What's the purpose of this thread?!?

It should be changed to something like; "I'll make food and rub on the face of those starving YWers who don't know how to cook"

I'm happy with my instant ramen noodles for dinner, thanks

i need to learn to cook fish like that. but i might be too lazy to gut/de-scale the fish.



anyway, tonight i'll probably just grill up some bulgogi, unless i get a chance to go buy some ginger, in which case i want to try cooking my father's chicken dish again.

[Emperor_Mike]

Not sure yet. I'm dying to try out my new kitchen so I'm probably going to forego dining out. Maybe I'll Google up a chicken recipe when I'm on my lunch break.

I have some good pictures of the whole thing. Now I need to find some temp web space to host them so I can format them for use in a thread. I tried using attachments but it doesn't read as nicely.

I am *really* high from pain meds today so if I'm making even less sense than usual be lenient. :smile:

.........................can I be your dinner guest tonight?

:biggrin:

[kimpossible]

Tonight's entree will feature mi fun with shiang gu/shiitake, sha mi (preserved shrimp) and shredded pork. Gonna throw in a bit of sa tsa (bbq sauce) too.

About $2.00 for the pork and let's call it another $2.00 for the rest of the ingredients. Should make about 5 servings. 80 cents per serving plus veggie. That's not too bad.

[so_fee_ahh]

Pop tarts...pb & j...umm...whatever else I can "make"...I'm not allowed near the microwave anymore. Today was one of five fires (stupid fucking cheeseburger in Wendy's foil!!!!!) I've started in my lifetime.

I'lll never find me a man who will want me...that's what my ma once said cuz of my lack of cooking skills. :frown: It'll just be me and Burrito Joynt take-outs the rest of my life...

[bigwong235]

you should just find a chef! then you'll be set!

i'll probably be making either some marinated short ribs w/dao miu (pea sprouts) and rice, or just eating some leftover curry from last night.

[kimpossible]

w/dao miu (pea sprouts)

oh damn but those are some tasty little greens. *drool* what are you going to do with the short ribs? don't leave any detail out.

this thread should be renamed Food Porn.

i just marinated the short ribs in some soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, salt and pepper. broiled four minutes one one side, three minutes on the other. they're not that messy either, cause i got the ones w/out bones! :smile:

i didn't end up making the dao miu and just had some kimchi instead. i'm planning on just chopping up a buttload of garlic and giving them a quick stir-fry in the wok w/some oil and salt. are there any other ways to prepare it?

[Kuchana]

I made the same dish as mentioned before but with salmon. It was quite tasty I might add:)

Speaking of which, has anyone tried the Magic Bullet as advertised on t.v.? My hubby got me one for him and myself but I haven't tried it yet. I'm going to though since it states it takes 10 seconds to cook things. You can't beat that!:)

you know, it's really not that difficult. no aluminum foils or metals in the microwave, and make sure whatever you put in there has room to breath.

rice cracker once put her lunch box in the microwave at work without opening the lid first, and the air inside the lunchbox got sucked out and she couldn't open the lid because it was air-tight. i had to pry it open with a knife.

you should just find a chef! then you'll be set!

i haven't been able to find dao miu in any of the Asian supermarkets here in DC. :frown:

i almost make mine the same way except i add shredded bai tsai (not sure what this is called in english, i guess chinese cabbage?) and shredded carrots and i don't use sa tsa and the sha mi (i don't like those little fuckers).

the reason i use bai tsai and carrots isn't just for nutritional value. it also serves to soak up the oil. tsao mi fun is a simple dish. but, it's a difficult dish to make really well. a good tsao mi fun is typically "dry." that's what my mom and grandma told me.

[SunWuKong]

they call it in English what they call it in Cantonese - bak choi. :smile:

*tears* No! It's beautiful, just beautiful.

he might be talking about napa cabbage. i know bak choi is only the way to say bai tsai in cantonese but if you go into your run of the mill grocery store like a safeway, bok choi will be something different than napa cabbage.

[moJo]

I'lll never find me a man who will want me...that's what my ma once said cuz of my lack of cooking skills. :frown:
that's what my mama said about me too. i've only cooked once in the last year (not counting sandwiches and heating up my mom's leftovers or tv dinners). it was about two weeks ago. and it was sorta cheating cuz i used a jar of pasta sauce and pre-cooked meatballs for my pasta. and my vegetable soup consisted of frozen veggies and Campbell's tomato soup. i added cumin as my own personal touch, though.

[kimpossible]

I have to stop trolling this thread when I'm hungry.

