Today I went out to lunch with my mom and went to a buffet. Imagine how fun THAT was to track. I just had various salads, a cup of soup and a big plate of fruit though. Just a lot to keep a mental note of for later.
I watched My Sisters Keeper today and cried like a baby. Then brought my kittens into bed and had a nap with them. I've pretty much been hanging out online since then - aside for some cooking, which is the point of this blog after all! Glad Thai Dings is a recipe for meatballs in a peanut-ginger sauce.
You saw my meatballs I made on Friday, and I used the same ones. Great way to use them up. This recipe calls for Hoisin Sauce. I didn't know what to look for - so if anyone else is confused, I found it in the Asian section of my grocery store and this is what it looks like.
I found it to have a very strong, salty taste. Almost like soya sauce but with a richer flavour. To be honest, if i remake this recipe I will use less of the hoisin. I found it over powered the peanut and coconut flavours of the recipe. It was still enjoyable! Quick and easy to make - something very different, to get me out of my food rut, too. I served it over stir fried bell peppers, onions, sugar snap peas and bamboo shoots. It could also easily be served as finger foods (well, on toothpicks) at a social gathering.
