Is it very difficult finding Asian ingredients in Omaha?

 

[valdim]

:bbqsmoker:The local store has pork ribs on sale, butt in the case they are all trimmed, so I asked if they had any still in the bag, and they accommodated me. I smear mustard all over them, then coat with my home made dry rub. The went into the Big Green Egg at 190º for 7 hours, and due to a late start they then rested till today in the fridge, reheating under foil at a bare 200º for a couple of hours. I made some salad with napa cabbage and cucumber with a ceasarish dressings. I had some carrots that held up a chicken while it roasted. I sliced then fairly thickly and browned them in some olive oil.
No pics of the plating, butt got a record of the Q.
The meat slides off the bone butt still has some bite to it!

A Big green egg?

I'm not sure yet - this was my first attempt at cooking "real" Chinese food. There are half dozen small Asian markets in town. I was able to get the pantry staples for these dishes at the one closest to me, except I confused fermented bean paste with fermented black beans. The produce section was lacking, but my local supermarket had kohlrabi.

For most dishes all you need are a few key ingredients. If you can’t find stuff there’re usually suitable substitutes—like dry sherry for Shaoxing wine. Is this what you mean by black bean paste?

This is what I picked up:

I think I was supposed to use these in the green bean dish:

Shaoxing wine actually wasn't a problem, though it's the salted stuff intended solely for cooking.

Ahhh, no doenjang is closer to miso, but funkier. Yeah, fermented black beans are quite different.

It's Friday night, and I really wasn't feeling like doing a major production to get dinner on the table. Ended up making sesame noodles with chili oil and scallions. Turned out to be really tasty and satisfying. And it takes all of 15 minutes to throw together.
