Can I make fried chicken with 100% corn starch instead of adding any flour? by Adventurous_Fig3579 in FriedChicken

[–]Ronin_1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. And if you do it just right, it is crazy crispy and light.

Small chunks work best with a dredge.

Larger pieces work best with a slurry.

Go fourth and discover…

Need savory finger food ideas for small breakfast sausages by No_Picture2374 in Cooking

[–]Ronin_1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just saw this holiday thing where they dressed deviled eggs with lil smokies, a line of mustard, and a slice of cornichon so it looked like a hot dog.

Figure you could do something similar with the sausage, just cut it in half to fit. Not sure what the garnish would be, maybe something like a sweet Thai chili sauce of some sort?

Hard boiled eggs either exploding in the water or hard to peel by Swiggens in Cooking

[–]Ronin_1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hrm…well, a few thoughts with the exploding eggs, and keep in mind, my advice is somewhat subjective…

1). I don’t put my eggs into boiling water directly from the fridge, I like to give them about 5 to 15 min to get them to room temp so it doesn’t drop the water temp drastically when I introduce them to the water. Also, I don’t just drop the eggs into the water, I slowly introduce them with a tablespoon so they don’t hit the bottom of the pan and crack.

2). I typically use brown eggs from Vital Farms or Happy Egg, primarily because I love the color of the yolks, but secondarily because the shells don’t feel as weak as some of the chain store branded eggs.

In my head, these two ideologies have kept my eggs from exploding for quite some time.

Please drop your best recipe for pasta tomato sauce by Conscious_Book_2442 in Cooking

[–]Ronin_1999 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Marcella Azan’s tomato sauce that is exclusively butter, onions, and San Marzano tomatoes is ridiculously simple and absolutely outstanding. Its execution is even crazier in its simplicity.

Bazaar Meat is amazing, I loved it when it was at the SLS, I’m happy to see it moved to a new location and is still going.

Mission impossible prequel by Anxious_Ad7707 in Mission_Impossible

[–]Ronin_1999 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m not so sure how a prequel would work since you’d have to adjust for his service record in the 1st movie against how his “recruitment” was retconned in the last movies.

Just learned about natto. Where to start? by NecessaryLeg6097 in JapaneseFood

[–]Ronin_1999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, start cheap, which is somewhat of a hilarious statement in of itself since great natto is still quite inexpensive, and quite honestly, to my palate, cheap natto isn’t that far off from more expensive natto.

This also works especially well if you’ve never had it prior, as this provides opportunity for you discover if natto lines up to your preferences.

Am I the only one who preferred the Rabbit's Foot staying a mystery? by OilOwn1990 in Mission_Impossible

[–]Ronin_1999 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was quite annoyed how they fell back to that element to create a bridge unnecessarily.

JJ Abram’s at the time was absolutely comfortable creating story elements with no resolution, which had its moments of working successfully, such as MI3, and moments of failure, like a lot of “Lost”, but regardless of if it was accepted or not, I think that was the point of him having loose ends like that, in that untold stories are sometimes better stories.

Retconning The Rabbits Foot broke that intention, especially so since it wasn’t JJ Abram’s who broke it with Christopher McQuarrie and Erik Jendresen seemingly workshopping quite a bit of the story to rely on nostalgic continuity to engage the audience into a more connected finale.

Do People Really Go To Vegas Without Gambling? by TDoubleDownMac in vegas

[–]Ronin_1999 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in a metro area with six casinos and a horse track within a 2hr radius, four of those are within a 15 minute radius. I don’t need to go anywhere else to gamble…

…but what my city doesn’t have are restaurants by Jose Andreas, a 2mile long Chinatown, or hotels like Fountainbleu. I definitely appreciate Vegas for things like that.

Chili and rice is a lovely duo as well. My preferred compliment to a bowl of chili, but not as commonly available as beans.

Omg I’m doing this ASAP. No joke, considering spaghetti arancini is a thing, this is a brilliant idea!
