what are you eating today?

[american_hearts]

Pile a bunch of leafy greens on there, or cruciferous. Anything that can hold up to it -- kale, broccoli, etc. Toss it with some neutral oil, throw it on the grates. Some parts will get good charring, some will just soften up, good texture variety. Throw it in a bowl, season it -- can keep it as simple as olive oil, lemon, salt. It's nice to have on the side, and helps me power through more meat.

 

I grabbed a bunch of stuff from the asian market for the last grill-out and ended up with charred bok choy, hon shimeji mushrooms tossed with a fish sauce/lime/garlic/sugar/rice vinegar dressing. Grilled some of those chinese bakery hot dog buns, too, and threw them in there as croutons because WHY NOT.

[american_hearts]

yeah i need to eat some more vegetables. it's not even like they're expensive, and everything is awesome on the grill

 

i just don't know what goes with what so i just skip it noob status

I'm getting alright at hand-shaping my burger buns. This one's a brisket patty with gruyere and scamorza, thyme mushrooms (no vis) and aioli.

[034936]

bun game on point

[Hello12]

dat burger doe.

[WillKhitie]

Must have made my way back to Ramen Yushoken at least a handful of times the last two weeks – shoyu as always.

 

 

 

More Tonkatsuya, more Karaage.

 

 

Bonus waffle. 

 

[_ironman]

pork chops $0.88/lb (lemongrass sauce)

- 2 minutes a side, juicy white meat and perfectly translucent fat

 

bok choy $0.38/lb (oyster sauce + cayenne powder) 

- ~45 seconds a side, turned out better than i could imagine. not really dry at all

 

 

[CHINESEGOLD]

Looks great. I prefer steaming my bok choi in a pan then drizzling sesame oil and oyster sauce over it.

[blackmaged]

chicken quarters (on sale for $.59/lb at the market!), crisp-braised with garlic, thyme, and aromatic vegetables (carrots, celery, and onions). crispy skin and tender, juicy flesh is truly the best of both worlds.

Always a good time this one. "Singaporean" fresh lumpia.

 

Base filling is shredded beancurd, carrots, cabbage, green beans, and pork. The stuff on top is made of fresh bean sprouts, sliced scrambled egg, boiled shrimps, peanuts, crushed fried wanton, cilantro, sambal paste, and sweet soy sauce. 

 

 

Ginza Bairin's Khatsu-dum.

 

 

Baked 150g Chocolate Chip cookies for a friend's coffee stall.

[sean_]

soon tofu grosses me out so bad

[RayRei]

Sundubu jjigae is super underrated. Man I have never had real Singaporean dishes I'm dying to try some.

[jeepers]

That's not proper lumpia. 

[WillKhitie]

^ It's in a bowl for starters. Don't think they made it with the purpose to be 'proper' though.

[WillKhitie]

Back to lyf.

 

Plenty of Negronis.

 

 

"3rd WaV3 C0fF33" (Just hate the term, coffee is great.)

 

 

Messing around with cocoa powder – double chocolate cookies.

 

 

Roast Combo.

 

 

Set food from "Hook".

 

 

IBCream Soda.

 

 

Duck adobo flakes and a fried & runny duck egg over garlic rice.

 

 

White chocolate chip x toasted macadamia. 

 

 

Savory Cronut Crack, this was bacon, chive, and sour cream.

 

 

Can't stop eating it.

Was trying to find an og jajangmyeon spot and happened upon a place called Hyeonraejang where you can view the chefs making the noodles

1. Jajangmyeon - sauce was more gelatenous than your average jajangmyeon and the noodles were almost like linguini

2. dunno what this is called but it was spicy and a bit sour with noodles

3.  patbingsu - you can find this everywhere in seoul.  i forgot what this particular place was called but it was in a touristy spot and therefore overpriced

[ThinFinn]

i def. need to know more about that "mcgyvered an 8h tower"...i can spot a part of an aeropress, but not sure what's going on there

and the diy almond butter (200g almonds grounded for 10-15min.) usually keeps me busy for like 2-3 days...or less

[rirawin]

9 course tasting menu (17 dishes in total) at Viajante. Had a similar vibe to Noma, even down to the dinnerware. Has a nice relaxed atmosphere to the place, part of the dining area faces towards the open kitchen so you can see all the preparation, cooking and plating - an added bonus in my books.
