...

that;s what i normally do...

or just go pick up some \"char sui\" :)

[ds2chan]

chicken fingers.. and to disguise it as a chinese dish throw some black bean sauce on them.. :D

lol.. j/k.. I\'ll be cooking soya sauce chicken tonite..

[TheProfessor]

The wife marinated some chicken breast in an Indian Tikha paste and with some peppers and onions. Gonna grill it tonight with some mashed potatoes and some corn I think.

[Zaku_4]

ooo,

im having my FAVOURITE thing of all time:

old styled chinese bbq pork.

i only know of ONE PLACE in markham/richmond hill that makes it old style. and i know of 3 places downtown (chinatown) that make it. however i still dont know where my late grandfather used ot buy it from. i used to wait for him to come home to eat it, it was so good. =/ oh well.

[SIM SIMMA]

Old school chinese BBQ pork?

how is this different from any other \"char sui\" \"chinese bbq pork\"?

Please explain... I\'m confused...

[KenYork]

yes i would like too(old style \"cha siu\").. i\'ve been around spadina chinatown most of my life, not exactly sure what old style is..


btw. thanks jobes did the chicken and black bean sauce things.. havn\'t had that in a while, was a good change.

basically in most places in markham (johns bbq) they have new style which is really really soft and not very sweet, more salty. the old style is pretty hard and has like sweet like gooy sauce on it, as opposed to the water-based ones that they let it sit in.

i LOVE the old style and hwo its all hard and crap lol, damn im hungry

[KenYork]

ya know it\'s just sauce that just gets used over and over again.. for like a couple weeks(maybe even months).

its damn good.

the main difference is how sweet it is and how hard it is lol

[KenYork]

There are a few places around that do old style still.. it\'s just i havn\'t been wandering downtown toronto much anymore.

[firstmazda]

I remember as a kid seeing my grandfather eating KD in a bowl of
milk like cereal! LOL

it\'s actually pretty good!

[SABIO]

whats that Filipino dish called that consists of Steamed rice thats wrapped inside some sort of leaf.... anyone?

[SIM SIMMA]

It\'s not only a Filipino dish...

Chinese have one as well that we eat at lunch... most commonly ordered during Dim Dum. It\'s sticky rice wrapped and steamed in a Lotus leaf... inside there is meat and what not.

It\'s called \"Lo Mai Gai\"..in Cantonese..

Its usually called \"Jun ju gai\"

[SIM SIMMA]

I\'ve always known it as lo mai gai.

I\'m totally juk sing man... leave me alone!

:p
The lo mai gai works but those are usually referring to the larger ones about size of palm?
And the ones at dim sum places are called jun ju gai because its smaller. Get it?;)

[SIM SIMMA]

yeah.. all i was saying is i generalized it as what i knew it as.

it\'s all good.

never said chinese was my forte... I can get by...

JUK SING baby!

[SABIO]

I\'ve had the Lotus leaf rice before.. yummy..

But I believe Filipinos use Bananna leaves...

[firstmazda]

^^

the one i\'m thinking of is like the size of your finger (or Broli\'s *)
and is wrapped in a banana leaf, sweet sticky rice, often dipped in sugar.

We call it \"Suman\"

My dad makes that every Christmas.

Ever had \"buko pandan\"? It\'s a mix of coconut, tapoica and gelatin...it\'s my new favourite dessert and is worth the trip back to the Philippines. :D

never hear of it... sounds worth flying out there tho!

I still can\'t get enough of \"proot salad\" though! (fruit salad LOL)


Isn\'t it funny how give an old filipino some sugar, powdered milk, sticky rice, and condensed milk,
they can make like 50 different desserts!? That\'s all our stuff is made of!

Sugar, powered milk, sticky rice, condensed milk and coconuts...that\'s how the owners Goldilocks made their fortune!

Have you ever tried ginataan? <drool>

Could you give me a quick walkthrough on how I would cook that? Sounds like a good simple dish to make.

hahahah yup...thanks majoogle!

[SIM SIMMA]

Walkthrough... LOL.

Use Majic\'s link or I just...

Less formal recipe..

Get some chicken breast and cut it into chunks or slices... up to you.
I usually like to throw it into a bowl and put some soya sauce and black pepper (helps get rid of the total poultry taste) and about a teaspoon of corn starch mix it all up and let it sit for a few mins to marinate.

In the meantime grab your veggies that you want to use (green peppers, red, I use celery too)
Chop them up and put aside.

Grab your WOK, pan whatever...

Heat some oil (I use grapeseed you can use whatever you have) put about a tablespoon of the blackbean sauce in with the oil while it is heating up.

Once hot throw the chicken in and fry it up. Once the chicken is almost done throw your veggies in. You may want to add some sugar so it is not too salty.

DONE.

Serve with white rice.

haha...

VERY QUICK AND EASY.

I\'ve never really been a fan of ginataan, the father-in-law makes it almost every weekend
for his favourite grand daughter tho LOL.

Bibinka I like, Turon i love! (like eggrolls but banana and sometimes jack fruit inside),
I love goldilocks polvoron too haha...

I\'m getting REALLY hungry, craving sugar now.

[FLIPDADY]

I brought in a plastic bag full of Goldilocks polvoron to work one day. Two hours later it was gone.

I think I\'m having Bip Stek tonight.
:p

what time should we all show up?:D
I\'ll bring my mom\'s big rice cooker!

[KenYork]

so do we now need a what\'s for dinner section with recipes to help each other through the week. It\'d certainly make our forum different.

There is a buffet restaurant in Makati called Dad\'s. They have Filipino, Japanese, a little bit of Italian and \"North American\" food. Of course, they also have dessert section! I was tempted to just camp out in front of the dessert area and eat all of the ginataan, halo-halo and leche flan for myself. All you can eat for under $10CDN!

I have never been a big fan of turon, but after eating a few from Remely\'s I believe I am coming around.

I have a craving for taho, the drink...
