Bomb apple sandwich

So first I will say this is a smoking snack it pairs best with your finest bowl.

* I recommend using apple cinnamon bread but honey wheat or even white bread will do

* I use crunch peanut butter but you can use any nut butter you want

* next mix up some cinnamon sugar

* peel and finely slice one apple

* mix your apple slices with the cinna-sugar

Now here's where I get bougie

* peanut butter or nut butter of your choosing both slices of bread

* add spiced apple slices to the peanut butter. If the apples are thin apply generously

* close sandwich and butter outside of the sandwich, add cinnamon sugar mix to the butter and shake off excess

* place sandwich in skillet and toast until sugar on bottom is melting and sticking more to the bread than the pan, then flip and repeat

If there's any cinnamon sugar left add to the hot pan to let it melt

Once you see it browning add enough milk to take all of the sugar with it as you deglaze the pan

Using a rubber spatula gently mix the burning/burnt sugar with the milk until they incorporated

Once the mix is incorporated and altogether (no sugar on the edges of the pan ideally) add to your sandwich as a gooey topping or have as a dip

I wish I'd added more apple but I think this was a winner

I made this soup using garlic and small onions from Farnham Community Farm. Plus organic leek, and thyme from Tesco. Was alright for a first go on the recipe. Flavor was mild. So'll aim to strengthen favor in future soup. @farnhamcommunityfarm #farnhamcommunityfarm #homemadesoup #soup #homecooking #homecook #amateurcook #organicsoup #souper #homecookedsoup https://www.instagram.com/p/CfcJA27Ngxv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This weekend, I did some things! Hot on the heels of having actually left my house for a small Bardic ritual last weekend, we not only had people over on one day, but I went and did FAR too much cooking yesterday and today and now my back really hurts. However, as a consolation, I have 3 pork pies, made from first principles, a loaf and a half of homemade Lorne sausage (not pictured, it’s in the freezer in slices) and, while I was mincing pork and making aspic I figured it was finally time to try and make xiaolongbao. Try being the operative word, I think I got the components pretty well, but my technique for rolling the wrappers and shaping them leaves A LOT to be desired. Most are frozen but I steamed and ate 4, and only one burst which I’m counting as a win. They were totally delicious so I can’t say I’m disappointed, but they are some UGLY dumplings. And I think that’s me cooked out for the summer, once these are eaten I shall live on cereal and whatever Ben decides to cook. #cooking #amateurcook #porkpie #xiaolongbao #chronicillnesslife https://www.instagram.com/p/CebZKO5NPYw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

How I coped with my mental today and this isn’t even everything I baked

Popping in to share the joy of Maggi Masala Macaroni, that spicy, joy-on-the-plate food that's a hodgepodge of taste, comfort and good ol’ masala that gives life and mood a boost on ‘those’ days. I’m sure a lot of you are heaving that ‘been there done that’ sigh so feel free to move on; the recipe below is for those who wouldn’t mind doing a save + share of a recipe that might just be helpful in the future. So here goes… Ingredients (makes enough for 2-3) · 1¼ cup of elbow pasta/macaroni · 8-10 cloves of ginger · 1 large onion · 2 cups chopped veggies of choice · 2-3 sachets of Maggi Masala e Magic · Butter/oil Method · Cook 1 ¼ cup of elbow pasta aka macaroni as per cooking instructions on the packet. Don’t forget that ‘al dente’ bit please! · Do NOT throw away the pasta water when draining it. We’ll use it later when putting together the Masala Macaroni. · Multitask…while the macaroni is jumping and twirling and bobbling in the water, chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves. · Heat oil in a pan, throw in the onion and garlic and sauté till the onion is translucent. · I prefer using oil but hey, feel free to add a dollop of butter. · Hopefully you’ve done the vegetable prepping/chopping bit by now so throw that into the onion-wala pot and sauté for a few minutes (just FYI, I used capsicum, stringy carrots, some corn) · Add the Maggi Masala e Magic to the vegetables, a dash of water (pasta water works), mix, cover and cook for a few minutes (till the vegetables are cooked or till your patience holds – whichever comes first). · Then dump in the pasta into the vegetables, 1/4th cup of water, mix well, cover and simmer for a few minutes. · Do a taste check – remember to go easy with the Maggi Masala e Magic coz both this and the pasta water will have salt and we don’t want to have to enter the ‘let’s fix things zone’ because we know how that goes! · Taste check done, plop in your favourite plate/bowl, garnish with some coriander, grab that spoon and tuck in. #macaroni #elbowpasta #pastarecipe #maggi #amateurcooks #cookingathome #vegetarianmeal #veganrecipe #easyrecipes #food #indianbloggers #ahmedabad #fromthecornertable #traveltuckintalk https://www.instagram.com/p/CqHuNaTP-gT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s PASTA time! So real talk I grew up on eating macaroni casseroles like this, @darealjehovahhthickness and @sophisticatedrealist can attest to this. My mother would stew an entire chicken, and literally doctored it up for pasta. But I wanted to give it an explosion 💥 of flava and plus I gotta use up this seasoning so here you go! I hope you enjoy it! Please COMMENT/LIKE and REPOST/SHARE! I will appreciate it 🥰🥰🥰🥰! #cookingwithcristelle #pasta #pastacasserole #rastapasta #caribbeanflavor #haitiancuisine #haitiancooking #igfood #igfoodie #igfoodies #foodvideo #foodvideos #cooking #cookingvideos #haitianswhoblog #cook #food #amateurcooking #amateurcook #delicious #delicieux #foodporn #foodporno #foodpornography #foodvlogger #foodblog #homecooking #homemade #ilovecooking #foodpic #foodpics https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Ac_PJFoS-/?igshid=dxc3rz68e2fv

