With apple as the ingredient for this month's Weekend Wokking, I expecting to receive many sweet recipes. I was pleasantly surprised to find a lot of savory dishes using apples.
The first was Green Tea Noodle Soup with Apples by Dancing Kitchen. Green Tea buckwheat noodles was combined with the mild taste of apples. If you can find the noodles, it's an interesting dish worth trying!!
Wandering Chopsticks, creator of Weekend Wokking, was inspired by Bon Marche Bistro/B Village Cuisine to make Fried Rice with Apples and Cubed Beef. A unique and delicious one skillet/ wok dish using leftover rice, scrambled eggs, apples, beef and soy sauce!
Eat!Travel!Eat! prepared a yummy Apple Curry Chicken with Vermont Curry Roux as base. It had a very mild, spicy and slightly sweet flavor. Adding bell pepper will result in a curry reminiscent of what is offered in most Hong Kong Cafes.
The last savory dish was from Natasha. One of the dishes for Thanksgiving dinner 5-Star Foodie created was Savory Apples Au Gratin. The superb combination of apples with melted Gruyere and Emmentaler chesses was incredible and became the favorite dish of the night. I can't wait to try this for myself!
Now for the sweet dishes:
Javaholic made Indonesian Spiced Apple Caramel Bars with coconut milk in lieu of whipped cream and macadamia nuts for a tropical flavor. Yum! Yum! It's very sweet, tasty and a sure hit with kids!
Erbeincucina prepared a Spiced Apple Sauce with sugar, star anise and pepper to pair with meat or savory pancakes.
I created Apple Mac N' Cheese Fruit Salad, a light fruit salad made of apples, kiwi and strawberries with wacky pasta and a honey lime dressing. You can add whatever other fruit you may prefer such as mandarin oranges, nectarines, mangoes, or whatever is in season!
This month's WW dishes were superb! Thanks to everyone who participated.
