90% of any cutting or chopping when I cook is done with a Santoku that my wife got at the dollar store six or seven years ago. This is despite the nice knife block my brother got us as a wedding present, those knives are pretty much only used when the Santoku is in use elsewhere or dirty. Also I use it to crush garlic all the time.

I get way too many new recipes from those quick recipe videos on Facebook (like Tasty). In fact more generally I have a hard time cooking anything good without a recipe open right in front of me or stone-cold memorized.

My wife is Thai and whenever we have people over for dinner we will cook Thai food for them. People are always blown away by our cooking but most Thai food is actually piss-easy to make.

dino. posted:Is it mostly the having of the various ingredients on hand? My friend spend a year in Northern Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, and that general area of the world. When he got back, he started making hella more thai food. Legit, most of it is like. Grill/stir-fry/roast/heat up _______ protein. Add a bunch of shallots, a bit of ginger, some garlic, and lime juice, and sometimes lime leaves. And then throw on a bunch of cilantro because why the hell not. It's so fresh and delicious. You forgot fish sauce! Yeah, part of it is finding the right ingredients and knowing what the dish should taste like, but the actual prep and cooking of Thai food is nothing fancy. Curry is basically -Fry meat and veggies in pot -Mix in curry paste (just use the canned stuff from Maesri, we do) -Mix in 1 can of coconut milk and simmer until served. Add lime/sugar/fish sauce to taste. I taught my 60-year old mother how to make Masaman curry via text message and she blew her friends away with it. Fo3 posted:Yeah, coconut is mainly in the southern curries. I don't think tiggum has had much Thai besides green, red and yellow curries from magazine/internet recipes. Coconut milk is the base for curry "broth" so yeah any Thai curry you eat is probably going to have some coconut. I'm not a huge coconut fan but honestly I've never really been able to taste it in a finished curry. If you can taste the coconut you either have too much milk or not enough paste. Most noodle-based Thai dishes (pad kee mow, pad see ew, my personal favorite rad nar etc.) don't use coconut, I believe. Republicans posted:I got dinner from 7-Eleven twice this week. Wife and I went on vacation in Florida a month ago and I'm pretty sure we had Wawa food for dinner every night we were there.

Fo3 posted:Again, no. That is a southern thing. North Thai curries do not use coconut because there's no coconut growing there. My wife is from north-central Thailand but whenever I've been over I don't think we've eaten northern-style curries, I'll have to check them out next time. I think we have a a can of kaeng pa paste around here too... His Divine Shadow posted:My fiances family come from vietnam and whenever she makes something vaugely asian it's always just crap, sorry to be harsh but that's the truth. Usually it's some random meat and vegetables inna frying pan, then add water, perhaps a bullion cube, fish sauce, then eat with noodles or rice. It's loving disgusting watery blandness is what it is.  Alternatively, make banh mi

Tiggum posted:Same. It's fine, I don't dislike it, it's just not this amazing life-changing thing that some people seem to think it is. I could take it or leave it. There are some foods that I'd be really disappointed if they suddenly vanished from the world somehow, but chocolate isn't one of them. This but bacon.

SymmetryrtemmyS posted:Back in high school before I knew how to cook, I would make microwave cakes sometimes. I forgot what I did to them to make them tolerable - an extra egg maybe? - but they weren't the absolute worst. Pretty bad, though. Breakfast food is appropriate at any time of day IMO so there's nothing to be ashamed of here. My tired-as-gently caress food is frozen grocery store-brand meatballs. If I don't know what else to make I'll chop some of them in half and fry them up with any leftover veggies we have. If I'm really tired I'll just microwave them and eat them plain.
