I took this pic as soon as I added the coconut milk and curry block. It thickened up after a few minutes...

Korean food should be served with a spoon.

>>8858804
This is a fair point. But the spoon kind of sucks. It doesn't suck as bad as the mini-ladle things you get at pho and ramen places though.

>>8858787
Just observe old asian dudes
I've been in a Pho shop and seen old vietnamese dudes scarf that shit down and drink the entire bowl, no spoon needed

When in doubt, just do as they do

Let it cook for a while. The liquid will evaporate.

Use flour or vegetable starch to make gravy

Depends on what you're going for. For a gravy like sauce, you need a roux or a slurry.
For example, I make salisbury steak in a manner that I believe may be similar to Swedish meatballs.
First and foremost, I use beef tallow, plain flour and minced shallots to make a brown roux.
Then, I sear either a cubed steak or a beef mince patty in a tad more tallow, remove it and add thinly sliced onion to the pan.
When the onion starts to colour, I deglaze with wine and scrape up the fond.
When the liquid reduces out again and the onions begin to take colour anew and stick to the pan a bit, I add strong beef stock.
When simmering, I add the roux, whisk it to distribute and disperse throughout evenly, then add the cubed steak/patty and let it finish in the newly made sauce.

I can't imagine Swedish meatballs would differ much from that besides shape (ball v patty) and the possible addition of cream.

The other way to thicken is with a slurry, which is a bit of pure starch (most commonly cornflour/cornstarch) and a liquid (usually water or stock) shaken or whisked together until smooth. This mixture is whisked into a simmering liquid to thicken.

For a jus-like sauce, all you need do is reduce a tad. Remember that jus is considerably thinner than gravy.

That looks inedible

Who the fuck is stocking his kitchen with rotten food in the first place?
Oh, that's right, either incompetent assholes or assholes trying to set up some dumbass cooks for failure at every turn so that even if they catch everything, they spent so much time double checking shit that their food is half as good as it could have been.

It's roteeeeeeeen

>>8858245
Nah this is completely normal in most run of the mill restaurants.

Are you insured?

Where's the nori dude? Also too much rice

>>8858190
Oh yeah way too much rice. Just using what I had made because it doesn't seem to keep even overnight very well. Out of nori right now.

The sirloin is too rare

>>8857715
The rare is too sirloin

>>8858761
I disagree, but I respect your opinion anon

>>8857545

It tastes delicious. It has no effects on how I "feel" though. It doesn't cause any discomfort, gas, bloating, indigestion, etc.

Like a cow, mooo. Fuck off.

Satiated.

Lookup local missions/soup kitchens/food banks

All are free and the first two provide hot meals daily. Food banks provide mostly grains vegies and dairy to take home.

Dont starve. Utilize whats out there. Heres a good starting point: google catholic charities in your area and find out serving times. Just mind your own business when youre at these places and everything is fine.

1. Wear a big coat or some pants with tons of pockets
2. Line all the pockets with plastic baggies
3. Go to a place that has a buffet (my college town had a KFC with one it was awesome)
4. Eat as much as you can and put some of each plate of food you get in your plastic-lined pockets untill they are all full
5. Eat like a king for a week or so for just the price of one buffet

Cayenne pepper

Usage instructions: add it to everyfuckingthing. NO EXCEPTIONS.

>>8856945
Salt, obviously. You can leave pepper out depending on what other seasonings, herbs, and spices you use, but you can't really leave out salt. Maybe you could if you used MSG, but even then you're better off combining them to draw the most flavor out of whatever you're cooking.

No comment. I got a career amd family to worry about.

I got this idea for boiled dinner when I was in the USA. It's dead simple but tastes good.
I added the roasted potatoes because I need the carbs.

A hinged locking lid is mandatory.
Even better if the unit has a pressure cooking option, but that will be limited to the higher end models.

Brands: Zojirushi is king. Tiger isn't bad either.

Keep in mind that you will more than likely be able to buy one cheaper online than in person.

I've been to LA Little Tokyo and I price checked the rice cooker models while I was there. Of the ones I could find on Amazon, all of them were a good bit cheaper than if I were to buy them in person. I'd say just go to find a model you like, and then buy it on Amazon.

Depends on whether you want to JUST cook rice, or you want to be able to cook other stuff.
I just wanted one for cooking rice, so I bought a 10 cup Tiger model (pic related). Works beautifully, makes perfect rice and I've never had any issues with it.
With any rice cooker you get though, make sure you follow the instructions implicitly. Most people I know who've complained about their rice cookers either bought cheap ones or don't follow the instructions thoroughly.
