Hainanese Chicken Risotto with Garlic Chips

February 18, 2020 2 Comments

We’re in the dregs of February now and slowly but surely the light is returning. But I have to say, spring still feels pretty far away. It certainly felt far away at 6:30 this morning as Sunny and I were shoveling our way out of our home. So yeah, you could say February still has its bleak hold on me and that means comfort food, the more carb-heavy, the better. And if I can eat two comfort foods simultaneously, so much the better, or at least that’s what I thought when I dreamed up this Hainanese Chicken Risotto.

I’m not what you would call a Valentine’s Day person. This is well documented, so I won’t spend much time on the subject. But the take-home point is I’m not so much about Valentine’s Day. But nauseating over-the-top declarations of love aside, there are things I like about this exceptionally strange day. For example, I am fond of glitter, cheesy puns, and the color pink, all of which hit peak popularity around February 14th. Oh, and I love a pretty, romantic dessert. Something elegant and rich that borders on too gorgeous to eat. Not unlike this Blood Orange Panna Cotta Tart. I’ll take any excuse to make a stunner like this even if it takes the form of a bullcrap “love” holiday dreamed up by capitalists in their desperate bid for infinite financial progress. But anyway…

Ah, the potsticker! Endlessly adaptable and impossible to pass up. Sure, almost every dumpling could be described this way, but I do think the potsticker, with its irresistible crispy bottom, is a special case. The Japanese borrowed the guotie cooking-style to make the gyoza for a reason. But I hesitate to call today’s Peanut Butter Kale Potstickers guotie or gyoza because the filling is far from traditional. So, the Chinese to English translation of the word “guotie” (literally: ‘pot stick’) is probably all these dumplings deserve.

Apparently, the Super Bowl is this weekend and I’m not going to watch it. In all the years I’ve had this blog, I’ve feigned a small amount of interest in the annual sporting event. You know, just for the excuse to make chicken wings or some cooky take on a late-night favorite, but no more. I made these Shawarma Home Fries because they seemed like a good idea and they were so I’m sharing them with you now. Their appearance coinciding with the Super Bowl is purely incidental. I have never enjoyed football but it’s totally cool if you do and if you want to eat these Shawarma Home Fries while you watch the game, so much the better.
