The Food Thread

[JasonE]

One of the better dinners we’ve made in a while. Everything was spot on.

Looks like it could be good. You didn't show the money shot though so I can't really tell. I need the cross section to see how well done it is.

This is a fun read.

One Man’s Quest to Make the Perfect Ramen

At Chicago’s buzziest new restaurant, Mike Satinover is obsessed with one goal: making the consummate bowl of Japanese noodles.

Those were strips and ribeyes. Never above medium rare+.

Meh... those look pretty over done to me...

Make some more tomorrow and I'll be there to judge.

One of my favorite things to make is fried chicken. Louisiana Chicken Fry Mix on boneless skinless chicken thighs is my usual way to go.

My other favorite is fried cod using Louisiana Fish Fry Mix.

I never turn down an excuse to cook steak!

Been on a Japanese Food kick lately. Got me some Boutique Rice.

PTP wired. Old school!

Dabbling in the Furikake Game, too.

Rice is my new jam.

Fried Rice. Coconut Rice.

Yum!

Like a damn fool I now have several different varieties of Rice in the house.

I should have toasted the Nori a little more. Charred/toasted Nori is

Udon Noodles in a Togarashi infused Dashi.

Gonna be well hydrated and absolutely sick of coconuts after this weekend-

We’ve got a ton of palm trees around the campus, while technically I should have these taken down the second they’re bigger than a baseball, I try to let ‘em fatten up a bit so we can enjoy them. We got about 800lbs of coconuts this time around!

The more rum you add the less you will get sick of them. :)

Made tikka masala for dinner. Served it with basmati and makeshift roti, aka flour tortillas.

Didn’t get any pictures because we fucking devoured it.

Slapped this together last night.

Hmmmm…I’ve never thought to stuff a tarantula before…

 

[jaxadam]

Used the leftover crab from the stuffed tarantula to whup up some crab cakes with sauteed spinach and riced cauliflower with some bacon.

Semi quasi-pho the lazy and cheap way.

Chicken, apple, bell pepper, celery, onion, and ginger. Salt and pepper well then bake
at a high temp until the chicken is just cooked. Shred the cooked chicken and then dump
the roasted fruit/veggies in a pot of seasoned chicken stock - simmer for a couple hours,
drain, then toss in some chopped cilantro.

DO NOT add the shredded chicken to the simmering broth, it'll get overcooked!

Cook the pasta Al Dente then immediately rinse under cold water so it don't mush.

Steaming broth along with chicken and noodles and your favorite trimmings.

It lacks the crazy depth of the real stuff but it's really good and close enough
if you're on the cheap. Use to make this a lot when my son lived at home.
