Is this a riff on the Serious Eats version?
If so, have you tried both and how's it compare?

it looks very similar! i have not tried the serious eats version but the ingredient list is pretty close

i can definitely say that this version is incredibly tasty

Is there any reason why I shouldn't just use jasmine rice for pretty much every rice dish? It's just so much tastier imo.

i do pretty much this and it's worked out for me, i use jasmine for everything unless a recipe i'm using specifically calls for something else like basmati, or if im making risotto it's arborio

Kenji's pad prik king. I had never made this dish before, and it looked a little too simple. But it ended up tasting amazing. I did add some chili powder to the recipe for some extra kick.

that looks great!!!

a tip for the zucchini: spiralize it then salt the zoodles liberally and leave it on a plate on top of some paper towels for 15-20 minutes while you do your other stuff; when you're ready to cook, give them a gentle squeeze over the sink and a huge volume of that water you're trying to avoid will dump out

i think i'm going to try this next week!

I have a lot to thank GWS for, as my first real foray into cooking all started here in this forum, and it began with probably the most "famous" recipe to come out of here - the fabled goon pulled pork. I've made it countless times over the years and passed it on to both my parents and my wife's parents. My mother in law just made it again over the weekend!

But after having it again after a long pause, I wondered - I've learned a shitload over the last decade+ I've spent here. Surely I can improve this recipe, right?

Right.

To start: big rear end pork shoulder, but instead of throwing the whole chunk of meat into its vessel like an uncultured Cro-Magnon, let's get some more surface area. I chopped it up into chunks, scored the chunks on all sides, liberally applied S&P, seasoned with roasted granulated garlic, paprika, ground mustard, and MSG, and covered with a combination of soy sauce, worcestershire, and fish sauce:



Threw that into a bag along with 6 or 7 smashed garlic cloves and let that sit for about 24 hours, flipping it in the bowl a bunch throughout the day



....

It's now the next morning - time to cook!

This time, I'm ditching the crock pot for the king of maillard: my dutch oven. Extracted the meat from the bag into a bowl and applied a very liberal coating of dark brown sugar on each piece. Preheat the oven to 225F, and while preheating I put the dutch oven on my stove on medium with a thin layer of oil, and in goes the pieces, cooking in batches until everything is browned on at least 2 sides (the sugar almost turns black here and I basically made pork flavored caramel in the process).

While the pieces are cooking I quickly quarter a sweet onion and, after all the meat is seared, everything goes back into the pot along with any excess marinade still left in the bag, a few drops of liquid smoke, a bay leaf, and about a cup of water.



Cooked with the lid on slightly ajar, and taking a page out of Kenji's bolognese recipe, I checked on the pork every hour or so, turning the pieces and scraping the sides of the dutch oven with a wooden spoon to get those lovely browned bits into the liquid. This continued for about 5 hours.



Getting there. For the last hour, I turned the oven up to 250F and removed the lid.



Behold! The fruit of our labor. The crust on the pieces let me get them out of the pot mostly unscathed, but rest assured it took no effort at all to shred.

...

This is where I forget to take a picture of the sauce & finished product because holy gently caress this was so insanely good so here's the bottom of the bowl



The sauce I did in basically the same way I normally would - liquid from the dutch oven into a saucepan, small amount of cornstarch in cold water, along with a few drops of liquid smoke, a squirt of ketchup, and a big spoonful of dijon mustard to try and help stabilize everything. Added some more S&P once reduced enough.

Having been able to taste this version and the original GWS crockpot method basically side-by-side, the difference is extremely obvious: the dutch oven method provides a much deeper, more developed flavor than the crockpot version. I was expecting it to be different, but I wasn't prepared for how different it really was.

I only put the sauce on about half of the pork and elected to keep the other half unsauced for a different use - which turned out great, as I made some shredded pork fried rice last night that was absolutely phenomenal as well



Cooking is fun! Thanks for everything GWS!!

More adventures in pesto: quartered some mushrooms and sweat them in a pan with some garlic until the water is gone, then into a baking dish and tossed in basil-almond pesto, with mozz, parm, turkey pepperoni. into the oven to get all melty

Meanwhile, I toasted a brioche bun with some butter and spread some more pesto on it, and then made a parmesan chip

Put some mushroom mixture on the bun and the chip. Pesto shrooms two ways



Not much to look at but tasty at hell

It’s not really ‘good steak’, it’s its own thing. It’s like the difference between foie gras and beef liver, or lardo and bacon.

It’s super rich. I had Miyazaki A5 and it’s kind of like eating steak flavored butter. It coats your mouth in fat like eating toro.

first time making ghormeh sabzi!

onion, turmeric and pepper, salt and beef bouillon, garlic, fenugreek, dried limes, and a lemon for juicing



parsley and cilantro



had Indian buffet for lunch, stopped at the Indian grocery for a few particulars, then grabbed some lamb from the halal butcher next door. All owned by the same family



a poo poo load of herbs chopped up with 2 bunches of green onions and about 3/4 lb chopped spinach



sauteed onions and garlic with the turmeric and pepper, then the lamb, then in goes the salt and beef bouillon and 4 cups water. simmered for an hour uncovered, then in goes the limes



after another hour, time to saute all the greens. fenugreek in towards the end



fifteen minutes later, beans and greens into the stew



and another hour of simmering



off the heat, limes out, fresh lemon juice in, and time to eat



it was delicious! insanely flavorful, the lamb just melted and the heavy citrus is a great contrast to its gaminess

will definitely make again!

Used my leftover chicken for an experiment tonight

I'm sure I'm not the first person with this idea but it came to me the other night and I had to try it

I give you: Korean birria





Quick Kimchi base + shredded leftover chicken + cilantro lime slaw + gochujang consomme

My red schmaltz wasn't strong enough to really get any color on the tortillas but the flavor was there!