Making and serving Appams/hoppers is still treated with a bit of awe at my place.  So if a guest is considered special, appams/hoppers are on the menu. And if there is a stew with it, the guest should feel very honoured indeed!😋 This is because there is a process of turning the batter all around the pan so that the crispy "lace" can be formed at the edge of each appam/hopper. The centre is soft and mildly sweet. And to feel happy, some appams are also cooked with an egg, where it nestles happily on the soft pillowy centre, surrounded by the crisp brown "lace"😊 Appams are also traditionally served with coconut milk/milk, scraped coconut and sugar. Sooper Yummy 👍 The batter proportion is different from the idli batter. There is more raw rice. So the proportion i use is raw rice, idli rice and urad daal in 4:1:1. While grinding it, I add salt and a few tablespoons of sugar. And if you want people to really praise you , add some soaked cooked rice too. and coconut water. YUM! See the difference! 😅🤩 Some traditional foods should be made at least now and then so that it is not forgotten. The taste and health aspect is but an added bonus!😁 Have you made/tasted appams?  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #foodtalkindia #appams #hoppers #flavoursofindia #breakfastallday #breakfastoftheday #breakfast #foodpic #glutenfree #dairyfree #homecooks #homemadefood #indianfoodiesquad #indianrecipe #foodofchennai #amateurcook #chefstalk #chefstagram #cookniche #discoveringchefs #chefstoday #realtoi  #homemadefood #homecooks #mamacooks #todayfood #happybelly #worldsbesthomecooks #desifoodblog  (at Noida, New Dehli) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Cvw5ZF2uY/?igshid=1ly2vrjelzbuj

Homemade ramen!!

Alright, we know recipe blogs drag on too long so here's your intro:

I learned a lot before I made this my mainstay recipe, I've made it many times and 9/10 times it's a winner. The broth measurements are assuming at least 2 people are eating.

This is a chicken AND fish broth. fyi for those not interested in fishy broth.

First your broth:

2 cups of chicken stock, chicken broth will also do as long as its not strongly seasoned

2-3 TBS of oyster sauce

3-4 TBS of mirin [aji-mirin is what the bottle says and can be found in most grocery stores international section, if not any Asian grocery will have it]

2-3 dashes of temari soy sauce

OR

2-3 TBS of regular soy sauce

Next the fish stock portion:

a small handful of dried shaved bonito flakes into warm water placed over low-to-medium heat

add fresh long chopped green onion into fish stock pot

large chunk carrot in with onions

if fresh ginger is on hand add one chunk approximately .5 inch long. if no fresh if on hand add 1 TBS of dried ginger

once it has reached a boil and become fragrant remove from heat. Strain into chicken broth pan.

