THE SHIT I EAT WHEN I’M BY MYSELF – GRILLED CURRY CHEESE, iPHONE ONLY

[ezcol_1third] NOT KNOWING IF (THE SWEAT) WAS DUE TO THE HEAT OF THE KITCHEN, OR HOT-FLASHES AS EARLY SIGNS OF MENOPAUSE [/ezcol_1third] [ezcol_2third_end] OK, so it's been awhile since I last did The Shit I Eat When I'm By Myself Series, and I thought today - the day I turn 35, the day when the oestrogen has officially left the party, the day when avocado becomes a face-cream instead of food - is a good time to rekindle (it's called letting it go).  And also, because I got this lovely birthday present from you-know-who, I thought I will follow Tiffany and do a post entirely shot/edited by iPhone 6 only!  Initially, I thought it would be the most liberating thing ever, not having to carry a heavy and bulky camera while dripping sweat, not knowing whether it's due to the heat from the kitchen or hot-flashes as early signs of menopause

LAST SHIT – THE 3 FOUNDING DONBURI, THE ART OF EATING CANNED MEATS

[ezcol_1half] (THEY CAN) TRANSFORM INTO SURPRISING DELICIOUSNESS OF ELEGANCE AND COMPLEXITY [/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end] THIS is the last post (for awhile at least) of the new week-long segment, The Shits I Eat When I'm By Myself.  Jason is coming home tomorrow, and if you were any decent, none of us is ever going to speak of what happened here in the last few days

[ezcol_1fifth]  [/ezcol_1fifth] [ezcol_3fifth] WHEN I'M REALLY BUSY. THIS IS WHAT I EAT. [/ezcol_3fifth] [ezcol_1fifth_end]  [/ezcol_1fifth_end] [ezcol_1half][/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end][/ezcol_1half_end] Serving: 1 Extremely easy and addictively satisfying, this is a beloved comfort-food in Chinese cuisine, with each region having their own twisted interpretations.  The use of bacon is of course, a Western adaption, but you could also use pancetta or salted pork as substitute.  Whatever you use, you will be amazed at how much flavour and depth you can extract with just these simple ingredients, plus the technique of deeply caramelizing/almost charring the scallions in pork-fat.  It transform the fresh scallion flavour into something, intensely aromatic and worlds-away. With Asian recipes, I try to provide the exact brand of condiments I used whenever possible.  But this time, I couldn't find the exact Asian black vinegar I have, so I provided a link to a similar product.  If you already have a favourite brand, or even just regular balsamic vinegar, they should be able to work as good replacement in this particular case. Thin, fresh Asian noodles work best with this recipe, but if unavailable, dried wheat noodles can work, too. [ezcol_1half] Ingredients: 1 serving (7 oz/200 grams) of fresh thin Asian noodle, or equivalent amount of dried noodle 2 strips of fatty bacon, thinly sliced
