One thing I've found is curry bricks make a LOT of roux. Like, triple what the box asks for (except the water) and you'll be set for a couple days.

really? It's way thin if you put more water than it asks for. It's supposed to be hilariously goopy and thick.

Except the water. I usually drain off any liquids and use that towards however much it calls for, but add in a ton more ingredients because I eat it for a couple days after.

Can you do anything with natto besides eat it over rice and natto jiru? Now that I'm over the smell/texture I'm interested in cooking with it, but those are the only ways I've seen it used.

When I soak rice do I add the usual amount of water I would, soak, then just turn on the pot? Or do I drain off the soaking water then add X amount again? I'm assuming the former.

I got some short grain rice soaking this morning, but by the time I got home I was too lazy to cook. Can I stick it in the fridge, then make it with fresh water tomorrow?

I stopped using a cooker because I only have one of the cheap ones and I'm not crazy about how it comes out (not that stovetop is all that harder). It's also about making stuff to go around with the rice :effort:

Don't remember if I got it off this thread but I did this baked tonkatsu for dinner. About to move out of my grandparent's place, so I'm cooking more often. I called it "crumbed pork" because I know they'd complain about a weird name

Had no panko or other crumbs so I just put some cornflakes in a plastic bag and beat it with a hammer. Worked well.
Sauce was worcester, tomato sauce and some crazy hot tiny peppers that grow in the yard of my shut-in (dead?) neighbour. They won't mind. Just crushing them and putting them in gave it some punch, not sure if I want to grind them up more next time.
Bought a $14 rice cooker, it works really well for the cost. Not that I've had any before to compare it to.

Looks like dog barf because bad camera + I ate the eye-pleasing green beans in the time it took to whip out my phone

Now I feel less guilty using a box of Oven Fry (basically the same as shake and bake but more crumbs I think?) to do the pork the first time I made tonkatsu.
