What Kind of Hipster Are You?

I think I fall into the "Accidental Hipster" category...

Farmers Market Dried Peaches

Every Thursday, the Century City Farmers Market brings all the suits together for fresh fruits and produce, as well as home-made tamales, samosas, and the world famous Hawaiian chicken.

One of my favorite stands is the dried fruits and nuts. This past week, I picked up some delicious sun dried apricots and peaches. After eating half pound of the delicious dried heaven, I brought the leftovers home and cooked up a lemon vinaigrette reduction. After cooking up the last of the pork chops, I put the dried peaches in the reduction, and let them simmer for about 15 minutes...and voila! Delicious mini pork chops with dried peaches in lemon vinaigrette reduction. As a side, I got some organic string beans and made my mother's famous soy vinegar string beans.

I bought too many pork chops...

...and I got sick of eating plain grilled chops... So I decided to experiment a little bit, reaching back to my Chinese roots. I took out the chops from the fridge and let them sit at room temp for about 15 min so the meat can tenderize and release the moisture. Then I marinated the chops with soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, and a tiny bit of lime and ginger. I heated up the wok with oil and diced garlic (very important, the Chinese begin every dish with garlic in oil). I threw in the chops and let them cook until about 70% done. Then I took them out and sliced the meat into strips (see picture), leaving the sauce in the wok. I then threw in the diced veggies (onions and peppers) and added a little bit more soy sauce. I put the meat back in and stirred until fully cooked, then finished off with a little secret ingredient...sesame oil. This took about 20min total to make. Not bad for a Monday night!
