Ladies and gentlemen, today yours truly don on chef’s hat and pretend that I know something about cooking. The recipe you are about to read comes from the Southern part of the country that likes to police the world. Yes, that would be U S of A.
We are going to learn about fried okra, on of my all time favorite beer food that isn’t served in any restaurant this side of Pacific.
fried okra ingredients – okra, pepper, salt, egg, milk
First, the ingredients, and they are fairly simple:
- okra (or lady finger, if you prefer)
- half a cup of milk
- one egg
- a cup of corn flour
- a tea spoon of salt
- pepper to taste
- other spices optional (be imaginative, if you would)
fried okra makes for awesome beer food
Then, the steps, this is child’s play in terms of cooking, no post graduate degree in culinary field is required:
- slice or chop okra into bite size
- beat the egg, milk, salt, pepper, and corn flour in a mixing bowl till even
- coat the okra
- fry till golden brown
- serve while hot!
This is one yummy snack that goes very well with cold beer, Kilkenny, Heineken, Guinness, anything! I brought this as my contribution to Suan’s xmas eve potluck, and was happy that it was well received. Even master chef Lance liked it, and that is plenty good for me 😀
mimi bacon pizza by Haze
Haze came up with this concoction that she called mini bacon pizza. The ingredient’s pretty straight forward:
- bread
- bacon (as many slice as you have bread
- pasta sauce (tomato base)
- mozzarella  cheese
- oregano spice
Steps:
- flatten the bread (she had somehow forgotten this part then…)
- spread pasta sauce on bread, then add cheese and oregano
- carefully lay a strip of that precious bacon on top
- roll everything up and hold it with a toothpick
- fry till golden brown (for the health freaks, you can also bake them)
The result certainly did not disappoint either, I liked it a lot too!
clam chowder (Lance), bacon pasta (Suan), roast chicken (Kim), sausage (Horng)
Lance brought a pot of clam chowder that had uses some sort of bacon stock, it was by far the best clam chowder I’ve ever had! You can actually order it at bbq-addicts.com, I guarantee that you’ll be 100% satisfied!
Suan cooked up some bacon carbonara that turned out to be the best pasta she’s ever made, Kim too roasted a chicken, very juicy, and tasted plenty awesome right out of her new oven! Horng made some sort of east-meet-west sausage for the potluck.
xmas eve party at Suanie’s crib
The little get-together over xmas eve turned out to be a very gastronomically satisfying event. We had a little bit to drink (there’ll be plenty more for NYE in a few days’ time at Michael’s), and spent the night reliving the old tradition of watching Euro Trip all over again.
