I'm on pizza overload dude, can't do it. Been trying to perfect my pizza recipe this last month and simply can't indulge anymore.

how about this? labour intensive but very tasty

you can deep fry instead of steaming/frying and substitute diced carrots for the water chestnuts

use dumpling wrappers or w/e if you can't get the bean curd skin

I know this might be the most amazing thing you've ever cooked, but it sounds depressing as hell for a birthday dinner.

I have everything except the chestnuts, soybean skin and wrappers, but I'm not feeling like asian cuisine today. I'll save that recipe though, that looks like it might be pretty tasty. Next time I'm at H-Mart I'll pick up the other ingredients and try it out.

spring for the extra fancy ketchup for your tendies

Why does it seem like SE Asia always uses white pepper?

In most Western cuisine it's only used when you want to keep everything white, and many people think it smells like farts.

Its not the most amazing but its great food.

white pepper is straight up spicier while black pepper is used more for its aroma

if it smells like farts its poorly made, white pepper is made by fermentation so if its not done properly it will taste bad

Maybe they just send us the shitty stuff over here, even though I bought mine from a Thai/Cambodian grocery store.

>>7249786

That looks really good, and relatively simple to make.

>>7249817
That could very well be true, the flavour comes from essential oils which evaporate over time. Part of why whole peppercorns >>>>>>>>>>>>>> pre-ground.

My home state is a well known producer of pepper so I always load up when I go home. Haven't tried pepper from UK stores but the selection does look bleak.

Yeah, I only buy whole peppercorns, but most of the products at Thai/Cambodian store I go to are covered in dust, despite it being a pretty busy place (it's run by Cambodians, but more of the products come from Thailand).

Tonight will be golumpki and gnocchi, going shopping now, expect a thread later

juicy beef wellington or learn to cook duck. both will be fun. i myself find joy in making sweets. if it were my birthday id enjoy making a beautiful, labor intensive cake or sweet. maybe a very fine looking fruit tart or 10 layer cake. or even a souffle. also happy birthday.
