A pictorial guide to Chinese cooking ingredients
liuzhou replied to a topic in China: Cooking & Baking
Yes, we get those here, too. But the 'small red onions' above are not segmented at all; they are exactly like red onions but small. 5cm / 2 inches in diameter. -
https://www.ohkdog.com/menu I don't understand. Are these fried cheese/corn dogs? They look unappetizing. I wouldn't mind a kimchi dog at all though.
-
The hot dogs have been a thing for a while. This one on Ludlow Street opened a few years ago; it drew big crowds for a while; don't know if it still does. https://www.ohkdog.com/ With Katz's around the corner, I find very little reason to ever try a Korean hot dog.

I'm pretty sure that most of the apples currently being sold at any Trader Joe's were harvested last fall. Certainly, their peak texture and flavor has passed. And I would venture a guess that the same has happened to the apples being sold at Monterey Market...and most anywhere else.

I make a very similar recipe - the cost saving over buying the canned sauce is phenominal!
-
If you can find it, Oakridge Carne Crosta. Last time i checked it was $100/lb on ebay. I still have a stock pile i vacuum packed and froze when it was $30/lb. That said, Plowboys Bovine Bold would be my second choice.

They look similar, though more rounded and less segmented, to Laos and Northern Thai shallots. The common bulb allium consumed there - -
Thank you. I have a tri-tip in the freezer. I don't recall ever cooking a tri-tip I don't know how to cut one. Until now.

This is the recipe for enchilada sauce that I have used for years. Although the recipe calls for making it in a skillet, I often make it in the microwave. If you don't have the New Mexican chili powder, any good chili powder will work. I also sometimes add sour cream to it for a richer flavor. Ten Minute Enchilada Sauce A super speedy enchilada sauce with a truly authentic taste. 1/4 cup vegetable oil 2 tablespoons flour 1/4 cup New Mexico or California chili powder 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce 1-1/2 cups water 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon onion salt salt to taste Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in flour and chili powder, reduce heat to medium, and cook until lightly brown, stirring constantly to prevent burning flour. Gradually stir in tomato sauce, water, cumin, garlic powder, and onion salt into the flour and chili powder until smooth, and continue cooking over medium heat approximately 10 minutes, or until thickened slightly. Season to taste with salt.

Had been planning for Chicken Enchilada since we got disappointing take out from a local Mexican. I didn't make the sauce. We have a local Mexican / Latin grocery store that is well stocked. I might have to make my own sauce next time as the can was $6.99. However, we enjoyed supper with suateed bell peppers, mushrooms on top of the enchiladas and under the cheese. Sides were Cilantro Lime rice (Tilda packaged ready to warm in the oven), steamed green beans, and guacamole.

I do not. I usually just toss it together and eat it. I like the crunch of the fresh veg. If there are leftovers, the cabbage will indeed give off some liquid and I'll either drain it off or mix it in, depending on how it looks.
-
Ive had them, they were too firm and lacked the tartness of pink lady and honey crisp.
-
@blue_dolphin excellent ! do you salt , drain , rinse your cabbage before use ? its a lot of extra steps . for me these days , extra steps better sure be worth it
-
For my usual kimchi slaw, I just put some kimchi and kimchi juice in a bowl, use scissors to chop it up, add a little mayo and that's the dressing for a bunch of finely sliced cabbage and any other shredded veg (carrot, radish, turnip, broccoli stems, kohlrabi, etc) I want to use up. Now, today, I actually used a recipe in The Global Pantry Cookbook and more or less followed it: 1/3 cup mayo 1T toasted sesame oil 1t sugar 1/2 t salt 2 c finely sliced cabbage 3/4 c finely chopped scallions 1/2 cup finely chopped kimchi I eyeballed everything probably used less mayo and sesame oil and just a pinch of salt and sugar but you get the idea.
-
@blue_dolphin Id like to hear more about that kimchi slaw. thank you.
-
Salmon croquettes again. This time with kimchi slaw. Edited to add that I mixed up the croquettes yesterday and fried a few for breakfast. I put the mix in the fridge and this morning, I shaped and baked the rest of them so I have a few more to enjoy.

Commercial Dishwasher advice for Chocolate kitchen
YetiChocolates replied to a topic in Pastry & Baking
Yeah, given that I only just recently started washing my molds with dish soap, the idea of putting them through the dishwasher is an absolute hard pass. But not spending hours washing bowls, pots and utensils sounds appealing. -

Thanks for the info Rob, I passed it along to my landlord and he thought it was an excellent idea so hopefully we can find someone other than Sysco to use 🤞 -

My only foray into freeze dried coffee was to freeze dry a cold brew concentrate for a company I met at the restaurant show to provide proof it can be done. Can’t recall if it was any good

An interesting and amusing James Hoffman video about making your own freeze dried coffee. https://youtu.be/eRnonn7EhEc?si=JeG7iRrZ7aXqTJFa Any updates from those with freeze dryers? Lessons learned?

Pete Fred replied to a topic in Pastry & Baking
Flicking through an old cookbook, I was tickled to see a recipe for Simpson's Treacle Roll. Simpson's-in-the-Strand (now closed) was one of London's oldest restaurants and a bit of an institution, celebrated for its roast meats. This particular pudding seemed a little incongrous for a supposedly 'fancy' restaurant, being just a square of suet pastry spread with golden syrup, rolled up like a Swiss Roll and then steamed. I was under no illusions as to what it would turn out like, but I enjoy a bit of nostalgia... It was as imagined: soft, fluffy pastry that had soaked up the sticky syrup within. Nothing remarkable, but pleasant enough. The recipe said to serve with extra golden syrup, but it would be unimaginable that Simpson's didn't have a jug of custard to hand if requested... I found a menu from 1974, and there it was for the princely sum of 35p (80c)... 1970s London must have been pretty grim if this is what passed for fine-dining.
