I moved into a new house with new people.



A Chinese guy, Taiwanese girl and a Canadian Korean dude. And then me the fat Aussie white dude. I am now a minority and loving it.

My contribution is the broth on the left; made a chicken and pork broth from scratch (chicken wings, pork neck bones, onion, celery, carrot, peppercorns).

Sounds like a great situation you've found yourself in. I can get down with any table setting that includes shot glasses.

Please lay on me your mapo tofu recipes. I make pretty much exclusively American/French food at home and would love to start incorporating Chinese and Indian stuff. Similarly if anyone could recommend me an Indian recipe that is delicious and doesn't require a pressure cooker I would be very grateful.

Corn, mayo, spicy shin ramyun powder, cool ranch doritos, furikake on a chopstick with a honey sriacha buffalo drenched chicken cutlet

History will absolve me.




I feel like if you introduced a South Korean to elotes they would freak the gently caress out. Kind of a weird accidental confluence of Mexican and Korean tastes (corn+mayo, namely).

So the only reason people are trying to make salmon meuniere is Breath of the Wild, right? Salmon seems like a really bad choice of fish to pan-fry. Sole and skate are the classic fish to use for a reason -- uniform thickness and texture, less-dense meat. Hell, use tilapia or catfish.

Next time you make tacos, try toasting your tortillas. Heat up a dry nonstick pan to medium heat and toast them one or two at a time til black spots just start to form. Much better texture and flavor.

Butternut squash risotto, chicken thigh, pomegranate, feta, fried sage. Not photographed super well but I just spent all day making the chicken stock that went into this and it’s probably one of the most delicious things I’ve ever made.

I’ve been really influenced lately by the way they cook at the restaurant I work at. Lots of local, seasonal vegetables, and an ethos of using every part of the buffalo, so to speak. So I made spaghetti with rainbow carrots and easter egg radishes, crispy king trumpet mushrooms, and a pesto of carrot tops, radish greens and walnuts.

I didn't think I liked them for most of my life either! Turns out the small, sweet ones that are in season right now (if you're in the northern hemisphere) are a whole other thing. Saute with garlic and lots of butter, deglaze with white wine.

They're so loving easy.

3 tablespoons white miso paste
3 cloves garlic, either minced or grated if you can find your microplane which I couldn't
2.5 tablespoons lime juice (which was what I got outta 1.5 limes, but next time I'm gunna drop down to 2 tablespoons)
A bit over 1 tablespoon honey

Whisk that together in a bowl, leave sit.

Blister a pound of green beans in a bit of neutral oil for 10 minutes, then once done, turn off the heat and pour the miso sauce straight into the pan, along with a pinch of red pepper flakes and some salt and pepper. Toss to combine, then cut up about a third of a cup of cilantro or however much you wind up grabbing when you go to tear "some" cilantro out of the bunch, and toss that through.

They're far too delicious for the amount of effort it takes.

I made a double batch of this for a dinner party tonight and I cannot thank you enough. I used Thai basil instead of cilantro since I had that on hand. So delicious.

Mexican chorizo, white rice, red beans, salsa verde.

First time cooking dry beans! Simmered them with the white parts of the scallions, half an onion, a quartered carrot, and a bunch of thyme and oregano. Came out hella flavorful.

For the salsa I charred six tomatillos, half an onion, a serrano pepper and six cloves of garlic, then threw it all in the blender with salt, a little oil and the juice of half a lime. Perfect the first time, which honestly shocked me. Didn’t even need a pinch of salt. I feel like I’m getting better at this.

Yesterday I walked to the little farm by my house for their first weekly farmstand of the season and got a big bag of swiss chard, garlic scapes, radishes, carrots and arugula. Last night I made pan-roasted chicken breasts over polenta with creamed swiss chard and garlic scape and carrot top pesto, which I do not have photos of. But tonight I made a stir-fry with some chashu-style pork loin I had sitting around, plus the carrots, radishes and arugula, along with some of an old red onion, ginger, and some garlic that was honestly sprouting pretty aggressively. Wouldn’t have thought to include arugula in a stir-fry, it was my fiance’s idea and it came out pretty excellent.

I read somewhere ITT, boiling chicken thighs in Cream of Mushroom soup. Good god if coconut oil is grease then that dish there would be 'the ultimate grease experience.'

My point is that you seem to be putting too much cooking fat in your pan and it's making you nauseous. Fat is fat no matter whether it comes from coconuts or bacon. There shouldn't be an oily translucent slick on top of your food.

I don't have interest in recipes generally. I want to be creative and unique. There are I think general concepts to follow. I heard from a Sikh cook to never use dry spices. So, thus all my spices go in a little oil to release the flavor. I heard of the holy trinity, which is Onions, Carrots, Celery, thus I used the holy trinity for about a year and is my major fallback. So I pick 3 spices, and 3 vegetables with an oil. This is I think a foundation to master before moving on. But, tonight I will try to instead of a stove top to use an oven. I may have been getting sick a few times by over doing the oil and using more than 3 spices.
Also the grocery stores don't stay open 24hours here so they are always closed by the time I'm awake. Unless I go at 6am I just don't get around to it.

So you want to know how to cook but you don't want to learn. Incredible.
