Breakfast Nachos Recipe with Fried Egg, Avocado, Escabeche, Chilli and Spicy Salsa. 10 Most Popular Recipes of November 2021. Copyright © 2022 Terence Carter / Grantourismo. All Rights Reserved.

10 Most Popular Recipes of November 2021 – Recipes Our Readers Cooked in November

Our 10 most popular recipes of November 2021 included a mix of new recipes, best recipe collections, and old recipes such as my authentic Russian beef Stroganoff recipe and Terence’s guide to how to boil eggs perfectly every time, which I’ve excluded from this list as they’ve appeared multiple times. Excited to see what you read in December.

It was so interesting to see what recipes you’ve been browsing this month as I compiled this collection of our 10 most popular recipes of November 2021. The top ten recipes included a combination of new recipes for November and a handful of best recipe collections that we’ve been publishing, along with older recipes that have appeared on previous round-ups.

As I said when we first started this monthly series of our 10 most popular recipes earlier this year, we’re going to exclude the old recipes – sometimes over a decade-old – such as our tomato bredie recipe for the classic Cape Town stew, our côte de bœuf recipe from Paris from superstar French chef Pierre Gagnaire, and our rabo de toro oxtail stew from Jerez.

Those recipes were created for the recipe series called The Dish, in which we shared recipes for the quintessential dishes of each of the places we settled into for two weeks at a time on the 2010 yearlong global grand tour that launched Grantourismo. They’ve topped our best recipe lists year after year, so it would be boring for you if they kept topping these lists.

For the same reason, we also decided to exclude recipes that have appeared on our monthly best recipes lists before, such as my Russian beef Stroganoff recipe, Cambodian nom banh chok recipe, and Terence’s guide to how to boil eggs perfectly every time, which I’ve excluded from this list.

When that happens, we’ll look at the top 20 most popular recipes of the month. Some months we might even look at the top 30 most popular recipe posts if there are a significant number of best recipe compilations rather than just recipes. As that happened this month, we’ll publish a second post, which will essentially be a collection of our best recipe collections.

Now before I share our 10 most popular recipes of November 2021, the recipes our readers searched for and spent most of their time this month, the recipes that we hoped they cooked this month, we have a favour to ask.

Most Popular Recipes of November 2021 – Here’s What Our Readers Have Been Cooking

Here are the 10 most popular recipes of November 2021 on Grantourismo – the recipes our readers searched for, spent time on, and cooked this month.

MOST POPULAR RECIPES OF NOVEMBER 2021 ON GRANTOURISMO

If you’ve made any of our 10 most popular recipes of November 2021 we’d love to know how they turned out for you.

Egg Foo Young Recipe for the Original Cantonese Style Crispy Omelette Fu Yong Dan

This egg foo young recipe makes the original Cantonese style egg foo young – or egg foo yung and egg fu yung for the English transliteration and fu yong dan or fuyong dan for the Cantonese name – and it was one of four Weekend Eggs recipes that made this list and the most-visited of our 10 most popular recipes of November 2021. A deliciously crispy omelette filled with pork, spring onions and bean sprouts, in originated in Southern China in the 18th century during the Ching Dynasty. We mostly make this Cantonese style egg foo young recipe or fu yong dan recipe with savoury pork mince instead of char siu pork and it’s absolutely delicious. Don’t get us wrong, we adore char siu or Chinese barbecued pork and have had a char sui pork recipe on the site for many years. Pork is fantastic here in Cambodia and it’s affordable, but we love pork mince with this omelette.

Homemade Mexican Pickled Jalapenos Recipe for Quick and Easy Refrigerator Pickles

This homemade pickled jalapenos recipe was the next most-read post of our 10 most popular recipes of November 2021. The recipe makes quick and easy refrigerator pickles that are fantastic served as a side or topped on Mexican dishes such as tacos and open tortillas, and Tex-Mex favourites such as nachos, burritos and quesadillas. Also called quick pickles, they take ten minutes to make and are far more affordable and more delicious than a jar of store-bought jalapeños. You’re going to love this homemade pickled jalapeños recipe if you made and enjoyed our Mexican quick pickled onions recipe for cebollas curtidas or cebollas en escabeche or our quick pickled red cabbage recipe for col roja en escabeche, col lombarda en escabeche or col morada en escabeche. You can use these homemade pickled jalapeños in exactly the same way, sprinkled on top of any number of Mexican breakfast dishes or eaten with chilli con carne. You can also use them in burgers and sandwiches.

