>red onions not challots
>soy sauce not a beuure blanc
>JASMINE RICE LOL
>Broiling , not grilling or pan frying a delicate piece of fish
Motherfucker do you even cook?

Actually pan frying fish can be fantastic (not salmon though). But white fish can be done by first panfrying in a cm of oil at the bottom of a pan then throwing the whole thing (pan included) into the oven without flipping the fish. Makes a beautiful texture contrast between top and bottom. really nice especially if you know how to properly flavor the fish.

Bitches love cooking. Every man should know to make a benny for the morning after at your apartment.

>>7373131
Please don't try to educate me about cooking lil nigga , i'm a pro chef.
Anyway yeah broiling is mainly for classic french dishes (sole veronique and the like) but you get a way better texture by grilling imo.
I love classic dishes but this shit is a science now and all the modernist techniques are there for a reason.
Keep it up tho , not enough people cook now days.

you better eat it medium rare, if not might as well quit steak and stick to tofu for the rest of your life

>>7373172
of course rare or medium rare all day every day

>>7373170
damn thats pretty cool

i didnt even know about that

now i want to make some boston brown bread lel

I'm just gonna make this pizza, but in an awesome kitchen

I just made some chicken with pesto/broth/cream cheese sauce and some farfalle .

I wish I was not a poor busy student so that I'd have more time and money to dedicate to cooking good food.

>>7373283

Rice with assorted pickles, chicken karaage, roasted seaweed and blanched broccoli.
Lazy dinner tonight.

>>7374018
i can cook extremely well, but i am not an attractive man by any standards

i've been cooking for myself for years.
mostly because i hate going to restaurants alone.

>how to learn

just watch food network, spain on the road again and other shows that are beautifully shot are great influences.

mostly i just grab whatever fresh herbs they have on hand after general society has picked through them at the local 24 hour grocer.

it's usually a lot of mint and kale

i get gifted wine from a neighbor who works as a regional marketing director for a local wine brand. since i suffer from

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_flush_reaction

due to asian, i just cook it down and use it as a flavoring (rarely) to get rid of it. i also tend to gift hundreds of bottles of wine randomly.

verjus sourced locally, lettuce i grow hydroponically (butter leaf) tend to be my favorite. since it only produces enough for a single male once a week, i usually have to supplement it with store bought heads. but whole foods here has the ones with the roots on them, so i plant them

survival rate about 1 in 4 so it's a continuous cycle

i also mix asian foods with grains from south american staples

quinoa, with a little bit of brown rice mixed in occasionally with natto (fermented japanese soy beans)

i have a lemon tree in the back, a small garden.
i am currently trying to source an apple tree. because i love the look of home grown apples (about 1" in diameter)

also when you wake up in the morning, and an overcast day hits the butcher block counter, it's just fucking beautiful and it makes you want to cook y'know?

also sieg has no friends/nobody over so he throws on a cheap thick knit sweater, w/e raw jeans are around. wakes up with a cup of yogurt then starts cooking.

i had an aerogarden (those aeroponics kits teenagers use to gro marijuana) but my herbs kept dying in it basil and mint didn't like being inside, despite having a beautiful aroma.

/pathetic life
but it's mine

>>7375654
>>Broiled
>>Jasmine rice
i imagine a tough fillet, soft loose rice that isn't seasoned. unpleasant texture of the two mixed together, and potentially bland flavoring

why not ditch the processed, white rice. and flavor another grain with rice vinegar.
and present a sashimi fillet, in the japanese aburi style? if you like that seared texture, but want to preserve the raw, flavoring that goes well with rice?

light citrus seasoning, pre-heat cast iron pan (well seasoned), lightly sear both sides quickly
remove from heat. if more cooking desired, cook with a technique most people use to cook lobster tail, take heated liquid and slowly get it to where you're comfortable with it

>>7373113
Just baked a loaf of gluten free bread for breakfast made coffee.

>>7373131
Pan fried salmon is great. Leave the skins on and the skin gets crunchy. . . yum

>>7375731
if you don't have 4 paws then you don't eat salmon skin, rules of my house

princess agrees

>>7374018
please be in bristol

yesterday I made a neapolitan ragu with pork belly (poverty meat because I'm poverty af)

I don't know what to make today. I'm thinking of getting some beef and making a tagine with dates, almonds and honey.

>50K+ German kitchen

>>7375744
>be moroccan
>love going to morocco
It's because of the tagines.

>>7375734
cool

>>7375745
Beautiful

>>7375698
hey I have alcohol flush reaction too which is strange since I'm 75% English 25% Sicilian and no one else in my family has it

>>7375751
I can only imagine. I'm not great at making tagine or even curry for that matter. My older brother is a chef and he was teaching me but he moved to Barcelona a few months ago.

