Duck It. Fried Rice Again. (Too Good Not To)

Do you ever decide that Tonight is Thee Night that you are going to get hammered? Yeah, me too. Luckily, B thinks it’s funny when I throw up. But you know what he doesn’t think is funny? My face getting splattered with hot wok oil. I think that’s why he took over the cheffing of our Duck Fried Rice the other night. You knew that duck fried rice was coming, right? Cause I made duck breastesess the other night and you know I didn’t finish my plate. And what’s better than eating duck for dinner? Eating duck for leftovers the next night. Wordemup.

I don’t usually put pics of the ingredients /\ but thought it would save some time so yall would know what I was blathering about.

Duck Fried Rice

1/2 or 1 cup spicy kimchi
fermented beans, korean style, if you can find em. If not, no big woop.
carrots, julienne
cooked duck, cubed, however much your fat ass wants
1 scoop of bean paste
5 cups of cooked rice
1/8 c of soy or tamari
1 cup of cilantro, chopped
2 scallions, sliced
sesame, drizzled on top
Sirachi, for garnish, if desired
Serves 2 drunk mother fuckers.

Heat your wok. Depending on how well seasoned it is (seasoned means oily), you may or may not have to use a bit of oil. Veg or peanut oil work juuuust fine. Heat your work and add the oil. When the oil is hot, throw in your kimchi. For this recipe, I like to use the one with all the veg in it and not just the cabbage. When heated through, throw in the beans and the carrots. After the carrots are heated through, toss in your meat. Add in a generous dollop of bean paste and mix. After 60 seconds, move it all to the side and add your rice. Fry for a smidge and then stir well until everything is incorporated. Add the soy sauce or tamari – which ever one you are using. When everything is nice and hot and you’re drooling, serve into two eatin bowls. Garnish with cilantro, scallions and sesame oil. I also add… wait for it… sirachi. Duh.

Chicky Chicky

In a short-lived attempt to eat less red meat, I been cookin the hell out of some chicken. Chicken is fun to cook with cause you can make it be anything you want. Blank freakin canvas, I always say. So, I thought I would get creative and make up a good ol sarnie. Check yourself before you wreck yourself.

Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Pickled Carrots, Watercress and Chipotle Yogurt

thin chicken breasts
juice of 1 lemon
carrots, shredded
the brine of your favorite spicy pickle
watercress
1 10oz plain yogurt (get the kind with active cultures cause they’re good for the vagina)
1 tbs chipotle seasoning
1 tsp cayenne pepper
delish bread of your choosing
salt and pepper to taste
oil for your grill

This serves 2.

Salt, pepper, and squirt lemon juice your chicken cutlets. Toss em on a stovetop grill. Now. This is very important, so listen up. If you want those cool ass grill marks on your meat like you see in the movies, drop your meat on the grill and let it chill for a few minutes. Don’t be all up in its face and moving it around and such or you’ll never sear those precious stripes. Leave it alone.

Anywho. If your chicken was pounded thin or cut thin, it will grill for about 4 minutes on each side, so you better get to workin.

Shred your carrots with the widest shredder you got. Grab your favorite pickles from the fridge. Mines For. Sure. are McClures Spicy Pickles. Hoe Man. Go Get urselves some now.

Anywho. Grab your favorite pickles from the fridges and pour some of the brine over your carrots. Ideally, you would have done this the day before. But, if you’re like me, you didn’t, and the carrots are more mild than you’d like. Set aside.

Grab your yogurt. Throw in the chipotle and cayenne. Mix well. Set aside.

Wash the watercress and dry well.

Cut your bread, throw on a healthy amount of watercress, add the chicken, then the carrots, then the yogurt. Eat and complain that the yogurt was only ALRIGHT. On the real, I would maybe try a different sauce for this. Got any good ideas? Maybe cayenne and paprika? Maybe substitute the yogurt with mayo and use less? Dunno, but don’t lie… that sammich looks real nice.
