I just want the most foolproof, easy, beginner friendly recipe on any kind of loaf.
I attempted sourdough but it always ends up super dense and shitty. Help breadons

I’ve tried this one, it’s pretty foolproof

Proofing is key for a fluffy texture. After kneading in the bowl until it holds it shape and not sticky anymore, proof dough in a warm environment (my house is cold so I like to run a heating fan while the bowl is covered) for an hour. Punch the air out, proof for another hour. Punch the air out again and shape into your loaf pan. Proof for a final 30 minutes, then bake at 350F for 30 minutes.

PROTIP: Sometimes I throw the bowl into the fridge for a long but slow proof of 12+ hrs, then take it out to punch out the air, shape, and do a final half hour of proofing. This is my lazy method for when I don’t have time to monitor my dough

PROTIP 2: When I say an hour, I meant however long it takes for the dough to double in size. It may take more than an hour if your area is cold, it may take less if hot.

PROTIP 3: Your dough should be between wet and dry for moist, not-dense bread. It should hold its shape but not be so dry that it “cracks”. Err on the side of it being too wet.

No. 183329

>>183325
Samefag, adding that if you want a crunchy bread like baguettes, shape into a baking sheet instead of a loaf pan and proof for the final 30 minutes. Brush the tops with egg wash. Place into a 500F oven and spray the sides of your oven with water. Bake for 7-10 minutes.

The texture of my risotto rice is always weirdly hard in the middle and soft outside. Am I cooking it too fast, or using the wrong amount of liquid?

No. 183356

I already cooked today and I'd like to bake BUT my husband is on a diet (and asleep) and I'm sick, so I can't go to the shop. I have leftover carrots that need to be used and I just want to bake, goddamn!

Next week I'll have to make my husband a cake and cook his favorite meal since it'll be a surprise for his birthday but I also want to bake right now! Maybe I'll negotiate with my husband tomorrow and put the carrot cake in the freezer to wait for the end of the diet.

No. 183372

>>183344
Could be both but you probably just need to cook it a little longer. Always make sure there's enough liquid (it's much easier to let the excess evaporate when you use a little too much than it is to add more after it's already done but too dry), but if there's really not enough liquid the outside of the rice is gonna be hard as well. Maybe when you think you're about done take out a little spoonful and test it to see if it's soft inside, if it's still hard and undercooked just let it cook for another 5 minutes and repeat until it's good. That's what I do with pasta, anyway, and it's saved me from only discovering it's undercooked in the middle after I've plated it many times.
If the rice is already drained and cooled off you can also easily chuck it back into a pan with half a glass of water and put the lid on for another few minutes, but I guess with risotto it's already mixed in with the rest so maybe not so useful.

So far I'm making a banoffee pie and waiting for the crust to cool down to room temperature so that I can put the caramel in it. After that I plan to:
1)put the banoffee pie in the fridge for 4 hours
2)Take the banoffee pie out of the fridge and put the banana slices in
3)make the whipped cream (I don't have an electric mixer, so this will take a while. I plan to do this 30 minutes before I take the banoffee pie out of the fridge)
4)add the whipped cream on top
5)struggle to get the banoffee pie out of the baking tin due to stupidity
6)enjoy

i really love lemon tarts but i am too scared to ingest so many calories.

instead, i found this recipe – 1 cup greek yogurt + 2 eggs + lemon juice and lemon zest + (optional but i put it so i don't have to use sugar) mango puree .. blended and poured into an (optional) crust base that i make with either biscuits or with cocoa powder + oats + nuts + dates (no butter, dates and nuts do the trick) .. you can make it without the crust as well. then bake for 45 mins and cool in fridge.

don't feel guilty for eating it, relatively high in protein, and it really tastes good imo.

