    This morning I was scanning the internet before breakfast and came upon an Asian food stall making fluffy freeform pancakes:



    I found the Japanese will make collars to cook these pancakes for an elegant service. However this morning, we went for free form style.

    My Dad does not like American pancakes, but if it's all he'll get he will eat them. He likes thin pancakes like blini or German apple pancakes similar to a Yorkshire pudding. He added today these fluffy pancakes.

    The trick to these pancakes is a slow cook: 10 minutes on one side and 5 on the other.

    More can be learned here, here and here.

    Tortang Talong with Crab Meat (Eggplant Omelet with Crab)
    I had a small eggplant with no thoughts of what to do. I found this eggplant omelet, which I made without the crab, though I did use fish sauce to season at the table.

    Instead of broiling, I roasted the eggplant over a gas flame. Once it was charred and very soft, I put the eggplant into a bowl with a cover for steam for fifteen minutes. Pulled off all the charred skin, mushed it flat on a plate, then into a bowl with an beaten egg.

    My family was curious about this dish. I offered a taste, but Dad said, "If you like it enough to make it again, I will try it."

    One of these days, he will!

    Drove the bride to work, she's a property manager for a hospital group and there's lots of action in her job when its this cold out. I did not feel comfortable with her car sitting out all day, though I'm 97.8% sure she would not have had a problem. What's that got to do with breakfast?. Since its -24° the couple of breakfast places I like were closed, no problem I can cook eggs. :)

    Haha, I understand. Asian flavors are intoxicating and seem to have limitless versatility. Plus, we're fortunate to live in a metropolitan area where procuring a wide variety of ingredients is relatively easy and inexpensive. So, once you go down the rabbit hole, there are very few reasons to hit the brakes. Last week I was taking a mental inventory of our leftovers and realized that we had one Chinese-inspired dish, one Japanese-inspired dish, one Korean-inspired dish and two Thai-inspired dishes. Was a funny/fun realization. :)

    Today we stopped at a Philadelphia sandwich shop. A customer had a large to- go order that included a toasted plain bagel slathered with cream cheese that was topped with about a tablespoon of granulated sugar. Curious if that's a thing?

    The shop was operated by 2 nice women who appeared to be Korean. The food was more or less generic sandwichy stuff priced and geared towards workers in the nearby meat and produce wholesalers. So conceivably sugar bagel is a Philly thing, or a Korean thing?

    I seem to have a vague recollection of hearing about something like this in the past but I cannot remember its origin. I'm a bagel traditionalist and I don't like sweet breakfasts, so this sounds positively awful to me.

    On that note, I scrambled up a plate of eggs and stuff for the family this morning . . .

    I'm the complete opposite. I really only like sweet breakfast foods, although I make an exception for bacon and traditional southern-style breakfast sausage. In that respect, as in many others, I am hopelessly retro - or just plain out of style. But the sugar bagel might be going too far even. I suspect the proportions of roughly 1:1 exceed the sugar in cream cheese frosting.

    Here's a recipe for Korean street toast that features a veggie omelette on toast with up to 1Tbsp sugar added along with the option of grape or strawberry jam: https://kimchimari.com/korean-street-toast/
    Much different from sugar bagel but options for either darn sweet with max sugar and jam, or savory with minimal sugar and ketchup. As with some other Korean street foods, the recipe uses no particularly Korean ingredients - it's stuff easily found in any American grocery, possibly even a Kwik Trip if one grabs little butter pats and ketchup, jam and sugar packs.

    Your sausage-egg-cotija mix looks like something I'd enjoy later in the day, though, minus the onions in my case.

    Not a Philly thing and I think not a Korean thing either, though I'm less qualified to pronounce on the latter.

    I'd go so far as to say that bagels are not really a Philly thing altogether, since most of the good bagel shops have closed and been replaced by the mediocre Manhattan Bagels chain and of course food trucks and delis use Lender's or some such.

    There's a camping version the boy scouts have been doing (have to check with SueF, she might have invented it) where you fry the bagel briefly on the cut side then pat into a bowl of cinnamon sugar.

    I think you and Cilantro have nailed it: My bagel and cream cheese from the shop was a very mundane Lenders or Bagels Forever bagel with a good slathering of tasty cream cheese which may well have been Kraft from a big tub.
    As an aside and very much FWIW, Bagels Forever used to be really good 40-some years ago when picked up at the bakery near the El Rancho supermarket in Madison.

    Here's one from last weekend that I forgot to post. Had a few extra chanterelles from my forager, and Jazzfood posted that chanterelles, plus shallots and dry vermouth was one of his favorites, so I decided to give it a whirl . . .

    How much of the pictured butter did you use on that portion of mushrooms, the full double-stick? I'd like to hope half or a third would be sufficient since you're not really making beurre sauce.

    Lol. Probably about 2 tablespoons. Just enough to saute the shallots and get the mushrooms started. Then, a splash of the vermouth at the end. It was too low proof to flambe' but it cooked off quickly.

    That just happens to be the plate on which we store our butter in the fridge.