Breakfast Nachos Recipe with Fried Egg, Avocado, Escabeche, Chilli and Spicy Salsa

Our breakfast nachos recipe with fried egg, avocado, escabeche, chilli and spicy salsa makes a cheesy nachos topped with homemade Mexican escabeche, vegetarian bean chilli, spicy tomato salsa, avocado slices, and sour cream, and it was another of our 10 most popular recipes of November 2021. If you’ve made our ultimate nachos recipe, then you’re going to love our breakfast nachos recipe, which was another Weekend Eggs recipe. And if you’ve been cooking along with us recently and made our vegetarian bean chilli and Mexican escabeche (mixed vegetable pickles), then this breakfast nachos gives you a great excuse to use them – along with Terence’s easy tomato salsa, or chilli con carne if you prefer meat with your chilli. It makes a fun, filling weekend brunch if you’re in need of comfort food – or a hangover cure.

Classic Pavlova Recipe with Kiwi Fruit and the History of this Popular Australian Dessert

This classic pavlova recipe with kiwi fruit and history of Australia’s signature dessert comes courtesy of food writer Matt Preston, whose recently-released World of Flavour, The Recipes, Myths and Surprising Stories Behind the World’s Best-Loved Food is a cookbook as much as a myth-busting culinary history that finally sets the record straight: pavlova is Australian, not from New Zealand. If you enjoyed Matt Preston’s spaghetti bolognaise recipe and history of ‘spag bol’, which we recently published, and you’re also a lover of that other great Australian dish, the pavlova, then you’re going to love Matt Preston’s classic pavlova recipe with kiwi fruit and his history of pavlova, Australia’s favourite dessert, and another of our 10 most popular recipes of November 2021.

Massaman Curry Fried Rice Recipe for Fried Rice with Crispy Onions, Crunchy Potatoes and Pan-Roasted Peanuts

Savoury rice with crunchy fried potatoes, crispy fried onions, pan-roasted peanuts, and the perfume of dried spices such as cumin, cardamom, cinnamon, and nutmeg, my Massaman curry fried rice recipe makes the perfect bowl of comfort food and was another of our 10 most popular recipes of November 2021. Full of flavour, filling, and energy-giving – with rice and potatoes, it’s loaded with carbs – it would also fix a hangover or be perfect for fuelling up before exercise. I created this Massaman curry fried rice recipe to use up leftover steamed rice and Thai Massaman curry leftovers we had in the fridge from the previous night. As regular readers, who would be aware of my rice project, Make Rice Not War (A Celebration of Rice Diversity to Inspire Curiosity and Connection), would know, I’m obsessed with rice, and Terence and I love to invent new fried rice dishes. However, you could also plan to make a Thai Massaman curry one night with a view to making this the day after.

Egg Foo Young with Gravy Recipe for the Chinese American Crispy Omelette That’s a Takeout Favourite

This egg foo young with gravy recipe makes the Chinese American restaurant specialty of crispy omelettes doused in gravy and sprinkled with scallions, sesame seeds and bean sprouts, and like the original Cantonese recipe, above, it was another of our 10 most popular recipes of November 2021. Served with rice, the fantastic, filling omelette can be eaten for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner and is just as delicious as the Cantonese original, above. This recipe will make you a version of the original Cantonese omelette that has evolved in Chinese diasporas right around the world, where the dish has been tweaked to suit local tastes and availability of ingredients. The main difference between the original Cantonese egg foo young recipe from Southern China and the Chinese American egg foo yung with gravy recipe is that the American dish consists of smaller omelettes rather than one large omelette that’s sliced or broken apart with chopsticks.

