Pork bulgogi meatballs with carrots & zucchini over rice 

1 serving prepared - heavily modified 

Here's what you get:


Zucchini
Ground pork
Sesame oil
Sriracha
Scallions
Shredded carrot
Jasmine rice
Sesame seeds

Extras:

Homemade bulgogi sauce 
GF pretzel crumbs 
Honey 
Tamari

Not pictured/used:

Bulgogi sauce
Panko bread crumbs
Ginger (I didn't receive any)
Lime    (I didn't receive any)

The rice:

This went on first. I cooked 1/4 cup of dry rice in 1/2 cup of water with avocado oil and rice vinegar for 15 minutes.

The protein:

The meatballs were prepared a few hours before dinner.  I had to substitute with my own bulgogi sauce and gf pretzel crumbs in place of the panko. These were mixed and set to rest in the fridge.


The bulgogi sauce is the same as a previous recipe I made with the addition of pear. Check this out: the Colonel's original recipe


Total cook time on the meatballs was 12 minutes and they were coated with a honey tamari mix during the last two minutes in pan.

The zucchini and carrots:

Because the carrots were shredded they were as quick to cook as the zucchini. I used a little bit of the sesame oil to cook these.

The plate:


Again!


This bulgogi recipe is really good although it's heavily relying on a flavor mix that I've made myself. And I already know that I like the mix that I've made.  Either way! This dish works really well, there's nothing I would change about it... besides all of the stuff I had to change about it...

Cheese tortilla party

Making:  Cheese tortilla! 6 servings prepared. Here's what I have: 284 Grams of king Arthur masa harina 60 Grams cheese powder  30 Grams butter powder  419 grams hot water  Preparation: The dry ingredients were combined in the mixing bowl. With the stand mixer set to stir I slowly added the hot water until the dough ball formed. Once everything was well Incorporated the adult wall was divided into six portions. A damp paper towel was placed over the dough so it didn't try out as the tortillas were cooked.  Using a parchment lined tortilla press each dough ball was pressed just before cooking on the Comal. Each side was allowed to cook for 30-45 seconds before flipping. This allowed each side to dry out just enough. The second cook was done until the tortilla puffed up and Browning was beginning to form.  The plate! - Kris
