Day 8

Breakfast:
1/2 cup of coffee
3 bites of the spanish bread (mostly the crust part)


Lunch:
50g asado continued :P


Dinner:
well, my buddy celebrated his birthday and Mongolian dinner was his treat.

For those who are not familiar with mongolian dish, it's one of those food trips where you pick "raw" ingredients on to your plate like raw beef tenderloin strips, chicken and pork. You will also need to pick the "base" of your dish e.g. rice, egg noodles, or clear noodles. Plus, you need to add necessary spices (not the hot ones) like bell peppers, ginger,and veggies like string beans, etc.. finally the sauce or seasoning - there are lots like: oyster sauce, teriyaki, soy, peanut, sesame chili. You then give your plate to the chef and he'll cook/stir-fry it.

My impression/comment is though... for you to appreciate this dish, you need to have a bit of cooking skills - which means you can imagine the fusion of taste after the dish is done. Wrong set or measure of ingredients may result to a very unpleasant taste. And dont expect the stir-fry guy to magically make it taste nice for you. Eventhough thats what the waiter is saying.

Anyway, here's the "buffet" for the ingredients.




Fortunately, I've been cooking since I was 8, I'm not a chef, but lots of experience on various dishes taught me well.

So for my dinner, I got the following:

1/4 cup cooked rice.
1/2 cup egg noodles boiled and oiled already
about 80g of raw beef strips
about 50g of raw chicken

about 8 strips Julienne-cut carrot just for flavor
dash of onion leeks
about 6 strips of ginger just for flavor as well
2 tbsp of mung bean sprouts
1/16 tsp of red chili - careful it's just a dinner plate-size dish
1/8 tsp garlic
1 tsp onion

1/2 tsp of oyster sauce - careful for flavor only, this is very salty
4 tbsp of teriyaki sauce - nice and sweet
1/4 tsp roasted sesame seeds
1/2 tbsp sesame oil
1/2 tbsp roasted peanut
1/2 tsp brown sugar.

have it stir fried...

the result.... :-D

Overall I'm happy that it turned out to be what I expected... not greasy, sweet, mild, and nutty. What I didn't expect was the serving size - WOW it's good enough for 2.
