A pictorial guide to Chinese cooking ingredients
JoNorvelleWalker replied to a topic in China: Cooking & Baking
I recently ordered some Indian ginseng. I haven't tried it. How is Asian ginseng different from US ginseng? -
Here is the brand of Koji I purchased... (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) That was seven years ago. I must have mentioned what I used it for somewhere on eGullet. But as I recall I liked whatever it was.
-
I believe I've used some. I forget for what.
-
I am confused? To the best of my knowledge I have never possessed nor used an enameled steel paella. Years ago when I would occasionally cook for company I made paella in a large stainless steel Cuisinart. Last time was possibly in 1999 or 2000. No problem with that Cuisinart pan other that I am not trying to feed eight people.
-
Because I have a paella from Argentina. I've never been to Spain, although I've been close enough to see it. By Spain were you suggesting a paella of enameled steel?
-
I gave up on my Darto. Paella invariably destroyed the seasoning. For paella I now use Falk.

Kitchen Things I Can't Believe I Didn't Know About

Last year I got this slider for my heavier KitchenAid (and yes, I have two KitchenAids)... (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) They really work well. -
Are you sure you and the oven are speaking the same temperature scale?
-
I buy instant yeast by the pound. I store the opened packages in a sealed jar in the freezer door. Unopened, to my experience, the SAF yeast packages last forever at room temperature.

Here, for example... https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/saf-gold-instant-yeast SAF yeast is available almost everywhere.

Sorbet in blast freezer. Final measured Brix was 30.9. -

Where X is the weight of preserves I believe the correct equation is: 28 = (16*420 + 65*X) / (420+X) I can rearrange that to: X = 2.32*X - 180 Is it possible to directly solve for X? -
The soup actually got made sometime later. As I recall it was OK. Not something that I would make again.

Thank you, @Alex. This afternoon, swapping caffeine for rum and rearranging the problem was a bit more clear. -
That carrot soup recipe is quite memorable. In addition to the carrots I sliced off the tip of my index finger.
