Worked with lots of Daikon this past week. 2TBSP each rice vinegar & soya sauce 1TBSP each sesame oil & cane sugar 2-4TBSP each garlic & ginger, minced 1/2TSP red pepper flakes Ground pepper 1/2CUP water Cornstarch/water mixture to thicken Half daikon sliced thinly about the size of toonie pieces. 1 carrot thinly sliced, 1 red onion thinly sliced and a half full of sliced napa cabbage
I boil my daikon about 15minutes until it turns translucent. Drain, set aside. Stirfrys come together fast. Throw everything in your hot wok minus the daikon, cabbage and cornstarch mixture. Stirfry high heat for about 3-4minutes. Stirring frequently. I then thicken this with my cornstarch mixture, throw on my daikon and cabbage. Stirfry just a couple minutes. Stirring constantly.
Lucky saids finally, I’ve been waiting all day! Sorry foods on the floor ?, it was only there for the picture lol
Package of thin rice noodles, cooked then I mix in 2TBSP of sweet chili sauce in the noodles. Package of Rice Paper Wrappers Shrimps, cooked sliced in half Carrots, green onions, & cucumbers all julienned Thai Chilis cut in half lengthwise (optional) Lettuce your choice roughly chopped The thing about these, they can be filled with literally anything so you put the veggies you prefer. Now prep your station and get everything ready to go. I find the rice paper container is excellent for dipping the wraps in water as it’s the same size. So I take the cover off and fill with water. We just dip in and dip out of the water. I can never roll these like the restaurants do unless we make them super small, but they still taste just as good. If you have never worked with these wrappers before it may take a few of them to make you get used to it. Lay out 1 soaked wrapper on your surface. I place the shrimps and Chilis on the bottom then place the rest of veggies and top with noodles. Wrap the top over then both sides on, then roll up.Served with these some homemade peanut sauce. We love these in our house. Nice and fresh tasting and as always full of flavour. Peanut sauce: 1/2CUP peanut butter 1TBSP each lime juice & rice vinegar 2TBSP each brown sugar & soya sauce 2TSP garlic chili sauce 3 garlic cloves minced 1TBSP ginger root minced 3TBSP warm water Mix all the above together, top with crushed peanuts!

This was pretty delicious. Boneless turkey breast. I removed the skin and loaded top of breast with bread stuffing then put the skin back on. I used cooking thread and tied the skin tightly around stuffing and turkey breast. I placed it in a Dutch oven on a bunch of root vegs. Potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, dried cranberries, salt, pepper, thyme, sage, rosemary, 1CUP waterBake 350F covered for 1 and a half. Remove everything from pan and make a gravy with the drippings on the bottom.
