You're probably right, my only real experience with prepackaged ramen has been the kind you can get 5 for a dollar. I don't think they carry those brands you listed where I live :shobon:

To be fair, sesame oil + vinegar is not high on my list of "things to taste."

That may work alright for an "Asian style" salad. Throw some chicken, orange, and greens in a bowl and try it out. It should work alright as long as the sesame oil has been diluted enough.

My favorite Asian dressing (wafuu) actually uses sesame instead of sesame oil. It's just oil, soy sauce, vinegar, mirin, sesame seeds, maybe some onion.

I would do the "throw poo poo in with ramen" thing more often but the sodium is just bad. I already have high blood pressure and I make it worse with the caffeine I drink, no reason to add sodium to the aggravating factors. I do throw in Nori Komi Furikake.

Hey GWS, I don't do much baking. But my friend, who has wicked headaches, gets even wickeder headaches when she eats sugar, so I decided to whip up a batch of ginger cookies for her, with the sweet ingredients (sugar and molasses) replaced by sweeteners.

They were good! Actually tasty, though obviously a little different from the usual flavour. One key problem: I replaced the molasses with brown sugar sucrella. This removal of liquid made the cookies super dry (it was actually kind of interesting - they crumbled in your mouth, but when started chewing, they turned almost creamy).

So, is there something I can add to this that will either leave the flavour unaffected or make it better? More butter, some cream, something like that?

Remember, these aren't supposed to be 'healthy' cookies or anything like that, she just can't eat sugar.

So odd questions, but for you folks who work a desk job, what do you do for lunch? I got a bunch of decent ramen bricks and ate them but the sodium kills me and they're not very filling. Today I brought in one of my containers of slow cooked chicken, heated it up with some frozen vegetables I keep here and threw it on instant rice and threw some ginger sesame seasoning on top and it's pretty good. However, I'm weird and can't eat the same thing days in a row.

Just trying to eat a bit more healthy while saving money.

Thermos style bento boxes are great for avoiding stinking out your office by microwaving your leftovers. Also, cheap and delicious are Vietnamese sandwiches if you have one near you. Lunch for me for a long time was a $3 BBQ pork sandwich with misc leftovers from the night before.

Here's the recipe for anyone else that was confused as hell about this post:

quote:

What You Need:
4 cups of water
6 to 10 cloves of garlic, crushed (I used minced garlic instead and used 2 Tbsp)
1 bay leaf (didn't have, so I added some oregano instead)
salt & pepper to taste
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 thick slices of French or Italian bread, stale (I used a baguette and did three small slices per bowl)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
fresh parsley for garnish (I skipped it)

How it's Done:
Bring to a boil the water with the garlic, salt, pepper, and bay leaf (or oregano). Reduce heat, cover partially and simmer 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Toast bread in it. It's quick, maybe a minute total cooking time.
Put the bread in each of four bowls. Sprinkle with the cheese.
Bittman says to strain your broth here. I didn't strain mine. It's up to you.
Ladle one cup of broth over each bowl. Serve immediately.

It's basically cheezy garlic bread soup I guess?

Ummm, I guess the recipe calls for lightly crushed garlic instead of chopped? So smash each clove with the side of your knife once and throw it in

(1) This seems like a more terrible idea than bagel broth. (2) Subbing bay leaf with oregano is like pooping on the floor and then rolling around in it. Bad dog.

They are copyrighted but using a segment of a post for discussion like this is almost certainly fair use.

You're straining it at the end so you don't really need to worry about having huge garlic chunks or anything, i'd just crush it with the side of a chef's knife or a pan or something.

That's a pretty weird recipe, but I could see it being good though. It would probably be even way better with good stock instead of water.

I missed the strain part when making it i guess. Thats what i could not figure out if it was gonna be served with allt those garlic chuncks or not.

Tonight I was reading Ratio and on a lark, I decided to make cookies where I used sesame seed oil instead of butter. I basically ended up mixing together the oil, the sugar, some flour, a splash of water, a banana, a hell of a lot of honey, and an egg. They came out tasting… weird. A bit salty, but with an eventual sweet aftertaste. I got the texture about right (at least fresh out of the oven, which they just exited a few minutes ago), but the sesame seed oil really creates this distracting incongruity between smell and taste. The balance is really wonky between the three "main" flavors.

Anyway… Can I make this recipe work by balancing it out more? The book didn't get into using plant oils for the fat component, so should I give up on trying? I mean, if I got the texture right, then I don't see a problem with it, but I also haven't done this a lot, either.

I guess my main question is… Can I make cookies with plant oils for my fat component?


I make cookies with the following ingredients:

1 cup peanut butter
1 egg
1 cup sugar or Splenda

Beat eggs, mix all ingredients, and bake at 350 for seven minutes.


I'm pretty sure sesame paste could be incorporated, or maybe even replace the peanut butter entirely.

I've got some Italian sausage links and sliced Portabella mushrooms that are about to go bad and I was wondering if you fine goons have any ideas for recipes? Thanks in advance.

dude...

Onion, green bell peppers, some celery all fried up in butter in a pan. Chunk up some garlic then throw it on top of this nice base. Toss in the mushrooms and get them good and cooking. Put the sausage links on top of all this fine hot mess so they get a little browning and start to cook. Mix it all up then add a cup or so of red wine and cook down for a little bit. Throw in some red pepper flakes and salt and pepper. Add a couple cans of stewed tomatoes or one can of stewed and a can of tomato sauce.

Heat to a boil, turn down to a simmer and walk away for an hour or two. Come back to fuckoff brilliant sauce to pour over whatever pasta you have around PLUS bigass sausages to guzzle. Oh hell yes.

Have you tried going into your local Koreatown area? I know when my friend lived in Osaka he bought his pork there. Unfortunately they probably wouldn't have Italian parsley, and I have no idea how Korean parsley (minari) compares flavor-wise.

If i could would i need to make any changes to the recipe because of that and what would be a reasonable substitution ratio for the 100ml suggested in the recipe?
