(It’s going to be basically this but with fresh ginger added)
My process for deciding what to cook would give any organized event planner a heart attack
1. Go to the fancy butcher, see what catches my eye
2. Make up a dry rub
3. Realize paprika in the already-applied dry rub will burn when I sear it
4. Find a good looking recipe while googling what to do about that
5. The dry rub is being repurposed to turn the sous vide bag liquid into the base for a glaze
Result: 4 hours after shopping and 1 hour after seasoning I finally know what I’m making

One of the things I see people do when they make Japanese curry from the roux cubes is that they don’t add extra things to it. Out of the box, it’s a little bland (even if you get the spiciest). You have to add things to it.
Sauté onions, carrots, celery. Add roux cubes (I like 1 large cube per person), sauté with the vegetables until melted down and they cover the vegetables. Add any protein you are using at this point (except seafood, if using that add it at the end).
Then add some water or stock, enough to cover. Add potatoes. Bring to a boil, then simmer. Add soy sauce, white pepper, hot sauce. A few slices of apple (yes!) and a black tea bag (I use Ceylon tea). Remove tea bag after 3 minutes.
I like to add cayenne pepper, more hot sauce, and sambal at this point to really feel something (Japanese curry isn’t spicy at all. Even the cubes that say extra spicy).

Those are the hacky hacks I do to make a restaurant quality Japanese curry at home.
Tortellini of the world! Unite!
The Union of Tortellini, after seizing back the means of production and redistributing the capitalist surplus, are here to wish you revolutionary holidays. Especially to your fascist uncle (or every fascist).
Merry Marxmas everyone!

Tips for caramelising onions:
Low heat.
Long time.
Don't mix too often.
Do a large quantity.
I'm doing about 2kg of onions right now, it's been going for about 3 hours, and I reckon it's got another 3 in it. At least.
You're basically sweating onions.
Turning the sweat into an "onion stew".
Then reducing that stew into thick, fibrous caramel.
This can be used as a base for the best onion soup you've had.
Similar to the onion tarts: add water until you have a soup, pour into bowls, add a round of baguette, liberally top in Gruyère, then grill/broil the top.
Almost the same ingredients, used slightly differently

Market in my neighborhood put up this little Free Cookbook Library so today I dropped off a couple of cookbooks I had been planning to donate to a local used bookstore. By the time I was done with my shopping, someone had snagged the Flour & Water cookbook!
This is a great idea with cute execution! I didn’t do the bookmark for my fave recipe but now that I know it’s there I’ll be prepared next time. #cooking #cookbook #LittleFreeLibrary #homeCooking

"When #Ashkenazi #Jewish people emigrated to the #US in the early 20th century, #latkes came along for the ride. They’re as popular as ever in Jewish- #American #Hanukkah #cooking, though they’re now made vegetable #oil instead of #shmaltz. They’re so popular in fact that they’ve gone commercial, with some grocery stores carrying dry latke mixes or ready-made frozen latkes. It's a workout to shred #potatoes and make them by hand, so, it’s not surprising that there’s now a market for a quick alternative.
But which brand tastes like homemade? We asked a panel of Jewish professional #chefs to find out what the best store-bought latke is—plus, the best way to reheat them and ideas for serving this traditional Hanukkah treat."

I don’t know Jun from Jun & Tonic, but we have the same taste in food.
Murukku is my favorite snack and I would LOVE this. To make it even more opulent, I would use only the butter murukku I love from Grand Sweets (I get them in Sunnyvale at Madras Grocery).
