Roast corn on the cob, slather in mayo, then roll in crushed Takis Fuego, which basically tastes like if flamin hot cheetos and lime tostitos had a baby. Top with cotija cheese and cilantro.
Eat excessively. It's delicious.
Ooh, Oceania! How fun!
If you're like me and suck at geography, here you go--there are 14 countries in Oceania, including Australia, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Fiji, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Samoa, Kiribati, Tonga, Micronesia, Marshall Islands, Palau, Nauru, and Tuvalu.
Sure! So it's a half dome, clear jello base and then using these tools (this is the kit that I used) to make the petal and leaf designs by injecting a colored milk/condensed milk/gelatin mixture inside. A friend of mine got the idea from Great British Baking Show and showed a bunch of us how to do it.
This is a PA Dutch pie. From what I was told, it was traditional to bake this up and put it on one end of the table during outdoor meals to attract all the flies. It's made mostly of Molasses so it's really sweet. Eventually people realized it made a great dessert, and stopped giving it to the flies! Recipe!
https://www.masterclass.com/articles/ottolenghis-confit-garlic-oil#yotam-ottolenghis-confit-garlic-oil-recipe this recipe looks great! Tempted to try it myself.
Not really...sort of just cooked the chicken thighs in a bit of oil/butter in a cast iron until it was crispy skinned and cooked throughout. Added mushrooms about halfway through, along with diced sun-dried tomatoes and fresh tomatoes.
Removed chicken and then added a mix of table cream (https://www.amazon.com/Nestle-Media-Crema-Table-Cream/dp/B0014D18PS) and chicken stock, cornstarch, and a light splash of white wine vinegar. Cooked that until it was all creamy and thickened.
Spices used parsley, Mrs Dash garlic blend, salt, pepper.
Served it over white rice
These are a super flavorful healthy topping for Greek yogurt or cottage cheese. I used the recipe here, subbing splenda for the sugar.
Sure! From: allrecipes.com
1/2 cup soy milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup melted soy margarine
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, blend soy milk, water, 1/4 cup margarine, sugar, syrup, flour, and salt. Cover and chill the mixture for 2 hours.
Lightly grease a 5 to 6 inch skillet with some soy margarine. Heat the skillet until hot. Pour approximately 3 tablespoons batter into the skillet. Swirl to make the batter cover the skillet's bottom. Cook until golden, flip and cook on opposite side.
Forbidden Rice is the cooler sounding term for black rice. It makes a statement on the plate! I tend to do a 1-3 water ratio (used 1.5 cups of water for .5 cup of rice), otherwise it's too firm for my taste. Threw it in the rice cooker with a bit of ginger to complement the mahi mahi and it tasted great!
recipe I have made this recipe several times both with ground chicken and with cut up chicken breasts. I use thai chili sauce instead of chilis since I can't find them. It's incredibly delicious!!
Easy recipe but still amazingly delicious!

Recipe: Best One Pot Cheese and Macaroni
I saw someone posted this to either /r/food or /r/cooking a week or 2 ago and thought it would be good for this theme (recipe here ).
I substituted strawberry jam for the strawberry topping, which worked pretty well. The cream cheese part of the recipe made far too much (about twice as much as I probably needed), but it's was delicious and very sweet.
And filled using this Chinese Cheesecake
If anyone is interested I used this recipe, but added about one tablespoon of sugar and some more mustard and salt to taste. Also used my hand blender instead of a food processor/standing blender.
I am a seasoned home cook but not a baker, so I thought that I would stretch a bit to make this dessert. I followed recipes for the panna cotta and the biscotti, but made the simple mousse and caramel myself. The recipes can be found here and here. The simple mouse I made with vanilla flavored yogurt, pumpkin (jarred by me last fall) sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. The caramel heart is for Valentine's Day!
I beg to differ. That is why items like this are designed.
Granted, better for car camping...
I want to make Morocho (for Ecuadorian week) and need cracked hominy corn to do so, but I can't find any around town (I live in Germany). I'm looking on amazon now but I'm not sure if I found the right thing because it's written on the package in Portuguese. Could someone tell me if this product is the one I need?
