I usually also like to make this lettuce wrap recipe so it feels like full on Chinese takeout night.

Been doing the crock-pot & casserole carousel here to get extra mileage out of meals. Throw cans of veg in a one bag, a dried starch (dried beans, rice, pasta, what have you) in a different bag and a protein (chicken, beef, pork, fish) in another bag. Shake them up, then blindly grab one from each. Throw into crock-pot or into casserole dish for baking ... enjoy. Should last for a few meals. I had a winner I think might get more precedence going forward > tuna&noodles&onion&cheddarcheese&peas... nummy nummy nummy in my tummy.

Okay been eating rice practically every day. The instant microwave bowel type. It’s convenient but much more expensive than just regular rice.

So I def think it’s time for a rice cooker. But do I get a rice cooker or an instapot? Thing should pay for itself in a month or two.

I steer clear of single use utility products. I suppose if you're doing it every day then it might be worth investigating. I've no opinion on which are good. I've had rice from fancy smancy rice cookers and I didn't notice any different in quality from my regular old pot and lid... and bonus, I can use mine for other purposes.

I've been using my rice cooker every day — toss in rice,top with veggies and meat, press go, and I've got a full lunch+dinner in 50 minutes, no work needed.

Need to know if any of you purported chefs à l'excellence are into the bone broth trend? My brother (a to the extreme health nut), has been texting me with recipes that include bone broth, tomato juice and couscous or quinoa, extolling the nutritional punch of bone broth and as a good way extend meals and keep it healthy. Granted, I think bone broth is something you have to do a lot of work if you go at it yourself, but I know some places sell it. So, what is the verdict? Worth it?

If you mean normal soup then it's a piece of piss.

Take your chicken or lamb or whatever bones and boil them in water for a while. Strain it to get the bones out, pick any meat off the bones and throw into the strained water.
Chop veg, throw that in, boil and stew for a while. If you desire add some cornflour to thicken.
Voila, proper soup

We add a bit of cumin for a kick, tumeric for the stomach and then a few other herbs to season, your call

Homemade stock is superior to any other kind. We prepare cous cous in homemade chicken stock, not for health benefits but because it tastes better. As Mac said, boil up whatever roast meat carcass you have leftover for 1 to 2 hours. Strain. Freeze what you don't use. We use up stray ends of vegetables and herbs during the boil too.

Oh yah, totally split the stock and freeze half. Then top the pot up with more water and throw in the veg for souping

Okay, we need to talk about cilantro. I love cilantro, and the burst of fresh, lively flavor it brings and how it meshes so well with other ingredients in a lot of dishes, but I come from the camp that approaches cilantro carefully and consider it a very sensitive ingredient. In other words, if you take it over just a smidgen too much for my liking, I can't eat the dish. Less is more when it comes to cilantro. That is all, you can return to watching your Hot Pockets spin around in the microwave.

Yup

Anybody here made Shokupan? I want to give it a go, any tips welcome.
So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

Looks interesting, but full of sugar. We're making (as I say this I haven't in 2 weeks) a lot of plain bread in the slow cooker at the minute.

Just a mix of strong white bread and coarse wholemeal flour, yeast, water and salt

I find if you sub about a quarter of the white flour with cornmeal and add a generous tablespoon of extra virgin olive fed chicken bloodoil you get a less sweet more savoury loaf.

Bloodoil? In bread?

I remember in The Golden Child with Eddie Murphy the bad guys were trying to sneak some unholy blood into the Dalai Lama's food.

I think Abyss might actually be an Asian demon. Not that there hasn't been other signs

Doesn’t bloodoil make youhard and put an edge on your wooden sword?

Use it sparingly
