Tangy-Spicey Sriracha Fish Tacos


This recipe was inspired by the fish tacos I recently tried at Wahaca, and a bottle of Sriracha I managed to get my paws on. As a note, I would say that you can take the time to batter and fry your own fish, but I made these on a Tuesday, that wasn't happening.  So I took the easiest shortcut ever, chopping a battered fish fillet in half for each taco.  As long as you buy a reasonably good quality fish, it doesn't detract from this flavorful taco!

For 8 tacos, you will need:
4 large battered fish fillets (cooked and halved)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded lettuce

Sriracha cream sauce ingredient

You will need:
1/2 cup mayonnaise (light is fine)
2 1/2 Tbsp condensed milk (again, light is fine)
1 3/4 Tbsp Sriracha sauce

Simply whisk all ingredients together and serve drizzle over fish.
Note: This sauce is incredibly addicting, and you will want to put it on everything.

1. Preheat oven to 100C/210F.

2. Assemble your tacos, lettuce, (cooked) fish, and drizzle sauce and sour cream over (this can be done by putting sauces in plastic bags and cutting off the corner, or use a diner-style squeezy bottle).  I decorated my tacos with 3 additional dots of Sriracha, but I'd avoid this if you don't like things too spicy.

3. Line up your tacos on a baking tray with the edges facing upwards.  They will start to crisp up after about 5 minutes, but keep an eye on them as I've noticed they jump from pale and limp to crisp in about 30 seconds!

How to Prepare Czech Roast Duck

One of my treasured czech meals is bohemian style roasted duck. I usually get this meal onc a year if I am lucky. I typically have to order it at a czech restaurant or prepare it for myself while the rest of the family enjoy roast chicken or pork. Their disdain for eating duck is primarily attributed to their appreciation of these little fussy waddlers observed at the petting zoo or at the local parks swimming happily down the river. Somehow and someway, my view of duck has pushed me past the cute fuzzy image more in favor of the tasty Sunday roast that is served with homemade dumplings, sauce, and a braised cabbage dish. Just about every grocery store will carry duck in the frozen poultry section; if you can get one fresh, all the better! The bird usually weighs no more than five pounds and offers up between three to four servings. I have seen the price range for a five pound duck range anywhere between eleven to twenty bucks for a roaster; a fresh one most likely costing a bit more. ...

How to Make a DQ Mocha Moolatte

Image
One of my favorite treats in the summer is a DQ moolatte. This after dinner treat is pure bliss. Nothing beats the rich combined flavors of coffee, ice cream, chocolate, and whatever additional flavors whether caramel, hazelnut, vanilla or cappuccino. I am a big fan of the mocha flavor as nothing compares to the combination of chocolate and coffee. The early evening trip to DQ for a moolatte is certain to put a smile on my face, but can also prove to be a dent in the wallet, especially when ordering for others in the group. I have my own recipe that I came up with for making a homemade moolatte that tastes as good as the real thing and is much cheaper considering our local DQ charges about $3.50 per serving. Preparing a moolatte does not take a huge amount of effort. There is no need for any major ice cream shop appliances such as soft serve machines, etc. All you need is a good hearty blender and some other common ingredients that aren’t too costly. The recipe typically calls for a cu...
