Beans: 1500 calories per pound, about $1 per pound dry. The choice of the proletariat. Toss a pound of dry beans in a slow cooker or pressure cooker. Add enough water to cover them by about 2 inches. Add a teaspoon of salt, a bay leaf, an onion sliced in half, and a few cloves of garlic. If using a slow cooker, set to low and wait eight hours. Beans! If using a pressure cooker, just hit the "beans" button, maybe push out the time a little (extra 5-10 minutes). Store in their cooking liquid, I like to freeze them in 1.5 cup batches in ziplock bags (that's about what's in a can). For black beans, adding about 1/4 cup OJ to the cooking liquid gives you awesome citrus flavor. Adding a jalapeño gives them a nice kick. Rice: Eat brown rice. It is WAY better for you than white rice. Buy at local ethnic grocery stores, it'll be cheapest, and supports locals over chain stores. I prefer brown bismati. 1 lb for about $1, 1650 Cal per pound. Put 1 cup of rice in a cooker or pot. Add 2.5 cups of water. Use broth if possible, for flavor. I also like to add some creole seasoning for kick. Quick frying some cumin seeds in oil and adding the cumin and oil gives it a great flavor too. Hit the button on a rice cooker (seriously, just buy a cheap one from Goodwill or whatever, it'll pay for itself super quick) or bring the water plus rice to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and simmer 40-50 min, remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Make both ahead of time. Stick rice in fridge, freeze beans, defrosting as needed. Mix rice and beans, add any kind of sauce (hot sauce, salsa, peanut butter + hot sauce + oil, tahini + miso + oil, etc). Add roasted veggies on top. Eat. You can live off of beans + rice + veggies for a long time, so long as you're eating a variety of veggies and also getting b12 from somewhere. Spending money on rice + beans + veggies avoids a shitton of added sugar, packaging, marketing, and cruelty endemic in all the consumerist bullshit that fills most aisles of grocery stores.

Speaking of rice and beans, tomorrow I'll be making Cilantro Lime Rice topped with Feijoada (Brazilian black bean stew) and I'll be posting the results. It'd be very nice if it comes out right, since the ingredients are so cheap.

Leaving cooked rice in the fridge overnight is considered standard practice for cooking fried rice. one night should be fine for avoiding listeria but don’t let it hang around too long. Listeria will grow slowly at fridge temps, so the sooner you can freeze or eat it, the better.

lousy hat posted:one night should be fine for avoiding listeria but don’t let it hang around too long. Listeria will grow slowly at fridge temps, so the sooner you can freeze or eat it, the better. My rule of thumb is stick it in the fridge within four hours of cooking, and keep in the fridge for no more than three days. If you get it in the fridge quicker than four hours, you can probably stretch that to five days. I prep it in bowls and take it to work in my lunchbox, and toss it if for some reason I don't manage to eat it by the end if the day. So max time unrefrigerated about 12 hours.