I'll tell you of a pasta recipe my dad taught me. Get fusilli pasta. Get half a pound or so of ground Italian sausage (or can be whole sausages, as long as they're uncooked and you can squeeze 'em out of the casings). Turn on the water for the pasta. Throw some olive oil in a pot (not a skillet, a pot, you're gonna combine all the ingredients together), crank up heat to medium. Once the oil's shimmering, throw the ground sausage in there. Brown it, and break it up into small, bite-sized pieces. Then take it out of the pot and put it in a bowl or something.
WHILE you're cooking the meat, throw the pasta into the now-boiling water. Get some rapini (2-3 stalks will do), chop it up into bite-sized pieces, including the heads. Get half a cup cup of warm water, add 1 tsp. of chicken broth to it, mix it up. Thinly slice up a clove or two of garlic. Add garlic to pot (still has sausage fat/olive oil in it) and cook it, then add the rapini. Saute the rapini briefly, then add the chicken stock. Cover it with a lid. The rapini will cook down (squeeze it with your fingers, make sure it's soft but not sludgy). Once it has, remove the lid, reduce the liquid down, throw the meat back in, drain the pasta, add that in, and mix it all up. Add a little more olive oil, some salt and pepper, and pepper flakes for extra style points.

Sautéed veggies? I don't think they take that much and there are a lot of sauces to condiment them with. My comfort food for when I'm feeling like shit and don't want to cook is rice/noodles with sautéed vegetables (it can be with everything seriously, peppers, onions, garlic, eggplant, zucchini, etc) + soy sauce + ground ginger + salt. Very basic but tasty and simple imo

I know it’s not quite as healthy as eating plain veggies, but I usually roast them in the oven with a bit of olive oil (and various seasonings). You can obviously only use a small amount of oil if you’re watching calories. Toss some broccoli on a sheet pan with olive oil, garlic, salt/pepper, a little lemon juice, roast for 25 mins or so, and you’ve got a very easy/delicious side dish. Add a bit of parm cheese and it’s even better. Green beans I usually roast with only olive oil and crushed rosemary. I also love roasted spaghetti squash with saucey main dishes, it’s kind of a plain flavor by itself but it goes great with BBQ sauce. Any kind of roasted vegetable dish is pretty easy because you just toss with oil/seasonings and let it cook. Brussel sprouts are also delicious pan-fried or roasted with garlic and a splash of balsamic vinegar. It depends on your tastes of course, but I love veggies with a fuckton of garlic.

im trying to make a sourdough starter for almost 2 weeks now but it doesnt look "spongy"(like picrel) i dont know what i'm doing wrong. First 2 days it smelled absolutely rancid it smelled like vomit, then i started using cold tap water(apparently my house is too hot) then smell went away, it still smelled acidic but not like vomit, it gets some bubbles at the top usually so i assumed it was alive but it didnt pass the float test so i kept feeding, i forgot to feed it for 2 days now it smells like yogurt(in a good way) but no bubbles so i think its dead. It doesnt rise as it should, I'm gonna post my feeding schedule and take pics tomorrow morning(to give an accurate visual because i just fed it 15 mins ago) i'd appreciate it if an anon could tell me where i went wrong
-discard until 70g of previous starter is left(i discard about 180g)
-50 g whole wheat flour+50g of regular flour+100-150g of cold water(some days it becomes too watery and there's too much hooch at the top so i put less water those days)

I'm planning on making these Chelsea buns sometime soon. the combo of orange and chocolate is one of my favs

for the dough
✔️ 600g strong white bread flour
✔️ 12g fast action/instant yeast
✔️ 12g salt
✔️ 75g caster sugar
✔️ 2 large eggs
✔️ 1 heaped tsp cinnamon
✔️ 1 tsp orange extract (or zest two oranges)
✔️ 245ml whole milk (semi-skimmed is fine if not)
✔️ 60g unsalted butter, softened

For the filling:

✔️ 80g unsalted butter
✔️ 110g caster sugar
✔️ 160g dark or milk chocolate
✔️ 30g cocoa powder
✔️ Zest two oranges

For the orange icing:

✔️ 100g icing sugar, sifted
✔️ Squeeze of orange juice until you get a thick but pourable consistency

You do it likes this:

1. Make the dough. Combine the flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon and yeast in a bowl. Add the milk, orange extract and butter. Knead for 5 minutes if using a stand mixer or 8-10 minutes by hand until the dough is smooth and you can see light through it. Leave to proof in a greased bowl covered in cling film until doubled in size.

2. Make the filling. Add the butter, caster sugar and chocolate to a medium sized saucepan. Once melted, take off the heat, sieve in the cocoa powder and combine. Leave to cool.

3. Once the dough has proved, roll it out to a 40 x 40cm square. Spread the chocolate paste onto the dough along with the zest of two large oranges. Roll up the dough tightly to create a sausage shape, then divide into 10 or 12 portions. Arrange each bit of dough (swirl side up) on a lined/greased baking tray, cover loosely and leave to proof again. Once doubled in size, bake at 170 fan for 15-18 minutes.

