Pork Bulgogi Bāozi (Steamed Korean BBQ Buns) Hands down, my favorite food experience in the universe (so far — who knows, maybe something really awesome is goin’ down on Mars) is going to yum cha, or eating at a dim sum restaurant. Dim sum is a Chinese tea-like meal where a variety of amazing dishes are served as small plates. At a typical dim sum restaurant, carts full of steamed dumplings, fried eggplant, roasted pork buns, custard cakes, Chinese broccoli, sesame balls, and other treats traverse the dining room, replenishing each table. It sounds pretty heavenly, right?
If you haven’t tried it, you really should. I think the restaurant atmosphere contributed more than a little bit to my anxiety. My real trepidation, though, came from having no idea how dim sum worked. Mike, thankfully, was calm. These buns aren’t your average heavy, dense bread. Y’all, that day has come — except, inspired by the McCormick 2012 Flavor Forecast, a report that highlights up-and-coming flavor trends around the world, I decided to mix it up. 223702306461688391_7mezsBey_c.jpg (553×3613)
Gourmet Gaming, Request: Kirby’s Dream Land / Super Smash Bros.... Request: Kirby’s Dream Land / Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Superspicy Curry This request came direct from my resident taste tester as he’d been asking for a curry for a few weeks now. Superspicy Curry originally appeared in the classic Kirby’s Dream Land for the Game Boy and it gave Kirby the ability to spit fireballs. It’s never appeared in a Kirby game since (due to the invention of the ‘copy ability’ mechanic) but it does appear in Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Although I played Dream Land many, many years ago, I’m more familiar with it as it appears in Super Smash Bros.

Request: Persona 4 – Aiya Rainy Day Special Mega Beef Bowl Back in the initial days of Gourmet Gaming I made the Steak Skewers from Persona 4.
It was one of my earliest requests and the first popular post that seemed to strike something within the incredible Persona fan-base. I thought it was only fair that after a slew of new requests for the Aiya Rainy Day Special Mega Beef Bowl that I repay their kindness and revisit Persona 4 as a game that’s helped make Gourmet Gaming what it is today. To be honest the thing that sold me on making this dish was the idea that this “bowl is a portal to the meat dimension”.

Gourmet Gaming. Request: Golden Axe - The Meat The requester asked for the “Golden Axe chicken leg”, I read this and thought oh yeah the “chicken leg”. I then fired up the game (sadly on the Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collect for Xbox, not on a Mega Drive as I did back in the day) and smacked that little gnome with his green bag and out popped this… this thing.
It wasn’t a chicken leg. It wasn’t a leg of lamb. It wasn’t anything like I’d remembered seeing before. What the hell is that roll of meat on a bit of bone? It’s probably come from one of those lizard-bird steeds (edit: It’s apparently a Cockatrice…) you get to majestically ride on for about 5 seconds before some bitch in a bikini beats you off it.

When I got to High School I was lucky enough to have one friend who also played games, who interestingly enough looked an awful lot like Link… He invited me over to his house with the intention of playing the Resident Evil GameCube remake, but instead we played the Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

Like this? <a href=" Project Food Blog 2010: Picture Perfect. First of all, thank you all for voting me through to Round 4 of Project Food Blog . The response to my “Around the World on a Plate” dinner post was absolutely overwhelming – I am glad so many people enjoyed a virtual trip around the world… Secondly, you didn’t think you I would take part in Project Food Blog and involve my boys’ cooking club, Les Petits Chefs , did you? Working with little people in the kitchen is about being prepared and breaking everything down into micro-steps so I couldn’t think of a better fit for this challenge than a recipe created by 8 and 9 year-old boys!
The challenge prompt reads: Staying true to the spirit of my blog, it wouldn’t be right for me to do an elaborately staged photo post where everything is perfect. Which recipe? For this post, instead of simply writing the recipe out, I am annotating it with what really goes on when kids cook in the kitchen (in blue). Marcel and Ritvik worked on the tikka masala paste. (makes 3/4 cup) 1 teaspoon cumin seeds.

Kitchen 101: Fruits, Vegetables & Herbs I’d be remiss if I simply focused on imparting technical knowledge in the Kitchen 101 series here at Chasing Delicious. I’d be downright neglectful if I didn’t talk about ingredients, particularly the biggest misconception about produce today: that it is naturally available year-round. Though you may be able to find just about every type of fruit, vegetable, and herb in the grocery store every day of the year, a majority of this produce is not in season. If you are buying strawberries in December, you are likely purchasing a fruit that was picked six months ago and stored in a climate controlled facility ever since.
Time spent in transit or storage is not the only inflated aspect of buying produce out of season. The biggest problem with buying out of season produce, and the focus of this article, is the lack of freshness and sacrifice in flavor and nutrients. That being said, there are many factors that effects a particular ingredients season.