If you happen to live in Germany and know where I can get cracked huminy corn or if even possible morocho corn for a reasonable price (and shipping), please let me know :)

That is an amazing creation! Great job!
I wish I could say I made the EVE syringes, but they're the NECA Bioshock 2 EVE Hypo Syringe Prop Replicas. My boyfriend bought one and got one as a gift - both literally 9+ years ago. They used to be $20, but looks like they're going for almost $100 now!
I feel a little like I copped out, using preserves instead of fresh berries, but berries can be awfully expensive when they're not on sale (and you don't have a farmer's market worth going to, dammit.)
Despite that, it's a really good dish. Recipe
The recipe for the sauce since so many are asking for it.
Enjoy!
I know this was done by another Redditor, but I made a Google Doc containing ALL of the suggestions in this thread so far, along with weeks and their corresponding dates.
The document is editable by anyone.
So far, I put each idea in the "Theme/Ingredient" column with no regard to order, how good the idea is, etc. I only removed duplicates.
Check it out here.
EDIT: So far there have been 134 ideas (duplicates removed).
I created a google docs spreadsheet which might be nice?
I also thought about having a wildcard for those who are a little more skilled in the kitchen?
Could we also do (breakfast, lunch, dinner, appetizer, dessert)?
How about user voting on best use of ingredient and/or most visually striking?
I love love love asparagus and eat it grilled all the time. I decided to try something a little different this time and made a pie using this recipe. It was very easy and very tasty. Perfect for spring!
I bent the rules a bit, but the cheesy blaster from 30 Rock was calling me. We didn't quite do it according to spec, but it was darn close video here
We started with the pizza dough from this recipe, and topped it with marinara, shredded mozzarella, and salami. We baked it, then rolled a slice of Kraft american cheese with a hotdog into it. That was then skewered, shallow fried, and served!
The result was somewhere between pigs in a blanket and a hot pocket. But whatever it was, it was delicious: the double cheese created a simultaneously stringy and gooey experience that definitely made the shallow-fry worth it.
To be honest, though, there was very little redeeming about the meal. I should probably watch what I eat for the next few weeks as penance to my body for the monstrosity I made it eat...
This was amazing and very easy as well. Word got out and now I'm cooking for a group every week but that just makes it more fun ;-)

Recipe: Dave's Mocha Chicken
I used this recipe for the hen, although I just used a half a cup of mild blend coffee instead of coffee liqueur since I didn't have any.
The mocha was made with one cup coffee, about a cup of steamed milk, a few tablespoons of chocolate syrup, and a shot of mint flavoring. This was put in the fridge to chill for about 45 minutes then I topped it off with whipped cream and green sprinkles.
been sitting on my camera for a few weeks now and i finally got motivated to get things put up!
i've been hankering for bacon+cheesecake for some time and thought i'd try my hand at it. sadly, i failed miserably, but i'll soon have to try again.
cheesecake: http://www.instructables.com/id/Bacon-Cheesecake/
whiskey sauce, and yes, i used templeton: http://www.templetonrye.com/recipes/templeton-rye-pecan-sauce/
so yeah, things i learned: 1. too much bacon is possible. yeesh 2. make sure you have a big enough pan BEFORE you make what is supposed to go in it 3. should've let the sauce simmer longer, was pretty boozy
Sorry for the poor picture quality - I was in a rush to photograph and get out the door after I finished frosting them and just snapped a quick pic in crappy lighting with my cell phone.
I'm not much of a baker, and I'm really not a creative baker, so this was a fun challenge for me. I used a box mix (for shame, I know) and filled the cupcake papers half full and then squished a marble into each cup to make a dent in the side of the cupcake as suggested in this tutorial. Then I put the frosting on in a heart shape to accentuate and exaggerate the shape of the cupcake.
I did add crushed up oreos to the box mix, as I gave this batch to my boyfriend and he loves oreos.
Pretty sure this means I fail as pancakes don't really count as pan fry...I had (still do) a nice rib eye that I was going to cook up but I just ran out of time...