4. Once the rolls have cooled slightly, make the glaze by squeezing the orange juice into a bowl with the (sieved) icing sugar and stir until you get a thick but pourable consistency. Spread over the rolls generously and then op with more grated orange zest. Best enjoyed fresh the same day. Enjoy!

I get that, but its to help prevent the fish from drying out during the cooking process. Certain foods will require more than others, but you won't end up tasting it in the end.

-1 Teaspoon of baking soda
-pinch of salt

-Combine dry ingridients, then wet ingridients, combine all together until incorporated
-Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes.

This isn't a direct inquiry into cooking or baking recipes, but rather on self-cleaning ovens. Have you guys used the feature if you have it? I've heard some scary stories about blown fuses after using the feature and I get put off using it. Additionally, I heard that you shouldn't hand clean self-cleaning ovens as they have a special coating that comes off with cleaning products. I would love to use my oven but anxiety around that feature is keeping me off from using it.

No. 213156

My favorite way to clean an oven is using a baking soda paste. You just mix baking soda with water, leave it on for an hour or overnight (depending on the grime), and it’s pretty easy to clean off in the morning. I recommend using a lot of baking soda and leaving it overnight. There are a bunch of tutorials online if you google it, although I’d recommend looking at a couple different ones just to get an idea before you do it. I was also always told not to use the self-cleaning feature on the oven for some reason (why do they even include it if no one uses it? kek) but since the baking soda method is so cheap and easy, I never really strayed from it.

It also helps to line your bottom rack with foil, depending on what you’re cooking. There are things like silicone spill mats too. The best way is keeping your oven clean as you go, wipe up any spills or crumbs as soon as it’s cooled down so you don’t need to do a “big cleaning” every few months.

I searched the thread and didn't see a ramen post yet. I'm a decent home cook at best, but this recipe really helped me understand cooking more . It took about 13 hours for me to do, but it's somewhat hands off. It's well worth the time and makes about 2 weeks worth of servings for 2 people. If you want to dive into authentic ramen (shoyu for this recipe) this is a great place to start. This website and youtube has a bunch of great recipes too.

This recipe has a few ingredients that are specialty and you have to buy first, but once you have them in the house, you just need to top up on rice, vegetables and chicken to make the meal again, and it's very tasty.

I want to make a shepherd's pie for dinner next week. The recipe makes enough for a 7x11, but I only have a 9x13 pan (which I regret buying ugh it's way too big). I know I could just increase the recipe to fit the pan, but I'm an idiot and can't tell by how much I should increase it. So I'm also wondering… If I only fill the pan partway and bake it would that affect the cooking process? Like would the side not touching the pan burn or something?

you can use the 9x13 it just wont fill up as much and it might bake a little faster. shepherd's pie is pretty forgiving though so as long as you keep an eye on it, it probably won't burn. probably just shave a few minutes off the cooking time.

I think I'm gonna make black bean brownies this weekend. To be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of brownies or chocolate, but I loooooooove these. I don't know what it is about them. I think it's because they're chocolatey but not overtly rich so it's easier to eat them for me. I looove the texture of them. I first saw them when EatYourKimchi made a video on them. Mine didn't come out as firm as Martina's (nor did it firm up that much in the fridge) but still delicious!

It's an easy recipe and a healthier alternative to regular brownies, but it does not taste like it's healthy at all. I've made these and fed them to coworkers who cringe at salads and greens (i.e the unhealthiest fuckers you could ever imagine) and they couldn't believe they were made with black beans.

Never put your sugar and eggs together first by themselves. You’ll burn the eggs and your batter will taste off.
Chill your batter before you bake if you use butter. The butter needs to resolidify through the dough so the cookies bake evenly.
Little fruit juice and fresh chopped fruit made the night before makes a very good fruit salad.
Never Reboil the same kettle of water twice. You’ll make your tea flat.
Let me know if you want more.

