Revisit on Pork Wellington!
It is so very hard for me to remember to add a little bit of brown mustard before wrapping this thing!

Sometimes you just need some Fish and Chips!
We use Brandys Tempura batter on those very rare occasions the deep fryer comes out and has the dust removed from it. The texture, flavor, and crunch is what is missing in 90% of restaurant fish and chips.
So traditionally, this would be the gluten free malt vinegar and tarter sauce for both fish and chips. But , also having spent high school in Belgium, honey mustard mayo on frits was they way to go.

Deep Frying anything is pretty rare around here. When we do it, we want it to be all sorts of wonderful. The secret to this is keeping the batter cold. We mix it, and stuff it in the refrigerator. We also have it on ice while using it. Pretty much anything we fry gets dredged in flour before going i

In my youth, one of my favorite dishes from the Guangdong province was sweet and sour pork.
As I gravitated away from deep fried food (not all), I can say I have not made this since the 80s. Glad to have a variation that works.

This is not deep fried or with a deep red sauce. It has alot of flavor, that sweet and sour flavor you love. And it is a very quick meal. We served it on a bed of jasmine rice. Ingredients  Sauce ⅓ cup soy sauce 1 cup chicken bouillon

It's Hot Dish ya know

This is quick and easy with precooked corned beef.  I did cook the corned beef in a crock pot on low for 8 hours before making this recipe.  There are quicker ways of getting it cooked, like buying it that way. Ingredients 2 cups shredded cooked corned beef 2 cups drained s
