That's got to be, at least, 8-12% of the dish's actual appeal; I'd be an idiot not to include it.
This dish has cursed me, though... I can't see ground beef or cream cheese anymore without thinking, "Man, I wish I had the money to make 'The Archduke Franz-Ferdinand'..."
My friend Eric and I are going to go to a Christmasless, pot-luck style party on the 19th being thrown by the head organizer of the 'Las Vegas Atheists'. And Eric has revealed that he's willing to sponsor the funds for production of The Archduke Franz-Ferdinand as long as I do the cooking! I shall carry the dish(And note cards with the recipe) to the wider atheist community in Las Vegas.
I've just finished printing the copies of the recipe I'm going to be handing out and in a few minutes I'll be going shopping for the ingredients. Does it store well? Will I be able to make it now and have it still be explosive, kill-yourself level goodness or should I wait and make it before I leave? Also, I'm going to be scaling the amount to start with two pounds of beef(Veil perhaps?) and I wanted to know if you'd change anything or just adjust everything to appropriate proportions(Not an isometric increase, a dynamic increase based on your knowledge of cooking.).
Hopefully you check this before I must start cooking or I'm boned.
The Archduke Franz-Ferdinand does not store PARTICULARLY well; the sauces and such form a sort of warm and yummy glop which permeates the dish, and when it cools, it congeals in a manner which is slightly less pleasant. I would definitely reccommend consuming it very soon after preparation for maximum enjoyment.
I would say that merely scaling the ingredients proportionately ought to get the job done very well, though it's difficult to say with certainty; I could imagine the frying beef requiring somewhat less soy sauce and black bean sauce, but I wouldn't want to gamble on it.
Sweet(Or should I say savory?) Success!turbolinux999December 21 2008, 17:14:28 UTC
It went over just as predicted. I kind of screwed up the cooking and it ended up a little light on sauce, but it was still amazing. I brought home the leftovers and it was one helping. The Black Bean Sauce and the Dark Soy Sauce were a total bitch to find and I noticed that the sesame seeds are in the list, but not in the directions. What is their role and how much do I add for next time?
This recipe is truly a gift to the world and I say Thankee, Sai for your contribution to the positive(And tasty) side of our world!
I shall prepare it as mystery and then unveil it as a unique, Canadian creation. All shall be awed!
I have not tried it yet, but I thankee, Dave!