You can water bath cheese cakes using a spring form pan and double tinfoil lining it inside a larger pan with hot water. This will keep cakes like cheesecakes from getting too dry while baking and cracking.
You can make “boiled eggs” in a air fryer by putting them in at 270 for 15 minutes and them dropping them in ice.
Make sure your pan is hot before you drop meat in you want to hear it sizzle to get a sear. If your cooking meat like chicken and it sticks to the pan the sear isnt done. Give it a minute and when the outside finishes you’ll be able to lift easier. There’s a sweet spot for cooking meat.
Using stock and a red sauce for stew is a tasty full base. I like using beef stock with half a jar of tomato basil and some jalapeños and then throw in whatever the meat and veggies are.
For baking. Maple syrup is my secret weapon. A table spoon or two and it keeps my dough together.
If you’re using garlic to make thing likes garlic butter or such. Roast in the oven first. Take your cloves put them in the oven for 20-25 minutes in the skin then take them out pop those bad guys out and you can use it on meat, veggies or mix it with butter, Parmesan and a little oregano and make garlic bread.

Protein and a veggie. Normally steak and zucchini or broccoli. Throw it in a pan. Sear outside of steak. Finish in oven while you sauté veggie.
Toast and jam as a snack.
Pot stickers or dumplings boiled in stock so it’s like soup.
Fried rice with a rice cooker. Steam veggies in top. Too birds one stone or use left over rice and microwave veggies.
Chopped potatoes onion and bell pepper. Cooked in the oven for 45 minutes. With oil, salt, black pepper, red pepper, and Italian style herbs. Can eat with ketchup. Can also add spicy sausage if you want a meat.
Air fryers are great to make batches of fries or potatoes easy. I also make apple cinnamon chips, “boiled” eggs, and stuff really easy in them.
I have a large pressure cooker and a small one. And I find it really easy to throw a main meal like stew or pot roast in the big one in like 20 minutes and rice in the little and you can have meals for days. Kek
I’m sure there’s more I forgot. I wish you luck in your food quest.

Here’s an almond butter one very close to what I do. I just eyeball it now though. But they’re very good chilled. They’re rich, creamy, and smooth.
https://www.veganricha.com/chocolate-avocado-freezer-fudge/
There’s a lot of variations of this but this is the one I normally reference since it’s simple and highly rated.
You can also always chocolate dip different fruits or dried fruit like banana chips.
Chocolate pots are very simple. It’s just coconut milk and chocolate melted together on the stove. Then either eat it warm or chill it and top it with your choice. Berries. Crumbled cookies. Coconut. Almonds. Honey. Whatever your poison is.
I use Bob’s one to one baking mix to sub in for normal cakes and add maple syrup so it doesn’t end up too dry.
Being Human has good dark chocolate bars with different add ins like cashew butter and mint and things too. I like the hazelnut bar the best.

It's my second time attempting to make something with enriched sweet dough and I think I'm on the right track. It's taking a long, long time to rise but I think it's going to work out. I was hoping it would be done today but I think I'll leave it to rise overnight. Anyway, here's the recipe:

400 g AP flour
80 g melted butter or margarine
70 g sugar
one packet of vanilla sugar
150 ml milk
2 egg yolks
half a packet of instant dry yeast or 20 g fresh yeast
pinch of salt
zest of a lemon
50 ml warm water
optional: 75 g raisins

Mix a tablespoon of flour, pinch of sugar and warm water with yeast. Leave it for 30 minutes. Soak raisins in rum, milk or water. Massage sugar and lemon zest for a minute until fragrant. Mix flour, sugar and zest, butter, egg yolks and salt. Add the yeast mixture and knead until dough is no longer sticky, about 5 to 7 minutes. It should be smooth, uniform and dense. Cover bowl with a damp tea towel and let rise until doubled in size. Drain raisins and pat dry. After the dough has risen, flatten it out on a work surface and sprinkle the raisins. Pull each corner of the dough towards the center to envelope the raisins and create a ball shape. Knead for 5 minutes. Shape into a three strand braid or a two strand twist. Place on baking tray lined with parchment paper, loosely cover with cling film and let it rise for a second time, for about an hour to two hours. When it's ready, brush with egg wash and bake at 350 F/176 C for 30 to 35 minutes.

What are your favorite chicken soup recipes, nonas? I've never made it before, but wanna make it for my nigel who has the man-flu. Soups are one of my favorite foods, so I'm getting too excited imagining the possibilities. I was thinking of making it a bit hot using curry paste and different spices, but would love to hear what people enjoy the most.

