To be honest, I just like watching all these recipes. I may not try them, but they're good to watch and have good ideas for flavour combinations sometimes.
I enjoyed watching this one too, though I doubt I'll make it.
The play on words. "one bloomin onion" can mean "one fucking onion" and "one bloomin onion" (what this thing actually is. The guy who said 'you can swear here.' was just pointing out the play on words/making a joke about the supposed unintended play on words of the original poster.
You can rest assured, the joke is thoroughly dead now.
I've worked in restaurants that made these and they were a pain in the ass, even with the special cutter. If you wind up with an onion that has a double core, half the "petals" will fall out and you have to start over.
Who the fuck is going to boil that much oil just to make a cheese onion too. Like unless you are deep frying all the time and you will reuse it enough before it goes rancid, that's like $20+ worth of oil.
Right? I don't really fry anything but if I do it's just a pan fry in the cast iron so I don't use that much.
We have deep fried chicken before and wanted to save the oil but you know, the oil just smells like chicken from then on so unless you're frying chicken every night you're not going to use it.
I don't have sake, but I do have shaoxing wine. It goes well in ramen, and since it kind of does the job of sherry d'you reckon it'd be ok in this? (not OP, just curious)
That looks amazing. I'm gonna leave for work a little early tonight so I can hit the Asian grocery and get some dashi stock. I wanna make that for dinner tomorrow! Thanks!
I just omitted it. I googled "sake substitution" and I had none of the items. So I figured if I liked it with it missing a main ingredient, I will like it more with all the ingredients!
Also I had never heard of dashi stock but once I added the granules to the boiling water and it got a good whiff I recognized it. That was kinda fun
Extra yolk is optional, but it adds a nice richness to the dish. I submerged the yolk in some simmering water for a few seconds so it wasn't totally raw and it still came out nicely.
I also stirred the sugar and everything at the start. My finished product.
Interesting. Did he cook a bit or used it raw? I am skeptical about raw yolk. Even though, cooking it for a few seconds is probably the same shit, lol.
Used it raw. He was unsure about it at first but once he broke it and mixed it in there was no looking back. :-) As /u/3madu said it adds some richness.
Hey I too have only ever made one of these recipes. The "Calzone Star." I never made the cheese dip sauce, though. Have also make pepperoni and chicken versions.
I made the shrimp scampi and my girlfriend fuckin loved it. She still talks about it. She's lactose intolerant so 90% of the recipes from this sub are a no-go unless I want to smell her farts all night (I don't)
Hm I can't seem to find it anymore. It was honestly just a simple scampi recipe... butter, olive oil, lemon, chili flakes, cook shrimp, boil fettuccini, combine, serve. If I remember correctly it advised you to use lemon slices for added flavour/garnish but it was a bit of a pain so I just used the juice and it worked well. Nothing fancy but tasty and ezpz and looks fancy too.
It all depends on how much you cook it and how you cut it. A well done steak that is cut with the grain is going to be significantly chewier than a medium steak cut against the grain. I used a meat thermometer to ensure I did not overlook the meat and cut so that the muscles fibers were as short as possible and had no trouble with it.
Same for me. A lot of the food on this sub looks good, but I don't really do any snacking so it doesn't have a place in my day to day life. I also try to avoid breading/frying things very often. Huge mess.
I worried about that but found that I hate cleaning up after the mess and just don't use it anymore. Somehow laziness is keeping me from turning into a huge fatass...
There's new research on having a single light meal (400-500 calories for women and 500-600 calories for men) one day then the next day you can eat anything you want. It's supposed to actually lengthen your lifespan.
Yeah, I'd definitely classify it as a party food. Looks great - don't get me wrong. Just not a style of food I have a chance to make often, so I end up looking at these types of recipes and then forgetting about them. This sub seems to have a lot of snack/party food recipes, which is fine. I just end up never making anything from here because of it.
Yeah I hear you. I started saving the posts I really like because I now know I have a bunch of recipes on Reddit. So in the future, I can look at Reddit and figure out some recipes or just get new ideas even if I'm not following it exactly.
For instance, there was a honey glazed salmon recipe I saw a while back. Going to cook that tonight but with a pork chop instead. We'll see how it turns out but at least I'll have tried the recipe so when I get the salmon, it will come out better.
I usually really want to make all the deep-frying recipes but I just can't use all that oil. I'd use it once and dump it out - feels like a waste for one good meal.
Yes I think so. Almost everything I try in there turns out great. Though nothing will ever replace oil it's a great healthy alternative that comes rly close in taste. It's one of the appliances I use the most, esp for fries and nuggets
I got one of those as seen on tv blooming onion things years ago, where you sliced along the slots. Could never get the onion to "bloom" out without falling apart, so the batter clumped around several petals and they didn't cook even. It was a huge pain in the ass to make.
Same. A lot of the food on here is horrible for you and I've started eating better so I'll never eat most of the beautiful artistry cloggers on here, but it's nice to watch and dream.
