 Thank you for your interest.  I have not yet tried Sous Vide but I’m certainly willing to add it to my list of future experiments.  As for the texture analyzer, it may have to wait until next Christmas.

Hmmm.   After a 2nd cup of coffee to make sure I’m awake I’m having some serious doubts about this recipe. The ratio of egg to stock is certainly off by most other Japanese recipes. Chicken stock is certainly not the usual liquid preferred. Will do further research.

What ratio do you use?   I typically use about half a cup of fluid per egg, but it is by no means perfect.  This seems to be the same ratio that Serious Eats uses:

When Kids come home, I bribe for more frequent visits with treats my Mom used to make for them. This morning, we had my Mom's Steamed Chinese cake. I haven't made this for quite a while, but I still use the old wicker basket passed down from my Mom, along with her recipe. The basket came with us from Hong Kong, 1958! Think it might be time to retire it. Cake is best enjoyed with a glass of ice cold milk or a cup of hot Jasmine tea.
                                                                  

                                                                  

 

                                                                  
                                            

That basket doesn't owe you anything for sure!

Not a looker but I took a picture so I'm posting it. 

Leftover kabocha squash, cavalo nero and farro, a cooked and crumbled sausage patty and a boiled egg. 

[kayb]

I would have taken a photo, but I forgot. 

 

Leftover from yesterday cherry almond coconut muffins, split, spread with butter and toasted in the CSO. I make muffins every Sunday morning for my Sunday school class, and have gradually taken on a mission of trying new muffin recipes. This one has dried cherries, flaked coconut and slivered almonds; I took it on myself to add almond flavoring instead of vanilla. These suckers were GOOD.  Recipe is from The Ultimate Muffin  Book, by Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarborough, which I bought a week or so. Next week's version, I think, will be the lemon ginger muffins from the same book.

 

So there were two of the cherry almond coconut ones left, and they became breakfast today. I may have to give the lemon ginger ones a trial run before taking them to church; a quarter-cup of minced fresh ginger sounds like a LOT of ginger.

1:2.5 by volume. Eggs to broth.

Hmm...wonder what my tax refund will be like?

三鲜水饺 (sān xiān shuǐ jiǎo)

 

Three delicacy boiled jiaozi, delicacies being pork, shrimp and shiitake. With an aged  black vinegar dip.

@Shelby A spam can makes a fine mold

 

 And you could have a different can for every day.  

 

SPAM.

[chefmd]

Farmers cheese with raisins, pine nuts, pepitas, blackberries.

[Anna N]

 

I reserved a few mushrooms from dinner last night with a view to having them for breakfast this morning. They were foil-roasted with miso, sake, soy and butter.  I reheated them this morning and enjoyed them over some rice.

[blue_dolphin]

Twice-baked collard potatoes from Deep Run Roots

Baked potato flesh is scooped out, riced and mixed with creamed collards and crème fraîche, then stuffed back into the shells.  They're browned, cut-side down in a cast iron skillet before being heated through in the oven.

Topped with a boiled egg (which is not part of the recipe) and pickled collard stems (which are.)

[Anna N]

 

Niratama donburi. Basically an omelet with garlic chives over rice. The eggs are cooked in an abundance of oil at a high temperature. This is almost the same as a Thai omelette.

I like the idea of miso and mushrooms.

 

What type/brand of miso do you use, Anna?

[Ann_T]

Moe's Breakfast.

 

Fried chicken with pepper cream gravy and scrambled egg.

 I have usually 2 to 3 types on hand. I am no expert on miso  and I don’t pretend to be. At the moment in my refrigerator is awase, the one I use most frequently, hatcho (mame) and shiro.

More creamed collards from Deep Run Roots

Unseen at the bottom of the pile is a potato patty I made from extra twice-baked collard potato stuffing, coated with French fried onion pieces and baked until crispy on the outside.  It was then  topped with more creamed collards, a boiled egg and pickled collard stems.

[kayb]

@blue_dolphin -- I will cheerfully bequeath to you my share of all the collards in the world. Any other green, too, with the exception of spinach, which I like raw in a salad but don't care for cooked.

 

Still not sure how I managed to grow up poor, in the south, in the country, and hate greens, but I do.

 

[lindag]

I remember as kids when, in the Midwest, there was little fresh veg available, my brother loved canned spinach...probably the Popeye effect.  I couldn't, and still can’t, abide it.  Fresh is different.

[shain]

Oatmeal with peanut butter, banana, orange zest and nutmeg. Banana and pecans candied in silan.

 

[Ann_T]

Moe's breakfast.

 Fettuccine Natasha.  Recipe from a Toronto restaurant 
that we use to go to a lot when we lived in Toronto.  

Made with smoked salmon.   I used linguine this morning.

 

[robirdstx]

Late breakfast this morning ~ leftover Bacon-wrapped Shrimp (reheated in the CSO) and Lime Butter

 

[blue_dolphin]

From Shaya, Mom's Leek Patties (leek & potato) topped with an egg

I started to rummage in the fridge for some tomato chutney but then remembered this came from Shaya so I grabbed the harissa instead.

Anything with collards and I’m there.  Looks delicious
