Singapore Noodles

Singapore Noodles is a classic dish in Asian cuisine, with a subtle and intriguing mix of flavors drawn from many different countries in Southeast Asia. Our version of Singapore Noodles is a little more seafood forward, using both shrimp and dried shrimp powder.  We like the contrast of the clean ocean flavor of fresh shrimp, the umami of the shrimp powder and the dual pork flavors of ham and barbequed pork. Singapore Noodles is excellent served as a main course, it can also anchor a buffet with Green Beans and Shiitake Mushrooms Stir Fry and Indonesian Eggplant, and pairs well with a cold, fruit-forward rosé wine.

Red Curry Ragu

Red Curry Ragù combines two things we love: a good, meaty ragù sauce and spicy red Thai curry.  With this recipe, red curry paste combines with pork sausage to create an intriguing, spicy and unexpected ragù.  If you can find them, the deep green Makrut lime leaves add a colorful and bright note to the ragù. Red Curry Ragù pairs perfectly with Rigatoni, Penne, Ziti, Mostaccioli, Radiatore or even Gnocchi and a bold red wine. Chianti anyone?  Save room for a dessert afterwards, such as Blood Orange Custard Pie, and an espresso.
