Another recipe with a pretty serious filter on the example photo. Even with Litsy‘s food filter, this soup is way more brown than gold. Maybe Australian creamed corn really is yellow enough to overcome the brownish broth you mix with brown sauce?
It‘s pretty tasty, at least. She cites it as a Chinese restaurant staple, but I‘ve never had it before or noticed it on a menu around here, and I ADORE my top restaurant‘s menu. A regional thing, maybe?
The library made me return my favourite cookbook (so rude), so I turned to my mum‘s favourite online chef for inspiration tonight. I once again suspect Nagi Maehashi used a filter to get the colours in her book‘s photo, but my Korean barbecue chicken thighs were delicious even if they weren‘t as gleaming red as hers. (They WERE slightly redder before I sliced them up and tossed them with rice.) I‘d make ‘em again.
My BN #bookhaul sale books. I have had these cookbooks on my wish list so when I saw that hardbacks were 1/3 off and I had gift cards, I went to BN and grabbed them.
