Golden Boy is my fish sauce of choice. Pure anchovy, no filler or preservatives, with a little sugar to balance it out. e: also seeing that fat baby giving me a thumbs up just melts my heart

Lately I’ve been finding the LKK brand of black bean sauce too salty. Is there a better brand (I have access to an excess of Asian markets) or am I better off making my own?

yeah +1 for just using actual black beans. they keep indefinitely, and you generally rinse them so they aren't super salty. I'll grab a handful and mince them up for black-bean stirfrys or steamed dishes. black beans and broccoli is my weeknight sidedish jammm. done in under 5-10 minutes from start to finish, all prep included. mindphlux fucked around with this message at 06:00 on Jul 6, 2018 |

Weirdly, the only time I've eaten black bean sauce was on chicken feet. And hot drat was that delicious. Mindphlux, could you post your black bean sauce broccoli recipe? I think that would be a splendid way to get the family started on eating it.

I'm posting this in a few threads so I can get as many ideas as possible. I want to bake bread that's shaped like a cruise ship. What's my best bet for making an oven safe, food safe mold? It doesn't have to be super intricate or detailed, but I want the basic shape, at least.

Boat shaped crackers with cheese or a dip might be a nice addition to the main offering, though - great idea!

Mold-wise you're looking for food grade silicone for pretty much anything, but I'm not sure how you'd get cruise ship shaped bread out of it.

I think that would be a splendid way to get the family started on eating it. I don't really have a recipe, esp for weeknight stuff. I just cook a thing and season it. roughly, preheat a wok as hot as you can get it, toss a tablespoon or two of oil in, broccoli in, splash it with water or cooking wine or mirin or something, toss some salt and pepper in, a handful of black beans, some garlic maybe, and snap a cover on. wait 3-5 minutes and let it steam. uncover, and stir fry until it's the crispness you like broccoli. lots of tossing makes sure everything gets seasoned. some people really like mushy broccoli, and some people like crisp. I'm somewhere in the middle, I try to get it crisp cooked, then uncover and let the oil fry it, so it's both not mushy, and slighly fried/charred on the outside.

Honestly I put scraps and larger chopped veggies straight on the counter. I paid for the whole counter, I'm going to use it. I wash it after each use anyhow, so A) I know it's clean and B) I don't have to anguish over spilling a bit, since I know I was going to wash it anyhow. #nomessyshaming

If you have that much counter space and don’t have a system already, you don’t deserve that counter space.

Today in random regional foodways: I found out about Ohio's shredded chicken sandwiches. Simplest recipe seems to be boil chicken, shred, add back some stock and thicken with flour, serve on a bun. But now popular recipes appear to be canned chicken, cream of chicken soup, and crushed Ritz crackers, all heated and on a bun. It's apparently served at mom and pop restaurants and popular at events and potlucks. huh.

I'm so glad my dumbass can prep more efficiently on the 3 feet of counterspace in my apartment than anyone who buys that overpriced shitheap. Thanks fake edit: I still can be a little messy though but I'm still a single, baby cook in a college apartment so what are you gonna do

I feel like it's one of those dishes that got insanely hyped when the food TV shows Columbused it. It's not mind blowing in any way but it's subtly a really, really, really good dish.
