I've been searching for this particular type of orange chicken since I was a little kid. It is orange chicken, but it's covered in this deep red sauce instead. The taste is a little sweeter and I much prefer it. The last place I knew to buy it at switched over to the orange sauce so now I need to make it on my own. Anyone have any clue?

>last place I knew to buy it at switched over to the orange sauce so
Can you post a picture of what it is you were buying?
>>9354738
Sure it wasn't sweet and sour?
Chinese restaurant up the road here(Alberta Canada) sells a similar looking dish called Mandarin chicken, it's fried chicken pieces in a spicy sweet mandarin orange sauce. It's hotter and sweeter than ginger beef if you know what that is, but that's kind of a local invention.
TOnight, I have cabbate sabzi, homemade flat bread, and some yogurt. All in all about 750 calories

Fuck off back to /fit/. You fucks are worse than vegans.
I'm in Houston and no stores are open because of the flooding, so it's beans.
Maybe I'll get fancy and poach an egg.
Some of you said this was the best San Pellegrino flavor and it was the only one I hadn't tried so I just drank one and it tasted like shit. Fuck you guys.
>>9354611
It is the best one, but it is made with quinine, so it's bitter and sweet at the same time. Sorry if your babby taste can't handle bitter.
What does it taste like? If it actually has quinine in it I want it.
>>9354611
You're a bitch.
For the people who have been to Shanghai or other big cities in China and the people who have eaten the bbq streetfood (on sticks) in the big cities, do any of you know what kind of seasoning those people use? I have been looking for the spices all over the place but I can't seem to find a recipe or even a name of those shitty spices anywhere
Just for clarification, it's the red seasoning which is usually used in huge plastic bottles and which looks like a powder (very hot in its taste).
Also, as a more general question, how many people on this board have actually eaten authentic Chinese food? I'm not talking about the shitty takeaway American/European food everyone is used to but some proper Chinese cooking
*sprinkles dingleberries over hot oil*
wa la!
shanghai street food!!
>>9354518
Chinese streetfood is actually pretty tasty. You would be amazed how good that stuff can taste, even if it's something as simple as bbq
>>9354514
Massive amounts of cumin. If you want to look it up search [meat] + 串. So for lamb, 羊肉串, for beef, 牛肉串, etc.
Working on a grilled cheese sandwich food truck concept right now.
Nice b8

Welcome to 2013 my man lmao

How much do uncooked lobster tails cost in the Midwest?
Do they cost more than on the west coast?
probably cost about the same. Costs a little more to get them there, but prices in general are less inflated and taxes are lower
CA lobster tails were $8.99 each. NM Lobster tails were $5.00 each. TX Lobster tails are 7.99 each. Yeah, theres something else at play here.
They're like $7 in ID
Lobster isnt really a west-coast item, it all gets sent over from the east coast so the price is inflated the farther west you are and the farther off you are from major transport highways.
Just got a dutch oven.
Is it okay to put it on the stove to make a potroast and close the lid entirely over it? If its not venting, wont it explode like a pressure cooker?
Someone explain this to me, google isnt helping.
If it got to the point of exploding, it would push the lid off, moron.
that's a moka pot, not a dutch oven. not recommended for potroasts
Is there any good restaurants in Atlanta or (anywhere close to 31558) somewhere im thinking about taking next weekend I'd like $30 a plate or less. Ive been to savannah a lot.

What's your favorite gas station food, /ck/?
I go to the gas station owned by the only arabs in town and eat their questionably prepared kebab hoagies all the time.
Fucking amazing.
chester's hot fries and a bottle of perrier if they carry it
>>9354357
i remember you from the last gas station thread i made
do you guys drink sodas in the shower? I love having a nice, cold, sprite with me when I clean off :)
>>9354161
No because I'm heterosexual.
One time, I bought a 6-pack of Red Stripe, put them in a bucket with ice, and sat in a bubble bath while drinking them.
>>9354161
Just beer and cold pizza
Is there currently no kitchen appliances brand that produces high end devices without fucking touch screens?
It is beyond my comprehension how someone could think it would be a good idea to use touch screens in a kitchen device. They are known to malfunction when wet and it is certainly slower and more annoying to navigate through a stupid menu instead of just turning a knob.
The only device I could find is pic related that at least has knobs in addition to the touch screen. But instead they have an automatic door that can only be opened slowly by the touch screen.
>>9354108
I kinda dig the fridges that have the screen that gives you an inventory and helps you with a grocery list, but even that seems like a chore.
you need to go commercial
>>9354127
I guess I wouldn't mind a screen in a fridge, as long as you don't need a pin to unlock and open it.
I kinda dig the fridges with interior cameras, so that you can check at the store what you are still missing. It's a pretty silly feature, but I really know this feel when you're not sure if there are still eggs in the fridge and then you don't buy them and it turns out you were all out.
How do I know my food is edible?
Is there a minimum time i should keep meat on the pan so i dont die from eating it?
Like, how do I know if it's time to take the chicken breast/beef/meat in general out of the pan?
>>9354087
>Like, how do I know if it's time to take the chicken breast/beef/meat in general out of the pan?
Use a thermometer or cut into the meat and look at the color change. Is it raw inside? Keep cooking.
i know people that eat raw meat, completely uncooked. as long as its good quality meat (and not chicken) you are fine no matter what. for chicken: just cut it in half to check in the inside and protip: dont flip the chicken more than once (very important!). let it cook on one side until it looks like 60-70% is done, then flip
eat it and if you die it's inedible
Where can I get some REALLY strong ginger beer? Theres a place near my house that sells this stuff, and its pretty good, but I want something REALLY spicy. I want this shit to hurt.
>>9354033
I'm going to world market to pick some up, they have a bunch of different kinds.
Pic related is pretty spicy
>this fucked my shit up
>>9354033
My Aldi sold me some. It was really spicy, but lacked the actual flavor that makes bundaberg good.
>barley know how to cook for myself
>mother makes burgers for family sometimes
>uses shitty publix meat
>uses shitty publix buns
>cheese is barley cooked
>eating her burgers is a pain in the anus because the buns are fucking tiny and the patties are huge
>litteraly tastes like cheap and tacky shit because we're poor as shit
How can I help my mom make burgers on a budget that arent shit /ck/?
OP UPDATE: Doesn't have to necisarilly be on a budget, just reasonably priced
>>9354007
Some fucking seasoning Op, preferably McCormick seasoning
>>9354007
>hating your mother's cooking
Shut the fuck up, everyone's mother is the best cook in the world and nothing beats it. To answer your question anon, good quality seasoning will elevate cheap food to amazing levels everytime.
Also I want you to tell your mom that you love her sometime today.
So I'm thinking of buying a deep fat fryer.
Do you have to change the oil everytime you use it?
if not, how many times can you use the oil?
is the oil just left in the fryer?
when the oil is due to be disposed of do you just tip it down the sink?
what sort of oil do you recommend?
you don't have to change the oil every time. when you change it depends on what you fry and how much you care about off-flavors and food safety. frying fish will make the oil taste fishy. you can leave the oil in the fryer, but you should cover it or place it in a cabinet. only pour the oil down the sink if you want to ruin your pipes. the type of oil depends on what you want to fry. you want oil with a high smoke point regardless.
>>9353964
They're worth it. How often you change the oil really depends on what you're frying. If it's fish filets, I'll change oil after 2 or 3 uses. If I'm doing tendies and fries, 4-6 uses.
Totally worth it, though. Restaurant quality tendies and fries in just a couple minutes
