Karl’s Chinese Chicken with Oyster Mushrooms

Eilene is at a party on a Saturday night and that means that Jan and I can have an ingredient that she doesn’t like, mushrooms. Chicken and mushrooms, a Chinese restaurant standard, came to mind. To go with this main dish, I chose Chinese broccoli as the vegetable, but what was to be my starch? The standard Chinese accompaniment to these dishes would be steamed white rice. However, Jan loves pan fried noodles, so that is where I went. Form a mundane Saturday night meal this had turned into restaurant quality fare.

Karl’s Chicken Alfredo Casserole

Eilene’s friends are coming over for their usual Thursday night TV marathon—The Avengers this week. I have made mac & cheese for them several times and I am getting a bit board with it. I decided to do a different cheesy noodle dish using an Alfredo sauce.

Karl’s Creole Chicken Gumbo

The kids are coming over this Sunday. Last week, Miriam and Chris requested gumbo with okra, a signature Louisiana dish. I used to live in Gretna, across the river from the Big Easy, so I became very fond of Louisiana cuisine.

Karl’s Chicken Tandoori Meatballs

One of our favorite meals during our stay in Hong Kong was tandoori chicken. What—you might think—does Hong Kong have to do with Indian food? When the British took possession of Hong Kong in 1841, they brought many Indian servants with them. After a hundred and fifty years some of these servants became entrepreneurs, some starting their own businesses and becoming quite wealth. As a result—at least 20 years ago—Hong Kong had some truly excellent Indian restaurants, tucked away is surprising corners.

Karl’s Thai Sweet Chili Wings

I was left to make lunch just for myself, so I thought I would make some chicken wings. I had some frozen chicken wings and sauce on hand. Why go out and buy them? This is for one person, but you may easily increase it for as many people as you have.

Karl’s Avgolemono Soup II (Greek Egg and Lemon Soup)

Jan’s friend needed a soft soup after her oral surgery and Jan’s family is descending upon us. Blended soups are the order of the day. In addition to Ezo Gelin and Maafe, I will be making another soup I have made before, Avgolemono.

Karl’s Mimi’s Sick Chicken Soup

When we lived in China, Miriam acquired the nickname “Mimi.” Originally this meant “Kitty cat.” Her kindergarten teacher changed one tone, so that it meant “Riddle cat,”  because she asked so many questions.

Karl’s Coq au Riesling

Adapted from a Cook’s Illustrated recipe

Last week I made a hunter’s chicken. Jan asked for the same again when her old school friends, the aunties, came for Stitches this weekend. I did not want to do the exact same thing, so I made something much closer to a recipe in Cook’s Illustrated this month.

Karl’s Chicken Cacciatore (Hunter’s Chicken)

Many European countries have some variation of hunter’s chicken: the Italian pollo alla cacciatore, the French poulet chasseur and coq au vin, and the German hühnchen nach jägerart. The general idea of this dish is that you make it with the ingredients that a hunter would have on hand while out in the woods. Many modern versions include tomatoes and are served over pasta.

Karl’s Sichuan Roasted Chicken with Honey Lemon Glaze and Stir-fried Vegetables

Jan and Eilene just got back from Hopi. Traveling in Arizona, other than chilies, most places they ate did not use any spices, beyond salt and culinary ash—the additive that turns blue corn meal dishes blue. Now that they are home, they want spicy dishes for dinner.