2 TBS of light brown miso paste added to a cup of broth.

mix until incorporated, then add to pot and stir

keep on low heat while skimming off any scum or residue

Next we move onto your toppings, I like to make a variety of vegetable toppings to go with it. So here are some fan favorites.

Toasted carrots-

first cut carrots into approx. 4 inch chunks

next cut into 1-2 cm thick[lgwise] pieces

once cut put over medium heat in skillet, add soy sauce and mirin until tnder and lightly charred

sauteed diakon-

Like the carrot [assuming similar thickness] cut into 4 inch chunks

if your diakon is particularly thick cut length wise to have sections approx. 2-3 cm across

now cut the diakon perpendicular. aim for the slices to be about 1 cm thick [mandolin slicers are wonderful for this]

next youll add these to a warm skillet with a mix of oyster sauce, soy sauce, and mirin.

sautee in sauce mix until sauce is sticky and radish is tender

marinated egg-

standard for almost all ramen the soft boiled egg, put your eggs in water to boil and make the marinade first

4TBSwater/2 TBS sake if available/

3 TBS soy sauce

2 TBS oyster sauce

add to jar and mix

once eggs are boiling set timer, 7 minutes for soft and slightly runny yolk, 8 for a more custard like yolk

once eggs are cooked to your liking quickly place eggs into an ice bath

blanching the eggs will make them easier to peel and remain intact

peel quickly and carefully, add eggs into the marinade jar. If you need more liquid add your broth

Fried lotus root-

my favorite topping, use poached lotus root presliced is preferable but if you find it whole you'll have to cut it yourself. Ideally slices should be about 1-2 cm thick. pat dry

while your frying oil heats mix cornstarch/flour/potato starch etc with paprika, oregano, black pepper and garlic powder

slowly add water to dry mix until a batter is formed

dip your lotus root and fry until golden

if like me you like yours a little crunchier use your dry mix as your breading to fry the lotus root until a like brown color

let cool, season and top!

chicken cutlet-

If you don't have whole chicken breast on hand I use canned chicken breast

drain and save the liquid from the can and empty chicken into a bowl

add flour and mix with your chicken

next add one raw egg to the chicken and flour and mix. You want a thick binding agent between the flour and egg so it holds shape while cooking

shape your chicken mix into medium/palm sized patties

dip your patty or chicken breast into flour

next beaten eggs

next a mixture of flour and your chosen seasonings

next fry until golden

Now since I'm not able to make my own noodles I use maruchan noodles usually, boil the noodle block separately in plain water. one block of noodles per person

Next you'll want to arrange it, because part of ramen is the starting look.

Pour your fresh noodles into your bowl, next gently laddle your hot broth until the noodles are just peaking out. Arrange your sliced chicken cutlet at the center of your bowl on top of your noodles. Now around it place your chosen vegetable toppings

Also use your leftover broth as the liquid for your rice before stir-frying

Peppermint Meringues with Beetroot powder! Meringue cookies are light, melt-in-your-mouth good, and have a crisp texture, sometimes with a chewy center. Thankfully, they’re easy to make paleo because the main ingredient is egg whites. This peppermint meringue with beetroot powder recipe is tasty and simple, and has only a few ingredients. Did you know beetroot can be used as a food coloring… Mix red beet powder and cold water in a small dish. Adjust the red-beet-powder-to-water ratio to get the desired red tint. Use less powder to get a paler red or even pink color. Strain the red beet mixture through a cheesecloth and gently squeeze out the red-colored liquid. Ingredients: 3 large organic egg whites Pinch fine salt 1/4 teaspoon organic cream of tartar 3/4 cup superfine sugar or other fine sweetener 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract BareOrganics Beetroot Powder for coloring.

[4-17-2021] Generally speaking, I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing in the kitchen. Since I haven't had any real reason to impress anyone, I just throw random sh*t together and hope for the best (and hope I don't burn the building down). Anyways, that's some StirFry vegetables and noodles and baked chicken that's been marinating in Yoshida's Sauce~ #LateDinner #Fooding #SoloFooding #AmateurCook #Single #SingleLiving #RidingSolo #NoOneToImpress #BotoMaki #BotoSessions #Guessing https://www.instagram.com/p/CNy172iJaLv/?igshid=1ghnbx5ou1j0d
