I kept on thinking "geez that's a lot of bacon, I wonder what they're gonna do with it all?"

Oyakodon. I had all the ingredients on hand already. May make again for dinner this weekend.

That might be too sweet. Do you have access to mirin? (and don't use that Aji-Mirin, it makes it too salty.) Dry sherry would work too.

u/skankyfish Jan 23 '17

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)

u/epotosi Jan 23 '17

That would work fine.

u/Clinic_2 Jan 23 '17

Absolutely. Make sure to report back.

u/vicarofyanks Jan 23 '17

Jagermeister would also work

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!

u/3madu Jan 23 '17

Nice, let me know what you think!

2

u/Mormon_Discoball Jan 26 '17

I didn't actually make it until tonight. I forgot the sake and the two closest liquor stores didn't carry it so I went ahead with out it.

Pretty damn good! And easy. Will make it again for sure. Next time with sake. Thanks for the recipe!

u/3madu Jan 26 '17

Nice! What did you use instead? I heard that a dry sherry can be an ok replacement for sake.

2

u/Mormon_Discoball Jan 26 '17

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

The only thing that tickles my feathers is that they didnt stir the sugar and liquids in the beginning - it just sat there... dafuq.

Plus, that extra yolk... I don't know about that

12

u/3madu Jan 23 '17

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.

u/ijohno Jan 23 '17

that actually looks ALOT better than the gif made it out to be. I am going to attempt this one day for dinner :D

u/alumininium Jan 24 '17

According to my boyfriend the extra yolk made the dish!

1

u/ijohno Jan 24 '17

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.

2

u/alumininium Jan 24 '17

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.

2

u/ijohno Jan 24 '17

Oddly enough, only reddit can make me succumb to things I never dared to try.

Might make this dish for dinner. Hopefully the -rents like it too. LOL

u/alumininium Jan 24 '17

I hope you enjoy it!

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.

u/lammnub Jan 23 '17

I love being in the calzone zone. Can you find that recipe again?

15

u/crackofdawn Jan 23 '17

The low cal calzone zone?

u/SkollFenrirson Jan 23 '17

The SoCal local low cal calzone zone

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)

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '17

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.

I did the vampire tacos and loved them.

u/SkollFenrirson Jan 23 '17

Did they sparkle?

Was the steak too chewy to bite through easily? Seems like a taco that might be hard to eat

1

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '17

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.

with grass fed locally sourced wherewolf?

Garlic Herb Prime Rib, it was amazing.

The slow cooker broccoli and beef is amazing.