>>7375756
Sucks man. My dad who grew up in morocco always says the secret is not to cook hungry and to have patience. He's a great chef so i'm taking his word

>>7375759
I'll note that, thanks

>>7375698
dw seig I still love you, you're best trip

>>7375723
Idk man, I only ever used to like eating brown rice, but ever since I got introduced to a new household (ty Asian mum cooking) properly prepared white rice is amazing, just as a light & fluffy snack or as a side
And chocolate rice man, that's fucking incredible

As far as salmon goes though I don't really like eating most fish, so whenever I cook it for others it's pretty much always fried/seared through
I'll give what you're saying a shot though
ty based seig


>>7375744
>Pork belly
>Poverty meat
What're you on about man? Pork belly is fucking amazing
Roasted
Fried
>That texture

>>7375754
>Alcohol flush reaction
Yeah I get it too, and I'm half Aus/half wog
>Like half this fucking country
So yeah, fuckin' genetics

>>7375759
>Not to cook hungry
That can be good for innovation, though
Not so much if you want an actually great meal that time

yeah my /ck/ niggas

livin that cook life bitches love food. everyone loves food.

>>7375772
I really hurry when i cook hungry.
It's shit but it gets done quickly

>>7375768
yeah I know I really like it but it's still the cheapest meat around

doesn't work as well as less fatty meats but I'm bulking atm so i need all the calories i can get

>>7375768
i can guarantee you that you don't like fish because of improper preparation leading to fucked flavor or texture.

next time you get salmon, not frozen, fat white stripes (it's like marbling on beef, but with salmon it doesn't have to be marbled, just fatty) preferably wild caught

yeah steamed white rice is fucking amazing, but keep in mind what white rice is infact a junk food. a side of white rice is the equivalent of eating a medium fry from mcdonalds and has about the nutrional value of a snickers bar

>>7375785
> keep in mind what white rice is infact a junk food. a side of white rice is the equivalent of eating a medium fry from mcdonalds and has about the nutrional value of a snickers bar
this is complete bullshit. you are probably fat because you believe this and thinking you'll be no worse going to mcfatties than cooking rice.

>>7375794
tfw you're going to look at the nutrition facts on the back of short white grain rice next time you're waiting next to the steamer/rice cooker and shit bricks

seriously, that shit is horrible for you.

https://www.google.com/search?q=white+rice+vs+potato&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=fflb

just an fyi
some lower end sushi places also sweeten their white rice with a simple syrup mixture and a little bit of white vinegar rather than rice vinegar

>>7375820
confirmed lardfuck

mcfats fries on right

read the google link
mcdonalds uses really bad oil aka transfat oil (solid at room temp) because it's cheaper
and they add massive amounts of sodium so you get addicted to it.

but in general, 1 serving potato > white rice
if you get a small bowl of rice vs a medium fry, better off with the medium fry as lng as you use mustard as the only condiment

>>7375784
>Still the cheapest meat around
Wow, Bristol right? Weird
Still, I guess good meat can be expensive as fuck these days

>>7375785
>Because of improper preparation leading to fucked flavour or texture
I actually think this might be it
So what do you suggest, just going to a good fishmonger and looking for fresh, preferably wild-caught with those fatty stripes and then cooking it myself the way I usually would?

>Rice
Yeah, tasty as fuck though. Have you tried chocolate rice? That shit is fucking incredible

Is that what helped contribute to rice becoming such a staple of so many cultures' food, by any chance?
>Been trying to learn more about food history

>>7375851
no you retard you said white rice is worse than mcdonalds medium fries which is 120g i dont give a fuck what you link says

you are still wrong a medium fries is still worse than an equal side of rice you fucking fat piece of shit

your stats are only for completely unflavoured boiled/steamed potato not for fried potato you retard
>fatty logic

>>7375857
i would yes. give it a legit try.

cook it the way you like it, un seasoned. it's going to be bland, but get a taste of the fish.

then season to YOUR taste. no chef is going to make the perfect fish, he doesn't know how sensative your palette is, he doesn't know what you were raised on, he doesn't know what your individual tastes are.

but you can figure it all out if you give the fish a true chance

most resturant's overcook the fuck out of fish that have been frozen for years

>>7375869
Alright man, it all pretty much makes sense to me now - I'll give it a go and see how I like it!
Thanks very much Seig, much appreciated as always - I'll let you know how go

>>7375857
Yeah Bristol. By calories it's by far the cheapest and I hate mince meat.