Best Breakfast Salad Recipe with Soft Boiled Eggs, Bacon, Avocado, Sautéed Mushrooms, and Pickles

Who doesn’t love a deliciously filling breakfast salad? Guilt-free bacon, eggs and mushrooms – and crispy bacon and mushrooms sautéed in bacon juices at that! – lightened up in a fresh fragrant salad, made all the healthier with zingy pickles, which are so good for our gut-health. Our best breakfast salad recipe makes a healthy-ish breakfast salad with soft boiled eggs, avocado, crispy bacon, mushrooms sautéed in the bacon juices, crunchy lettuce, sweet cherry tomatoes, and bright tangy pickles. It’s for those of you who can’t decide between a healthy breakfast or comforting bacon and eggs. It was yet another recent edition to our Weekend Eggs breakfast recipe series and it was another of our 10 most popular recipes of November 2021.

Pink Dragon Fruit Sago Pudding Recipe for the Prettiest Tropical Superfood Dessert

This pink dragon fruit sago pudding recipe makes the prettiest tropical superfood dessert that’s a delicious combination of the mango sago dessert and red dragon fruit smoothie recipes I recently published. Not only is this tropical fruit pudding delightful to look at – who doesn’t love pink sweets? – it’s a healthy dessert too. If you don’t know red dragon fruit, it’s a superfood. Loaded with antioxidants, red dragon fruit is rich in vitamins and minerals, it’s also high in fibre, low in calories, and is great for gut health. It was another of our 10 most popular recipes of November 2021. If you make it and enjoy it, do peruse our collection of Asian dessert recipes for more desserts like this.

Easy Southern Thai Chicken and Rice Recipe for Khao Mok Gai, a Thai Style ‘Biryani’

This easy Southern Thai chicken and rice recipe for khao mok gai makes braised chicken cooked in a spicy gravy and served with turmeric rice and crispy fried shallots and it was another of our 10 most popular recipes of November 2021.. ‘Khao’ means rice, ‘gai’ is chicken, and ‘mok’ means to bury underneath or within in modern Thai. Interestingly, ‘khmok’ is an old Khmer word that means to cook within banana leaves, which is how this dish was probably once cooked, and to find out more about that you’ll have to wait for our Cambodian cookbook. A Thai Muslim specialty from Southern Thailand, it’s often called a Thai biryani or Thai style biryani. Like a biryani the chicken can be cooked with the rice or separately. Either way, it’s wonderful.

Easy Trifle Recipe for a Tropical Trifle with Papaya, Pineapple Custard, Mango Puree and Lychee Jelly

This easy trifle recipe makes a tropical trifle with layers of rum-soaked vanilla sponge, fresh papaya, lychee jelly, pineapple custard, mango puree, fresh passionfruit, and cream, topped with dried tropical fruits. In my late childhood cum early teenage years I was obsessed with trifles, which I regularly made in a traditional trifle bowl, but these days I like to serve trifles in individual glasses. The presentation not only makes for a more elegant looking trifle that’s more suited to holiday entertaining, but the trifles set faster and hold together better. While the Australian trifle I made as a child was modelled on the traditional British trifle, which consisted of just three layers, booze-soaked sponge cake, jelly and custard, topped with whipped cream, I have seven layers here, however, it’s still a breeze to make and a delight to eat, and it was another of our 10 most popular recipes of November 2021.

If you’re still looking for food inspo for Chris If you’re still looking for food inspo for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day meals, my smoked salmon ‘carpaccio’ recipe is one of dozens of recipes in this compilation of our best Christmas recipes (link below). 

The Christmas recipe compilation includes collections of our best Christmas breakfast recipes, best Christmas brunch recipes, best Christmas starter recipes, best Christmas cocktails, best Christmas dessert recipes, and homemade edible Christmas gifts and more.

My smoked salmon carpaccio recipe makes an easy elegant appetiser that’s made in minutes. If you’re having guests over, you can make the dish ahead by assembling the salmon, capers and pickled onions, and refrigerate it, then pour on the dressing just before serving. 

