I'm seeing a girl that is veg. and it's hard making food because alot of the time it seems like veg. cooking is just making side dishes.

However, I find that asian flavors are very well suited veg. cooking. Dim sum/Tapas style foods work well. I agree incorporating a lot of mushrooms helps make the food heartier.

Asian-style veg foods I like:

-Taking firm tofu cutting it into eights in a star pattern to make 8 triangles and deep-frying these in 375 oil until there is a crust on the tofu and then making a dipping sauce of soy paste, ketchup, chopped raw garlic, sugar and a little toasted sesame oil. Ketchup sounds weird, but you will love it.

-Fried spring rolls filled with Cabbage, carrot, shiitake, bean sprouts, shredded braised tofu, ginger, garlic, soy, salt, pepper.

-Veg. tempura

RIP money tuff, I'm pouring out a Reidel glass of Alsatian Vielles Vignes 2005 for you homie, (paired with a tataki-style lobster carpaccio, with passionfruit coulis, sea salt and goat's cheese tuilles, and strips of cilantro gelee)

Yo, so... we had that cooking battle thing going down, what happened to that?

We could separate that bring it into this thread, with more organized competition, and we can hold off and post the final dishes all around the same time this time, to keep the element of surprise stronger.

Shit kind of takes a toll on your wallet to cook fancy 2-3 times a week so we can just do this once a week, whoever wants in can join in.

yay?

[skiniks]

reserving spot for cinderella as i know she'll be interested.

[sawn-off chef]

ya'll niagras think that i ain't bout to beast all over this ish? just you wait for my dinner party, ima come correct. although this thread will quite possibly mean the end of midnight snacks, i'm proud of it but everything has it's time and place

[Vampyrvargfesten]

this is a great idea

same kind of iron-chef-secret-ingredient type of battle that went on in midnight snacks?

[dismalfuture]

Yeah, same thing, we can go on broad themes (i.e. burgers) or ingredients, but nothing too specific that will stifle output (I thought the grilled cheese thing was kinda stoops) Winner picks the next theme, as always...

That said... I will choose this week's theme:

Chicken (repeat, I know)... all entries due Wednesday, midnight GMT

I want to see some delicious cocks!

[sawn-off chef]

ilaffed at coksm

[akuma no uta]

[evisu 2000]

pourin out some colt for scottm

[evisu 2000]

and ccalvin

he owes me an ice cream scoop

[Faded]

Im down for sure.

[dismalfuture]

If you guys want to change the ingredient this week to something else, suggest that now, before it's too late. I am open to hearing suggestions though so it's an equal playing field here.

[sistersuzie]

i'll cook anything fancy with ingredients i can't even pronounce correctly!!!

[pieiskewl]

awaiting the food porn

[sawn-off chef]

i'm down for chicken dismal, i'm ready to bring that NYC Greek fire!

[Tyro1]

Yeah I'm up for chicken, going to try to do something a bit different

[sybaritical]

Sorry chaps.

I already killed it back in 2006.

(5.1)

[jhxkcd]

Shit I'm down.

[M.O.A]

yeah I think i'm finally gonna get down on this. Sounds like fun

[Akira]

I might pop in and out of this, too poor for weekly gourmet but game to give interesting ingredients a try (iron chef sufu concept)

[sybaritical]

Can't.

I don't eat chickens anymore.

[sybaritical]

You know how posh my yard is. The urban foxes all got ruined by all the desperate housewives feeding them leftovers and only do artichoke smoothies and lemon soy lattes these days.

[sybaritical]

Take that thought to the next level thread and see what they make of it.

[sybaritical]

No way. I'm never trying that again.

Just the thought of it gives me heart palpitations.

[blm14]

syb are you a hummus-eating towelhead? That looks just like the kind of food that my wife makes (she's palestinian).

[sybaritical]

Nup. Def not.

Though I did pretend to be an albino Israeli once in a bar.
