There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Pac Choy and Potato Hash - Testing


1 - It was good but steamed. I want to look at other pan-fried potato recipes I have where it browns. Although the steamed stuff was good, I wonder about the difference of having crisp potatoes with charred bok choy. 

Per serving

1 small onion, finely chopped (4oz/115g)
2 Tbsps + 1 tsp mild oil
1/2 pound (about 2 medium) potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters then sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 pound baby bok choy, roughly chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1 finely sliced serrano or Thai bird chili
1 tsp hot sauce, or more to taste
Salt and ground black pepper
2 eggs
Fresh salsa (Hot sauce, Sambal Oelek, or hot pepper relish for serving)
  1. Cook until onions just start to soften then add potatoes. Cook until brown on the bottom (about 6 minutes), then break up to brown evenly, stirring (about 15 minutes more).
  2. Add garlic and bok choy. Continue to cook, tossing and stirring occasionally, until vegetables are all well browned and charred in spots, about 4 minutes longer. Add sliced chili and hot sauce. Cook, stirring constantly for 30 seconds. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer hash to a warm serving platter and keep warm
  3. Wipe out skillet and add remaining teaspoon oil. Heat over medium heat until shimmering. Add eggs and cook until desired level of doneness is reached. Season with salt and pepper. Place eggs on top of has and serve immediately with hot sauce, Sambal Oelek, or hot pepper relish.
