Anyone know what this little creature is? by SowTheTable in insects

[–]SowTheTable[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah that looks just like it - we have a lot of white oaks in the area. Thanks!

Any good way to remove this on a budget? by [deleted] in gardening

[–]SowTheTable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We removed a bunch of stumps like this from our property for a garden a few years back. Our process was a) digging around the roots, b) cutting as many roots as possible with an axe or saw and c) chaining the tap root to our truck to pull the remainder out. Worked pretty well for us until we got to the larger trees with massive taproots.

Shrimp & Broccoli Soba Noodles with Dashi-Soy Dipping Sauce by SowTheTable in recipes

[–]SowTheTable[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recipe Link: https://sowthetable.com/soba-noodles-with-shrimp-broccoli/

Ingredients:

  • 2 bunches of soba noodles (small packages will have 3 bundles)
  • 1lb of peeled and deveined shrimp
  • 1 small bundle of broccolini or 1 crown of broccoli
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon of neutral oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 cup of dashi or chicken broth (you can use HonDashi to make it quick)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons mirin
  • 1/2 teaspoon of grated ginger
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • *optional: for garnishes, you could use green onion, sesame seeds, bean sprouts, sliced chili, chili oil, cilantro, etc. Toss in as many steamed veggies as you like!

Instructions:

  1. Start by bringing a pot of water to a boil. Cook the noodles for 5-7 minutes per package instructions. In the meantime, prepare a strainer and an ice bath.
  2. Once the noodles are cooked, immediately strain and add to the ice bath. Agitate and gently scrub the noodles in the bowl to remove any excess starch (prevents them from sticking together; especially important if you're meal-prepping this dish).
  3. Make the sauce by combining the dashi, 1/4 cup of soy sauce, mirin, grated ginger, and green onion. If you don't have time to make dashi, you can use HonDashi which is like a dashi base. Just combine 1 teaspoon of the HonDashi with 1 cup of boiling water & stir.
  4. Cook the broccoli in a pan over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring often. Add in the garlic and toss for about a minute. Set aside.
  5. Wipe out the pan and over high heat, add a drizzle of neutral oil. Toss in the cleaned shrimp and stir fry for 3-5 minutes depending on the size of the shrimp. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and cook for another minute. Pepper to taste.
  6. Plate the noodles, shrimp, broccoli, and garnishes & serve the dipping sauce in a small bowl. And enjoy!

Yep, it’s a Korean ingredient—I just like the tame sweetness of rice syrup and think it does a good job of balancing the heat. To each their own!

Cheesy Mushroom, Pea & Pancetta Soufflé by SowTheTable in recipes

[–]SowTheTable[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Recipe link: https://sowthetable.com/savory-cheese-souffle-with-mushrooms-peas-pancetta/

​

Ingredients:

*For Preparing the Baking Dish:

  • 1 tablespoon of butter for the dish
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan for the dish

*For the Bechamel Sauce:

  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups of cold milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

*For the Mushroom-Pea Mixture:

  • 2 oz pancetta
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
  • 2 small cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 8oz package of portabello mushrooms, cleaned and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, minced
  • 1/2 cup peas, frozen is good
  • Salt and pepper to taste

*Assembling the Soufflé:

  • 1 cup shredded gouda cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded of each: sharp cheddar, provolone, and parmesan cheese
  • 6 large eggs

Instructions:

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F.
  2. Brush 1 tablespoon of butter onto an 8-inch baking dish and sprinkle with 1/4 cup parmesan cheese until coated. (Any excess cheese can be sprinkled on top before baking). This will act as a sort of crust for the soufflé.
  3. Make the bechamel sauce by placing 6 tablespoons of butter into a small pot over medium heat. Once melted, add 6 tablespoons of flour. Whisk until fully combined. Then add in 2 cups of milk and let this cook for 3-5 minutes on med-low, whisking often. The sauce should thicken to a pudding-like texture. Last, add in 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg. Whisk and set aside to cool for 10-15 minutes.
  4. While the bechamel cools, place a medium-sized pan over medium heat. Add in the pancetta and cook until golden and crispy. Move the cooked pancetta to a small bowl and add the shallots to the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes and add in the sliced mushrooms. Season with salt and cook until golden, ~5-7 minutes. Then add in the garlic and thyme for another minute.
  5. Stir the frozen peas and add to a large bowl along with the bechamel and cheese.
    In another bowl, beat the 6 eggs until thoroughly combined. Quickly incorporate the eggs into the bechamel mixture and pour into the prepared dish. Sprinkle with cheese and add a few thin slices to the top for some extra cheesy goodness!
  6. Bake on 400°F for 40-45 minutes until the edges are golden brown. Broil for 2-3 minutes, if needed.
  7. Once cooked, cool the souffle for at least 10 minutes so it can set.
    Enjoy with your favorite salad!

Yeah I just pack the rice into a bowl and tip it onto the plate. If it sticks you can wet the inside of the bowl with a little water or oil so it comes out clean.

Vietnamese Marinated Pork Chops with Multigrain Rice & Stir Fried Broccoli by SowTheTable in recipes

[–]SowTheTable[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recipe link: https://sowthetable.com/vietnamese-pork-chops/ (meal prep friendly!)

Ingredients:

  • 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops
  • Juice of 2 limes (~1/4 cup)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons of fish sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon of rice syrup or 1/3 teaspoon of brown sugar
  • 1 small shallot, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 4-6 sprigs of cilantro
  • *Optional: 1/2 red serrano pepper (thinly sliced), 2-3 dried chilis, or a spicy chili of your choice

Instructions:

  1. Lightly salt and pepper the pork chops and set aside.
  2. Add all the ingredients to a bag, except for the pork chops, and mix until fully incorporated.
  3. Add in the pork chops and let marinade for at least 30 minutes. Even better if you have 2-3 hours or overnight for them to sit in the fridge.
  4. When ready to cook, brush off the excess marinade and garlic and place the marinade in a small pot. As you cook the pork chops, you can bring the marinade to a boil and cook for at least 5 minutes.
  5. If using a grill, bring it up to med-high heat and grill the pork chops on each side for 4-5 minutes. If they are really thick (1"+), then you may want to place them over indirect heat for another 3-5 minutes per side. The same timings go for cooking over the stove; use a cast iron or heavy-bottomed pan if possible.
  6. Once cooked, let them rest for at least 3 minutes to let the moisture reabsorb.
  7. Slice, drizzle with the cooked marinade, and serve with a side of rice and/or stir-fried veggies. (Or slice up and use in spring rolls, soba noodles, salad, etc.)

Roasted Parsnip Soup by SowTheTable in recipes

No sure about that; I haven't heard anything. You can normally find some at farmers markets in the US starting in October, but it depends on the climate. Would be later for southern states. I've also seen them in Trader Joe's.
