It’s not often we hear from The Chef with a recipe, mostly because I have this blog focus more on foods I know I’m capable of creating that are Chef approved. This one though is completely doable still. You just might need to take a trip to the asian aisle or the asian grocery store down the way. He made these up for us for a late night dinner, and with our pressure cooker/insta-pot (which is probably one of the best tools for the kitchen), and boy oh boy. These things were melt-in-your-mouth phenomenal. The level of flavors that subtly lifted out more levels… Ugh. Scrum-diddly-umptious. Way to go Chef. You knocked it out of the park! Would you like to say anything?
I learned this technique from my good friend and mentor Chef Kevin Dunn. This flavor just hits to the center of my soul. It makes me feel super good every time I eat it. It’s full flavored and balanced, when you find something like that it resonates with you. Massaman curry does that with me. I love the pressure cooker method because it makes short work, of what would normally take half a day, and still maintains amazing flavor. I like slow cook method still, but when you don’t have hours to cook a great meal, this thing will be your best friend. When you’re cooking this, don’t be afraid to taste the flavor. My recipes are close, but I might go back and add a little more, so it’s smart to always taste what you’re cooking. (Besides taste testing stuff with raw eggs and meat. Let’s be smart…) One of the reasons I let The Wife do most of the baking is because she is way better at measuring things out. I, on the other hand, “salt bae” my seasonings. I can’t believe I just referenced that…
I kind of love you for that though.
