/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Overcooked or frozen too long (dehydrated). Probably not even pollock, some cheaper cut sold as pollock.

Cooked on too low of heat. I find with cheap fillets of fish it's best not to cook them right out of the fridge instead of leaving to warm up to room temp.

So I baked the other two, and turned out ok. I think I'll have to stick to deep frying this...

how did you get the rice like that?

That would be good on an Italian bread.
The bread would soak up the oil then it would make an awesome sammach.

I didn't know it was a secret... uhh, just wet a bowl or something, and pack it in, turn upside down.

I'm talking about the consistency lol not the shape, when I make rice it can't hold together like that, and if it does it breaks easily apart. I remember having rice at this one asian restaurant and the rice kept its original formation even though I poked at it.

Depends on the kind of rice. Use sticky rice and don't overcook it. Soak then steam.

Ohh, I used medium grain, soaked for like 6 hours, then drained (get rid of excess starch), added water, cover, bring to boil, reduce heat to simmer, done in like 10 minutes. let set for 5 minutes, fluff and eat epic sticky rice.

much thanks, I was about to say I don't have a rice steamer or cooker whatever those things are called but I guess I don't even need one.

because you put it in there frozen, niggu

>>5254886
Did not. I think it's just really shitty quality. Came frozen, 4 fillets for $2

And how long does that take anon? A couple hours? You think it's safe kitchen practice to keep fish out of the fridge that long? You can do what you want but FYI that lots of fish can spoil in less than an hour.

You realise you can shortcut that whole process by just rinsing the rice in a few changes of water and then cooking it for a little longer? From 6 1/2 hrs to 1/2 hr, your choice but I know which one I'd go with.

Do you ever wonder why everyone hates you?

the fish might have had worms. happens a lot in flaky white fish. lobster too. especially frozen fish.
