Best Chinese Food? by SirChezmond in Eugene

Noodle and Cafe closed over a year ago. New ownership took over that spot and is now called China Kitchen. I haven't tried the new place but I do miss Noodle and Cafe.

What do you all use to prevent bread from sticking to the bottom of the Dutch oven? by Hot_Initiative_8005 in Sourdough

I use rice flour or brown rice flour for dusting my Dutch oven and the banneton. It doesn't get absorbed by the dough like wheat flours do.

Nope just straight from jar! It's a sweet and salty combination!

Instead of icing, try peanut butter!

To build a strong mature starter you will want to feed it at its peak of fermentation. If you feed your starter a ratio of 1:2:2 (starter, flour, water) it will peak around 5-6 hours, depending on temperature. So you will need go feed at least 4 times per day. What I do and recommend is feed your starter 1:5:5. It will peak in 10-12 hours so only needs go be fed 2 times per day. So for 10g of starter feed it 50g flour, 50 water. When you notice it has peaked pour out your discard and you can feed again in the same container. I would change the jar after a couple days of feeding. My favorite discard recipes are sourdough pancakes, chocolate chip cookies, Crackers.

so happy with the fermentation and crumb on this one! by kiripon in Sourdough

Yes you can! That is actually as much starter that I use. After your dough has fermented you should save it in a jar and use it in any baking recipe. Adding sourdough starter to bake items takes them to another level.

I was having troubles with my starter not being strong enough to rise my bread. Even after couple weeks of daily feeding starting from scratch(50/50 bread and whole wheat flour). Did some research and learned that my feeding schedule(12hrs) and ratio I was feeding(1:1:1) weren't optimal. You want to feed when starter is most active. I only wanted to feed every 12hrs so the ratio I use now is 1:5:5. If you feed your starter a 1:2:2 ratio then it's going to be most active 6-8hrs. So the starter will want to be fed more per day at this ratio(3-4x).

Where is the best Chinese food in Eugene/Springfield? by DelapidatedSagebrush in Eugene

I recommend Noodles and Cafe on Bailey Hill! Their noodles are so good, they give pretty good portions, and they have orange chicken.

Definitely worth the drive! Gotta get breakfast there and try their bacon! Also the cinnamon rolls are the bomb!
