This one has fried mushrooms, scallions, and egg in it.

Cream Sauces

Wow, it's been a while since anyone has posted! Here are a couple of sauce recipes I've been using for a while.  They fit my definition of modular food since they can be used in so many different ways.  Also, they are concepts rather than strict recipes, and thus many variations are possible. Part of why I'm listing them is to make sure I still have the recipes should the original sites disappear. The first one is a wine cream sauce, more or less based on the recipe I found here . The basic proportions are 1 part wine to 2 parts cream.  I usually use leftover wine since it's no longer as nice for drinking.  For cream, I use whatever is available, whether half-and-half, light table cream, heavy or whipping cream, etc.  The proportions are not exact, of course, but it's a pretty good guideline.  The leftover wine can be pretty much any kind of decent tasting white or rose wine or even leftover champagne.  The quantity I make is dependent on how m...

I usually make a large batch of this on Sunday so I can bring it for lunches for most of the week. It keeps well and is good either fresh and hot or cold and several days old. This makes enough for 3 lunches for me. Personally I don't usually add chicken to this but you definitely could! You could definitely add more or different veggies, substitute some of the liquid with tomato sauce, push the flavors in different directions (many different cultures have some version of rice+chicken), etc. I've put more suggestions for changes below the recipe itself. This recipe is adapted from Smitten Kitchen's version here . 1 package (10 oz) grape tomatoes 1 bell pepper 1 onion 3 slices bacon 1 Tbsp rice vinegar olive oil 2 tsp dried oregano 1 tsp cumin minced garlic and/or granulated garlic some paprika salt and pepper 2 Turkish bay leaves 1 cup rice 2 cups liquid (bullion (beef, chicken, vegetable, etc) or water or stock, etc) (I have beef bullion so that's what...

Dinner tonight- fish with rice

I got a package of frozen tuna at the store last weekend, thawed the two smaller pieces this week, and finally cooked them this evening. I made a simple miso-soy marinade/sauce (just a heaped spoonful of miso and some soy sauce in a bowl and mixed until it's slightly thick) for the tuna (which I let sit in it while the rice cooked). I chopped two scallions and some garlic, which I fried first (to flavor the oil). Then I pan-fried the two tuna pieces, turning them over as they cooked on each side (as the marinade started caramelizing on the pan I scraped it off and added it to the scallions and garlic I pulled out earlier) . I added sesame seeds (partially for looks and partially because they're good) and a little bit of the pickled carrots and daikon radish (which didn't entirely go together with the different strong flavor of the tuna and marinade).
