Was craving an old favorite dish we go downtown for from Red Ginger (the old Kam's Singaporean Cuisine) restaurant. So decided to try to replicate it at home. It turned out almost exactly like Kam's dish. So good. Sweet and savory delicious.

For the de- boned thigh meat coating I mixed cake flour, baking powder, corn starch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cracked pepper, sea salt, citrus spice mix with two eggs. Then rolled the meat around in the mixture. Then I sauteed some julienne onion, carrots and chopped green onion. For the glaze sauce I melted butter then mixed in honey, brown sugar, light soy sauce, sambal oelek chile paste, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, minced ginger and minced garlic. When the glaze sauce heated and simmered I added the sauted onion, carrots and green onion to it. After double frying (makes the coating extra crispy while keeping the inside tender) the meat pieces I tossed the meat in the glaze sauce to completely coat it. Served it over home made coconut rice and garnished with lemon zest, chives, cilantro and roasted sesame seeds.

Those burgers look awesome.... anyway I could get a recipe rain city
Its hardly a recipe but sure! I don't use any filler or egg. Just hand chop into small peices. I never use a food processor because I like the texture of hand chopped better, like a tartar. I add a bit of red pepper, parsley or dill, green onions, sometimes jalapeno, sometimes a little garlic, salt and pepper. The best thing to do is form the patties and leave them in the fridge for at least a half hour. Because there's no "glue" added you have to be really careful when frying them. Get the pan really hot and cook them for three or four minutes on one side, flip and cook for another minute. Getting a good sear on them helps hold them together. You can't really bbq these, they'll fall apart. I make a tarter sauce, I pickle some red onions, chopped lettuce and avacado.

Don't forget to take pictures or it never happened. ;)

Meat **** anyone?
Pre ordered an Alberta prime grade AAAA prime rib roast from Cioffi's and had them dry age it for 46 days for me. Picked it up yesterday along with some short ribs (to die for braised with a red wine herb, garlic, tomato veggie sauce), chuck steak (I grind for burgers) Italian sausage, imported cheeses, and a couple bone marrow bones (I roast in the oven with salt, pepper, garlic and chives then spread on artisan toast-crazy delicious). Had them trim and cut the roast up into 1.5" thick steaks. I do a reverse sear on the steaks so the thick cut is great for that after searing the outside then finishing in the oven for an even internal temperature. This is some of the best meat I have ever eaten. Dry aging gives a rich complex flavor to the meat. Almost like a sweeter, earthy nutty flavor. So delicious. Buying prime grade long dry aged prime rib is very pricey but when ordering it in a whole roast and in advance saves quite a bit of money. Cioffi's is in Burnaby and they have three stores all on E Hastings; ones a deli, ones a hot food sit in cafe, and the third is the butcher shop. They even bring in Australian Wagyu if your into really crazy melt in your mouth heavy marbled meat. The cost of the Wagyu though is crazy expensive. I bought two Wagyu steaks prior to this trip too but haven't tried them yet.

That's good stuff, one of our family favs is similar but with halibut or prawns, we usually go Asian and add coconut fat from the top of a can of milk, ginger, green onions etc. A trick I learned from my favorite celeb chef for these fish patties is to take a bit of the diced mixture and toss it into a food processor or magic bullet with a splash of olive oil then mix it back into the diced pieces. Blending it turns it into a super sticky paste that makes a great binder and makes them bbq friendly. You can also make sure any strong herbs disappear in the paste so you just get a kiss and not a punch in the face when you hit a chunk.

Lol ya Scott I know it's crazy how fast I'm losing weight. I got big lol. Still got more to lose. Ya even some of those meals that look like they are carby aren't except for the hamburger/fries one. That one was wife's mother's day request dinner so I ate more carbs that day. The pizza is a low carb crust recipe, the pasta is a lower carb high fiber pasta, and the cheese cake is a low carb cheesecake with protein powder in it. I'm also working out a few days a week and cycling a few days a week as well as intermittent fasting where I only eat once a day every 23 hrs. When all the weight is lost I want to lose I'll adjust to a more maintenance type of eating schedule. It was the snacking all the time and carbs that was packing on my weight :confused:
 
Made some fish burgers the other night. Marinated some salmon bellies as well in a teriyaki sauce. Threw them in the bbq. Quite tasty indeed!
Also, some nice garlic aioli sauce for a spread.
