The trick, apparently, is to use mostly gruyere with a little mozzarella, but NOT SHREDDED - sliced paper thin. I have NO loving clue how they sliced gruyere and especially mozzarella that thinly without freezing it first - like seriously you could have read a newspaper through the individual slices - and freezing it would have destroyed the texture.

Unless they're using fresh mozz, both are firm enough you should be able to shave em on a deli slicer.

I can tolerate bleu cheese. Or at least I can tolerate it in buffalo wing dipping sauce.

I said it's the only acceptable sauce, not that I would always dip wings in them.

But addendum: bleu cheese for buffalo wings.

yup i hate spicy food and traveling nail on the head right there

Pyeongchang kinda sucks all the Koreans working for me keep ripping on it, it is pretty hilarious. They are all from Seoul and keep on telling me that they want to go home. Gangneung is a little bit better but tbh the Olympics are kind of rear end, though one of my fixers is taking me to a seafood market where I will eat alive things and infinite crab I'm pretty pumped.

edit: korea also has an amazing coffee game, on average better than the states

It's weird that I can't find a rice-to-water ratio in weight. We've got the science of brewing coffee down to an exact 1/16 grams of coffee to water but the sagely wisdom for rice is still twice the water, making certain you use the same device for dry ounces to fluid ounces so you get that nice pudding texture as the kernels blow out and fuse together in a homogeneous lump of starch.

to a first and second approximation, all the international food that exists in korea exists in seoul

everywhere but seoul has better actualkorean food

stay the gently caress out of korea if you don't like spicy food, ok

it's not like in thailand or mexico where they have the actual spiciest food but it's labelled properly and a small portion of the cuisine

we make everything spicy, including things you thought weren't supposed to be spicy

If you've never had bad rice because the instructions recommend way too much water so you get a texture that's halfway to congee or rice pudding then you are blessed.

So I’ve been using my stainless steel pots to cook rice lately, and to prevent sticking, ive out a tsp or olive oil in with the water. Is there any other way I could prevent sticking? A little bit still sticks, but nothing like it used to.

No, I just find that the cooking instructions either call for more water than necessary or too long cooking time. I'll try a little experiment later although I don't even think my brand of rice has instructions on it. At least not in English.

Buy a Zojirushi, use good rice, make good rice for 14+ years with that same machine which has long since paid for itself in good rice every time.

I could never, ever get rice to come out right on the stove, regardless of what instructions I used -- I decided it was a talent I didn't have. I bought a Zojirushi, and I haven't had rice problems for a very long time.

I put rice in pot. I run water over rice and swirl it around and rinse it off. Then I put water in pot until it's about 1/2 inch over the top of the rice (more for a big pot) and add a bit of salt. Then I bring it to a boil on high, then I turn it down to medium low. When the rice is poking out of the water evenly, I turn it down to lowest setting and throw a lid on it. It's ready in like 8 more minutes.

I have like 6 kinds of rice in my cupboard and it works with all of them :shrug:
