I had a bottle of Nouc Mam. Even closed tightly it stunk up the fridge so badly I threw it away. My heart goes out to you for six months downwind of a Nuoc Mam plant.

You probably still stink. ;-)

Wait.... it was Mam Nem. Nuoc Mam is very mild in comparison I have heard.

I was on Phu Quoc near the village of An Thoi.

The plant there made both.

I use the same ingredients (water w/chicken boullion cubes) with flour, but I also add some Gravy Master. It enhances the flavor and darkens the color. I also add salt & pepper to taste.

Happy Thanksgiving!

[cherry]

do you grind up the rosemary first, or just dump it into the gravy fixings?

this is turning into a Thanksgiving cooking thread and I love it...

“I actually BBQ my turkey weather permitting. I always add a little JD Black to the old BBQ sauce.”

When using Jack Daniels for cooking or flavoring the less aged green label provides more flavor plus it’s less expensive. It may be harder to find though.

For beef gravy : sesame seed oil.....

You only want the barest amount, not even a drop. Pour a drop into a spoon and the pour that back into the oil bottle and stir the gravy with that spoon.

It gives a rich taste but with out over powering the main flavor.

“I make decent gravy, but I want to try some kind of orangy flavored sauce this year. Still looking for recipes.”

Thank-you for mentioning that. I’m going to do the turkey on the webber grill/indirect heat this year. After reading your comment I’m gonna dump a can of OJ concentrate into the brine and let it sit overnight before cooking.

A tablespoon of chicken granules — not cubes.Or a little more if needed. Kicks the flavor up.

I tend to rub it into pieces with my (clean) fingers first. Don’t put too much in — it can be really strong. :-)

In addition, if you’ll roast it breast-side down you’ll have the must delicious, moist white meat ever!
