Love her accent too.

Here's another cabbage dish I want to try https://hot-thai-kitchen.com/cabbage-fish-sauce/

ET2SN with his mention of scrapple has made me hungry for pig's stomach.

Pork Roll looks like a really terrible attempt at making Lebanon Sweet Bologna. LOL

@ em2nought , I had a look at the dish ( both of them

) in the link, and I gotta say 10 cloves of garlic for such a small dish seems OTT, but the fish sauce balances it maybe???

I got a few Thai friends and they're always offering me various bits and pieces of food to try. Not a big fan of their cuisine, with one exception......A young lady friend took me out to dinner to a popular Thai restaurant and I couldn't make head or tail of the menu even with pictures WT_ Then something leapt out from the page.....Number26 "Phat Prik Grob"

It was good, BBQ pork with jasmine rice, green beans, mild chilli paste.

Mate of mine ( musician/artist well known ) married a Thai girl and moved over there.

inside the Cabbage Rolls ?

I guess it's outside served with these Cabbage Rolls.

In Sweden they are called kåldolmar

In Sweden it is popular to add syrup on the finished Cabbage Rolls before they eat them.

Hi Markus. You mean Mashed potatoes??

Yes as a side dish, not inside the cabbage rolls.

Just writing this and thinking about them has made me very hungry.

What sort of syrup do the Swedes put on them???

Yes it was mashed potatoes

I copied and translated a text about this syrup or Sirup as it is called in Sweden.
"Syrup is made from raw sugar from sugar beet and sugar cane. Syrup contains different types of sugar, ordinary sugar, dextrose and fructose. Syrup is available in a light and dark version, where the light has a mild taste with a hint of caramel, while the dark has a stronger taste."
It is the light version of Syrup they like.

Tonight's dinner will be simple

Spring rolls nothing more.

And a Coca Cola to it.

I think a Thai friend of mine would even use more than ten cloves.

The one thing in Thai cooking that I'd just leave off my plate is the rice. Oh, and I'm not eating any raw meat, not going there.

I think that's more an Isaan thing.

Love Thai, but I've never developed a taste for Indian food.

ET2SN · 07-16-23, 02:11 AM

They don't have Maple trees in Sweden??

Stateside, stuffed cabbage is usually cooked in and served with cream of tomato soup.

Its about as basic as it gets. Steam or boil whole cabbage leaves. While that's going on, make some normal white rice. Fry a 50/50 mix of ground beef and ground pork, add the rice near the end along with some salt and pepper ** (you don't have to drain the frying pan).

Spoon the meat-and-rice into the cabbage leaves and roll them up just like a.................burrito.

Place the rolls into a pot and add enough tomato soup to cover. Simmer until boiling.

**- Naturally, there are some variations to the basic recipe. You could add some minced or powdered garlic and fine-chopped herbs to the meat while its cooking. If you're making 20+ or so rolls, crack a raw egg into the filling and mix well just before you spoon it into the leaves. The rough proportions of the filling are 50% meat and 50% rice. Simmer the rolls and soup for 45 minutes to an hour so the rice absorbs some grease and soup as it fully cooks.

Let me know how it goes, I'd practically live on the stuff if the wife would let me

....at our age, "wife letting me" is an increasingly ongoing principle consideration...

Went well, next time i'll do it a bit differently, but the taste was excellent

Nicht zu fassen - der kann ja kochen!

Myself, I lived the fast eating last evening. Pulled Chicken (yes, we have that) from the supermarket, it even is really good, I just wash the marinade off, pulled it to fine pieces and gave it a good roasting in the grill. In a pan just some red peppers and onions with coconut oil, Gyros spice melange and (trarraa!) cinnamon, and in a pot some millet , swollen in broth. At the end all things together in the pan and mixing. Delicous can be so simple.

Cinnamon is my secret weapon for many cases of using smashed tomatoes and red peppers together (and some rosins thrown in as well...), but sometimes it works without tomatoes, too. Cinnamon is much underated in Western cooking, we think of it as somethign for sweet taste only. Wrong!
