Recipe Thread

[Team Leith Training]

you know cooking is one of my passions in life (yes i do have a life outside of here of stargazing!).

but you know what i am getting tired of cooking the same old things. So i wondered if a general receipe swap thread might help.

One of my favourites i tend to do is Stilton Steak.

Nicely lightly cooked in a pan of margarine, with onions, garlic and of course stilton cheese.
You need to cook it lightly to avoid searing the steak. Tastes a dream once cooked.

Does anyone here have a nice recipe they would like to share?

How about cooking kit?
for me i love my global knives and my master chef apron!

Inspiration comes naturally when you are in the kitchen.... chicke kiev?? that is already prepackaged and ready to eat isn't it?

Steak done in margarine? That's a serious black mark. Ramsey would ugging crucify you.

(You do know marge is classed as an edible plastic? That's what you are cooking in; plastic. If you are health concious brush in olive oil and use a griddle.)

Don't tell him that!

He might use his global knives to commit Hari Kari .... mind you the chefs apron would come in pretty handy...

chinese recipe I came up with myself:

Sugar coated garilic chicken with noodles.

Chicken breast cut in cubes.
Sliced fresh garlic.
Spring onions sliced.

Corn flour mix with spcies 50/50 proportion.
Spices mainly Chinese 5 Spice with a little ginger (but whatever you fancy really)

Coat chicken generously in flour mix and deep fry in very hot veggie oil until crispy. Remove and add to lightly oiled frying pan with fresh sliced garlic and once garlic is slightly browned add the spring onions and fry for 1-2 min. Don't over cook the onions or they lose flavour. At the end sprinkle a generous helping of sugar over and fry for 30sec.

Boil noodles first then add to wok with very hot seasame oil and coat, add light soya and serve with chicken. The sugar is an important recipe and although a very sweet dish really brings out the flavours of the spice and garlic.

As a matter of fact, did you know that margarine is actually made from bubbling hydrogen gas through vegetable oil over a nickel catalyst. If i remember correctly from my college days

Whatever. It remains a sin, and a heinous, mortal sin to fry anything in marge if you are a foodie or aspiring foodie.
I wouldn't even lick marge off the cherries on Nigella's cupcakes is how bad it is.
Last Tango in Paris didn't have marge...Marge belongs in The Simpsons and nowhere else.

What do you use?

 

[Team Leith Training]

does your rice always come out sticky and coagulated (unless you use a ready made stuff)?

For those who cook it from scratch that is not out of a packet.
Rinse the rice though first (in seive), removes much of the starch.
Then leave it to sit in water (just covered for 20 mins or so).

After, put the rice into boiling water, no more than 20 mins or so. Keep a kettle of boiled water on standby.
Once the rice is done (it wont be crunchy or too hard to eat), scoop it into the seive (or see my hack for an alternative in the hacks thread).
Rinse through with freshly boiled water.

The rice should be nice and fluffy, not sticky and starchy.

Sticky rice is the best.

There's a local pub that sells Fish Finger Sandwiches that consist of a piece of battered cod fillet and doorstop bread, absolutely delicious....
