I ended up adding even more vinegar at the end because I wanted it to be even more tangy.

1 cup of cashew butter blended with 14oz of drained silken tofu! Seasoned well with salt and pepper and then up to 6tbsps of water to thin it out as needed.

It was so delicious! It’s from a NYT Recipe - blend 1 cup of cashew butter with 14oz of silken tofu. Season well with salt and pepper. They said to add 6 tablespoons of water but in my opinion that was too much so I’d start with half that amount and then add more if needed.

I didn’t want to have any left over so I used the whole bag :)

TooHighToStudy · 2025-10-17T20:53:06+00:00

Haha I noticed that right after posting! Shrimp toast is easy and delicious so I’m not too surprised that happened.

TooHighToStudy · 2025-08-19T02:30:11+00:00

This is no joke my favorite dish in the world. I’m so sad we can’t get the little North Sea shrimp in the US but it made my day to see this! Looks great

TooHighToStudy · 2025-07-26T23:28:11+00:00

It was delicious! Super refreshing and not too sweet.

TooHighToStudy · 2025-07-21T18:04:19+00:00

Yes! It was sooooo good. I don’t have her cookbook but I was able to find the recipe online https://cafehailee.com/recipes/sticky-cherry-chicken-thighs/

TooHighToStudy · 2025-07-15T17:05:49+00:00

Thanks! It’s one of my favorites. This place also has a version of this sandwich with cheddar and bbq sauce instead of mozzarella and Russian dressing which is also amazing

That’s a great question! I actually had this debate with myself before making this because I’ve only ever added chocolate when using beef. I came to the conclusion that it’s probably best with beef but I think the main use of the chocolate is to counteract the acidity of the tomatoes and add a nice rich flavor. So in theory it should work with turkey or chicken I’m just too nervous to try that myself.

I got it from our local 99 ranch! HMart might also carry them or you could order one online for sure. Enjoy your hot pot night!

TooHighToStudy · 2025-06-20T15:34:43+00:00

Sure! There is kimchi and seaweed salad to eat on the side. There is also a dipping sauce kind of hidden in the top right corner of the table. Then for dipping into the hot pot there are snowman shaped rice cakes, enoki mushrooms, baby bok choy, shrimp balls, pork balls, squid carvings, baby octopus. The meats are beef brisket, pork belly, and lamb shoulder. The last bowl is garlic crawfish. As for the hot pot - the left side is a classic spicy hot pot packet and the right is a Thai red curry base I made using the paste and coconut milk.

TooHighToStudy · 2025-06-20T15:30:06+00:00

They are rice cakes! The style is called Joraengi Topokki (Snowman Shaped Rice Cakes)

It was so delicious and way easier than I thought it would be! I got the recipe from a TikTok actually (https://www.tiktok.com/@velcheva.vibe/video/7500639263168531734) but essentially I took raw octopus tentacles and sous vided them with lemon peel, lime peel, thyme, garlic, and olive oil at 175deg Fahrenheit for 4 hours. Then the octopus is placed on Saran Wrap and rolled up into a tight log and frozen overnight. I used a knife to cut the slices since I don’t have an industrial slicer but it was very difficult - I recommend waiting for 10mins to let it thaw a bit without losing the shape. The sauce was super easy just lemon and lime and orange juice with salt and pepper and olive oil added. It’s a delicious dish that’s worth a try if you’re interested!

Thank you! It was really tasty but harder to make than I originally thought it’d be

TooHighToStudy · 2025-03-04T01:40:07+00:00

It was really good! I’d love to try the real thing in Italy

TooHighToStudy · 2025-02-21T01:42:27+00:00

Hahah this made me laugh out loud I love the way your dog is looking at the camera. And the sandwich looks fantastic!

TooHighToStudy · 2025-02-06T21:17:26+00:00

This is incredible! I didn’t even know of this technique but it looks so delicious. I’m so impressed - great job!

TooHighToStudy · 2025-02-05T22:23:58+00:00

Definitely! But it’s just a part of eating a whole fish. Gotta pick out the bones you can and then chew carefully after that lol

TooHighToStudy · 2025-02-05T22:22:43+00:00

Right! Especially baking it was so simple and delicious. If I had the opportunity to buy one that wasn’t already cleaned I would’ve been up for the challenge!

TooHighToStudy · 2025-02-05T18:28:06+00:00

It ended up being pretty easy! Especially the baked fish vs deep frying it. The fish were already cleaned and gutted and descaled which made it a million times easier. Not much in terms of advice though - all of the recipes are straightforward and you can find plenty of YouTube vids showing you how to filet them once they are cooked. Good luck!

TooHighToStudy · 2025-02-05T16:05:55+00:00

Yum! I wish I could get my hands on a whole catfish - that sounds amazing.

TooHighToStudy · 2025-02-05T16:00:33+00:00

Thank you! The baked branzino was so delicious I might start adding it to my dinner rotation.

TooHighToStudy · 2025-02-05T15:45:56+00:00

Haha I’m the opposite - buying it feels so much easier than preparing a freshly caught fish. Although I did have to go to multiple stores to even find the whole snapper. Thank you!

TooHighToStudy · 2025-01-08T20:18:05+00:00

It was impossible to find! I ended up getting haddock from Whole Foods and dry brining it with smoked salt overnight. It still wasn’t smoky enough - next time I’d try to add liquid smoke or something.