Provide toasted baguette slices and bowls of additional capers, pickles and dressing, so guests can customise their carpaccio. And open the bubbly!

If you haven’t visited our site in a while, I sh If you haven’t visited our site in a while, I shared a collection of recipes for homemade edible Christmas gifts — for condiments, hot sauces, chilli oils, a whole array of pickles, spice blends, chilli salt, furakake seasoning, and spicy snacks, such as our Cambodian and Vietnamese roasted peanuts. 

I love giving homemade edibles as gifts as much as I love receiving them. Who wouldn’t appreciate jars filled with their favourite chilli oils, hot sauces, piquant pickles, and spicy peanuts that loved-ones have taken the time to make? 

Aside from the gesture and affordability of gifting homemade edibles, you’re minimising waste. You can use recycled jars or if buying new mason jars or clip-top Kilner jars, you know they’ll get repurposed.

No need for wrapping, just attach some Christmas baubles or tinsel to the lid. I used squares of Cambodian kramas (cotton scarves), which can be repurposed as napkins or drink coasters, and tied a ribbon or two around the lids, and attached last year’s Christmas tree decorations to some.

You’ll find the recipes here: https://grantourismotravels.com/homemade-edible-christmas-gifts/ (link in bio if you’re seeing this on IG)

This crab omelette is a decadent eggs dish that’ This crab omelette is a decadent eggs dish that’s perfect if you’re just back from the fish markets armed with luxurious fresh crab meat. It’s a little sweet, a little spicy, and very, very moreish.

Our crab omelette recipe was one of our 22 most popular egg recipes of 2022 on our website Grantourismo and it’s no surprise. It’s appeared more times than any other egg recipes on our annual round-ups of most popular recipes since Terence launched Weekend Eggs when we launched Grantourismo in 2010.

If you’re an eggs lover, do check out the recipe collection. It includes egg recipes from right around the world, from recipes for classic kopitiam eggs from Singapore and Malaysia and egg curries from India and Myanmar to all kinds of egg recipes from Thailand, Japan, Korea, China, Mexico, USA, Australia, UK, and Ireland.

And do browse our Weekend Eggs archives for further eggspiration (sorry). We have hundreds of egg recipes from the 13 year-old series of recipes for quintessential egg dishes from around the world, which we started on our 2010 year-long global grand tour focused on slow, local and experiential travel. 

We’re hoping 2023 will be the year we can finally publish the Weekend Eggs cookbook we’ve talked about for years based on that series. After we can find a publisher for the Cambodia cookbook of course... :(

I’m late to share this, but a few days ago Angko I’m late to share this, but a few days ago Angkor Archaeological Park, home to stupendous Angkor Wat, pictured, celebrated 30 years of its UNESCO World Heritage listing. 

That’s as good an excuse as any to put this magnificent, sprawling archaeological site on your travel list this year.

While riverside Siem Reap, your base for exploring Angkor is bustling once more, there are still nowhere near the visitors of the last busy high season months of December-January 2018-2019 when there were 290,000 visitors. 

Last month there were just 55,000 visitors and December feels a little quieter. A tour guide friend said there were about 150 people at Angkor Wat for sunrise a few days ago.

If you’re looking for tips to visiting Angkor, Siem Reap and Cambodia, just ask us a question in the comments below or check Grantourismo as we’ve got loads of info on our site. Click through to the link in the bio and explore our Cambodia guide or search for ‘Angkor’. 

And please do let us know if you’re coming to Siem Reap. We’d love to see you here x

Our soy ginger chicken recipe will make you sticky Our soy ginger chicken recipe will make you sticky, flavourful and succulent chicken thighs that are fantastic with steamed rice, Chinese greens or a salad, such as a Southeast Asian slaw. 

The chicken can be marinated for up to 24 hours before cooking, which ensures it’s packed with flavour, then it can be cooked on a barbecue or in a pan.

Terence’s soy ginger chicken recipe is one of our favourite recipes for a quick and easy meal. I love the sound of the sizzling thighs in the pan, and the warming aromas wafting through the apartment. 

