Spring Rolls & MooGooGaiPan September 15, 2010

That’s right, we did crab Rangoon and felt brave enough to make spring rolls. I would love to say that this turned out gloriously; however, it did not. I found the perfect recipe for spring rolls… and bought the wrong wrappers! Somehow we managed to purchase the wrappers that you steam, we had no idea. So we fried them! It was awful. I am giving you a picture only to say that we will try this recipe again with the right wrappers! The moo-goo turned out great! I had always wondered how to do the “white” sauce and it’s not difficult at all. Because the moo-goo was a success, we will try the spring rolls again except with a different entrée. Enjoy the images and create the flavor with your imagination! Side note: if you try to do anything but steam the “steam wrapper” the end result is quite chewy and disheartening. Also, we bought every single ingredient(for both recipes) at our local Asian SUPERmarket for a grand total of $17, this includes the sauces and oils that can be used for multiple recipes in the future! Can’t beat a meal for two under $20.

Enchilada! September 8, 2010

Long-time no blog!!! Well, we went Mexican for a while… This post is about our enchiladas and spicy cornbread. Kevin made the enchiladas using large tortillas, ground turkey, taco sauce, enchilada sauce, and a lot of shredded cheddar. Yum!! They were delicious. My cornbread contained a little bit of creamed style corn, finely chopped jalapeno, and a couple of other ingredients that I can’t remember because this was a week or two ago… If you want to try these recipes, let me know. We obviously tweaked them a bit like we do with every recipe. Check out the pics, the meal was over all fantastic!