Sometimes making more of a soupy casserole does more good because the nutrients are locked in. Whereas if you just plonk it in some water with a stock cube you don't let it simmer and get the goodness from the vegetables.

Would it be possible to make wide pulled noodles with potato flour? How would it affect the extensibility of the dough?
I'm specifically going for a sort of potato-ey taste, and I've read that potato flour has more of one than potato starch, but I've only seen potato starch used for noodles. Should I mix it with some other type of flour?
Also, if I pour hot oil over it like biang biang noodles, will it work differently to using wheat noodles?

Thanks for the advice anons! Soup update. Simmered chicken thighs for 4 hours and I’ve never seen so tender chicken meat in my life before. Next time I want to try for the whole day to extract even more flavor, and I also wanna use more spices. I went a bit easy on the spices this time because I didn’t know how much flavor bf could handle when he's sick. I made my own curry paste using tomato paste, lots of garlic, a bit of ginger, the spices I wanted to use, salt, lime juice and olive oil. Fried the paste quickly in a pot with some chopped carrots and celeriac, added the homemade broth and then put some halved onions into the soup. I just learned that if you don’t enjoy cooked onion you can cut them in half and let them soak in the soup, it will extract the flavor but you can avoid eating them later on. Added the chicken meat, then salt and pepper to taste. It was a subtle but enjoyable flavor.

Clever food science nonnies please help me here!

I was disappointed to realise that edible cookie dough is meant to be room temperature and not something like ice cream. How could I alter a recipe to make it so that it's soft and scoopable when frozen, instead of a brick?

Everything I can think of to affect the texture will also affect the flavor. Alcohol or salt, to lower the freezing point… whipped cream or condensed milk or yoghurt…

Is this just impossible? I've looked at a lot of "cookie dough ice creams" and they're all vanilla with cookie dough chunks- would making an ice cream with butter and toasted flour work? Would gluten fuck up the texture, could I use a flour substitute that might taste different or mimic gluten, would blending flour like a no-churn recipe fuck up the texture in the same way? Since the flour would thicken it and edible cookie dough is eggless anyway, would the ice cream be eggless too?
And much of the difference is that ice cream tastes much more of dairy than cookie dough but cookies aren't meant to be custard…

When I make buttercream and the butter is not whipped enough, the sugar doesn't really dissolve and the texture after I leave it to set in the fridge comes out really wonky. Like too hard, almost crumbly but spreadable at the same time ? But when I make it right even cold it remains very creamy, airy and soft. All of this to say, if you make your own cookie dough for this you might be able to achieve something by beating/whipping the butter as if you were making buttercream. I don't know how it would affect the taste but I'm hopeful it might help with chilling at least at fridge temp

I impulse bought a couple of octopus tentacles but now I don't know what to do with them. I already ate one by marinating it in some teriyaki sauce and grilling it for a short while, but it was honestly pretty underwhelming. Normally I love octopus but these are clearly not the best quality so eating them how I normally like them, with minimal processing or additions like picrel, doesn't work very well. I still have two tentacles left, they're pre-cooked and kind of slimey. Anyone have some idea about how to prepare them or incorporate them into a dish?

I recently started cooking seafood sometimes after years of only cooking vegetarian food in my house (spouse is a lifelong vegetarian). Shrimp and scallops are easy, never really had trouble thinking up things to make with them, but when I started cooking tilapia filets I was a little lost. However I think I came up with a good recipe:
>approx 1/3 of a green cabbage and
>1 onion
>cut into chunks (bite size but not too small)
>cook in a skillet on medium with a little bit of olive oil for a few minutes
Add:
>diced garlic and ginger
>cook a bit more until you have some browning starting to happen but don't let the cabbage and onion get totally soft.
>Dilute a big spoonful of gochujang in some water (like in a little bowl) & add that to the cabbage skillet, stirring to coat all the vegetables.
>push the cabbage to the sides of the skilled, clearing a space in the middle to put 1-2 tilapia fillet (like picrel). simmer for a few minutes per side, until the fish is cooked through.
Notes: 1.) you don't need a lot of oil it's more for flavor, if I didn't have nice olive oil right now I wouldn't even bother with oil; 2.) one edge of the fillet is always thinner, I usually rest that edge on top of some cabbage so it doesn't cook too fast while the thick part is cooking.
It tastes really good, very satisfying and healthy. Also works well with eggplant instead of cabbage. My only complaint is it looks a mess once it's all cooked because the tilapia just falls apart. I've been eating it by itself but it would probably be good with rice or rice noodles.

