Simple “Weird” Food at Home

There are a lot of us Asian people eat that non-Asian people would consider “weird”.  Tofu that smells like stinky feet, intestines that poo poo passed through, blood, brain, snake, turtle…. you name it, we eat it.  But those are the dishes that I grow up eating.  So one night I made “weird” food dinner for Dr. P to try.


鹹蛋蒸肉 Steamed Turkey with Salted Egg

Sorry for the photo of the eaten dish.  haha…  I didn’t plan to write about the dish and didn’t take a picture after cooking it.  Then I had some, and it was really good so I decided to write about it.  The weird food in this dish was salted duck egg.  You can buy those salted duck egg in any Chinese supermarket.  I made the dish with ground turkey meat because that what I had in my fridge.  You can also make it with pork.  I used about 1 pound of turkey, chopped the egg white from 2 salted egg, saved the yolk, and mixed the egg white with the meat.  Seasoned it with some soy sauce, white pepper, a little cornstarch, and water.  Placed the meat mixture in a bowl or plate, put the yolk on top, and steamed.  It was super easy to make.  The meat pie is great with rice or porridge.

The day after dinner party at Black Cherry Garden, I woke up with the worst hangover headache.  I didn’t know why I had a hangover.  I didn’t even get drunk!  Could it be the Claritin I took?  I guess I should never mix alcohol with medication.  Lesson learned.


芽菜海帶 Seaweed & Bean Sprout in Garlic Vinegar Sauce ($1.95)

With the throbbing headache, all I wanted was a bowl of hot soup.  Dr. P took me to A&J for some beef noodle soup to recuperate.  We started the meal with a small plate of Seaweed & Bean Sprout in Garlic Vinegar Sauce.  We tried the cucumber and pickled cabbage before.  The seaweed is the best appetizer we’ve tried.
