Gilding the Lily since 2006
Gilding the lily + + Here’s a big, lovely bowl of miso ramen with @hudsonvalleyfoiegras foie gras, sproingy @umiorganic noodles, kikurage (wood ear) mushrooms, butter corn, and a gorgeous backyard egg. Nori, toasted sesame, and scallions to garnish. The broth is dashi and homemade …
I made this by simmering leftover rice in chicken broth until the rice really softened up and topped it with whatever I had lying around. I personally like having the grains intact, but you could always go a bit longer if you prefer it more …
These photos don’t do these dishes justice, but the venison was unbelievably tender and juicy. The pilaf is staying in my permanent rotation. Had a few homies over for dinner last night, and after thinking it over for a few days, I ended up abandoning …

Another delicious bowl in my Year of Ramen™️: a Middle Eastern spin on tantanmen. Instead of a regular sesame-chile broth, I made a garlicky beef broth with toasted sesame purée and preserved lemon, topped with a ragu of ground Anderson Ranches lamb seasoned with lots …
Vietnamese and Creole flavors play so well together, especially when foie gras is invited to the party. Here’s a big serving of foie gras dirty rice made with duck stock, jasmine rice, and Vietnamese flavors: fish sauce, palm sugar, a little cinnamon (just a …
Super fast manduguk for lunch, made by simmering sliced chonggak radish, tteok (rice cakes) and frozen store-bought mandu (dumplings) in homemade chicken/pork stock with a spoonful of instant dashi, a teeny bit of soy sauce, and a dribble of sesame oil. Sloppy shredded omelet “noodles” …
Look, I know this looks ridiculous, but if Cincinnati can put chili on spaghetti then I can put dandan topping on a hot dog. I totally did the thing: dandan chili dog using Nicky Farms ground wild boar and lots of garlic and Lao …
This is such a deceptively simple dish to make, provided you have a well-supplied larder. For the ragu, I browned ground Nicky Farms wild boar (pork would work, obviously) with a little bit of sesame oil, a few cloves of minced garlic, finely diced zha …
Musubi fried rice with an egg on top and a dribble of teriyaki sauce. It needed sriracha to bring some sweetness and acidity but it tastes exactly like I crumbled up musubi into a bowl! #brunchathome 🍙 🍖 🍙 🍖#spam #nori #rice #musubi #friedrice #hawaiianfood …
