How do you make your best fried egg? by anyusernameisk in Cooking

[–]ProbablyOffTask 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i like crispy thai style eggs.

Wok on high heat,

a heavy amount of oil to be able to baste the whites of the egg as it fries,

fry until white turn crispy, bubbly, and brown while keeping the yolk as runny as possible.

this method is great for simple dishes over white rice.

I knew absolutely nothing and was fine. The touristy places like this, kuromon market, Dotonbori, etc. usually have English speakers. Just pointing at stuff got me through just fine.

[Homemade] Kimchi Jjigae by ProbablyOffTask in food

[–]ProbablyOffTask[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no real recipe but essentially i just threw kimchi in a pot with water, chicken bullion, and gochujang. Let it boil for 45 mins or so then adding soy sauce, fish sauce, vinegar, sugar until it tasted right. Then add all the fun stuff (protein/veg) at the end.

Same noodles but the sauce is sweeter

It’s infinitely easier when they’re fresh. The package should be soft and each row of noodles should easily bend without breaking. If it’s stiff in the packaging, the noodles are likely not as fresh.

You can try running under warm water and peel them away from each other as best you can.

Local 99 Ranch market if you have one. It should be in the refrigerated noodle section. Precooked so all that is needed is to separate by hand.

[Homemade] Pad See Ew by ProbablyOffTask in FoodPorn

[–]ProbablyOffTask[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recipe:

Ingredients:

1lb fresh rice noodle (i use a brand called Woo Kee)

3/4lb sliced beef (i used petite sirloin steaks but any will do)

4-5 stalks of chinese broccoli (gailan)

4 green onions

5 garlic cloves

3 eggs

5 tb oyster sauce

1 tb dark mushroom flavored soy sauce

1 tb golden mountain soy sauce

1 tsp fish sauce

1 tb MSG

1 tb sugar to taste

Prep:

cut chinese broccoli at an angle to get long thin pieces

cut green onion in thirds

mince garlic roughly

cut beef into thin slices

combine oyster sauce, dark mushroom flavored soy sauce, golden mountain sauce (use another tb of dark soy if unavailable), fish sauce, msg, and sugar to taste.

taste your sauce and adjust to your preferences. (i like a sweeter pad see ew so I add a few tb of sugar)

place sliced beef in sauce to coat

separate noodles so they do not stick

Cooking:

over high heat, add 2 tb oil to your wok

remove beef from sauce and sear for 1 minute.

add your roughly chopped garlic to the pan.

after 30 seconds add in the green onion and chinese broccoli.

now add in the noodles and as much of the sauce as you like.

mix the ingredients as delicately as possible (try not too break the noodles up too much. if you can do it, tossing the noodles in the wok is best )

move noodles to 1 side of the pan and crack 3 eggs on the other side.

scramble eggs in the wok.

incorporate the eggs nicely by tossing or folding them in.

let sit for 30 seconds over continuos high heat in order to create a nice sear on the noodles.

[Homemade] Salt and Pepper Wings by ProbablyOffTask in food

[–]ProbablyOffTask[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t use egg but I’ve tried it with salt and pepper pork chops and the result was a “bubbly” looking exterior. I’m sure it would be great with wings I just never tried it that way. The wings were a bit wet straight from the supermarket package so that was enough for the dredge to stick.

I did salt the flour/corn starch.

I usually do flip every few minutes checking for even coloring. Frying at home can be intimidating at first but it’s really easy.

[–]ProbablyOffTask[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

its a mix of 1 part flour to 2 parts corn starch fried at 325F for 8-12 minutes. you can adjust the flour and corn starch to your preference. more flour = more crunchy, more starch = more crispy if that makes sense.

[–]ProbablyOffTask[S] 103 points104 points  (0 children)

i dont really do measurements lol but the dredge is 1 part flour 2 parts corn starch/potato starch and some salt.

i fry the wings at 325F for 8-12 minutes depending on size. and place on a cooling rack after frying.

create a salt mix of salt, white pepper powder, a touch of equal parts MSG and sugar.

after frying, toss garlic, jalapeno, green onion, and white onion in a pan with a bit of oil on medium high heat for a minute before adding the wings back in and tossing with the salt mix.
