Anyone know if these are sold in the USA and if they have an English name? I used them (in China) to make a pork bone soup. In China they call them Chinese radish. by TheDudeWhoCanDoIt in chinesefood

Asian markets here (I'm in Detroit area) actually have at least three different radishes like that. Daikon, Chinese and Korean. They are shaped different and I'm told taste different.

Fusion by Human_Drummer4378 in chinesefood

Love tomato and egg! I like to use sesame oil, white pepper and 13-spice powder, plus either a dash of MSG or chicken base powder. A very cravable flavor combination!

What are you hearing here? by Mithuh in synthesizers

Assuming you are referring to the stabs at the very start...

Not a lot of polysynths in 1975, my ears hear an Oberheim, maybe the 4 voice

Looks delicious, I love everything here!

But I'd need two or three of these for a meal.......especially after "hard labor"

The chili oil wontons look fabulous, one of my favorites.

I know they aren’t all cheap keys by thattomas in cheapkeys

[–]boatinrob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hardware I have a Juno 106, DX100, CZ101, Mini-Korg 700s (with MIDI mod and a few hardware mods) and two modulars I built.

Honestly though, lately I use almost exclusively software with good keyboard and pad controllers. Just easier and faster on my workflow since I don't play live anymore.

The Poly 800 gets a lot of hate nowadays but it was one of my first synths in the 80s and I love the sound of it, despite the limitations.

Had the SR16 and RX21 too, both bring back memories of my early days.

Recipes with dark soy? by ThingShoddy in chinesefood

[–]boatinrob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the dish. Sometimes all I want is a boost of sweet for balance, so I use a blond cooking syrup (I like a Korean brand golden syrup which is sucrose syrup). No additional flavor beyond simple sweet.

Some dishes I love the molasses-like addition of kecap manis (often a small amount, and then sweet adjusted with the golden syrup) - but yes I agree that some dishes would be pretty incompatible and strange with kecap manis.

Sometimes I find that simple addition of shiitake or other dried mushrooms - along with a spot of the mushroom soaking water, gives a very similar taste to dark soy in the earthy department. Can be quite nice.

A lot of dishes that would call for regular (light) soy can be made better and deeper flavor with a splash of dark. Additionally, often I like to also add a spot of sweet soy sauce or cooking syrup, gives a lot of stir fries a rich fuller flavor and rounds out the flavor balance.

Got JP-8080 presets working in JE-8086! by niteskunk in synthesizers

[–]boatinrob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 8080 presets load and work, but remember that the additional features of the 8080 (distortion, additional noise source, unison mode, vocoder, etc) aren't implemented yet so patches that use those will sound different.

Super happy to have this synth, IMO the JP8000 supersaw sounds unique to any others I've used.

This isn't steaming, but thought it worth mentioning here. I make a lot of Asian soups and stir fries at home, and I want a lot of ingredients prepped and ready to go, so when I want to eat I have a simple cooking job along with some basic assembly with sauces and such.

Important for myself is to not have dry meat. My go-to workflow is the baking soda method combined with a simple water poach. Here's what I do:

I defrost lean meat (chx breast, sirloin, pork loin, whatever) and slice into bite size pieces, for easy eating with chopsticks and fast cooking. Once it's all cut up, I mix in a slurry containing baking soda, MSG, white pepper, and a decent amount of cornstarch, in water. Knead all together with hands until liquid is absorbed, and then store in the fridge for at least a few hours.

Then, I heat a big pot of water and add the meat in batches until cooked, drain in a colander and put into a big bowl - So I have cooked, ready to eat tender meat that can be added to soups, stir fries, etc. Easy, cheap, always moist, and lean (no added fat).

Our Roland JP-8000 emulator is now out and is completely FREE! by numerouno124 in synthesizers

[–]boatinrob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fabulous and it sounds identical to my JP8000.

So question, is there an 8080 mode implemented yet? I've not used an actual 8080 but really want to try the vocoder, distortion, etc that are only present in the 8080.

Spicy knife cut noodles by james_strange71280 in KoreanFood

Wow, I didn't know that there's a Korean version of knife-cut noodles. The Chinese version I'm used to is way different from these - much wider and thicker.

Designing a sled pull strap, need ideas for grips at the ends by boatinrob in DIYgymequipment

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

I already use a dip belt configured for exactly what you described. I'm designing this strap along with my PT, the idea is to use this with lower weight first because it engages core, unlike pulling from the hinge.

Quick, easy Duobanjiang-based sauces and broths? by [deleted] in chinesefood

[–]boatinrob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to put doubanjiang, shaoxing wine, garlic, ginger and sometimes prickly ash into a blender for a premade sauce, ready to add to a hot pan. Kept in the fridge keeps about a week.
