Sorry all, but I've been in a bit of a cooking rut lately. I've been making new things, things I enjoy, but I just haven't felt inspired to share the recipes with ya'll. So I apologize for the lack of posting, but I guess that means that I'll only give you the best! Of course, the "best" is entirely subjective to my tastes. Hopefully you agree.
The other night I was inspired to bring back the ol' spatchcock method when roasting a chicken. When deciding how I wanted to flavor the bird, I remembered an Asian marinade I made to go with chicken thighs a while ago and how delicious it was. Why not modify it and rub an entire bird? The rub has a spicy ginger flavor and is rounded out with miso paste (available in Asian markets). Miso paste, along with being the base of miso soup, can also be used to make dressings, marinades, and generally adds a nice touch to anything Asian you can dream up.
I served the chicken with rice, stir fried with asparagus and red bell pepper (of course). For the easy recipes, read on! Note that I made this up as I went, so measurements are estimated. Feel free to modify for your own tastes.
