Mixed Plate Friday

Thịt Nướng | Vietnamese Grilled Pork Skewers

It’s summer time so you know it’s time to do some BBQ’s! I wanted to try something a little different so I made vietnamese grilled pork skewers! Never tried making skewers like this before…and using fresh lemongrass before but it was a hit! Perfect food to go with some alcohol too. I had to buy a big pork shoulder chunk and slice it thin manually, that was the worst part of this dish. Other than that, it was good!

Salted Turnip

I found this at Don Quijote the other day and got super excited, really happy to see them branching out and getting more obscure Chinese ingredients. I don’t think I have ever bought this before but I think I was taught how to make a pork hash patty long time ago with it from my mom. Here’s to me cooking to my roots!

Look! This is the first time I ever guessed Wordle on the first try! This was my go-to first word everyday. Now that it’s been used, I am so lost without my first word guess! Gotta keep up with my streak!

  1. Today I’ll get it on 1st try too! Thank you!! I had been thinking of asking you what your start word is. Mine is crane
    that skewer looks so ono!

    • Vicki,
      Crane was a word way back in June 2023. I write down the words each day because sometimes some letters are used in a short time frame. I am waiting for ADIOS – but most of the time the most enjoyable wordle of the day are the hard ones – if solved.

  2. That salted turnip is what I use when I make jook. It might be interesting to use it chopped up fine in fried rice.
    Wordle! My go-to word is ADIOS. I average 4 tries so if I get in in 3, I feel pretty good. If I get it in 2, it is a rare and fantastic event. First try? No ADIOS yet!
