You know I love a hummus bowl! Made some pickled eggs 🥚 the other day and then did a bit of a fridge clean-out to top it up. Had some artichokes, banana peppers, olives, sesame seeds and sumac. Pretty good⁠ 👍🏻

Went wonton wild 🥟🥟🥟Even cooked up a batch with a crunchy lil lace bottom. I was in need of some soothing monotonous activity, and making a tray full of dumplings was the perfect thing for that.⁠
⁠
Used some pre-made wrappers this time from @nasoya and I would highly recommend them. I do like making the wrappers from scratch, just cause I like playing with dough, but didn't have the time and these were solid.⁠
⁠
Used a bunch of stuff I had on hand for the filling. Ground beef, cabbage, five spice, garlic, toasted sesame oil and scallions. Did a soy, vinegar, chili and sesame dipping sauce. Recipe is below 👇🏻⁠
⁠
⁠
Filling:⁠
· 3/4 c chopped cabbage (more or less)⁠
· 1/2 lb ground beef⁠
· 2 tbsp water⁠
· 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil⁠
· 1/4 tsp five spice⁠
· 1 clove garlic - crushed⁠
· salt⁠
· 1 chopped scallion⁠
⁠
Sauce:⁠
Combine everything in bowl⁠
· 1/4 c soy sauce⁠
· 1/4 c cider vinegar - use rice wine if ya got it (I didn't 🙄)⁠
· 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil⁠
· big pinch brown sugar⁠
· chopped scallion⁠
· pinch chili flakes⁠
· 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds⁠
⁠
Toppings:⁠
· toasted sesame seeds⁠
· sliced scallions⁠
⁠
Add cabbage to a food processor and pulse till nice and fine. Transfer to a mesh strainer over a bowl and add a good pinch of salt. Mix. Let sit at least 10 mins then squeeze out as much liquid as you can.⁠
⁠
Add cabbage back to food processor along with the rest of your filling ingredients, minus the scallion. Pulse till well combined and smooth. Mix in scallions by hand. ⁠
⁠
Stuff wontons with a scant teaspoon of filling, fold in half, and then pinch corners together.⁠ You can wet wrapper along seams if they're not sticking. ⁠
⁠
To cook wontons, add some neutral oil to a non-stick pan, cook on med-high heat for 3-4 mins. Add 1/2 c water (+2 tsp flour for the lace), cover, turn heat to med-low, and steam for 6 mins. Remove lid, raise heat and cook till wonton bottoms, and lace, is golden brown and crisp.⁠
⁠
Flip out onto plate, sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions. Now eat!⁠

Spent last Sunday making a ton of flour tortillas with all the bacon 🥓 fat I had stashed in the fridge. Even had the forethought to make some big ones so I could make more smothered chicken burritos!!!⁠ 🌯 🌯 🌯
⁠
Been binge watching @viewsontheroad lately. I used their flour tortilla recipe, just subbed in some bacon fat, and the red sauce from the smothered burritos. I plan on making ALL the sauces, and a ton of recipes they have over there. Go check em out, you'll be drooling!!⁠