For those who asked, I used this recipe here: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/good-old-fashioned-pancakes/
I used this recipe. I didn't have an onion, so it went without onion! The stuff on top is bacon ^__^ It turned out quite tasty.
Used this recipe, sans vegetarian meat. This is probably some of the best chili I've ever had. Ended up having to split it into two pots because my biggest wasn't big enough.
It most closely resembles this one. I used ham stock instead of vegetable & chicken stock. I didn't use vegetable juice either. (I didn't even notice until just now that it called for it.) Although I did use a larger can of tomatoes & the juice. I didn't have any chili powder & didn't feel like mixing some up, so I added merken spice instead.
I used this recipe but all of the top google results for "fortune cookie recipe" were pretty similar. If I made the above recipe again, I would be careful not to beat the egg whites and sugar as long as it says.
Used this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/homemade-wonton-soup/detail.aspx
and removed all meat/seafood. Instead of actually making wontons, I boiled the wrappers and tossed them in the soup as a noodle.
...so I guess it's more of a Chinese Vegetable soup. Sooo good.
This week I decided to try my hand at Golabki. I choose this relatively simple recipe: http://hubpages.com/hub/Halupki-Stuffed-Cabbage-Recipe, which turned out pretty well. It makes quite a lot so I have tons of leftovers.
Also, I hope to have my real camera back next week so I can stop using a shitty webcam.
Within the last year, a few of my friends have introduced me to Chili Crisp. I bought it but wasn't exactly sure how i wanted to use it. This is my favorite use so far. I now cook this enough that I have to get the huge jar from my local Asian market.
I made up the recipe, so here is the jist. Put a crazy large scoop of chili crisp oil in a frying pan. Let it heat a bit. Then add some leftover rice. Let it get all crispy. I do this by spreading everything out in the bottom of the pan and not touching it, to get a good crunch. Then i push it all to half the pan. Pour in my mixed eggs (i dont add salt to it because the oil is fairly salty) scrambled in half the pan for a bit, then mix it all together.
It's such a quick lunch for me or a late breakfast on the weekend. I love it!
CHEFMADE Madeleine Mold Cake Pan, 12-Cavity Non-Stick Scallop Madeline Bakeware for Oven Baking (Champagne Gold) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MKGN3CK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_2FPWTVQ966XFJS5MN819?psc=1
Is this the one?
The mole is from Mexico from the Inside Out!
For the mushrooms, I just melted a lb of butter in a small pot and submerged the shrooms for about a half hour until they felt tender. I had to keep the pot half off the burner to keep the temp low enough, and i stirred it a few times. Then I took them out and let cool. I tossed them in a little adobo sauce and salt and then just seared them in a hot cast iron pan. If it weren't freezing and windy here I would have liked to grill them at the end.
I cheated with the tortillas and bought masa from an excellent local place that is grinding heirloom corn.
I bought Golden Curry sauce and followed the cooking instructions. It’s the easiest curry ever. You can add any kind of meat or veggies to make it yours.
Thinking of making my own popped rice, I've always wanted too. Will probably turn it into rice krispie treats for church on sunday if it works.
For others: we enjoy jasmine rice as a starch with many meals (a very tasty rice to eat by itself) and we have recently picked up the habit of adding butter, can't recommend it enough. We for some reason have a tradition of eating it in a bowl with Milk and Cinnamon and a tiny but of sugar. Having done it all my life it seems normal but some people have never heard of it and think we're incredibly strange (I wouldn't recommend it with other types of rice, but it works well with Jasmine) so if you haven't heard of that you can get yourself some Jasmine rice and try it out.
If you're looking for other rices to try, check out Black Japonica Rice which we buy on amazon. When cooked it's purple and it's not quite like white rice or brown rice. Really good flavor, try it some time.
I got a small hand mixer on Amazon for $10-15, if it's something you want to look into.

I bought this kit on Amazon to make the tofu: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0035T92JS/
I used two quarts of unsweetened soy milk from the store and about 2 teaspoons of the coagulant. It didn't come out as firm as I would have liked. In the future, I will strain the curds before putting them in the mold to get more water out and I might add a little more coagulant.
