Simple "Weird" Food at Home

There are a lot of us Asian people eat that non-Asian people would consider "weird".  Tofu that smells like stinky feet, intestines that poo poo passed through, blood, brain, snake, turtle.... you name it, we eat it.  But those are the dishes that I grow up eating.  So one night I made "weird" food dinner for Dr. P to try.


鹹蛋蒸肉 Steamed Turkey with Salted Egg

Sorry for the photo of the eaten dish.  haha...  I didn't plan to write about the dish and didn't take a picture after cooking it.  Then I had some, and it was really good so I decided to write about it.  The weird food in this dish was salted duck egg.  You can buy those salted duck egg in any Chinese supermarket.  I made the dish with ground turkey meat because that what I had in my fridge.  You can also make it with pork.  I used about 1 pound of turkey, chopped the egg white from 2 salted egg, saved the yolk, and mixed the egg white with the meat.  Seasoned it with some soy sauce, white pepper, a little cornstarch, and water.  Placed the meat mixture in a bowl or plate, put the yolk on top, and steamed.  It was super easy to make.  The meat pie is great with rice or porridge.



酸菜豬肚 Pork Stomach with Pickled Vegetable

I've trained Dr. P to eat intestine, kidney, and blood.  But he hasn't tried pork stomach.  I saw a pre-package pack in 99 Ranch Market.  It had pork stomach, pickled vegetable, ginger, and chili all ready to go in one pack for $4.00.  All I had to do is sauteed the content with some oil, soy sauce, and sugar.  I like the taste of pickled vegetable a lot.

So Dr. P tried both dishes.  He said it was good, and finished a big bowl of rice.  But he kept on finding excuses not to eat the leftover.  So I am still not sure if he really likes it or not.  But  I enjoyed my Taiwanese style "weird" dinner.  ^^
