Pork Eggroll Soup

I love egg rolls in all iterations: spring roll, fried veggie roll, traditional pork roll, cheeseburger, avocado.... and now, soup!

Ingredients:

1 egg

Chicken broth

14 ounce bag of shredded cabbage

2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 bunch scallion, sliced

2 garlic cloves, minced

10 ounces ground pork

4 six inch tortillas

Method:

Finely chop 2 tortillas. In a medium bowl, stir to combine ground pork, chopped scallions,, holding some back for garnish, chopped tortillas, 1 large egg, half of the minced garlic, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Shape into 16 mini meatballs.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large pot over medium-high. Cook meatballs in batches, turning once, until browned. Transfer to a bowl. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons oil from pot.

Add cabbage and remaining chopped garlic to same pot over medium-high. Cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pot, until golden and wilted, 2–3 minutes. Stir in broth, 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce. Add meatballs; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer, uncovered, until meatballs are cooked through.

Meanwhile, cut the remaining tortillas into thin strips. Heat 4 tablespoons oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high. Working in batches if necessary, fry tortilla strips, stirring, until golden and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.

Season pork egg roll soup to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and top with tortilla strips and scallion dark greens. Enjoy!

Peek-a-boo Squares

My grandma, Mimi, taught me this recipe. I used to make this with her and my mother as a child. It is my very favorite dessert. It is incredibly easy to make, and even easier to eat. My favorite part of making this as a child was dusting every bar generously with snowy white powdered sugar. My favorite version of this dessert uses canned blueberry pie filling; I vastly prefer Libby brand over the store brand. You can make blueberry pie filling from scratch with sugar, cornstarch, bleberries, etc. but using the canned stuff is easy in a pinch and is much for nostalgic for me. Plus, I don’t notice a vast improvement over my homemade blueberry pie filling and the Libby brand; it just takes me longer to put this dessert together. I have been known to whip up a pan of these Friday night and have them disappear by Saturday afternoon. Be warned, these things are addictive! Ingredients: 3 cups of all-purpose flour 2 cups of granulated sugar 4 eggs 2 ...

Samosas with Yogurt Sauce

I love exploring many kinds of cuisine in my kitchen because I can control the spice level, and in the case of this recipe, the use of cilantro. Cilantro lovers out there- sub it info the parsley here. I have the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap, which limits my ability to enjoy some dishes in restaurants, but is easily rectified in my own kitchen. I hope you enjoy! Ingredients: 3 russet potatoes 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped 2 teaspoons curry powder 5 ounces peas Six 8 inch flour tortillas 4 ounces Greek yogurt Oil, salt, pepper, vinegar 4 tablespoons butter Method: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Cover and bring to a boil over high; uncover and cook until tenderDrain potatoes and transfer to a bowl. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in reserved saucepan over medium. Add chopped garl...

Almond Christmas Cookies

I have taken quite a long hiatus from this blog- we have been building the barn and bought my two horses, Cowboy and Sven home, and I have passed all my doctoral comps and orals (for my musical arts in vocal performance degree- I am not going to be a medical doctor).... It is my favorite time of the year- that narrow slice between Thanksgiving and Christmas. As a singer, teacher, and student, it is an incredibly busy time of year, but I love making time in the kitchen. Happily, these almond cookies are very easy to make, and even easier to clean up after. And almond is my favorite flavor for a sweet treat, especially paired with a sweet vanilla glaze. Enjoy! Ingredients: Cookies: 8 tablespoons softened butter 3 large eggs, room temp 2 1/4 all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons almond extract Glaze: 1 1/3 cup powdered sugar 3 tablespoons whole milk 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 tablespoons nonpareils Method: Cream togethe...