My Mom has a a gluten intolerance, so I make tons of baked goods with oat flour. Actually improvised this recipe from an old blog 10 years ago.

Yields: 12

Oatmeal Brownies

Dry Ingredients:
2 cups oat flour** (refer to notes if you want to make your own)
1/2 cup sugar
2 Tbsp baking powder
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (Don't use Dutch, the acidity makes this taste much more different)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup milk chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1 cup Greek yogurt
4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 tsp vanilla extract

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C)
2. Line a 8x8 inch baking pan with baking parchment, set aside.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the oat flour, sugar, baking powder, cocoa, and salt.
4. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk milk, Greek yogurt, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture until just incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips. If the batter is too thick, add more milk until it reaches the consistency of muffin batter.
6. With a rubber spatula, spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, and
the center feels firm to the touch.

**Notes:
You can create your own oat flour by processing oats in a food processor, and sifting the grain through.

Technically, you could just make them and skip the icing or topping that's recommended in the recipe. It has no butter, so not that fattening as far as the batter goes.

Egg and tomato stir fry, egg and kimchi fried rice are so easy and no-brainers for me, not to mention they taste comforting. I try to keep pre-sliced/diced onions in a tupperware so I don't have to cry each time either - and they last pretty long as long as you keep them dry, like around 2 weeks or longer.
Sometimes I'll throw a potato (or freezer fries) in the microwave and load it up w as many ingredients as I can be assed to: cheese, ground beef/sausage (pre-cooked), chopped/ripped lettuce, sauce, etc.
I also "cheat" at making the dumpling soup as shown in the video by microwaving the dumplings and adding them to stock I'll also microwave. But if boiling on a stove top, I like cracking in a few eggs and immediately breaking it apart to get a kind of egg-drop soup look, it looks and feels more luxurious that way and cheers me up.

I found the whole glutinous rice flour paste step confusing and tedious (plus it's hard to source rice flour where I live) until I realized it can be replaced with basically any starch and it's just for texture and to feed the fermentation bacteria. You could literally just leave it out if you wanted, too, it would probably just ferment slower without the boost.
Also if you can't find those korean red pepper flakes it's fine. They have nothing to do with the fermentation they're just for color and flavor. They sell something called "white kimchi" in the store and it's just kimchi without the flakes lol, it's still kimchi.
Basically it boils down to three parts:
>salt/rinse the cabbage
>make a paste with all flavors you want, chop other add-ins
>mix everything together and wait
I'm vegetarian so I use miso paste and seaweed for my savory "fish" flavor and that works well. People make it seem complicated but it's a very forgiving food, the bacteria is doing all the work.

NTA - jumping in to mention that one thing that helps easy/depression meals feel less…depressing is having a good selection of condiments to dress them up with. Herbs are cheap, and if you wrap them in a paper towel at the store or once you get home they last for way longer in the fridge. Making pickled jalapenos or onions is easy as fuck and you can customize the flavourings (peppercorns, bay leaves, garlic, coriander, mustard seed, etc) to fit your preferences. Get some pumpkin or sesame or whatever seeds you like too, and sprinkle liberally over dishes to finish them. Even something as bland and simple as yoghurt with pita can become a colourful dish with lots of variety in texture and flavour if you just keep throwing stuff in it.

Also, I like to get some hardy leafy greens like kale, chinese broccoli, broccoli (not leafy but you get what I mean kek) and so on, blanch them when I have time, and then add them into other dishes for colour/bulk/nutrition. They keep for about a week in the fridge, and if you know how to make namul just about every green vegetable tastes good prepared that way. For broccoli, I've found that if you add sesame oil directly into the blanching water (do NOT rinse the veg after dumping the water out), it tastes a lot better than if you add the sesame oil after removing the broccoli from the boiling water. IMHO blanching is pretty much the easiest way to make and eat green vegetables if you don't always feel like having fresh salads.

Kimchi is so easy to make. Like
>>382058 I use a recipe from Maangchi but I do the classic Tongbaechu kimchi with fermented shrimp paste (I have like three Asian markets downtown which helps). I make a batch with two or three napa cabbages and have enough for 12-18 months of supplies, including giving some to friends if they want to try it.
One thing I have to advise anyone about is if you're a skin around the fingernails-biter like I am, don't make kimchi with fresh open wounds. Salting the napa cabbage leaves with wounds on your fingers is the most painful thing I've ever done. Wear gloves if you have that same bad habit to manipulate the kimchi with salt.

