So between the Sri Lankan cabbage and the butter chicken, my house smelled like curry for days. :rotfl: yummy though!

Yesterday I used the delay timer function for the first time on the IP and that ROCKED!!!! I wanted dinner but it would be too late when i got home to cook it, so i set the timer for it to be done around the time we got home and i got home with 7 mins left on the timer!

Never used it on the IP, but all the time on the rice cooker.  It's great.

Planning to make the cabbage dish tonight. Could I omit the shredded coconut?

I haven't made the cabbage dish, so no advice there.

My instant pot plan for today is to come up with some sort of Mongolian beef recipe. Our favorite Chinese restaurant has a delicious dish that's mostly beef and onions, I have a nice flank steak that I think would work well in the IP for something similar. Need to do some googling.

Ice Cream

I made yogurt today, then black beans, and then baby potatoes.

You can omit it. But  I think it won't be as yummy.

Made it and used it (not sure how I forgot that visiting sister loves coconut) but omitted the hot pepper.  I normally love spicy food and can't wait to make it again with the pepper.  But even without it was SO delicious.

I'm going to make the cabbage recipe. It sounds delicious! 
Heading out to my local Penzey's to pick up some fresh spices.  I have a box full of spice, mostly Penzeys, but much of it is years old. Spices lose their potency, right?  So I should toss all the old stuff?  Some isn't even opened.  My ex had a habit of buying stuff with big intentions but had terrible follow-through so much of it is stuff he bought.

Yes, they do lose their kick over time.  Maybe you can tell by smelling them?

I'd buy new and toss the old stuff if it is over 6 months old. Ground spices age quickly. I buy spices in the bulk section unless it's something I know I will use up quickly. That way I can buy a tiny quantity.

Thank you for bumping this!  I have ten heads of cabbage I grew this summer and no idea what to do with them.  So now I'll be making Sri Lankan cabbage!

And it was a good reminder of my ip baked beans.

The cabbage dish they posted about upthread.

I made it this morning.  Not the deliciousness I was hoping for!  It's pretty bland and I even put the hot pepper in.  Not sure what I was expecting but I'll have to find another recipe for the rest of my cabbage.  I followed the recipe exactly.

I feel like there must be some kind of thai recipe for cabbage.  Something spicy sweet.  Or peanutty.

Do you like saur kraut or kimchi?

BonitaApplebum

I like doing cabbage stir fry, with ground pork, garlic, ginger... kind of a deconstructed egg roll... serve over rice...
