I'm making Kung pao chicken somewhere vaguely between takeout style and more traditional, still gloopy sauce and canned water chestnuts but with real black vinegar and shaoxing wine and sichuan peppercorn

definitely have some changes for next time (and next time I won't forget to make rice until the sauce is already thickening :negative:)

Woh, is that a thing I like??
I made some Sauerkraut with like, mock-teriyaki pork belly strips. No photo because it was pretty bachelor style (only I eat meat in my family)
But with some more thought and effort I feel I am onto an amazing flavour combination and subsequent meal.

I learned the truth about real cinnamon and its use in hearty meaty stews or chili right on this here forum, many moons ago!

Going to be making a fresh batch of chili oil tomorrow. Will be the first time I use black cardamom and sand ginger which are traditional ingredients in a Sichuan chili oil. I'm curious to see how much of a difference it makes. I suspect quite a bit.

Ok. It’s done. Best to let it steep another day before I really give it a go.



I have other pics for it during the making of it if folks are interested. I haven’t really tried it yet. The inclusion of the traditional ingredients is really throwing me for a loop. The smell let’s me know it’s very different from the oils I’ve made before and I’m interested to find out how I like it.

this is very specifically for pasta, but: make your sauce in one pan, boil your pasta (in very well salted water! the water should taste like seawater! salt is cheap) in another pan for a minute less than the package instructions, transfer it into your sauce with whatever pasta water comes along for the ride, and then use a heat-proof measuring cup or something to get a half-cup or so (250 ml) of pasta water out of the pot. add a little bit of that salty starchy pasta water and finish cooking the pasta in the sauce while stirring a lot. your sauce has to have enough fat at this stage so if it doesn't add some butter or olive oil or cream or grated parm or any combination. you should end up with a beautifully emulsified sauce that is glossy and clings to every noodle like its life depends on it

on a way more basic note: browning/crispiness only happens in the absence of water, so if you're trying to brown something that's releasing water, make sure the pan isn't crowded, cook it with enough fat, and you can hear the change from when it's releasing water and making steam noises to when it's browning and making frying noises

The main things that have elevated my cooking are kosher salt, fresh cracked pepper, and a cast iron skillet.

Also, it depends on the dish but I like to season in layers almost like I'm painting. I find that you get better depth of flavor that way. For example my chicken soup-I season the chicken thighs, cook them, then Sautee the vegetables in the rendered chicken fat and season a bit more, then once I add the broth I'll give it a taste and lightly season, and then again at the end I'll taste and add any additional seasoning it needs.

White truffle oil to finish basically anything, but especially pasta. You don't need tons, which is good because it ain't cheap.

Secret sauce ingredient: vermouth, especially red or white (Martini Bianco, not regular dry, though that has its place too). Use in place of a splash of wine. Adds a sweet note to savoury sauces and more depth of flavour than just wine.

Chunk of cinammon stick in meaty stews, sauces and chilis.

Cooking fish en papillote. There are various ways to fold the parchment, maybe I'll make a quick video to show you mine.

Speaking of which, parchment paper. Way better than foil for most stuff you might have used foil for. Foil is really only good for covering things or like, protecting things from direct heat, or bbq stuff/live flame since it isn't flammable.

If I think of any others, I'll post more.

the biggest "level up" moment in my home cooking was when I started making my own sauces for individual dishes. it's not always worth it cause it requires extra time though.

i got a really nice stainless steel fry pan for my birthday, and it's very nice. I've always wanted to like cast iron but I've never actually gotten the seasoning to the point where it's nonstick (which I'm sure is a technique problem). but most of the time I don't need a pan to be nonstick, and with this pan I can use any utensil I want and not worry about ruining it or scraping some junk in my food. it's nice and heavy too so it holds heat well

YES! Take some unsalted cashews. Toss in a pan with some oil over low heat. Then finish with cracked black pepper.

Learning a basic Indian curry base has helped me with a lot of that kind of stuff. Basically you need to fry cumin seeds and mustard seed, then diced onions, throw in crushed garlic and ginger, then add your dried red chilis and fresh or frozen green chilis, then your dry spices like chili powder, powdered cumin, and powdered turmeric, and garam masala, then diced tomato, simmer that, add protein, then add some fenugreek and stuff near the end. You can mix and match! It's a curry adventure!

Also making basmati rice with grapeseed oil and salt makes it awesome.
