I made Tofu Satay using the regular satay recipe. I did it with orange juice and I cooked it with a combination of the broiler and the oven (on a cooling rack inside a tray).
It worked pretty well in the oven but not as good as the grill (though much less work!).
I made the relish with onions since we didn't have scallions. And skipped the cilantro
We had frozen Satay Sauce I guess from last time

Meredith made Cream Biscuits again from The Food Lab. She followed the recipe but used 2 tsp salt (as opposed to 3/4 in the recipe). I think the extra salt really helped!
They were very good.

I made Spicy Asian Lettuce Wraps but with ground turkey. I browned the meat with some unrefined peanut oil for flavor and added a bit of soy sauce. I eventually had to drain the liquid. I used extra sriracha in the dressing but that was about it for changes.

I made butter chicken again. I followed some of my suggestions from last time though I forgot I wanted to add onions. My changes are below. This is really starting to take shape as my own recipe. It is still way healthier than what you find on the internet but I think the additional cream and butter help a lot. I can't wait to continue to iterate on the recipe!
We served it with rice and some small naans. We had leftover rice from last time, but I found one in the freezer from November, 2016. That was pretty old but it defrosted and tasted just fine.
I think next time the only major changes again would be to (remember!) add onion, And maybe toast the spices though I don't think they need it too much.

Meredith made this Inspiralized Recipe (LOCAL) for lunch (and a snack). I think she used squeezy-tube basil instead of fresh and mixed it in (rather than just garnish). I only ate it after it was sitting for a while but I thought it was pretty good and seemed pretty healthy.

For a holiday present, our friends got us a subscription to different spice kits. This was the first one we tried for Korean Tacos. The photos below really give the idea of the kit and the instructions. I followed it basically to the letter except I used Angus, Flat-Iron Beef Chuck for the meat and regular cabbage instead of Chinese. Oh, and I used pre-made guacamole instead of mashing an avocado.
Basically, you made a (quick) kimchi, a Sriracha ketchup side, and a stir-fry sauce. I actually liked the kimchi though it didn't taste like any kimchi I've ever had. I felt like the stir-fry sauce needed a lot more flavor and spice but wasn't bad. The ketchup was super smokey. I wasn't a huge fan of that.
Meredith, on the other hand, was not a huge fan of any of it but that may also be because the meat was kind of tough (even though I cut against the grain).
Still, I look forward to trying some of the other mixes we have.

Standard Taco Stew. It was nice since it was pretty fast and easy. Delicious as usual
