11/12 - Thinking Thoroughly About Thursday

I press the everloving fuck out of it, then marinate in whatever sauce I'm gonna use. Coating in peanut butter and baking is amazing too.

 

I think I've had tofu maybe once or twice in my life. I'm pretty unfamiliar. I'm learning so much.

 

I didn't think the food conversation could get any worse than talking about soup.. Yet here we are.

 

Of course, I just like getting recommendations from the folk here, that way I can tell them it was great and/or terrible

 

Chicken tortilla soup. Beef stew. Chili. Pho.

There are some really good soups.

 

I third, never skip the corn starch, also corn starch fried chicken is fucking amazing

good, you mean fucking amazing

 

AskCrowd has a group HIT going that appears to be decent paying....$5 base. Maybe up to $4 more...

She also has amazingly authentic recipes (vegan included) that I LOVE. Maangchi does a lot of really spicy things though so be careful with her spice levels.

 

I'm a very married woman. I can't laugh at other males semi-sexual jokes.

 

Married or not funny is funny.

 

Tofu is one of my favorite foods.

Peanut butter, soy sauce, whatever spicy thing you like (sriracha or garlic chili paste or similar), tons of garlic, water if needed to get to a thick sauce consistency. Coat and bake at a fairly high heat to get a bit of a crust. Goes really well with soba noodles, using the same pb mixture as a sauce.

What I do most often - soy sauce, spicy thing, tons of garlic, ginger, honey, lemon juice, whatever else you have lying around that sounds saucey, then probably some more garlic. Press for hours or overnight, then marinate for as long as you can stand to wait. Drain off excess liquid (you can use as a stir fry sauce or glaze while cooking), toss in a good amount of cornstarch, then fry in some v hot oil. You don't have to worry about cooking it through or overcooking, so you just want to use high heat to get the outside super crispy and chewy.

 

You wont find me laughing externally. sometimes I giggle to myself and that's all you're ganna find me admit

 

If you want to experiment further, doing a few freeze-thaw cycles totally changes the texture too. I almost exclusively use extra firm too, unless it's gonna get blended.

 

Ok I should probably stop going on about tofu and do some work or something...

 

Drinking a Painkiller now and it's fucking great

• 2 ounces rum (navy or dark)
• 4 ounces pineapple juice
• 1 ounce orange juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 ounce cream of coconut
• Garnish: nutmeg, freshly grated
• Garnish: pineapple wedge

 

Oh that looks delicious. I wish rum didn't make me immediately dysfunctional.

Maangchi is so sweet. Also, Yan Can Cook from PBS is awesome. It's a bit of a throwback, but super accessible with ingredients and methods.

 

I don't eat a ton of vegetarian food honestly so I don't have many recommendations. I love meat too much lmfao
