Culinary Adventures With Chef Ann – Your Local Asian Market, Part 1
Welcome to the first installment of Culinary Adventures with Chef Ann. This will be an ongoing series where she explores new culinary territory. Have ever gone to your local Asian Foods Market? So much to explore! We went to one near our office and lost all track of time looking at all the incredible products. We picked out a variety of items then Chef Ann went to work to come up with recipes using them. First up is Asian Market Pork Belly (AIP). Don’t be freaked out by the “pork belly,” just think of it as big thick bacon. The cooking process of boiling, frying then glazing results in a dense, morsel of sweet and savory goodness that needs to be experienced.

There were many varieties of eggplants available, most we had never seen. We purchased these small Thai eggplants as well a some Thai Basil (Yum!). Achieving the familiar Asian flavors in the AIP world isn’t easy, but Chef Ann is up to the challenge. Stay tuned for Part two of the Culinary Adventure with Chef Ann, Your local Asian Market!