Here is the recipe I used for the cucumber dish. The beef recipe I used is this one but I did a few things differently.
I put the sirloin in the freezer for 45 minutes before marinating so that I could cut it super thin. I don't normally have mirin on hand so I used a sweeter white wine and substituted fish sauce for the msg per the reviews. I also tripled the garlic. I broiled the kabobs for 3 minutes per side in the toaster oven. The rice is just a jasmine rice courtesy of the rice cooker.
It was delicious, and my first time cooking anything vaguely Japanese.
Sure.
For the applesauce cookies we followed this recipe at allrecipes.
Everything else we pretty much made up on the fly and tried to document it in the photos. Anything in particular you want me to try to approximate measurements for?
What should have been the recipe plus we added habanero peppers and jalapeno sausage. However, we mixed up Jiffy baking mix for Jiffy corn bread mix which resulted in no cornbread. It still tasted good though!
I don't have a grill, so these were oven baked. They baked for 2 hours, flipped, then for another 30 minutes on 300.
I based the sauce loosely on this recipe. I used Emeril's baby bam instead of seasoned salt, and I didn't have steak sauce so I used extra ketchup instead. I also didn't have a meat tenderizer, and didn't bother substituting.
These were the most amazing ribs I've ever had. The meat fell off the bones and I kept licking my fingers. Oh man!
Here is the recipe I used. I didn't use the chicken so it would be vegetarian and added corn since I had some delicious sweet corn left over. I didn't think the cayenne added enough of a kick, so we ate it with plenty of red pepper flakes.
Carnitas Pizza Recipe plus added carnitas meat, cilantro and onions.

Two recipes this time! Beer crust and Beer and Bacon Toppings!
You can use any funnel cake recipe, really. I used this one.
And then I just made some homemade whipped cream and a strawberry sauce to top them.
＞＜ Bento menu paralysis real.
You only really need three dishes to make a good bento, and one of them is usually rice. The easiest way to do them is to just save leftovers, tbh. When I make my bentos for work on a regular week (not a, shall we say, stunt bento like this where I specifically bought chicken for it) they're a mix of leftovers -- I am not above straining the vegetables out of last night's dinner's miso soup to put in -- and stuff that I make quickly in the morning to use up whatever is floating around in the fridge. 1 or 2 eggs? Tamagoyaki. Half a thing of spinach? Nagano senbei. 50g of pork? Shogayaki. Shredded leftover grilled fish is pretty common for me. Canned fish is also a lifesaver when there's literally nothing in the fridge and I have no time.
I'm rambling. I really love bentos.... I'm kinda considering a Bento Meta for next year's 52 Weeks of Cooking...
The chopstick holder is modern . The vintage bento did come with its own chopsticks that slot into a space in the lid, but I don't really use them. I already had these ones that I like (the case is really too cute) and the ones that came with the vintage box are a little short.
I used egg poacher cups similar to these.
I ordered a pack of 4 off amazon, even though I hate amazon.
Make sure you have your incubation situation figured out ahead of time before you order the starters. Tempeh likes to culture at 85-90F, and it needs air holes so you can't submerge it in a water bath. I figure out that using a heating pad on low helps it stay pretty consistent, but I had a few failed methods before figuring that out.
Thank you, but I didn't make the roasted seaweed :) you can buy them from a grocery store in snack size packs! Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Kirkland-Roasted-Seaweed-0-6-10/dp/B00AG0GLKM
Creole Shrimp from Gullah Geechee Home Cooking: Recipes from the Matriarch of Edisto Island by Emil Meggett
It was very yummy, but it did not turn out as intended. I didn't have fresh tomatoes (nor will I ever have the patience to peel a tomato), so I substituted canned diced tomatoes, which I think is what prevented my sauce from properly cooking down? I think next time I'd try using crushed tomatoes instead.
Highly recommend Korean cheese flavored ramen. It comes with a spice packet (I consider it medium spicy) and a cheese powder packet. So yummy. There are other brands but this is the one I find easily at my local Asian market.
