Looking for foods to try and share a bit of my own culture. My family is cantonese viet and I grew up eating in a lot of traditional banquet hall restaurants. Usually these are dim sum menu for lunch and traditional shared foods for dinner. Most people have tried the common ones like siu mai (pork wrapper dumpling) and haw gow (shrimp rice dumpling) but my favorites are the uncommon ones like ngau zaap (beef offal) and baak wan fung zaau (pickled chicken feet).
Ngau zaap is basically braised brown sauce using off cuts, usually stomach and whatnot, with chinese radish. Its very savory, kinda like if you made an asian gravy.
Baak wan fung zaau is just chicken feet pickled in white vinegar. If you had pickled radish it’s essentially the same pickling and the chicken feet is gelatinous and a bit crunchy. You can also get them sometimes boneless since eating around the bones is kinda a pain. I really like pickled foods so this is one of my faves
Biscuits and gravy - the way I do it - make American breakfast sausage crumbles, add flour and butter to pan to start roux, add milk to make roux, pour over southern American biscuits.
Just made this for dinner the other night. So tasty!
Flour? Corn Starch Slurry? Where thickener?
It’s flour.
Could be either one. I make some killer biscuits and gravy with savory grits, and I learned from one Southern Belle Grandma to do it one way, and from the other SBG to do it the other way.
They said they add flour in their comment ;)
Personally, I prefer flour over corn starch, but ymmv!
Gotcha. I missed the flour with the butter. That is much earlier than I add my thickener. I wonder how they prevent lumps
The flour coats the sausage well enough that I’ve never had an issue with lumps that way. Could also push the sausage to one side of the pan, add the butter to the emptier side, and then whisk the flour in before stirring it into the rest of the sausage.
