Daikon and Carrot Pickle Recipe (Do Chua) “Dilly the Pickle” emailed last week to announce that the 2009 International Pickle Week goes from May 15 to 25 (pickleweek.com). That' s more like 11/2 weeks, but I didn't care because I’m a sucker for cute cartoon icons and pickles of any kind, so I looked in the fridge for my go-to Vietnamese pickle – do chua made of tangy sweet daikon and carrot. This ubiquitous Vietnamese pickle is what’s stuffed into banh mi sandwiches, served alongside morsels such as grilled beef in wild betel leaf (thit bo la lot), and added to salads. Sadly, my jar of daikon and carrot pickle was mostly brine and a few floating white and orange sticks of vegetables.

Beer-Battered Fried Pickles I’m fairly certain there is nothing more satisfying to eat than a fried pickle. The sad part is that it took me 29 years to discover this. Last year I tasted my first fried pickle in an Irish pub in California and I was forever transformed. The best part? Get out your trusty skillet and pour in a thick layer of oil. Next, combine the eggs and the beer in a bowl. Whisk them up well and get them nice and frothy. Sprinkle in the salt… And then little by little add the flour to the liquid ingredients. Get your pickle slices close to you while the oil heats up. Use a pair of tongs or a fork and dip them in the batter one by one. They should be nicely coated. The pickles will bubble and pop and after about 2 minutes … Flip them over so that they brown on the other side. You also might want to take the temperature of the oil along the way to make sure it doesn’t drop too much. Once they are golden brown, lay them on a wire rack and sprinkle them liberally with salt to help them crisp up. Description
Mac and Cheese Cups Share this image Share It Pin It When I first graduated from college, and was living in a dreary little apartment, mac and cheese was one of my few specialties. Nutella Banana Gyoza Yesterday I showed you how to make your own gyoza wrappers. When it comes to filling them, the sky is the limit! You’ll be hearing about a more traditional style of gyoza later this month in the Washoku Warrior roundup, so today I’m going to share a simple filling that is a bit more unexpected. After cooking up some savory gyoza for dinner the other day, I had leftover homemade wrappers. I couldn’t let those yummy wrappers go to waste, so I decided to whip up a dessert that would use them up. I decided to pay homage to my favorite crêpe by making a gyoza with the same fillings. Each month there will be lots of great Nutella recipes popping up in the blogosphere by food bloggers, too, so check them out by searching #Nutella or #TNC on Twitter, or by taking a look at The Nutella Challenge Blogroll. bell’ alimento has already posted a yummy recipe for Nutella gelato that is now on my “must make” list. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