So in order to answer you, I had to: 1) walk into the kitchen and sample some on my finger three times. 2) ask my wife how she would describe the taste of Vegemite. 3) Google how others have tried to describe it. 😂
Without thinking my instinctual response as an Aussie is, it tastes like Vegemite! But I completely get that that is entirely unhelpful to someone who has never tried it.
To best try to describe it, I would say firstly it's savoury, quite salty tasting, almost a little metallic but not in a bad way, it's sort of beefy, but not, as it is vegan friendly, it's tangy and slightly bitter. It's flavour is strong, so you don't need alot of it when you are serving it.
Over here we are basically raised on the stuff from a very young age so most Aussies are fans of it. It's pretty much a pantry staple, never goes off, and is an easy snack spread applied on various carbs such as sliced bread fresh or toasted, large grain crackers/crispbread such as Ryvita or Cruskits, or fresh bread rolls like a knot roll. Almost always served with a layer of butter, margerine or Nuttelex. It's often used as a flavour layer with cheese in scenarios where the carb is toasted and served hot.
It can also be used in heaps of cooking recipes that you wouldn't think of immediately, there is a great range of recipe ideas on the Vegemite.com.au website.
I would certainly recommend giving it a try, just don't apply too much at first, start off with a very very light smear buttered fresh bread.

According to the internet solyanka is popular in both Russia and Ukraine, but believed to have originated in Ukraine in the 17th century. It's a soup that's typically made with meat, but this fish version from A Celebration of Soup by Lindsey Bareham, was very tasty.
I just googled…interesting! Never heard of it before.
Am I right that this would be what I want? (I LOVE Amazon for this kind of thing!)

It was with these vegetable cutters I bought online - these are the ones I've got, they're pretty flimsy tbh but do the job
Yes! I got it as a gift for Xmas, this is the one: https://www.amazon.com/Making-Pieces-Plastic-Complete-Spatula/dp/B08P59VFNP/
I like rice but don't cook it very often and had never made rice pudding. I'm not sure if I'd ever even eaten rice pudding before. That made a pretty easy decision for what to cook this week. Not a whole lot to say about the process. I followed the recipe below pretty closely and was pretty happy with how everything came out.
The chicken was alright (should have marinated it) but the rice was amazing. And that's avocado on the side.

Bulgogi is a Korean beef recipe. It is phenomenal. My old room mate was Korean and made this for me once, I was absolutely blown away.
While probably not a perfect recipe, here's a good one to get started.
I've grilled and roasted asparagus before, so this time I decided to make a sauce. I boiled the asparagus until tender, drained most of the water, added a splash of lemon juice, 1 clove of minced garlic, and 1tsp salt and blended it all together. I then stirred in some heavy cream.
For the Flounder, I coated thin slices of black forest ham in egg and wrapped a pair of stacked filets. I baked it at 350 for about 20 minutes then cut in half and served on top the asparagus sauce.
For the side, I made "Baked Beats 'n' Sweets" using the recipe at: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Roasted-Beets-n-Sweets/Detail.aspx
Both the asparagus sauce and the side dish had too much salt, in my opinion, but they were still good. I was pretty pleased with the meal.
meatball: From this recipe, except with 2/3 beef 1/3 lamb. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/meatball-sandwich/
marinara sauce: http://www.allthesauce.com/?p=31
Put it together: Warm meatballs in sauce. Spread a little garlic-butter on the bread and toast it. Put provalone and a little parmesean on the bread and toast it again to melt the cheese. Add sauce & meatballs
This is the link I found for the recipe = http://allrecipes.com/recipe/blini-russian-pancakes/detail.aspx
I also mashed the potatoes together with sourcream. The gravy was pretty simple. I also put a little bit of chocolate spreading on the last one. Kinda like a dessert. Easy to make and very good.
Oops, sauce; pulled pork
We made this recipe without the eggs and olives & we added potatoes in their place. We paired it with cheese and a movie and it worked out well. We were especially proud that we got to get this week's challenge done even though we're out of town :).
