On a Korea tip RN

That's gonna murder your cabbage, Shirley? Why not braise the pork belly on its own for a couple of hours then add the cabbage at the end and steam it over the pork?

Kind of slow and low thing. I’m hoping the fat and the stock keep the cabbage good.
I’m also assuming a kind of collared greens thing will be going on as well.

First time for everything..

I think the cabbage will be mushy af if you cook it with the pork belly.

Just been to the butchery in Spa Terminals down in Bermondsey - cracking butchers.

Got some pork cheek which I’m gonna confit and serve with crispy shrimp & pickled radish and shredded sprouts salad.

Also got some brisket to make a Korean soybean stew.

Jord in Helsinki. Best ribs I ever had. Smoked turnip and yoghurt was even better. Not fuckity bad for a restaurant in a mall.

cabbage was mushy, but the pork belly was gorgeous..

Hate to say I told you so, but I told you...

You have to try tar ice cream whilst you are there.

Made a great Bill Granger barbecue beef with miso slaw thing last night. It was flipping fantastic.

You marinade the beef (had fillet) in mashed kiwi, soy, sesame oil, garlic, rice vinegar and muscovado sugar. The kiwi super-tenderises the beef and after 3 hours it was practically falling apart. Whack it it a blisteringly hot dry grill pan till charred/sticky then rest and slice.

The slaw is read and white cabbage, celery and a dressing of wine vinegar, lemon juice, caster sugr and white miso paste. Served it in iceberg leaf hand-rolls with cucumber and chilli sauce. It was fucken delicious.

That miso slaw sounds like something Lori would love, I'm making that when I get back... 👌

It's great man. Cheap, easy and super tasty. Accidentally healthy I suppose too as well. Oh, it's supposed to have red onion in but I forgot to put it in.

Doing shawarma today. Don't normally buy ready mixed spices but there's a little spice shop down by the quay here that does blends (alongside recipe cards) so thought i'd give their version a whirl.

Yep I'll be doing that too.

Got a cooked chicken to use up today for tea, feeling uninspired, help please.

Asian lettuce cups? Julienned carrot, cucumber, spring onion, glass noodles, fresh coriander, mint, sweet basil, shredded chicken, crispy onions and a Thai style dressing? Lime, fish sauce, sesame oil, chilli, etc... Very, very moreish...

chicken soup?

Or tacos

But much better when it's made with chicken carcasses IMVHO... I've had a dodgy stomach since getting to Europe, my chicken broth is the only thing that has settled it down...

I always hard cook the chopped up bones in a stock pot, wanna try roasting as I hear the flavour's even better that way... Never seem to have the time to do that tho', it's always an "I want chicken soup and I want it now!" situation so never any planning...

Chicken, tomato and salad cream sanbos on white. None of that sourdough noise either.

simple pleasures for snack time after work today smoked cheddar with red onion a little mayo and mustard on sourdough bread toasted in a pan with a bit of oil to crisp up the bread.

Picked up a double rack of lamb over Easter but only got a chance to cook it last night. Used Seriouseats recipes with a spice rub then a herb/mustard crust.

Double rack of lamb is quite a lot for two people. Who knew?

I really fancy beef olives.

Anyone know where I can get a whole leg of lamb from, reliably? Been searching big supermarkets and they only have half ones or halal ones, and I need to get marinading.

What's wrong with Halal ones?
