Pan-fried dumpling started from scratch.
It's not that hard actually.
1.) Mix all purpose flour with hot water in the ratio of 4:1, stir well.
2.) Mix in about (1/3 flour)mL lukewarm water in to the bowl little by little, stir well with every mixing.
3.) Knead until the dough is smooth, moist but not wet.
Then you got the dumpling wrapper dough ready.
Decide whatever filling you want to have(I choose minced pork and diced onion with seasoning because I'm poor).
Cut out the shape of your wrapper with whatever you have(square, circle, whatever shape you want.)
Fill the wrapper up(not too much though, fill out about 1/3 of the wrapper), then fold it up with your finger (if it doesn't stick together, try add brush a little water on the edge)
DONE! Now fry it up!

In addition to the delicious (and spicy) posole I made for Thanksgiving, I made my second attempt at ice cream.

The first time I tried was a while ago, and I hadn't been carefull enough when tempering the eggs and then adding them to the hot ice cream base. The way tempering is *supposed* to work is that you add a little of the hot liquid to the eggs and stir it up to slowly raise the eggs temperature, becasue otherwise if you add the eggs right in the saucepan they'll scramble. One you've got 2 or 3 ladlefulls of the base added to the eggs to temper them, then you slowly (slowly!) add the tempered eggs in the your pan while quickly mixing. Somehow I messed up in this step and I very quickly noticed I had some serious chunkies happening. Not even regular chunkies but "oh dear, I've made weird scrambled eggs" chunkies. I was determined to eat some goddamn ice cream, so I went through with the rest of the process figuring that what doesn't kill me will at least teach me a valuable lesson about food safety. Another mistake is that I didn't try to strain it out. Last nights recipe had me straining the liquid to get the normally occuring chunkies out, but this first one didn't. My Scrambled Vanilla Bullshit ended up with a great flavor but really uncomfortable texture and I spent most of that night awake with a churning stomach.

Yesterday's go at a cinnimon ice cream was perfect. I was super careful while tempering and only had a bit of chunkies to strain out. The texure was nice and creamy and the cinnimon didn't end up overpowering.

Had a chicken breast and part of a ham steak and a bag of spinach all approaching Not So Good, so casserole time.
Turned out pretty good.

 

[Adamska]

Some diced and braised chicken breast seasoned with a southwest style blend and some fries. It was simple, but I want to save the steaks I have for later on.

 

[RumblyTumbly]

Baked Ziti.

It actually wasn't half bad.

 

[MerriedxReldnahc]

Green eggs and ham.

Spoiler: No, really

Mmmm!

 

[Nekromantik]

A nice big crock pot of chili just got done. It's been cooking since early this morning.

 

[Francis E. Dec Esc.]

Naan pizza with tandoori chicken.

 

[Exceptionally Exceptional]

I recently made a pork and potato stew with garlic dumplings that was pretty tasty. Dumplings are always nice in the winter. Heck, I'll even make sweet dumplings and cook 'em in my oatmeal. There's just something about little balls of boiled dough that I find incredibly satisfying.

 

[vertexwindi]

I just put a really simple curry together with chicken breast, green beans, coconut milk and one of those packets of curry stuff and then I mixed it with some white rice. It was alright.

 

[Higgins]

I just made a keto broccoli cheddar soup with some onions and baby bella mushrooms. It's more chunkier than I hoped for, but not bad

 

[XYZpdq]

Ground beef, jarred jalapeno slices, onion, can of mushrooms, adobo, paprika, sauteed, added sour cream, spiral noodles.
Sorta stroganoff. Good stuff.

 

[Adamska]

Habanero burger with fries. The burger is simple in that you just splice in some salt, pepper, and a bit of habanero sauce to add just a bit of heat. Fries were the bag type because fuck it, but the good kind of fuck it fries.

 

[Martys_not_smarty]

Today was a modified version of life of Boris' babushka's secret recipe for Christmas pork which is a pork neck or shoulder hacked up into fist sized pieces oven stewed in brine with a medly of mustard, spices, garlic and onions and served with some red potatoes that I boiled up in some DSP tears after being raped by better players in street fighter meaning it was pretty salty water.

 

[sperginity]

Roasted brussel sprouts & rigatoni, made a roux sauce with roasted garlic, almond milk, and shallots. It was good.

 

[Hatoful Dandy]

Some white rice with a packet of instant tomato soup and an egg thrown in for good measure.

Delicious.

 

[Belmont]

Meat-Mac. It's the easiest thing in the world. You need a meat..and some mac and cheese. Oh and of course Tony Chachere's Cajun seasoning.

 

[MangledTwot]

Been extra keen on tofu lately. Always a favourite but I'm really making it loads. Mixing just about any spices I can find in the house i.e. cumin, paprika, cilantro & frying it up with soy sauce or olive oil. The right spices and garnishes can make or break it, so do it right!

 

[tomthehusky]

Peposo. Used 3.5 lbs of chuck roast, whole clove of garlic, shit ton of pepper, tomato paste, and a bottle of Chianti.

 

[Exceptionally Exceptional]

Made chicken with mole sauce last night, with Spanish rice and veggies. It was pretty good.
