Is this actually the real thread? Looks like it, based on the cat & melon pic. My bad, I posted in one of the dupes. I'll just migrate my pasta over here.

>My wok comfort food for today was a shallot-based vegetable tomato sauce, with celery, carrot, bell pepper, and mushroom. I cooked my pasta in chicken broth this time. It didn't make any noticeable difference in flavor. The sauce tastes fantastic.

Quite a nice simple meal, something just makes we want to pour a pepper sauce over the lot but that's probably because I'm a Brit.

>>8293102
That steak is a good medium-rare, and your image is fucking retarded.

>>8293145
OP said his picture doesn't do it justice but the pic. as shown is NOT medium rare.

>>8293151
What would you call it? The hue is reddish-pink and you can see where the muscle fibers have cooked, instead of a solid gelatinous mass.

If you want raw, look at the center of medium-rare in that infographic. The center is completely raw while the outer is overcooked.

>>8293161
I would be inclined to call it 'rare to blue' but OP has already said the pictures don't look right.

The outside is not overcooked at all, it's caramelised and that's a good thing.

>>8293093
>>8293167
Something, something, the matrix

>>8293175
There is a thick band of grey leather around the outside, I'm not talking about the surface. And OP's steak is nowhere near blue, which would imply it's so raw that it has kept it's purplish hue, and solid jello-looking texture.

It's legal where I live, please elaborate on this. Like how does the kief not get sucked into the machine? Or are you talking about kief patties?

so my stove isnt working so i made chef boyardi fml

>>8296303
Yes square patties


At first i bunched it all up at the bottom of the bag then started pulling air out and kept the kief rolled slightly at the end (like in the shape of a burrito until the vacuum started pulling the bag tighter then eventually pulled it almost completely flat while I pressed on the keif

I cut it open 2 months later and it was like a slab of rosin, not moist at all but prefect for dabbing.

Oh look it's the OP who doesn't take a hint and post resized images everyone can view

>>8292587
>I cooked my pasta in chicken broth this time. It didn't make any noticeable difference in flavor.

Probably it was overshadowed by the sauce. Next time you make pasta with a less robust sauce (like just a simple olive oil one), try the broth again. I find that just dumping a small can of store-bought broth into the pasta water helps the flavor.

Looks good, by the way.

wash/dry chicken
flour + SP + paprika + garlic salt + cayenne
400 for 45 minutes
flip chicken
450 for 20 minutes
broil till DONE

one of the best crispy/juicy ratios i've ever achieved with baking. you could mix these with double fried wings, and you could not tell which is which.

are you deep frying or baking?

If you've never tried tofu I'd definitely encourage you to do so. It's great when it's used on its own merits for texture and absorption of flavor rather than as a meat substitute. You can try a straightforward stir fry like I posted. I like tofu to be as firm as possible for stir fry; the kind I get is labeled as "extra firm" or "sprouted'. I have no clue what that means, but it's sold in vacuum sealed packaging instead of the standard water-filled tofu packaging.

If you like heat, and can find doubanjiang (gochujang works too), aka. spicy fermented bean paste, Mapo Tofu is fantastic. It's best with a medium-firm tofu, which absorbs the sauce more readily, and you can poach the tofu in boiling water to keep it from breaking apart when you stir fry it.

If you're more in the mood for a soup, Korean soft tofu stew is fucking delicious and easy to make. You can make it with any meat you like, beef, pork, seafood, whatever. For that you want to get the softest tofu you can find so it breaks apart and almost becomes part of the broth as you cook it.

Sorry if I got a little too enthusiastic here. Get some tofu and cook it, man.

Oh, I forgot, you can also lightly coat it in corn starch and deep fry it and serve it in a savory broth (dashi, fish stock made by boiling fermented skipjack tuna and kelp) agedashi style.

Or if the broth mentioned above is too much of a hastle, you can cut it into small cubes and deep fry it with the same seasonings as fried chicken, and it turns out fucking fantastic.

Or you can just marinate it overnight in soy sauce and sesame oil and serve it cold with a garnish of sesame seeds and scallions

God damn I love tofu.

I reheat it at uni. The mashed potatoes were definitely better right when i made them but it's not bad when reheated.

i will give it a try soon i especially like the fried idea

so the dough hook things on the hand mixer worked unexpectedly well saved me some kneadin time, so used instant yeast recipe so gonna let these rise like 40 minutes or so

pop these tricks in the oven for a bit, got that eggwash son

I will second the recommendation for mapo tofu, although you have to go get fermented bean and chili pastes from your local Asian market to make it, and honestly it's best when you add pork IMO. Still the best tofu dish I've had.

Tofu is kind of like if you made gnocchi out of soft sawdust, in my experience. It can be delicious, but there is nearly always something better than tofu for any inclusion in any recipe.