DIY Stocks, Bone Broths, and Bouillon Cubes; or, “How to Cook Garbage”  What is it? Broth and stocks are the liquid essence of boiled meat and/or vegetables. These are very tasty and serve as the bases of soups. But the real treasure here is the homemade Bouillon Cubes, which are made by concentrating those liquids into dense solid cubes. Once you have those you can add them to just about any other dish you’re cooking, from rice to a sauce to a stew, and it will instantly taste 10 times better. You can buy premade bouillon cubes, but they are mostly just salt and msg and suck rear end compared to what I am about to describe. Why should you do this? - Makes everything taste better. - Takes very little effort or cooking skill, just a bit of time. But if you make cubes, you will do this once and then have enough cubes to last you for several months. It will save you time later, though. - If you cook reasonably often you don’t even have to buy anything, because this can be made with scraps that are usually discarded when cooking. So it’s even better than free, because you are generating value from waste. You are also reducing the amount of waste you produce, which is generally a good practice and saves you money. - It’s healthy. Vegetable scraps such as carrot peels are rich in nutrients. Bone broth is especially rich in collagen, a nutrient that is essential to the health of connective tissue in the joints and spine, which doesn’t usually feature very strongly in the typical modern western diet. If you have back or wrist pain, one reason could be that your skeletal system is hosed up due to lack of collagen. It really helps! You will need: - A pot of water - a whole bunch of garbage (see below) - ziplock bags or some kind of storage container - a baking tray and oven - a freezer and ice cube tray  Step 1: Accumulate trash So, you could just go out and buy the ingredients for stock, but like I said the cool thing is that you can also just accumulate them naturally by saving up scraps. Set aside a bag or storage container in your freezer, and save up the following garbage: For beef broth - beef bones, and shanks, any tissue rich in bones and cartilage. Beef is probably the only one you actually have to buy the bones for, rather than just saving up scraps. For pork broth or tonkatsu - buy bone in pork chops, cut out the bones and save them For vegetable broth - carrot peels, celery asses, onion peels (and asses), pumpkin rinds, shiitake stems, broccoli trunk, asparagus base, etc. also that extra half of an onion that you aren’t going to use, and any other extra stuff. Whenever you’re cooking anything with vegetables, set a tiny bit aside for the broth bag. For chicken broth - buy bone in chicken thighs and set aside the bones before cooking them. Set aside a chicken wing, or cut off the wing tips from a whole chicken. Another chicken garbage trick is to roast a whole chicken, eat the meat, and then boil the remnants of the carcass for broth. Some skin is fine, but the more skin, the fattier your broth will be so watch out. For seafood - any extra piece of fish, fish heads and tails (the heads make great broth),some shrimp, also shrimp peels, shells from crabs, crayfish, lobsters, shellfish, etc. once again, if you filet a fish yourself, keep the bones. Pretty much anything from the ocean will do. In Croatia they eat a soup where the broth is made by boiling a barnacle and seaweed encrusted rock, and the flavor comes from various invisibly tiny sea critters that live in the porous surface of the rock.  Feel free to add vegetables to the meat ones. Step 2: Roast Garbage This is important! Do not skip! Rich flavor comes from Maillard Reactions. Food contains some chemicals that give it a flavor. When these chemicals break down either due to ripening or the application of heat, they turn into a rainbow of other closely related chemicals that give it a richer flavor. This is why a cooked onion tastes better than a raw one, why toast has a different taste than bread, etc. So, once you’ve saved up enough scraps and you want to make broth, start by dumping them onto a tray and roasting them in the oven till they start to brown, but not necessarily cook all the way. But feel free to roast the poo poo out of them if you want a stronger broth.  Step 3: Boil Roasted Garbage Fill your biggest pot with water and roasted garbage, and boil, with lid on. Don’t add salt! Boiling times: Vegetables - 1 hour Seafood - 1 hour Chicken - 2 hours or more Pork - 3 hours or more (8-12 hours for tonkatsu) Beef - 4 to 72 hours Boiling beef or pork bones takes a long time but is worth it, and tastes better the longer you do it. Congrats, you have made stock! Use it at this point if you want, or continue with the next step. Step 4: Cube Storage Remove the lid, turn on very high heat and let the water evaporate. If you are making animal broth it will become gelatinous at some point, because it’s literally gelatin. That’s collagen! Stir when it is approaching this state, don’t let burn.  Now pour into ice cube trays and let it cool off on the counter before putting it in the freezer, or your freezer will fill with steam that will turn into ice all over the place. Once the cubes are set, remove them from the ice cube tray and put them in a ziplock bag and back in the freezer.  How to Use: Throw it into literally everything you cook. Throw a cube in with rice in a rice cooker, or use it as a substitute for the flavor packet in instant noodles, add it to a sauce or stew, mix with boiling water to have instant broth. ~~~~ Pho Cubes (gently caress youbes) Make a beef or chicken broth as above, except add the following: - Roasted ginger and shallots (or onions). As an alternative to roasting you can burn them directly a gas range with an old fondue fork like you would roast a marshmallow over a camp fire. It’s ok if they burn a bit, this will give the broth a smokey flavor. - a whole lot of cinnamon, cloves, coriander seeds, black pepper kernels, and cardamom Edit: and star anise! - some fish sauce Boil for 4 to 8 hours. Condensed into cubes of you want, then you can have pho whenever you want! Tonkatsu Same but pork. Add in ginger, and any combination of onion, garlic, leek, or green onion. twoday has issued a correction as of 16:07 on Nov 27, 2018 |

Pho cubes should have star anise too, but otherwise cool ideas. I'm gonna start collecting veggie scraps. My problem is I pretty much never peel carrots, and I eat the stems of mushrooms too. rear end ends of asparagus, onions, celery, and the tops of carrots I guess. And then once they're boiled I can still compost them. Here's a similar idea: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1017249-amanda-cohens-secret-weapon-stir-fry-sauce Take the following: ⅔ cup cilantro ⅔ cup parsley ⅔ cup Thai basil 4 cups spinach Rip off stems, blanch in boiling water for 30 sec, toss in ice bath, then stick it in a blender with this: 2 cloves garlic, peeled 2 tablespoons peeled and chopped fresh ginger Blend till it's a thick green paste. Freeze in ice cube trays. Add to fried rice, as a soup base, whatever.

Ah yes, star anise is essential. There are endless variations, but making flavor cubes ahead of time is a great way to use up leftovers and store your kitchen labor in cube form

I made some pizza and thought I'd share the dough recipe: 6dl durum wheat flour 4dl regular wheat flour 4dl water 4tsp sugar 1tsp salt 11g dry yeast(or 30g fresh yeast) Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl, heat up water until it feels warm to touch(if you're using fresh yeast mix it in the warm water), pour it in there and knead for about 10min. When the surface of the dough looks fairly smooth it's good. Cover the bowl and let it sit for 20min. This amount makes 4 pizzas that fit in a regular type of oven so cut the dough in four parts, roll into balls and press them into discs. If you're on some kinda diet and don't plan on eating 4 pizzas in one go bag the extra discs and put them in the freezer. Take a disc and flatten it using a rolling pin, put things on it and toss in a 250 celsius oven for 10 minutes.