[Emperor_Mike]

Grilled chicken breasts in what I hope will be a nicely cooked rosemary red wine glaze with morels. If it turns out badly, then I'll just use Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup as a sauce. This cooking thing is tricky.

[rice cracker]

Mackerel, pan fried with a little extra sesame oil for flavoring, salt, a little soy sauce (may not need the salt, we'll see) and sesame seeds for crunchy. With rice. I'm taking pictures.

It's time to embrace mackereality.

[Deadpool]

Pop tarts...pb & j...umm...whatever else I can "make"...I'm not allowed near the microwave anymore. Today was one of five fires (stupid fucking cheeseburger in Wendy's foil!!!!!) I've started in my lifetime.



ROFL Sorry. I shouldn't be laughing but the fact that you managed to ruin a fastfood cheesburger is quite amusing to me. Reminds me of that episode of the Simpsons where Homer tries to cook for Mr. Burns and everything he tried to make manages to catch on fire.

[so_fee_ahh]

Deeelicious lamb kabob with brown rice...salad and this appetizing bread.

*enticing aroma fills air*















*quickly hides the takeout boxes behind sofa* :redface:



Deadpool, it's not really that funny...I'm a safety hazard when it comes to the microwaves. I'm not allowed near it anymore...which sucks cuz then I'm just stuck with PopTarts or cereal all day long. And um...gee...thanks? I've never been told that I reminded anyone of Homer Simpson...(maybe it's the bald thing! But I swear, I just had my hair transplant 2 years ago...could it all really be gone that quick? Sheesh, hair...they come and they grow...er...go.)

Tee hee. I meant you were like Homer Simpson in a slapstick action way not in a physical way......well you are slightly yellow. :biggrin:

[Adaon]

roasted garlic and rosemary smashed potatoes (lumps galore!), minestrone (scratch baby, eggplant, zuchini, kidney beans, carrots, tomatoes, onions, beef stock, and elbow pasta), broiled ribs, Eggplan casserole (dun even GET me started with this one....oye, one MAJOR headache doin' this one) and pumpkin cookies. I think that's my cookin' karma for the month, the rest of my fellowship can cook for the rest of the month, hahaha. >_<

[SunWuKong]

that's disgusting. i would rather drive a little farther for Wendy's.

[mrazntre]

Bah! that's even worse. I'd rather drive even further for Sophy's.

[bigwong235]

we had rice, porkchops w/caramelized apples, and dao miu. :D

[moJo]

i made lobster-flavored noodles (well you know, the packaged noodles, but hey at least it wasn't cup noodles) with frozen veggies, frozen meatballs, and canned eel. it was yummy. really! i would cook (yes, I used the term "cook" loosely) more often if i didn't have to bother with washing the pots and pans and cleaning up, afterwards.

[yoMAMA]

I'm going to a chinese restraunt tonight......mandarin kitchen to be exact.

wait....but i'm not cooking it myself......

:redface:

[nonamerasian]

Souse and veggies.

No one burned the hair off the pig.

Icky, icky, icky.

[nittaku]

you never eat at taco bell? i do every great once in a while. i like the nachos bell grande.

[s1eve]

i eat mexican everytime i visit the US. taco bell and that restaurant chain in sf, can't remember what its called. you just can't get good mexican where i live.

[SunWuKong]

i stopped going years ago after i went one time and the dude went to prepare my food without washing his hands after handling my money.

i don't really like mexican food, but there are much better (but more expensive) Mexican places around here like Chipotle. (or is that really Mexican?)

i eat mexican everytime i visit the US. taco bell and that restaurant chain in sf, can't remember what its called. you just can't get good mexican where i live.

man, don't go to Taco Bell. go to real Mexican restaurants, especially if you're going to be in California.

anyway. tonight i made kalbi, but this time i put coke instead of water in the Korean grill. it tasted good. :smile:

[yoMAMA]

Chipotle is good, but it's not that "mexican"....more Amexican.........

;)

but taco hell is....well...taco hell......:P

[fossilfuel]

Taco Bell barely counts as food I think. I still like those mexican pizza things though. It's also better than Del Taco, which is the dregs of fast food.

My favorite So Cal Mexican fast food is King Taco. Any place with beef brain and tongue on the menu is tops. Really though, it's awesome.

Today I had 2 boiled eggs for dinner. I actually looked up directions online and it's more than boiling them. The best way is to "coddle" the eggs. Cover the eggs with water (about 1 inch above them). Bring the water to a boil and then take it off the heat, let the eggs sit for about 15 minutes. This way, the eggs whites don't turn into super tough plasticy stuff, they remain tender and the egg is nicely cooked.

