What Have You Cooked Recently?

[I'm Really Feeling It]

Baked a cake for a cousin today, after 2 years. Also tried out making small veggie dumplings which turned out pretty great and easy to create.

 

[Cloaca Rimjob]

cooked some simple fajitas.

fried some drumstick meat in the pan.
added a pack the seasoning and a little bit of water.
added onions let them soften up
added a tin of chopped tomatoes and chopped up bell pepper.
let it cook for a bit more then add mozzarella to the mix until it melts.
spread creme fraiche on your tortillas then wrap them up with the mixture.

forgot how tasty they were. You get a lot from the mixture so its a cheap and easy lunch for most of the week.

Last week I did meal prep for the wife and I. She had some english muffin pizzas while I had teriyaki chicken with fried rice and veggies. I loved the chicken so much I had to make it again and wife wanted it for this week as well. Is it a simple meal? Sure, but it is god damn delicious and making the teriyaki sauce from scratch just puts it up another level.

I have not been posting on Kiwi Farms much, lately, as Tor has been slow as fuck as pages have a 50% of timing out.

Anyway, my birthday is this week.



I will make a cake this week as well, but in celebration, just set this up a half hour ago.

It is chopped up ginger root in Everclear. I am making ginger liqueur. It does not look like much, for now, but it is really easy to do and tastes like liquid ginger candy.

It will take about a month, though.

it looks like it's waiting for a My Little Pony to be submerged in it

8oz spicy guac

that reminds me I have some of those little guac cups that aren't bad yet but are getting towards needing to be used

tonight was salvaging a chicken, wife had gone too hard on "nashville" seasoning on a whole young chicken, ended up waaaaaaaaay too spicy on the skin, otherwise okay. worked good for improvised chicken salad with kewpie mayo, but now it was up to "probably want to cook it hard, and do it tonight"
so I stripped the meat and skin, sauteed that with a diced onion and a bit of olive oil, did up a couple of potatoes and carrots in the air fryers to pre-roast them, threw them in with a mix of water and that dark chinese cooking wine, mostly water, then a couple of packs of golden curry
VERY dank, the total non-heat of "HOT" Japanese curry was enough to cut the actual heat of the chicken so it's nicely spicy but not too overbearing
preroasting the carrots and potatoes worked great
would have preferred to use half water half chinese white cooking wine, but had to make do 1/6 wine 5/6 water-ish

Made a sort of "Italian style" chicken breast sandwich. Air-fried chicken breast with Italian seasoning, topped with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese, on a toasted sandwich bun. It was okay.

Was in the mood for crab cakes but not in the mood to pay for crab meat so I made them with canned tuna. Came out surprisingly good and only took a few minutes to whip up. I'll definitely be making them again.

1 can of tuna drained
1 egg
~1 tbsp mayonnaise
ground mustard and paprika to taste
just enough bread crumbs to get them to hold together

Fry in butter until golden brown

I can't bring myself to air fry anything raw. It just seems unsanitary and the end product looks dry. Is there anything you do to prevent this or to make it more appetizing?

Just brush it in oil if you want a crispy skin, the air fryer will cook anything. If you're concerned about things not thoroughly cooking, do what you would do with an oven and cook it longer at a slightly lower temperature

I often start from frozen. If you use a meat thermometer, it gets the internal temperature right but you might want to use it until you get a good grasp on how long it actually takes. If you're really paranoid, take it up to 10-20 above the recommended. It shouldn't dry it out.

I often do leg quarters in a dry rub and I'd recommend leaving the skin on.

Yeah that's not ideal. At least stick it in your fridge the day before so it thaws, or in a sealed bag submersed in lukewarm water if you only have an hour. Most foods don't really cook well from frozen, aside from hamburger.

Works fine, you just need to change the temperature and time, finishing with a high temperature. I'd definitely prefer it to cultivating salmonella by doing it in water for even an hour or two. Thawed but still cold is best and makes it easier to do a dry rub. Leg quarters usually take more like two days, though, so sometimes starting from frozen is doable (it would not be in a normal oven).

Got into Hot Pockets since I get up early for work. Very tasty, easy to cook, lots of flavors. Like the pepperoni pizza one the most

I made a malted-milk cake for my birthday.

 

[mindlessobserver]

I made cheeseburger, but a tried a different method. Old school state fair style poached. Basically, instead of throwing the patty on a hot skillet with some grease, I instead added beef stock to the bottom of the pan and brought it to a simmer. This method was done so that the burgers could be kept in a warm tank of broth after they were done cooking so they could could be thrown onto a bun when someone ordered. Threw in some mushrooms and onion, along with garlic and pepper and let it reduce just a little bit before adding a standard smash patty.

It turned out pretty good. You don't get that sear or char, so its definitely a softer texture, but the flavor was completely different (and really savory). The Mushrooms also turned into the perfect topper after the stock almost completely reduced and they fried a bit in the residual burger fat. I think the next time I do this, I will have a second frying pan ready so that after they re done cooking in the broth, I can do a quick pan sear at the end. I feel that would turn really tasty into amazing.

Lmao boiled hamburgers.

A medium shirlon steak with some leftover adobo butterfly shrimp I got from Aldi.
