First Of The Year!!! Recipe Wrap #1: Banh Mi Pickled Veggies

 

Banh_mi_medium

And on the 5th game, there was a recipe...

These, my friends, are pickled daikon and carrots.  They are an essential ingredient in one of the very best foods on the planet: banh mi sandwiches.  

If you haven't had banh mi, you need to hurry your butt on down to Eat Street or University Avenue and grab one of these $3 delights at a place like QuangsJasmine DeliTrieu Chau, or the Trung Nam French Bakery

If you don't want to leave the house, here's a quick way you can make one of these dittys at home. 

 

  • 1-2 carrots, peeled and cut into matchsticks
  • 1 daikon radish, peeled and cut into matchsticks
  • salt, to taste
  • 1/2 cup sugar plus 1-2 T 
  • 1 1/4 cups white vinegar
  • water
Place the cut carrots and radishes in a large bowl and sprinkle with the salt and 1-2 T of sugar.  Let stand for 10 minutes before placing them in a colander and kneading them to remove the water.  Completely drain and rinse with cold water. 

In a Pyrex 4 cup mixing bowl, combine the remaining sugar and vinegar and set aside.  In a glass mason jar or a medium container, pack in the veggies while leaving 1 inch of space at the top of the container.  Pour the sugar and vinegar mixture into the mason jar and top off with water.  Seal the jar and give it a good shake before placing it in the fridge. 

These pickled veggies will last for up to 2 months.  

A few notes: 

  • If you want to make a quick banh mi sandwich, simply take a day old roll of french bread and warm it in the microwave for 15 seconds wrapped in a wet washcloth.  Remove, slice in 1/2, spread on some Mayonnaise mixed with some cock sauce (or a sweeter chili sauce) before adding a lunch meat or pate of your choice, a few sprigs of cilantro, some sliced jalapeño peppers, and your pickled veggies.  You can use any type of bread for these sandwiches, but crusty roll bread works best.  Also, instead of meat, you can use some canned seitan/mock duck.  
  • You should be warned in advance that much like the Timberwolves, while these veggies look nice, when you open them, they stink to high heaven. You may want to crack a window or open them outside if they have been in your fridge for more than 1-2 days.  
  • These veggies also go good with steak and chicken.  
  • You can make a fusion banh mi by using a tortilla.  
Well folks, that about does it.  For all I know, the Wolves could be down by 50 by now.  

Until later.

Looks like the regular season

Continues to be our offseason.
But I’d still rather watch the wolves than our traveling circus NFL team.

by fanslaststand on Nov 3, 2010 9:49 PM CDT via mobile reply actions  

let's take a look at the 2011 Hoopus draft board

Let’s turn those frowns upside down!

Well, Orlando and Miami are making a lot of teams look bad. Orland beat Washington by 30 points, lost to Miami, and now beat the Wolves by (I’m too scared to look at the final score). Miami has destroyed everyone except Boston in the first game as a new team.

So, as bad as the Wolves looked, chances are they can’t look that much worse. Now granted, I didn’t see the Heat crush New Jersey, so maybe the point differential doesn’t do the Wolves justice. But I’m assuming that New Jersey and Washington looked just as bad.

Now, being as bad as Washington and New Jersey isn’t a good thing, but it’s about where I expected this team to be this year. So color me not shocked.

I think the Memphis loss was much, much worse than these last two.

I haven't written an insightful post in years.

by littleboxes on Nov 3, 2010 10:16 PM CDT reply actions  

Washington's loss to Orlando was really bad

They didn’t lose by as much in the scoring column, but they got beat on just as much as we did. Really the only difference was Orlando’s bench started clowning around in the second half. But the Wizards were completely helpless that night, and looked even more lost than we did, if you can believe that. Even the announcers commented on how undisciplined the team was.

by Oceanary on Nov 3, 2010 11:21 PM CDT up reply actions  

Wow.

That was one of the most one-sided games I can ever remember. Throw away the stat sheet — nobody played well. I felt bad for them at times because this was far-more about ability than it was about effort. Rebounds couldn’t be reached because only Dwight Howard could reach them. The only shots we could find were Darko Prayers or running-off-a-pick jumpers. Love’s usually-helpful stuff wasn’t helpful because he wasn’t filling in the gaps as much as he was leaned on for some primary scoring.

Is Beasley that good, or are we in for another sub-20 win season?

I haven’t even mentioned our defense. Why so much help on Quentin Richardson post-ups? Why so much help EVERYWHERE? Orlando took 31 3’s and I think every one of them was an open shot because we were helping somebody out. Is every Wolf a bad one-on-one defender? Paul Pierce doesn’t need much help, and he’s not half as quick as Brewer. Man, we are terrible defensively. No improvement from last year, that I can see.

This game validated my feelings about last night: Miami wasn’t as good as the Wolves were bad — especially on defense. These contenders play a lot of games that are close when the 4th Quarter starts.

