I love avocados, and I love curry. Naturally, I try to combine the two. I've actually had a similar dish at a Thai restaurant near my house. Surely, it must be somewhat legitimate. It was delicious. I could eat it for days. The next time I make this, I may be a little adventurous and add some eggplant too.
Earlier this week, I tried to make chinese stuffed eggplant with some ground shrimp. I know it's easier to mix it with some not so lean ground pork, and I felt like I should consult some recipes or at least my mom. But I'm more of a trail and error type gal. Naturally, the different components were good, but the stuffing totally failed to stick to the eggplant. I think the next time I attempt it, I'll have to let the shrimp paste rest for a little bit so it can build up some glutton so T says. Anyway... back to tonight's feature... 2 japanese eggplant does not quite equal up to 1lb's worth of shrimp paste. I had a little left over that I was just going to pan sear like mom does with the leftovers and add it to some noodles. HOWEVER, I have all these left over buns from July 4th weekend. Daniel "wanted" burgers, so I bought them...knowing the steak was what we were going to end up eating. I got to thinking I should make use of the buns (I made KIMCHEE burgers the other night with the cheap ground beef I bought SO GOOD!!!!!) so shrimp burgers came to mind. I just took the leftovers and made a patty and threw it on the grill, but 10 seconds after I did that, I thought DUDE it's going to fall apart....need something to keep it together... PANKO. Perfection!! Toasted the bun...a little mayo...a little saracha...lettuce...tomatoes...onions.... panko crusted shrimp burger. Deliciousness!
Yep... my mind totally went there too. But no, we're not talking about slapping any old ham!! Tom Thumb had high quality steaks on sale!!!! I got three HUGE bone in rib-eyes for $16 (originally priced at $40). What a freakn steal!!!! Not to meantion the family econo size package of ground beef I got for $6 that I have yet to deal with. One of the steaks I grilled last night for the 4th of July in I spent with Mr. Daniel. Please see here for details. http://gluttonouschinaman.blogspot.com/2009/07/waiting-for-my-steak.html
Upon further evaluation, we decided that one steak was more than enough for the two of us to share. They were out of your mind huge. Not 72oz huge, but plenty. Tonight, I grilled the second steak that was meant for last night for a late night dinner of snow pea and string bean stir fry. The other half I'm going to eat as a steak sandwich tomorrow. If I'm good, you will have pictures of that as well!!!!
It's summer time, but I'm still making soups and slow cooking goodness like a mother trucker. Pictured here is my stewed lentils. So deliciously healthy. I had leftovers that I ended up baking with an egg on the top, but sadly, it was all eaten before I remembered to take a photo.