To top things off I had a bag of chips and a lemon candy I found in a pair of old jeans.

If I can teach myself to live off paint chips those roaches are gonna have some competition after WWIII.

Here's to fajitas, mojitos and cerveza!!

Guacamole galore with fresh salsa and chips out of the wazoo.

I think I'll spend the next wk poppin' some aspirin for my low alcoholic tolerance I'm blowing out of the water this wkend. LOL

[bigwong235]

If you add a little bit of vinegar to the water, the eggs will peel much easier. It won't affect the flavor of the egg either.

Stewed chopped tomatoes in olive oil and chicken stock with oven roasted garlic, diced zuchini, on top of sauteed italian sausage, with some thyme, rosemary, organo, marjoram, salt and pepper to taste.

(I started on the sauce last night, will finish it up this afternoon. Takes forever to get the tomatoes to the consistency I want)

Homemade meatballs - Ground pork, ground beef, eggs, bread crumbs, some herbs/spices from previously listed (gave give THIS one away, lol, grandma's recipe)

Barilla Pasta - Rigatoni

Baked Ciabatta dipping bread with olive oil/vinegar/garlic

[Adaon]

^that sounds really really good

this summer i will finally have time to develop my own sauce....hopefully.

My friends cleaned up the pot to the point where I didn't even have to scrub the sauce pot on Friday.

Then my housemates' boyfriends came over and finished the leftovers.

And I had purposely made extra to try and have another meal too. =(

Friggen greedy peoples. >_< I'm gonna go home tonight and finish the wine and tiramisu.

[eos]

^ohhhh....how did it go??? was the target impressed???

[Adaon]

She wants to head out to the beach for a day trip this weekend, weather permitting, otherwise we're headed to a theme-park.

I'm thinking so far so good!!

She ate more than she usually does when we go out, stating something about being hungry.

[eos]

*winks* good job!!!!

[VV o n g B a]

we made 6 racks of ribs this weekend. ovenbaked (w/ help from alton brown) but the twist is that we smothered it w/ chasiu sauce. they were ridiculously good. it was so good in fact that i'm willing to go buy a rack or 2 and try to make it all by myself. and i NEVER cook anything more involved than scrambled eggs. ever. okay, maybe once about 5 years ago w/ some chicken fried rice, but that didn't end well.

had it w/ bbq chicken, grilled sausage, mushrooms, and onions. in destin, next to the beach w/ champagne and beer. i haven't had a meal that satisfying in years.

[Adaon]

udon, dumplings, miso soup, and spinach.

I'm all cooked out since friday.

[Adaon]

Stir-fried bell peppers and black bean sauce chicken, with stirfried udon, and a salad with creamy italian dressing. Fruit for dessert if I feel like it, Ice cream bar if I'm lazy.

[TB4000]

Grilling some burgers.

[bigwong235]

Crispy-But-Not-Oily Taucu Meat... again :rolleyes: / :eek: / :frown:

Here's how it's prepared:

First steam the meat. Put lightly marinated and sliced meat in a bowl into a rice cooker and steam it until the meat is cooked. You can do this many hours before you actually want to eat it. The main ingredients of the marinate are: A little bit of soy sauce (just enough to hold or wet the other seasonings), a lot of pepper (you don't ever need to skim on pepper for marinade purpose), ginger (to remove the meat smell; wine or liquor can also do this but ginger is cheaper), a few drops of sesame oil, and a little bit of corn starch (to improve meat texture).

Prior to eating, put a little bit of oil in a pan and pour the bowl of slightly watery steamed meat into the pan and stew it. The purpose is to clear the wetness and get a crispy surface. The fire must be very small because this is how you get the crispiness. Stewing time is about 20 minutes.

Now the taucu part (I think it is called taucu but I am not 100% sure). It is fermented black beans. It is salty in addition to having a unique flavor. Until now the flavor of the meat is so-so, rather bland. But taucu gives it a good flavor. But taucu is black and you can't differentiate it from carbon. So be very careful not the burn the meat while you are stewing it otherwise you will wonder whether the black stuff is carbon or taucu. Ok, put in a small amount of taucu for flavor while you are stewing the meat. When the watery meat is about to dry the dish is done.

[Adaon]

^-- Sounds good. What sort of meat should be used? Ground pork/beef/chicken? Does/should the meat be ground?

[NextNoName]

^-- Sounds good. What sort of meat should be used? Ground pork/beef/chicken? Does/should the meat be ground?

It doesn't matter, pork, beef, chicken all work. Ground or no ground. :smile: The steaming will cook the meat through whatever it is. The texture will be different depending and that adds some variety.