Rambis is going to start feeling pressure. I hope that tightens his damn rotation and his best players get the most minutes. His job will depend on it, because nobody in their right mind will watch this team lose by 74 points in consecutive games.

by Andy G on Nov 3, 2010 10:30 PM CDT reply actions  

I'll go out on a limb and predict

that the Wolves have a new head coach next season. Unfortunately, the POBO has more job security (he gets to wait until the Rubio situation is resolved).

by LoveTo on Nov 3, 2010 10:39 PM CDT up reply actions  

Don't you think

Rambis gets to stay for a year of Rubio? Since the team is being built for the Rubio run triangle, wouldn’t it be a waste of a couple of years to throw that out the window? Maybe with the team we have + Rubio we’d be better off not running the triangle but I think they might as well give him a year with Ricky

by B.C. 4 MVP on Nov 3, 2010 11:08 PM CDT up reply actions  

I think Rambis and/or Kahn will be gone if we have another sub-20 win season

Teams just don’t have two under-20 win seasons in a row very often. I only have data going back to 2001, but during that period the worst that a sub-20 win team did in the following season was 25 wins. The average number of wins for teams who won less than 20 in the previous year is 32 wins. So we’d be witnessing a pretty impressive level of incompetence if that’s what happens.

I still think the jury is out for this team. Evidence is piling up that doesn’t look too good (I’m looking at you, Rambis and Darko), but there are some players who I think could develop into decent players on a good team. (Love, Beasley, Wes, and Webster may be starter quality; and Pekovic, Tolliver, Flynn, and Ridnour seem like solid bench players.)

These guys have only played five regular season games together. One of their best players (Webster) has been missing for all of them and another (Beasley) was missing for the last one. I’m not trying to make excuses for them, but there are reasons to believe that it could get better. That said, I have my doubts that Rambis is the guy to make that happen. He just doesn’t seem like the kind of coach who gets the most out of the players he has.

I’m still giving them until January to come together. In January, they have 9 home games and 5 road games with only one back-to-back at the end of the month. If they can’t play respectably by then, you can fire the whole organization as far as I’m concerned.

by Madison Dan on Nov 4, 2010 9:27 AM CDT up reply actions  

Kahn is far more likely than Rambis to be fired...

If only because Rambis has a 4 year contract as opposed to Kahn’s 2 year contract (which I believe expires this year).

Chris Wright in his Canis Hoopus interview said the business side was expecting the wolves to compete for the playoffs. While I can imagine them being mildly disappointed at 30 wins…anything below 20 wins seems like a death knell for Kahn.

I'm ready to be swayed Wesley Johnson!!

by Blakeley on Nov 4, 2010 9:34 AM CDT up reply actions  

I don't think either of them go anywhere until Rubio's played a full year

And really, this is the first year of the team having any sort of expectations for itself, minimal as they are. We’re sick of the losing because as fans, we’ve been on this rebuilding thing for what feels like forever, but when you think about it, this is the first year Kahn and Rambis have a roster they’d consider “theirs”….so in a way, we’re like, 6 months into the actual rebuilding

by Oceanary on Nov 3, 2010 11:24 PM CDT up reply actions  

Only because Kahn and Rambis

waited a full year to acquire players they wanted… including a draft in which we had four first-round picks.

That’s not standard-operating procedure for NBA teams. Those four first-rounders (even allowing for one of them being Rubio) should be showing long-term potential right now, and they’re not.

by LoveTo on Nov 3, 2010 11:30 PM CDT up reply actions  

You're right, Luke Babbitt isn't showing much potential right now

Sorry….couldn’t resist ;)

Seriously though, I think what happened is more or less standard operating procedure for a team that changes its GM and coach while rebuilding. It wasn’t like we could just move what we had last year and get good returns on those guys. Last year was about clearing house, and Kahn did that pretty well, all things considered. We had a roster that wasn’t working, but we also couldn’t afford to just sell players off for nothing. The mere fact he got Rubio out of it alone is pretty positive. Think about what the Cavaliers have right now….they’re pretty much in the same situation as us last year. New coach, new GM, and a roster stocked with pricey players who don’t form a winning team (or even a good one…) They’ll take this year to do what we did last year….take the hits, strategize how to get rid of the players they don’t want, and then plan for the future.

Like S-n-P has said, it’s questionable whether the results are going to be there or not, but the team is taking a prudent course to rebuilding.

Mayn ain't smokin on this

I agree that Darko can and should get better, especially offensively. To me it looks like he’s developed some crappy shooting habits and needs work on just squaring his body up to the rim. Once he squares up he’ll be much more dangerous as a passer and as a shooter. Lambeer and the other coaches need to work with him on this. The athleticism and footwork are there. That charge he took on Howard early tonight was due to his quick feet.

It's absolutely baffling to read the old pre-draft scouting reports on Darko.

Things like “handles the ball and runs the floor like a guard,” and “has range out to the 3-point line” are in there. What on God’s green earth happened to that guy?! It’s more than just a loss of confidence. There is absolutely, positively, no trace whatsoever of the things pre-draft Darko was supposedly able to do.

Who's gonna score?

I thought I was done with this question this year, but man we threw out some janky lineups tonight. It sucks when you’re watching as Telfair swings the ball to Ellington, who drops it in to a posted up Koufos, who kicks it back out to Brewer, who sends it in on the other side to Darko, isolated against the best defender in basketball for a prayer or a leaning, falling hook/scoop shot. I just don’t know what the coach expects to have happen when he fields lineups so sorely lacking in offensive talent. I know we’re injured, but man!