It’s amazing how such flavourful juicy chicken thighs come from such a quick and easy recipe.

Who can guess the ingredients and what we’re mak Who can guess the ingredients and what we’re making with my market haul from Psar Samaki in Siem Reap — all for a whopping 10,000 riel (US$2.50)?! 

Birds-eye chillies thrown in for free! They were on my list but the seller I spent most at (5,000 riel!) scooped up a handful and slipped them into my bag. She was my last stop and knew what I was making.

My Khmer is poor, even after all our years in Cambodia, as I don’t learn languages with the ease I did in my 20s, plus I’m mentally exhausted after researching and writing all day. I have a better vocabulary of Old and Middle Khmer than modern Khmer from studying the ancient inscriptions for the Cambodian culinary history component of our cookbook I’m writing.

So when one seller totalled my purchases I thought she said 5,000 riel but she handed back 4,500 riel! The sum total of two huge bunches of herbs and kaffir lime leaves was 500 riel.

Tip: if visiting Siem Reap, use Khmer riel for local shopping. We’ve mainly used riel since the pandemic started— rarely use US$ now as market sellers quote prices in riels, as do local shops and bakeries, and I tip tuk tuk drivers in riels. I find prices quoted in riels are lower.

Psar Samaki is cheaper than Psar Leu, which is cheaper than Psar Chas, as it’s a wholesale market, which means the produce is fresher. I see veggies arriving, piled high in the back of vehicles, with dirt still on them — as I did on this trip. 

The scent of a mountain of incredibly aromatic pineapples offloaded from the back of a dusty ute was so heady they smelt like they’d just been cut. More exotic European style veggies arrive by big trucks in boxes labelled in Vietnamese (from Dalat) and Mandarin (from China), such as beautiful snow-white cauliflower I spotted.

Note: the freshest produce is sold on the dirt road at the back of the market.

My Vietnamese-ish meatballs and rice noodles recip My Vietnamese-ish meatballs and rice noodles recipe makes tender meatballs doused in a delightfully tangy-sweet sauce, sprinkled with crispy fried shallots, with carrot-daikon, crunchy cucumber and fragrant herbs. 

The dish is inspired by bún chả, a Hanoi specialty, but it’s not bún chả. No matter what Google or food bloggers tell you. Names are important, especially when cooking and writing about cuisines not our own.

This is an authentic bún chả recipe:  https://grantourismotravels.com/vietnamese-bun-cha-recipe/ You’ll need to get the outdoor BBQ/grill going to do proper smoky bún chả meat patties (not meatballs).

My meatball noodle bowl is perhaps more closely related to dishes such as a Central Vietnam cousin bún thịt nướng (pork skewers on rice noodles in a bowl) and a Southern relation bún bò Nam Bộ (beef atop rice noodles, sprinkled with fried shallots (Nam Bộ=Southern Vietnam) though neither include meatballs. 

Xíu mại= meatballs although they’re different in flavour to mine, which taste more like bún chả patties. Xíu mại remind me of Southern Italian meatballs in tomato sauce.

In Vietnam’s Mekong Delta, home to millions of Khmer, there’s bánh tằm xíu mại. Bánh tằm=silk worm noodles. They’re topped with meatballs, cucumber, daikon, carrot, fresh herbs, crispy fried onions. Difference: cold noodles doused in a sauce of coconut cream and fish sauce. 

Remove the meatballs, add chopped fried spring rolls and it’s Cambodia’s banh sung, which is a rice noodle salad similar to Vietnam’s bún chả giò :)

It is pure coincidence that Pepper’s eye colour It is pure coincidence that Pepper’s eye colour matches the furnishings of our rented apartment. So, no, I did not colour-coordinate the interiors to match our cat’s eyes. 

I keep getting DMs from pet clothing brands wanting to “partner” with Pepper and send her free cat clothes and cat accessories. Although she did wear a kerchief for a few years in her more adventurous fashion-forward teenage years, I cannot see this cat in clothes now, can you?
