AN ACTUAL COOKING THREAD

careful with the wasabi man, that stuff is spicy

 

[Ellestin]

Restaurant wasabi is generally quite mild, but I bought a tube of genuine Japanese stuff at an Asian grocer's and holy fucking crap did that shit blow up my sinuses!

Looking real good Opeth

Yeah, this stuff is straight burn. Kind of nice, but I'd like some nuance. To get your tongue on the same level you gotta dip the sushi in this after you apply the wasabi and soy sauce:

I bought a slow cooker about 10 years ago, never used it and gave it away. I bought another one about 6 months ago, used it once and probably never again. I wonder when I'll buy my third one and not use that.

I've had the same experience with My Dying Bride's Like Gods of the Sun

Dutch Oven > Slow Cooker

Got rid of mine once I made the move to this game changer.

 

[spikes77]

Agreed. Dutch oven + cast iron skillet, all you need.

Some of my go to 'around the world' dishes --

lamb tagine (with belgian dubbel)
mole negro (non gringo version that takes hours)
chicken tikka masala
greek moussaka (usually with beef )
korean short ribs
lamb mafe (from senegal)

And assorted dishes that connect me to my goomba ancestry

Hungarian gulasch in progress as we speak

I finally bought this ultra fancy cast iron pot i've been dreaming about and now i'm on fire

 

[Reign in Acai]

I Fooqin adore cast iron. Though I'm a snoot, and opt for that lovely enameled variety to make clean up a wee bit easier. Same heat conduction of daath, without having to whip out the ringer for a twenty minute scrub.

May cook up some pork chops this weekend. Going to flour these beauts, as a chop isnt a chop without a coat.

how do you like your popcorn?

I usually mix sweet with salty. How do you make it at home? I don't have a special device nor a microwave so i just cook it in a frying pan

 

[Doom]

Definitely sweet/salty mix. Either on their own is too much.

 

[einride]

i do normal-ass popcorn in a normal pot with a lid and just salt. maybe butter. sometimes this weird american cheese popcorn seasoning.

used to always be a microwave popcorn guy but making it in a pot ye olde fashioned way is just about as easy and yields better results so

 

[spikes77]

Some mapo tofu from the other day-

It's a meat croissant.

Whipped out some breaded pork chops tonight. Didnt have any bread crumbs, so I substituted some Sabritas Chicharrons.

 

[SonOfNun]

Made sushi with fresh fish this time (sashimi). Just a simple tuna jalapeno roll.

I enjoy cooking in my cast iron pan but, man, that shit is a pita to clean.
