That's the most Chinese food ever and it's strange that it's not in more Chinese restaurants. I guess it's considered more home cooking.

I'm upset that it's not more common, I'd never even heard of it before that video came up on YT, but given how simple it is that is not going to stop me from making it my breakfast every day from now until roni death. It's so tasty.

Trip report: Restaurant Depot is open to the public now since the restaurant industry is collapsing.

https://imgur.com/a/YXSXpDY

Open 7am to 3pm, they require non-members to sign in. They are very empty since I guess most of the public hasn’t caught on yet or doesn’t want LOL huge portions.

No returns because of coronaparanoia. I accidentally bought 20 pounds of orecchiette thinking it was elbow macaroni. Oh well!

No booze sales to the public, which is unfortunate because I was curious about the bottom shelf Bar Code Brand garbage they had

A few things have regular human portions, like chocolate syrup, oats, etc but most of it’s like 6 pound cans of fruits and veggies, 20 pound bags of beans and 50 pound bags of rice or onions or potatoes

Plenty of jugs of cleaning supplies, but no Clorox wipes, no Lysol can sprays and no yeast
This looks like heaven! I wish I still lived in the US. What are the prices like? What does 50 lbs of shortening run you?

I love Pinto's Mmmm Good. Pinto's picked and cleaned then fill the crock pot with water and let cook until tender. Red New Mexico chile powder or fresh if you have it salt garlic and some sort of fat like bacon or oil to take the edge/bitter off of the Chile. If you like throw a little browned hamburger into the soupy mess. Church potlucks always had 3 to 5 types of Chile Beans which is not the same as Chili. This might be an extreme south western New Mexican dish that we enjoyed near the NM panhandle. I will poke some good hearted fun at you eastern New Mexicans who embrace that filth called TexMex. Hah too each there own. I am not wanting to start a bean war!

The Colorado Anasazi beans are pretty good though. I like them with fresh green chile pods.

What time is it? It's pretzely sausage roll time! I thought we were going to use the frozen sausage in stews and beans but instead, my wife did this recipe from the great British bake off book. We don't eat a lot of bread so it's kind of a special treat and I'm glad I stocked up on flour and yeast (thanks to early advice in this thread thanks again!)

Pro roni recipe. Biriani. Sweat some aromatics garlic, onion, goon scrotum. What ever you have it works. Now that poo poo has had a chance to breathe put in your spices. Cumin, turmeric, cardamom, coriander. If you have whole poo poo you know how to deal with it, if you don't just put in a ratio of 1:1:.02:2 as listed above. I don't know how big your batch is so actual measurements are hard. Don't go crazy but don't skimp out either.

After the spices have had a chance add what ever protein you fancy, just make sure it's small. Diced small, minced, your penis. Mince is a really good choice here. If you don't have mince or don't like minced things then just make it equivalent.

Mostly cook your protein.

Add a bunch of rice and enough stock / water to cook that rice + maybe a bit more.

Let it sit like you're just cooking that rice.

Congratulations you have biriani / pilaf / tasty loving rice. Not sure what they call it where you're from but that's it.

This is obviously not a real recipe and what you can get and what you like is very much up to you. At the same time this is an easy dish to make and you will enjoy it.

I have a bunch of dry pasta. I usually prefer pesto to red sauce and am tired of them both. Any other saucing suggestions? Cooking with a pescatarian so ragus might be off the table, and I don't do milk/cream (cheez is OK).

Planning to try romesco but would like for other unconventional ideas.

Cacio e Pepe

I'm a huge fan of puttanesca too but that is red sauce.

It's a hard world for little things.
Cacio e pepe is cool, but does anyone know why it's suddenly having a moment? Not trying to question it as a choice or anything, just honestly curious why it's suddenly something everyone's making.

Anyway, another you-always-have-the-stuff pasta approach everyone should know is aglio e olio, which (as the name implies) is garlic (sliced or minced, and usually cooked until fragrant) and olive oil. Crushed red pepper is the most common embellishment.

Al burro is the (simpler) ancestor to alfredo sauces, consisting of cheese (typically parm) and butter. In the simplest form in equal quantities (by weight), by adding the grated cheese to the pasta with a bit of pasta water, tossing until the cheese is mostly melted, and then tossing with the butter until smooth. This classic version was embellished by first doubling the butter, then tripling it, producing the first dish known as fettuccine alfredo. Alfredo sauces with cream, thickeners, and so on all came later.

Carbonara is a goon favourite: fry some cured pork, cook some spaghetti, grate some hard cheese. When the pasta is done, throw it in the pan with the fried pork, add the cheese, crack an egg over the entire mess and toss to combine. A lot of verbiage has been devoted to which pork and cheese are the most ritualistically pure, but anything you have on hand will both work, be good, and and have as much historical precedent as more upscale versions.

One of the purity arguments involving carbonara involves the inclusion of peas. Without delving into that mess, it is worth noting that there are a whole shitload of pasta with peas recipes that are loving delicious and work perfectly with frozen peas. The basic pasta e piselli---pasta + peas + garlic + parm is good. The super traditional version involves cooking the pasta and peas together in chicken stock, using very little stock so that the pasta is ready when the stock is absorbed/evaporated and the pot is dry. This is a little finicky and I don't find the result to be worth the extra effort, but I'll throw it out there anyway. Cured pork is a common addition to pasta e piselli, and is great even if you run the risk of getting a lecture on carbonara when you make it.

Lost my train of thought. The request was for nonmeat recipes, and I was going to describe carbonara and then point out that you can do basically the same thing without the pork, just adding some other fat to get the same texture/consistency. Butter is a common choice for this, which basically gives you al burro + egg.

SubG
Aug 19, 2004

I can't believe I just thought of the perfect answer for the thread: pasta e fagioli. Pasta and beans. Like pasta e piselli it's usually made with broth, and sometimes served as a soup-like thing instead of what in the US we think of as a `pasta dish' or whatever. But it's one of those things that's so basic that you can find a version of it everywhere and they're all different.

It is worth pointing out that, in Italian fashion, you add peas because you have peas. This is true for any vegetable - I had some really good zucchini flower carbonara once because of this highly praise-able philosophy.

No idea why it's all the rage but I avoided saying al burro because my post just before that already used it as an idea.

If you want non-meat non-vegetarian go Mushroom carbonara. It gives you the texture bits you get from the pork and adds umami to your butter/oil.

If you get more technical on your "non-meat" make seafood pasta: canned sardines, tomatoes and fennel go wonderful together.

Yuuup. Also don't hesitate to toast up any kind of nuts or throw a couple olives in there etc. We've been making pesto a couple times this month from greens on their way out.

Ours the other night was toasted pecans, olive oil, mustard greens, arugula and a little bit of parmesan. Came out awesome.

Garlic mustard is super invasive in much of the US, you're doing the environment a favor if you pull as much as you can from wild forests, AND it makes a decent pesto.

You can try a vegan cheese sauce which can be a nice change of pace. It's generally some cooked sweet potato, carrots, and nutritional yeast in a blender. But it turns the dish into a carb bomb.
