Take 1 tablet by mouth daily.
I am already examining my bacon supply and interrogating my mother as to which is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe in her dessert box. Right now my big issue is that if I do this I will cut deeply into her chocolate chip supply. I love my mom, I don't want to deprive her. She doesn't buy candy like a normal person she just eats chocolate chips.

So this is all pushed back until I can get to the store.

Does anyone have a good dairy-free cornbread recipe? I don't need it immediately, more for future use/passing on.

I really like to make black cod marinated in sake, miso, and sugar. I sear it on both sides then throw the whole pan in the oven for 10 min. But apparently there is no black cod to be had in Oregon right now due to rough ocean conditions. Fish market guy said that rockfish would be an imperfect but passable substitute.

So my first question is should I cook it about the same amount of time? Or will rock fish get tough if I throw it in the oven for 10 minutes? Or undercook? I know some fish really just want to be seared on each side and that's about it, others need a little more.

Second question: I'm now the proud owner of a big cast iron griddle with grill things on one side and flat on the other side. I'm thinking of using it for this recipe since I'm making too much for my usual pan. I've never actually used the side with grilly things... is now the time??

Nobody has better respect for intelligence than Donald Trump.

I have been the victim of a cooking fuckup when a certain sous-chef who will remain nameless decided to help make my peanut sauce thicker by adding about a tablespoon of cornstarch to it. This sauce was not cooked. How long until my abdomen no longer hurts? It's been 2 days, with slight improvement.

Dairy free, but not vegetarian in case that's important.

2 cups cornmeal
1 tbs baking powder
1/2 tsp soda
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup plus two tbs bacon grease (divided)
2 eggs
1 tbs white vinegar

Preheat your oven to 450. Mix the dry ingredients well. Melt 1/4 cup of bacon grease in a cast iron skillet and stir in. In the pan you just melted the fat, add the rest of the bacon grease and get it hot on the stove top. Beat the eggs, stir in. Add enough water to form a batter, then add vinegar. Quickly pour the batter into the hot greased skillet - it should pop and skitter a bit in the pan. Into the oven for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2 cups almond or soy milk
2 tsp vinegar

Whisk those together.

2 cups cornmeal
1 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
.5 tsp salt, or more to taste

Whisk those together.

1/3 cup canola oil or other neutral oil
2 Tbsp maple syrup

Add those to milk, then whisk for a while.

Add wet to dry, mix, pour into cast iron skillet, and bake 30 to 35 minutes.

Results:
Rockfish was still super yummy with miso/sake/sugar marinade
I erred on the shorter side and did 6 minutes in the oven, it was real good
I used the flat side and given how much things were already almost falling apart, i think grill side would have been a disaster

Sounds like you got it sorted already, but "rockfish" is kinda a catchall category instead of a specific species of fish. If it's coming from a fishmonger who's getting it from local wild fisheries in the Pacific Northwest it's probably one of a dozen or so commercially important species in Sebastolobus, some of which can pass for (and are sometimes misleadingly sold as) red snapper. Black cod/sablefish tends to have flesh that, as a fillet, is a little less firm and a little flakier than that.

I'd expect a fishmonger to be able to clarify what kind of rockfish they're selling if asked. Most of the fishmongers these days that care about certifying origin, method of catch, and so on will generally sell "rockfish" as something slightly more specific—chilipepper rockfish, canary rockfish, or whatever.

None of this helps if you've already cooked and eaten it, just throwing it out there for next time.

Excellent, thanks, I'll give both of these a try! Had a get together with friends tonight that turned into an impromptu potluck - I wanted to bring cornbread to go along with the chili someone brought, but one person in the group is severely lactose intolerant.

Someone rec me a Sriracha brand sauce that:

Is on the spicer side
Isn't particularly sweet
Isn't just Sambal

I'm going to use it mainly to top some Hawaiian plate lunch, loco moco, etc, and maybe use it as a base for some tofu marinades. Nothing exotic but I want it to fit in with tropical/island flavor.

I'm thinking almost something more like a roja, but specifically identifiable as Sriracha (not like a variation of a salsa). No homemades because I already have a recipe for them but want something I can just grab.

I made this beef bulgogi recipe to eat for lunch this week:

quote:

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds boneless rib eye steak
½ small pear, peeled and coarsely grated
¼ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1 tablespoon gochujang, Korean red pepper paste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

It's straightforward, the first 8 ingredients all go into a bag together (you slice up the beef first) to marinate and then you just stir-fry it. No idea if it's authentic, although something like a grated pear is pretty specific if it isn't. It's tasty, but I'd like it to be spicier, it isn't very spicy. I've seen Korean recipes that call for Korean chili flakes, I'm sure I can track some down but right now I don't have any. Is that the best way to increase the heat? (I was a bit surprised how little gochujang it calls for.) Is the flavor noticeably different if I just use "regular" crushed red pepper?

Korean chili flakes (Gochugaru) have a very distinct, great fruity chili flavor. Highly recommend you track some down and use them.

That being said, they are not very spicy at all. If you want more spice, I’d just add some cayenne in addition, for some pretty neutral straight heat.

Thanks! I will try to find some. Any suggestions on somewhere online to order them? I'm not seeing a lot from anywhere I've heard of besides Amazon; I'm always a little leery of ordering foodstuffs from Amazon, but I've done it before and I could do it again if necessary.

Amazon IMO.

I normally go in person to an Asian market, and my usual online sources Mala market and Penzey’s don’t carry Gochugaru.

The top result on Amazon is Nongshim Taekyung, which is what I always buy in person, so should be legit. Just make sure to get flake, not powder.

So I think I messed up dinner tonight. I had some lamb chops from my farm share I wanted to use, and some za'atar I wanted to use more of, so I figured "Let's marinade these chops in a greek yogurt + za'atar mixture and then sear them off."

The end result was kind of underwhelming. The marinade was fan loving tastic and really delivered the awesome blend that was the za'atar. But the final lamb chops lacked much of any of it at all, or if it did it was incredibly subtle.

Suggestions for giving that another shot? I am totally game to trying entirely different preparations if it means really brings the aroma and flavor of the za'atar up front in the end.

Za'atar is all dried herbs, which is fine when you're rubbing it on pita with some oil, but in a marinade, unless you reapply the za'atar (which is what I would recommend) very little of it is on the meat, so little/no za'atar flavor in the final product.
After you pull your protein out of your marinade, roll each piece in za'atar, then sauté as normal. Alternatively, mix a liberal amount of za'atar with some panko, toss in a paper bag, add marinated meat, shake to coat, then pan fry or bake to your desired doneness.

8 hours total, flipping and mixing things up every couple hours.

I'll try just applying some extra za'atar at the end of the preparation next time. I'm also curious how a quick sauce made with the za'atar applied at the end might go?

If it's prep time, not overall time, confit them in butter for a couple hours in a low oven, then crack and flatten them with a fork before browning them in their own butter in a saute pan.

If it's overall time, boil them instead of confit them brown them the same way
