Keeping in tradition with my list, I tried yet another recipe. I’d like to think I’m doing well with my clean 2 for 2 record (six more weeks to go!). This time around, I mixed and matched things, making an oyster sauce stir fry. On my trip to a Korean supermarket I ran into a white lady who was trying to explain to the stock boys that she wanted an oriental salad dressing. She was looking for that sweet and tangy thing she had at some restaurant. It was pretty amusing watching them search through various bottles of dressings, marinades, oils, and vinegars. After a few recommendations the lady gave up and said that she’ll look it up on the food network… Yay food network!?!? I love that supermarket. It’s like being back in Japan but with the addition of Korean and Chinese foods! And nothing beats 50% off all prepared food after 7, aaaand they are open 365 till 11pm. Wow, I sound like an ad campaign for the store, it’s just that good!
So, back to my awesome cooking skills: onion, garlic, bean sprouts, oyster mushrooms, baby bok choy, fresh rice noodles, and oyster sauce. Turned out pretty good, looked messy as always. I’ve never been one to plate my food all pretty, unless we’re talking cake. I’m more of the “cook, pile up, and eat” type of girl. So that’s exactly what I did. The picture proof of me keeping up with the list follows.
