Portugal Cooking

Posted on November 13, 2021November 13, 2021

I lived before in Lisbon so I was super excited when we had to cook Portuguese food. I had great times there.

  • Bacalhau com natas – Cod baked with potato and cream. I still remember my professor, Teresa, preparing this for our team before, so this brings back memories. 9/10.
  • Arroz de pato – rice with duck and chorizo. 9/10.
  • Pastel de nata – pastry with cream. Probably one of my most favorite pastries ever. It is just so addictive especially the one from Pasteis de Belem. Our version is not as good considering we just used puff pastry. I would rate the typical version you can find in Portugal 10.5/10, our version is around 6/10.

Mongolia Cooking

  • Buuz – meat dumplings. Nothing too special here. 6/10. Recipe here.
  • Budaatai Khuurga – beef fried rice. Just learned that the Mongolian rice bowl that’s quite famous in Asia is not Mongolian but Taiwanese. This more authentic version we cooked was also quite good. 8/10. Recipe here.
