Week 7 already :(

Week 7, woo! This is really going way too quickly it's insane! So today we made Smoked haddock gougeres which are basically pots of savory choux (like puff) cheesy pastry with a fish, tomato, spinich and white sauce filling. Mm hmm. No picture but just imagine a pot with a nemo swimming amongst some seaweed (the spinach) and some coral (the tomatoes), in a sandy sea (the white sauce), and that's what it looked like!

We then plated up the Orange and passionfruit jelly and the Caramel oranges we made yesterday:

Plate 1

Plate 2

Tart but not too much so, just enough to tie in with the sweetness of the caramel oranges. Great success.

I then came home and cooked for the family. I did Chicken Ramen, which basically just involved pan-frying some chicken (seasoned lightly with olive oil, salt & pepper), boiling 2L of water and adding 4 chicken stock pots to it, chopping up some pak choy (bok choy would work also), leek and beansprouts and cooking some rice noodles. To plate I put the noodles in the bowl first, put the pak choy, beansprouts and leek on top of the noodles, poured over the (hot) stock and added the chicken (rested for 5 min and sliced on a diagonal), bamboo shoots (just drained, from a tin), half a hard-boiled egg, and some chilli to garnish. WOO!

Winner winner chicken dinner ramen

Oh and I also burnt my finger taking the noodles out so I old wives taled it and lathered it in toothpaste to cool it down/help it heal which looks fun cos the toothpaste I have has those freshening strips in them! Only prob is now I have a toothpastey keyboard. Delicious.

And that's that for now!

Enjoy :)

Speak soon, love Steffi.