My next attempt at fermentation will be pickles because there are no vinegary pickles where I live and I can't always go back to my home country to buy 2 1kg jars of pickles.

Anyone else like collecting those vintage junior league cookbooks? Every time I visit a new town I try to pick up an old local. There's a lot of overlap in recipes but it's almost a historical record of the local populations; for example just the books from my state you can map which towns have German, Polish, Cajun etc descendants based on the recipes that get passed down, it's so fascinating to me. Anyways I made some date and pecan cookies today, they're not pretty but they taste good kek. I really need to invest in an ice cream scoop or something so I can get equally sized and shaped cookies

and here's the recipe I used. I mixed the dry ingredients first, melted the butter, and added powdered sugar on top but otherwise followed it exactly. I may experiment with adding other spices like cloves or ginger next time

Nta, that's just the nature of bread, it's happens due to the moisture evaporating over time. You can experiment with different means of storing bread, but you can't avoid it getting denser as days go by. If you store bread in a plastic bag it will retain the most moisture, but at the expense of the crust and it gets kinda soggy. Other ways to store bread is inside a tin box with the cut off end facing down, which preserves the crust better but loses more moisture than plastic bagged bread. A lot of people also recommend wrapping bread in a linen or cotton bag/towel.

I used to bake a lot of sourdough bread, which holds up better than commercial yeast bread. I find commercial yeast bread has a very prominent yeast smell and flavor that gets stronger as days go by, whereas sourdough becomes more acidic which I enjoy, and I don't nescessarily mind the bread getting a bit tough. Sourdough also holds moisture for a bit longer. Once the bread gets very hard you can toast it, use it as a side for soups, make crutons or use it in recipes that calls for breadcrumbs (the crutons/crumbs can be stored in a glass jar for a while). If you have a freezer you can also try slicing your bread and storing loaves separately in plastic bags, then thaw them in the oven as needed. Nowadays I don't bake loaves as much anymore, but I love to make a big batch of sourdough breadrolls and store them in my freezer. When I thaw them in the oven they are almost as good as when freshly baked. It's easier when you're one person than baking a wholeass bread.

I often use this receipe as a guideline for breadrolls, but frequently change it up depending on which flour I have on hand and so on: http://breadandcompanatico.com/2013/07/20/bread-for-breakfast-foolproof-sourdough-rolls/ You can make them with commercial yeast as well, just use a very small amount.

Same anon. It tasted pretty good for a 2nd attempt. The recipe I used is no-knead. I just made sure I did not overmix it. I baked it in an Emile Henry French Ceramic Bread Cloche. For recipes that require kneading, I use the dough hook in a stand mixer for 3-5 minutes, whenever it looks smooth.

>my bread become super, super dense after sitting for a day after baking


>Is it because I'm not kneading enough maybe?


NEVER over knead dough. It become real dense as a result. Even if the recipe says 5 minutes, it can get done quicker than that. Once it looks smooth and is well combined, take it out. You are probably overdoing it. Most bread I make I let it rise overnight. If it requires something like 8-10 hours of rising, I let it rise for the specified time. Then I put in the fridge up to 3 days. Whenever I want to bake it, I let it thaw for about 60 minutes before baking. What I usually do is freeze my bread right after it cools in a freezer bag, if there's any leftover. It tastes the same if you use that method, long as it's not freezer burned. I will say, it takes a while to get bread right. Been doing it for years. If you're lucky, it may just come out perfect. But you gotta practice this unlike cupcakes and muffins. Here's the link to the baking dish I used if you're interested. https://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/emile-henry-bread-cloche/

Internet Shaquille is one of the only food content creators I follow. Knows what he's doing and his videos respect your time.

I'm planning on spending this year trying to elevate my cooking (not a beginner, just trying something new) by truly understanding the fundamentals of how it works, and to that end want to do a lot of culinary reading. Any nonna here have book recommendations? Nonfiction surrounding culinary culture and very specific areas of cooking are also welcome.
So far I've read Salt Fat Acid Heat, The Food Lab, and Taste Makers.