These were delicious! I used this recipe, but omitted the pine nuts and used yellow cornmeal.
I made a blender hollandaise sauce based on this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/blender-hollandaise-sauce/
The book that inspired my first attempt at Eggs Benedict: http://www.amazon.com/Mysterious-Benedict-Society-Trenton-Stewart/dp/0316003956/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331486895&sr=8-1
From (this recipe)[http://allrecipes.com/recipe/mocha-chocolate-chip-banana-muffins/detail.aspx]. I substituted 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup shortening for the margarine, and I mixed it all by hand since I don't have a food processor. And with only 14 muffin cups (and a 12 muffin pan), 1/3 of the batter went into a loaf, currently in the oven. Hope that turns out well, too!
I might be experiencing minor regret about this, though. Being neither a soda nor coffee drinker, I think caffeine gives me headaches. I should stop eating them and let my roommate have them.
But they're so good...
I used this recipe for the cake, however I also crushed up about fifteen-twenty Sweetheart candies and mixed them into the batter for extra love. I cheated with the frosting a bit by buying pre-made cream cheese frosting and adding food dye.
Used this recipe here: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/brazilian-chicken-with-coconut-milk/
I thought it was a little bland so the changes I made were to only use 1/2 the can of coconut milk and also added the same spice mix used on the chicken to the the sauce itself. I also sprinkled a little lime juice over it and the rice.
It’s a plain brown ceramic bowl but the window behind it has a prismatic film on it. I usually don’t make Amazon shopping recommendations, but if you’re into rainbows… this thing is so worth it. When direct sunlight comes thru the window, the room is filled with rainbows. It’s been in the window for 5 years and it still makes me go “woah.”
This is a Burmese dish from a Burmese cookbook, "The Rangoon Sisters". (It's currently 99p on amazon.co.uk for the Kindle edition - loads of interesting recipes and it was one of the Observer's top 10 cookbooks of the year in 2020.)
The dish is Coconut Chicken Noodles (which I made vegan by using 'chicken' replacement and switching the egg noodles for rice noodles). It's served on rice noodles and topped with crispy noodles and thinly sliced shallots. The sauce is made from onions, ginger, garlic, turmeric, paprika and creamed coconut.
It's thickened with gram flour (chickpea flour) which does an impressive job of thickening the sauce. I'd never tried that before so I'll keep it in my back pocket as an interesting method of thickening things!
Holy moly I loved making the deep fried crispy noodles! These are simply rice noodles deep-fried but they curl up and puff up and brown. It's kind of amazing to watch - when it first happened I was really surprised as the noodles release a lot of bubbles, which is the moisture in the dried noodles cooking out all at once but then within a minute you have amazing crispy noodles. See here for a video of it: https://youtu.be/8Eaq38OyqXA?t=56
The sauce is deliciously tasty, the coconut flavor is excellent and I loved the tumeric/paprika/lime combo. Plus the crispy noodles add a nice different crunchy texture. I think I'd enjoy making this again since I have plenty of noodles left over. Next time I might try substituting tofu for the chicken.
This is dish number 23 of 196 (ish) on my project to cook around the world, and I'm 11.7% of the way through and expect to finish around May 2025 (!). This was a very easy theme to fit to a country as tens of countries use noodles in their food.
This is where I got mine. It’s two dollars cheaper than when I got it.

Recipe from here: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/brazilian-chicken-with-coconut-milk/
I've never had Brazilian, so it's probably not that authentic. I don't know the difference. But, I omitted the cayenne and jalapenos (spicy foods are no good to my innards) and it was suuuper bland. Should've put maybe one pepper in.
haha it was good. i guess i kind of forgot what i was doing at one point and apparently turned off the oven partway through baking the bread so they were kind of underdone at first, but the parts that were done tasted good :P
the ribs were pretty good - very easy recipe
Used this recipe here, but instead of just coating the chicken in flour I dipped them in an egg wash and breaded them. It turned out absolutely fantastic and I even had some sauce leftover for future dishes.
I used this recipe.
