Mole Mole Mole Mole

Hope you guys had a wonderful Spring Break. This week it is about Mole . It is a Mexican dish, it is chicken cover with a chocolate sauce. Yup it is chicken covered in chocolate! YUM!!! Well, the chocolate is not what is important to the sauce, it just gives it that dark color along with the other ingredients in the sauce.
Put it is not simple to create the signature sauce. The easiest part of making it is the chicken. The sauce requires various peppers, herbs, seeds, spices, and Mexican Drinking Chocolate to create so a tasty sauce.
It is something different that i recommend trying.

Ceviche

Earlier this week I had a dish called Ceviche, which is basically fish that is marinated in a lot of lemon juice. The fish is diced up, diced tomato, onion, jalapeno, and cilantro. Put all that in a bowl and then squeeze some lemons ( as many as you want) and put the cover bowl in the refrigerator and let is stay there for a day. Next day it should be ready to eat with some tostadas.

El Salvador Pupusas

Pupusas are a Salvadorian food that I enjoy. Pupusas are made with:
  •  handmade corn tortillas
  • Can be filled with 
    • refried beans 
    • Chicharron 
    • cheese 
    • chicken
 Pupusas are usually served with repollo or pickled cabbage and tomato sauce. Usually pupusas are cooked on a flat skillet. There are Pupuseria's in the Houston area, although I have never tried those. Usually I eat pupusas when my aunt makes them for a party or to raise money.

What the Pho?

Pho is Vietnamese soup that is fantastic. I have tried beef and chicken Pho, in my opinion beef is the best.  The consists of chicken or beef broth, noodles (made of rice), onions, chili peppers, cilantro, lime, bean sprouts, and Thai basil. make it spice with sriracha sauce!
With the beef pho there is three ways I know that you can have it. One with strips of beef, with meatballs, or both. I like pho just with the strips of meat but I recommend that you try it with the meatballs.

Tamales


I went to my nephew's birthday party and we had Mexican Tamales with rice and beans. Mexican Tamales are small and made out of masa and are stuffed with meat or chicken or even cheese. There were three types of tamales at the party: pork, chicken, and cheese with jalapeno. I personally liked the cheese with jalapeno.
Where my family is from they have their own tamales. The difference between Salvadoran tamales and Mexican tamales in that the Salvadoran's are a bit bigger and are made of more masa. Also some tamales are cooked with banana leafs and others are made out of corn. However there is no limit to what you can put in your tamales. All will be if you enjoy! XD

Korean Food

This weekend I went to go eat  China town with my sister. We went to a Korean restaurant called Tofu Village and it was fantastic.Sadly I couldn't take pictures at the time however here is their website http://www.tofuvillage.net/Menu_Page2.html. The food is really good although it is up to you. I had the Stir Beef Bul Go Gi, which tastes like the meat from the food truck by the rec, but much better. The meat tasted sweet and was mixed with green beans and onions. We also had Bi Bim Bab which is a rice dish with carrots, cucumbers, beef, and beansprouts. And lastly we had Man Go Gook, which was a dumpling soup with beef, carrots, green onion, and an egg.
overall there is a lot of food. With the orders you a side of a small fish, assortment of vegetables to munch on before your food arrives.  I recommend you try it out!