I baked a gluten free rhubarb and strawberry Clafoutis to eat at work with my colleagues.
It was my first time and since I'm still recovering from being sick and didn't want to spend an hour in the kitchen, I used a hand mixer, which separated the milk from all the other ingredients somehow. There was so much liquid that I had to dump down my kitchen sink so that it doesn't become a puddle in the oven, it felt very wasteful. Next time I'm going to put the milk at the beginning with the sugar and eggs, that way it should stay stable. We'll see how it tastes at work today.

Non-US nonnas, got any ideas for cream cheese replacements in baking recipes? I love making icing out of it for cinnamon buns and carrot cakes but it's very rarely available in shops where I live, and even then it's super expensive. I used to do this retarded thing where I combined quark (treated to a few rounds in a blender) with heavy cream to create something similar in taste and texture but it always turns dry and develops cracks after a few hours in the fridge.

Salad and salad dressing. Easiest thing in the world:
> Take glove of garlic, peel it, crush it, put it in salad bowl
> drizzle some balsamic vinegar on it (important to do this because the vinegar absorbs the flavor of the garlic)
> add salt and pepper
> add olive oil, proportions should be 3:1 olive oil to vinegar

Then add lettuce and toss. Wham bam.

Ayrt, late, but I actually like the way it tastes. It tastes "healthy" and is better than soda, more refreshing and actually has some nutritional values. I used to drink sugary flavored ones, especially pomegranate and green apple, which aren't bad but have too much sugar, so I picked up non-flavored ones and started drinking them with lemon slices and mint leaves for flavor, but eventually got used to the actual taste and I actually love it now. It differs from brand to brand ofcourse but to me it's very delicious. I also drink non-sweetened non-alcoholic red wine and white wine, and sometimes unsweetened kambucha. I just like the fermented taste.

How do I make and peel soft boiled eggs? I’m on my period and I’m craving ramen eggs, but I can’t make a proper soft boiled egg to save my life, and when I make it right, I fuck up the peeling. Anons, I am weeping in my kitchen because all I want is the savory goodness of a ramen egg, but I can’t even make that.

Boil the egg for less than 8 minutes. Let the water boil first before adding the egg, and add some vinegar and salt to the water to prevent the shell from cracking. Once the timer is up, fish it out of the water and put it in an ice path, as in cold ice water, and let it cool down a bit. This will stop the cooking process and would hopefully not make the shell stuck to the egg anymore. Once it's cold enough, roll it gently on the counter to crack the shell, then start peeling away, try to avoid the thin layer of skin that can stick to the egg and chip off it when you pull it along the shell though. I saw some people use the handle side of spoons to peel their eggs but I've never done that before.

Wow I have a completely different method from the other comment. Put the egg in the pot with tepid water (whatever temp comes out of the faucet), bring it to a boil, when the water boils cover it, turn it off, and let it sit for 3-5 minutes, then dump the pot out through a colander and plunge the eggs in cold water or ice water to stop the cooking process.
>>409185
In my experience if you literally boil it for 8 full minutes it will be nearly or actually hard boiled. Also adding an egg to a boiling pot makes it so easy to crack it when you could just gently set it in the pot before anything is hot and not risk cracking it and not have to do weird vinegar shit that literally would not help the shell not crack. Seriously what old wives tales are you smoking that you think salt and vinegar is going to keep an egg shell from cracking due to blunt force?

When you peel a boiled egg you want to crack and peel from the wide end. The membrane comes off better that way without taking chunks of the egg white.

I kinda combined these two:

https://peanutbutterandjulie.com/grilled-peach-upside-down-cake/ (Ignore that it says upside-down peach cake lol)
I used the proportions of the first one, but then stole shit from the second one. So I added 1/3 cup of brown sugar and 1/3 cup of white sugar. Didn't add cardamom or orange juice 'cause that's tryhard shit, but I did add a bit of cinnamon. Cut down the heavy cream from the second recipe to 3/4 cup ('cause I know I will inhale this whole thing by myself so I need to cut back on the fat lol).

There are foods that go best with something carbonated to refresh adn I don't like sweets (soda is out) but want some body to the drink (carbonated water is out). Beer remains. I also just love the taste of beer, so I really miss it after quitting drinking. Socially too, I feel more left out and tempted to drink if I'm just having something like a soda while everybody else indulges.
