Examples of 4 sandwiches; Meatball, Monte Cristo, Lobster Roll and a Spicy Philly Cheesesteak.

Why Sandwiches?

Several years ago, someone requested Sandwich Recipes and I thought to myself, “Seriously? Who doesn’t know how to make a sandwich…” but, at the time, I was only thinking about basic deli or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that we all grew up on as children. Also, I rarely look at a menu and think, “Gee, I think I’ll order a sandwich.” I’m more of Pasta, Steak and Potato kind of guy with lots of sauce and gravy. I want that food to stick to my ribs, if you know what I mean.

I always hated school lunch hoagies. The ham was always dried out and the cheese was terrible. French Dip Sandwiches, however, got my attention and I loved the Aju. I always drink what’s leftover, from the bottom of the dipping saucer. Thinking about that sandwich, though, is what turned my thinking around. I also realized that my wife always orders a Reuben at our favorite burger joint. A friend of mine gets the Monte Cristo, when we meet for lunch. An old boss of mine bought my welding crew Meatball subs once, as an apology for being a total douche the day before, and they were great. Plus, who doesn’t love a good grilled cheese?

So, Long story short, I decided to go to work and I started cranking out sandwich video tutorials. Everything I’ve learned, cooking over the years, has taught me to take every inch of a sandwich seriously. From the butter to the mayonnaise or secret sauce, a great sandwich is meticulously planned. In some cases, the bread has to be seasoned or it’s got to be a particular bread or sub roll. These things make all the difference and in this video compilation, you’ll see why.

Fried Cod in Sweet Chili Black Bean Garlic Sauce

The Best Black Bean Garlic Sauce for Cod

This is a very popular recipe in many Asian Restaurants and I’ve seen recipes listed all over the web but, once again, the ingredients and preparation fall short and these food bloggers aren’t teaching it correctly. I guarantee that this is the Best Cod in Black Bean Garlic Sauce recipe you’ll ever try because I give you a fish marinade (no one else does), a light fried breading (most recipes skip) and a super easy and delicious sauce that comes in premade bottles, that you can purchase for cheap. You just have to know the proper amounts to mix. Otherwise you’d have to combine over a dozen different ingredients just to make the sauce from scratch. I recommend 3 bottled ingredients and a broth to thin and stretch out the sauce.

One Cod filet, weighing just under a pound, sliced into 2″ inch portions.
This Marinade can be used with Calamari, Shrimp, Fish, Chicken, Pork and/or Beef.
White onion, several sweet peppers and one Jalapeno pepper, chopped into 1″ inch pieces.
Potato Starch for a light coating on the fish, for frying, after it’s marinated.
Deep fried Cod fish portions that were marinated and dusted in potato starch.
These 3 sauces combined, in the right portions, make an amazing sweet chili and black bean garlic sauce.

Black Bean Garlic Sauce

If you don’t already know, Black Bean Garlic Sauce can be purchased, as is, in a jar, ready to go. The problem is, it leaves much to be desired because it’s just fermented black beans. It’s very potent, sour and other ingredients need to be added to balance out the flavor. In a restaurant setting, a wok cook would combine at least half a dozen ingredients to create the fusion. The 3 bottled sauces, pictured above is all I combine to create a sauce the properly balances this Cod in Black Bean Garlic Sauce recipe. The sauce is a bit thick for this dish, however, so I thin it out with Beef or Chicken Broth.

I also use these 3 bottles to make a sauce for my Salt and Pepper Calamari and one of my Sea Scallop recipes.
