About me
I pretty much love lots of different kinds of food. Not all that gaga for rich foods, but occasionally. Simple, fresh, healthy foods are my staples, but I do have an adventurous palate & when time permits, I'll spend the effort & time preparing more elaborate meals.

Hi lunatic, Thanks for checking out my 'Lamb Spirals With Plum Sauce And Bok Choy' recipe, and for your great comments! As for the cut of lamb, I would suggest asking the butcher for lamb steaks. I believe they are a cut from boneless leg of lamb or near the rump. If you have trouble locating it, pork or beef steaks are equally good in this recipe.

Thanks again, and enjoy! :)

Yes, hot and sour without meet is fine. maybe add more extra firm tofu, its all good. jj


Hi Lunatic - My recommendation for the livers; toss them in some flour with a little salt & pepper...then fry until crispy. Drain them on paper towels and make the gravy. I always have to get my hubby to fry them cause I can't stand the looks of them! LOL


Thanks so much for the chili info. I think that I've found what I'm after.


Hi Lunatic and welcome to Group Recipes! Thanks so much for the invitation and I would be delighted to be your cooking friend. Make yourself at home and have fun with us.

As for the aji amarillo pepper (also called aji escabeche) substitution question: Hmmm, they do have a unique fruity taste, with berry overtones and citrus aromas - and as such, they don't really have a true substitute. You certainly could use red Serranos (or green) for a milder heat or red Thai chiles for a bigger heat. If you're willing to go to a higher heat level, you'd get closer to aja amarillo with a habanero, since it has a different fruity tone...but it is kind of similar.

You know, I love using fresh chiles, too - but I have had some luck with buying dried aji amarillos, and there are commercial brands of aji amarillo powder (aji mirasol) as well that work well in a pinch. If you can find the aji amarillos in any of their forms, that is ideal. I know I can find the dried whole peppers and the powder from a local Mexican grocer - and sometimes I find the fresh there as well. There are also some online grocers that sell all versions.

Good luck - and let me know what you decide and how it turns out.

Have a great weekend..... :)