But made some small adjustments. I used a pineapple starfruit juice (it was close enough), Southern Comfort for the whiskey (wasn't really willing to give up my good stuff), and Tapatio for the hot sauce. I also love Worcestershire so I added extra. It turned out super sweet, tangy and spicy. SOOO good.
For the meat balls I just mashed together ground beef with bread crumbs, Montreal Steak Seasoning and some onion powder. Bake for 15-18mins. (I forgot to add egg, but the crumbly meat balls were perfect for soaking up the glaze)
I used this recipe. I couldn't get shredded coconut, so instead I used cream of coconut, which seemed to work just fine. The bread itself turned out a little bland, though.
I used this recipe, but left out the mushrooms: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/chicken-lo-mein/detail.aspx
I think I would add something else in to replace them next time though, some onions or something maybe.
Indeed. To check the process for this I just did a quick Google search for "egg bread with a hole in it" and found this. But apparently it's also known as Egg in a Basket. What do you call it in England?
In my opinion, yes, but I’ve always been a fan of his recipes. The amazon page has some preview recipes: https://www.amazon.nl/More-Recipes-Veg-Joy/dp/1760781827/ref=asc_df_1760781827/?tag=nlshogostdsp-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=494741768048&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1447960354520899264&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&...
You are lucky, I used to live in Oakland and have craved this salad ever since I moved away! I ended up ordering from Amazon, I couldn’t find any locally (I’m in the south so I was not surprised). I bought this one which came as a paste with oil and chiles in it already, so I just added a little garlic and some lemon juice. Honestly the most labor intensive part of the salad was frying the garlic and the split peas
I pulled the recipe out of this cookbook and it was really good! Honestly better than I expected, though I did double the amount of spices the recipe called for.
Recipe used. Don't own a regular grill so we had to cook it on a George Foreman so I would imagine that it would be even better than it was if it had that charcoal or wood smoke flavor but it was very good regardless.
Used this recipe but I cut the proportions in half and it still made a ton so if you want to try it, know that you'll end up with stacks on stacks of cookies, that were delicious by the way.
I have never made homemade rice noodles before and the process seemed quite daunting, but in reality, they were not too difficult!
The dish was amazing! Very light and refreshing tastes. But with the kick of the chile sauce, it rocked.

Good recipe! I had to add some corn starch to thicken it up but it still ended up with a curry-like consistency... Not my favorite flavors (potatoes, ginger, not super super flavorful) but still good... and warming to the insides on a very snowy day in NJ. I think I still choose Indian curry over Jamaican.
Do you know you can explain something without being a twat?
The most important parts of fermentation are not yeast and time (even if they play a role) but microbes and absence of oxygen. There's usually a lot of salt involved in lacto fermentation. Here's a source that explains the different types of fermentation very well : https://www.masterclass.com/articles/what-is-fermentation-learn-about-the-3-different-types-of-fermentation-and-6-tips-for-homemade-fermentation#how-does-fermentation-work
That being said, OP your French fries might not be fermented but they look delicious and you should be proud of yourself!
I started submitting occasionally last year. This year I plan to complete them all and using it as a way to help with my anxiety.

Makes the crust crisp and chewy and it’s nice if you don’t want to heat up your whole kitchen.

Mine is an Iris Ohyama model -- basically, the cheapest model, lol. I don't know if they are sold in the US, but here's the (amazon listing) [https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Ohyama-Gadaku-Direct-Single-Inside/dp/B07JWGTF54/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1B8U3SCKXIF6Y&dchild=1&keywords=iris%2Bohyama%2Bhot%2Bsand&qid=1634957108&sprefix=iris%2Bohyama%2Bhot%2Bs%2Caps%2C311&sr=8-1&th=1].
It isn't a particularly fancy or special model, but the key feature for me is the closing mechanism: it's not a simple hinge right next to the actual pan. When the hinge is too close to the body of the maker, it makes it hard to really pack your sandwiches with a lot of filling. As long as the hinge is further away (so that the top of the press comes down pretty evenly horizontally over the sandwich), I'm sure any brand would be fine.
