It was pretty delicious. How hard is it to make one of these at home ?
>>9301895
In a scale of not hard to hard it's not hard
Look up katsudon too.
Muzukashi~~
Dear /ck/ how shitty does my lunch look? Sausage is chicken garlic sausage, cucumber is from my garden, bread is homemade.
General lunch thread?
Looks good to me. 7/10
I'd eat it.
>>9301794
Seems like a normal meal. personally I prefer cucumbers cold with some other veggies and dressing.
Sup cu/ck/s, I'm a skinnyfag looking to get big.
I'm making all my chicken tonight and I only have some basic spices at my disposal.
What's a good rub I can whip up to make 3 weeks worth of chicken breasts dressier?
>>9301709
Make different rubs and marinades.
Buy more spices.
>>9301709
chicken is a blank slate. You can flavor it however you might want to. Your question is about as silly as asking what kind of music you should listen to. The answer to both is: I dunno, what do YOU like?
Here are some ideas to get you started:
-Salt & pepper is delicious on its own
-Classic Western herbs: sage, rosemary, thyme.
-Asian flavor: ginger, garlic, red chili, sesame oil
-BBQ: Paprika, brown sugar, salt, onion powder
-Mexican/Southwest: Chili powder, cumin, Mexican oregano
-Italian: Basil, rosemary, thyme
-Indian: curry powder or garam masala
Of course you can buy different styles of spice mixes too: cajun seasoning, Montreal steak seasoning, etc....

Tomato sauce and ketchup are both made out of tomatoes. Why can I use one with pasta but not the other?
ketchup is too sweet
>>9301516

>>9301568
h-how do you know ?
Rate my dinner, /ck/
Not in the pic, but used are
Two Tablespoons of Honey
Chili flakes
A tiny bit of cocoa powder
And rice in the microwave
>>9301098
hello german person
>>9301098
>And rice in the microwave
This is why you lost your job at that michelin starred restaurant.
Also, that chicken is cooked through already, then you're gonna add sauce and cook it more.
>>9301108
I never had a job at a restaurant, I am student atm.
Microwaved rice is usually not my thing, but I got this rice cooking pot recently and tried it out. Gotta stick to the usual way, though.
Plus I just heated the sauce to ~80 degrees after adding it, so it's on edible temperature. The chicken was fine
I need a quick rundown on this stuff, aparently my brother bought some of these from a new store in my city and I'm afraid to eat them.
>>9300676
I'm not sure what there is to say other than the obvious anon. It's pieces of eel meat cooked in gelatin aka aspic aka jelly. That ought to make it clear what kind of flavor and texture to expect.
>>9300676
Surprisingly it's not as "fishy" tasting as you'd expect. Still, there's absolutely no reason to buy it except for trying it once out of curiosity. It's the kind of thing that was eaten a hundred years ago out of necessity and only exists now as a meme food sold by people trying to be "traditional"
Lord Manderly loves that stuff.
>tfw can't appreciate the difference between a $10 meal and a $50 meal
How do you learn to appreciate food other than the paying for the ambience meme"
>>9300445
Become a prep cook.
>>9300445
The same way you appreciate anything else: get more experience. Travel. Get out and eat more. All different kinds of places: street stalls, hole-in-the-wall places, famous restaurants, local specialties, etc.
And sadly price is no indicator of quality. I've had god-tier meals for under $10 and I've had $50 plates that were no better than a diner.

I've been to Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Singapore and food to me is just fuel to live.
I need a bit of help making sushi. Now I'll be straight forward,
I'm an American from California of all places, my palate has probably no taste for authentic sushi as I ask for this.
There was a Sushi place over in LA called Volcano Sushi & Boba that gave me the best Catapillar roll that I tasted (Which probably takes like shit all things considered) So much so that I tried to make it myself using all the ingredients that went into it.
I've had moderate success, like I'm not such a spazz at cooking that I can't cook my own food, I new how to cook rice and I knew how to look up a tutorial and buy the equipment I Need to roll up sushi. I guess my major issue was the product I used in general.
What I've noticed *And why I specified that I live in California* is that sushi I eat doesn't have too much of a strong flavor. Like everything blends so well together nothing stands out, the crab doesn't stand out the seaweed doesn't stand out the cucumber doesn't stand out and the avocado doesn't stand out, I can taste it all there, but it's all a uniform and nice taste that blends together.
However When I try to make it myself, something always stands out too much, either the imitation crab I use or the cucumber taste way too green, or the seaweed is just so very strong and completely overtakes everything about the meal and makes it the sole focus.
I want to know how to make sushi that can blend together, if anyone can give me and product advice or something I should do with the produce before I start using it I'd love to know.
>>9300188
There are plenty of places that serve authentic sushi in California.
As for your question, this is only a guess but maybe it's the sauce they use on the sushi that ties everything together for you? The eel or spicy mayo sauce is a lot of the flavor of these sorts of rolls and when people try to make it themselves they'll often forget the sauces.
>>9300236
The sauce on top is the tricky part, I don't know what they use, I know it's some type of sweet sauce like barbeque, but I don't, it's a lot looser probably be safer to say it's some type of teriyaki sauce or something people normally put on top of Unagi.
Also, the roll at Volcano is very very basic. It's pretty much a California roll with avocado and unagi put on top
>>9300246
The brown sauce they use is usually just sweet eel sauce, which in most places is a sugar/soy sauce/mirin reduction
Meals like this. Whens the last time you had a nice dinner like so? A chopped sirloin
Meatloaf always a classic
Chicken fried steak
>>9299908
That looks like a salisbury steak
how do you feel about these little brassy delicious motherfuckers
High glycemic index. That's why I only eat sweet potatoes.
However, they do have a superior texture from any other potato. If you're all about that mouth feel experience, they're the go-to.
>>9299524
good call. sweet potatoes are my favorite but they're not 3 lbs for $1 at the 99cent Store, so I made due
the mouthfeel is really nice
>>9299526
3 lbs. for $1 is a steal. I would've grabbed two or three bags and had roasted garlic mashed potatoes for days. Yukons are the prime for mashed taters.
Why do black people always break up their ramen noodles into little chunks before they cook it? Every time I've been around a black person making ramen, they always do this.
I can see "unfolding" the ramen brick and breaking it in half if you want slightly shorter noodles, but I will never understand smashing them into tiny bits.
>>9299493
isnt it a prison thing?
>>9299514
I can confirm that it is.
Is this a black thing? That's how my family always did it, and they're fucking back water white trash hill billies.
I've got a colonoscopy in the morning. I've been on a clear liquid diet all weekend, in conjunction with a Miralax prep that's seen me essentially living in the bathroom...
I'm so hungry, /ck/...
Where should I make my wife take me after I'm done tomorrow? I want to go eat a lot of fucking food.
Pic unrelated, but look at that fucking peach.
>>9299435
Your preferred cut of steak, a loaded baked potato, and your choice in vegetables.
>>9299461
this desu senpai
>>9299461
I dunno, man. Steak is good, but it seldom hits the spot for me. I'm thinking about crushing a Chinese buffet or something.
As an aside, I've been up watching colonoscopy vids on YouTube and I'm freaking myself out that they'll find something weird like a fish bone in my colon.
has anyone here ever eaten borscht? I just made it in Cooking Mama because I'm a fucking weeb faggot and it looked and sounded disgusting.
It's good with sourcream. Useless weeb
It tastes good if you make it right
( I have a Russian family)
>>9299337
I made it once and ate it. It was pretty good, but I fucked up aome small details. Too much salt, not quite eniugh cabbage. Would recommend, it's hearty and satisfying. Perfect for a fall or winter evening.
