Today I made some dumplings. Even though they were already precooked, I put them into a kind of vegetable broth to cook them properly (which wasn't really necessary but I did it because I like the ...
Fasolada This Greek soup is made with white beans, vegetables, and olive oil in a tomato base, flavored with paprika (I used smoked). I get most of my fresh vegetables from folks who sell "ugly" p...
Adding milk to a dough is, most of the time, a consideration of adding liquid to a dough in order to avoid a dry end product1. Baked goods tend to be exposed to high heat for a prolonged time so th...
One thing I've had success with is premixing dry ingredients for things like pancakes, muffins, and cornbread. You're essentially creating your own premade mix, and can then add milk and an egg for...
As I pointed out in my comment, it's better to not peel ginger at all. Most of the vitamins of ginger are located right beneath the skin and peeling it essentially removes this thin layer of vitami...
Butter cookies The first cookies I baked this year were some regular butter cookies. Unfortunately, I only found unicorn sprinkles in my local supermarket so this is the unicorn butter cookies edi...
Cinnamon roll cookies This year, I tried something out that I wanted to do for a long time: making cookies that are closely related to cinnamon rolls. Contrary to regular cinnamon rolls which are ...
I mostly use my multipot as a pressure cooker, but today I used its slow-cooker function to make soup. The manual says that when using it as a slow cooker, leave the pressure vent open (not closed...
Can you please ID this dish? It's from Shang Palace in H.K.. I see sesame seeds and carrot slices. But I can't figure out the other ingredients. Thanks.

I'm guessing these are snips of red, orange, green peppers? But then what's the white liquid? Openrice page for Shang Palace in H.K..
When we launched this community, we did not yet have the ability to set different reputation grants for different categories. We've had this for a while but we failed to follow up before now, sorr...
I don't deep-fry either, so this answer is not rooted in personal experience, but are you aware of "splatter screens"? This is a screen of fine mesh mounted in a round frame and with a handle, des...
If you are not overly dedicated to "chili can only be made with red beans" then you're looking at (in broad categories) beans and ground meat, so chili or something like it seems moderately obvious...
This question appears to be trying to create controversy. If you want to make a specific style of food, you may need specialized equipment. Certainly, specialized equipment makes certain things ea...
Vegan cheeses, as already mentioned, vary considerably in melting characteristics. All the various ones I have experience with do not melt at similar temperatures to cow cheese, or to the same ext...
In my personal experience, without resorting to something like injecting the marinade or making cuts for it to get in, it really only affects the outside of the meat for a short distance, even when...
Without a dehydrator, one typically returns to procedures for drying things out that predate the common availability of specialty tools. Assuming you have an oven and a baking sheet (rimmed might ...
One of my anodized nonstick pans[1] has developed a fractal-edged region of a slightly different color than the rest. I suspected that I had accidentally been seasoning my pan[2] and a seasoning la...
Neither of these is going to help with cheeks, but for anyone just with eye sensitivities: A friend introduced me to the concept of "onion glasses," which are apparently transparent lenses with pa...
I am making cheese and as a byproduct I have a decent amount of almond pulp. About 2 kilograms. I soaked and skinned the almonds, blended them and strained them with a nut milk bag. The recipe I'm...
According to Wikipedia, periwinkles, clams, and mussels all belong to the same phylum, Mollusca. Thus I don't understand why the latter can yield delicious broth, but not periwinkles? Don't save...
My parents eat this FROZEN lobster meat from Maine weekly. Each plastic bag of frozen lobster lasts 3 servings for them. But they're too lazy to put 1/3 of the frozen lobster meat into, then fre...
I have mixed powdered milk and hot chocolate in a Nalgene before to celebrate climbing mountains/rock climbs but it has been a while and I don't remember how much of each it takes (I think it was a...
The good news: PLA itself is non-toxic, and is often used in molded applications for food-safe tools. Everything else is pretty much bad news. Your intuition is correct: The print resolution is go...
