Homemade Chinese BBQ Pork – getting a jump on the char siu bao
While I have a few resolutions (complete another Whole30 and to learn more about my Nikon camera), most of my hopes for the new year involve cooking. I created a new page on this blog to track my food-complishments over the next 12 months, but here’s a quick run-down:
In no particular order, some food goals for 2015:
Make more dim sum! Particularly new ones like char siu bao and shu mai.
Make black licorice
Get better at phat si ew — try a few new recipes to find the best
Make three new recipes from the Pok Pok cookbook: som tam thai, ba mii tom yam muu haeng and the sweetened condensed milk affagato
Make more with masa — get better at tortillas, pupusas and tamales!
Make a sweet/spicy fruit/pepper jelly
Make corn chips (faux Fritos)
Make ginger beer
Make faux Goldfish crackers
Make more of these cookies and make cupcakes using these
Perfect at least 6 more Jello shot recipes
Make more bread (or at least lose my fear of yeast)
Make candied ginger
Make preserved lemons
Make some good Hot & Sour Soup
Learn some pressure cookery skills
Brew some beer
Cook more with friends!
Happy New Years, everyone — wishing you all a happy, healthy and prosperous 2015!
You won’t be bored in 2015, with goals like that! And you’ll never be at a loss for what to write about here, either!
So true! I’ll be busy up till next fall!
I can certainly help with a few of those! Let’s set some dates now!
Seriously! It’s been since tamales since we’ve cooked. Plans this week and next Saturday but after that…?
What a fun list! I have to add some of these to my list, too, liking cooking from PokPok!
That’s always a good one! Every recipe I’ve made has been awesome so I have high hopes for the ones to follow.
Making more deliciousness? I’ll drink to that!
Cheers to a year full of good food! =)
fantastic! Love that you’re holding yourself accountable here. Great list. Funny that I made a sort-of similar resolution involving cocktails 🙂
I’m thinking this list will be more success than lists like “get more organized” and “eat less candy.” 😉 Those haven’t served me well in the past. Very curious about your cocktail resolution! Sounds like a winning idea as well.
