Last night's dinner, fried catfish and hush puppies. Tried a new recipe for hush puppies it used a cup of pancake mix plus the corn meal. It made them a lot fluffier and tasted good but I'll probably use the family recipe next time.
Chili and cornbread on the menu tonight, beans soaking all night.

Made some baking powder biscuits today, need to modify the baking time on the recipe to cook a little longer. Put them back in for about 8 more minutes and they are better. I have enough leftover to make biscuits and gravy tomorrow, unless my son eats too many.

Made some spring rolls. I usually make enough to freeze for later as they fry up nicely straight from the freezer. I've tried them in the air fryer and while it does work it's not the same. I fry mine in a wok with canola oil.

I had some leftover pork potsticker filling in the freezer so I just mixed that with some bean thread, grated carrot, black fungus, shitake mushroom, finely minced onion, microplaned garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, white pepper, and an egg.

Made the standard dipping sauce of vinegar, sugar, water, fish sauce, garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes. I burnt the roof of my mouth with the first bite. I knew it was going to be hot but I ate one without letting it cool down some. That happens often.

My short ribs are ok but they aren't awesome. So I decided to buy a slew of short ribs and do an intensive on short ribs from the basic to the sublime. Leeks are in the water bathing! @Metasynth any tips?
Make sure to get a good sear on the short ribs. Are you braising them in beer and beef stock? If so, I suggest stout. Though red wine and veal demi glace is a good alternative. You doing them in a slow cooker? Stovetop? In the oven?
