What stuff do you cook?

[TristanJensen]

I've never tired making that in a rice cooker... that does sound good

[zelkats]

You can post pictures anytime XD

Cooking takes up a lot of time, which is mostly why I hardly cook these days unless I'm craving for something that's not available in take-outs or restaurants. Simple stuff like rice and fish/meat is completely understandable lol.

I don't have a lot of knowledge about Pho, nor have I eaten much Pho. I'm really curious about that. How is it made?

[zelkats]

Apparently rice-cooker mac n cheese is the shortcut way of making non-instant mac n' cheese without using an oven..?

I made the mistake of using condensed milk instead of evaporated milk. And it tasted... sweet and awful, lol.

I tried to salvage it by adding vinegar. It was bearable for a short while until I had to eat the leftovers the next day. I felt so sick XD

I'm a curry chef. I'll use thai curry paste in anything I like. Though my favorite is red curry (the variety with the coconut milk), I also enjoy cooking red curry rice. Finally found the way to slice chicken thinly.

[SpavVy]

Yeah pork and butter are pretty sinful xD I can agree. I was never really a huge fan of eating pig but I do like ham with mashed potatoes °^° especially my mom's mashed potatoes. My dad is a major health freak so when I lived with him it was the all natural stuff, even the meat he bought was from organic farms that raise buffalo. I'm almost 22 and practically on my own now and he still gets on my case about what I eat xD

Awww I wish I would have known about this thread, since I just ate all of my turkey meatball pitas. I was reall proud of them too!

I will probably cook again this weekend, then I shall take pictures!

[allenthomas]

Eggs, chicken, and pasta. That makes up about 75% of what I cook. I fix other meals from time to time, but those make up what I eat on a regular basis.

I usually eat combinations of lean meat/canned tuna, sweet potatoes, nuts, fruits, and vegetables (I have a really weak digestive system so I have to be careful of what and how much I eat), but I do like to cook! Usually different kinds of pasta and soup recipes and Korean dishes. Here are a few I did a while back

A Korean pork dish with kimchi (보쌈)

Korean chicken soup with rice, dates, and ginseng (I just use ginger cuz I'm cheap lol) (삼계탕)

[WintreKitty]

I can make a mean hash brown casserole and I've been told my spaghetti is "pretty bad ass" (I add a lot of colourful vegetables).

[Cielle]

I don't have any pictures >.< but my favorite things to cook are mabo tofu, kimchi poke, and okonomiyaki (hiroshima style~).
also, squid ink pasta is always fun! I usually only make it around Halloween, though. Somehow, eating black noodles just seems like an October activity to me ^.^

[eethy]

Well I don't mean to brag, but let's just say I know my way around a kitchen. Specifically, the one at my last apartment. The current one kind of confuses me, so I don't go in it unless it's an emergency. To be honest, I have no idea what the hell is going on in there.

Anyway, the key is to start with quality ingredients, then stop, before something horrible happens, and find someone who knows how to cook them.

Here's my second most popular dish. I'd give you guys the recipe, but it's a secret.

[SpavVy]

@eethy
that bowl really needs to be cleaned e.e'

[zelkats]

Oh God, LOL. What flavours does it come with? XD

[Zanreo]

I like cooking, especially desserts... but I don't have always have a lot of time for it, sadly.

@sarahrebecca58
Omg, I love Thai curries! My favourite is green curry but yellow and red are good too as long as they have coconut milk in 'em. I've been eating instant curry, though. Never made one with the green curry paste I had, which I should have. I have some coconut milk that needs to be used so, can you share how you make your curries?

@Savannah
Oh wow. That sounds like a super healthy lifestyle-- something I'm not used to at all XD;; Wait. Have you guys eaten buffalo? lol

@ratique
Never heard of turkey meatball pitas before. What are they like?

@allenthomas
That's pretty much what I've been eating a lot lately. The simplest and cheapest of ingredients. XD

@ArtistHan
I just... Wow! Some of these look very similar to the Chinese food I grew up eating-- especially that pork dish (minus the kimchi of course, but that looks like a good combination) 8D. Ey, nothing wrong with ginger there XD Oh, God. I haven't eaten lunch yet and I'm super hungry now.

@WintreKitty
Oh my God, I want hash browns. The closest I can get here is McD's hb but there isn't even a McD's in the town I live in DX Also, I want me some badass spaghetti. What vegies did you put in? Bell peppers? XD

@Cielle
Wow! Okonomiyake always seems pretty complicated to make to me. I should try it one day Eh? Where do you get your squid ink from? I've never seen them in stores in the places I've been to

@Zanreo
Yeah, cooking always takes time T_T. Otherwise I'd be cooking up a storm more often.

[sarahrebecca58]

Sure, i'll need to find a way to get a color picture though. Red Curry Fried Rice is my favorite.^^

One down side now though, is unless it's like some Japanese place in the mall, fried rice you'd get at a buffet doesn't quite feel the same anymore cause one gets used to spicy food.

[Zanreo]

A snack I like making from time to time:

Get some apples, peel them and cut them into pieces. Roll them in sugar, fry them and then add lemon juice, honey and soy sauce (how much of each is up to you) and some water. Mix together and eat : D

I don't have a lot of knowledge about Pho, nor have I eaten much Pho. I'm really curious about that. How is it made?

It's none too hard, just takes a while. I don't make it as often as my dad though he's much less lazy than me when it comes to cooking. Just boil the soup ingredients for about an hour, and separately soak the noodles in water for about a half hour (remove from water) then serve the broth and add the noddles, meat, fresh seasoning leafy green stuff, green onions, bean sprouts, and such in your bowl.

[Himmi]

@zelkats Your photos make me so hungry. I really want to try my hand at making those cola wings, it looks ace!
@kurapikasuki Pho is so amazing!! I've never tried making it but now I might have to give it a try! (also your username is awesome)

I got a slow cooker for my birthday so I've been making a lot of stews and pulled meats recently. Salad makes everything guilt-free right? ( ´∀｀)

I also love baking!

[AnnaLandin]

I don't cook much, but when I do, it's potatoes. Well, I can cook other stuff as well - I haven't managed to give anyone food-poisoning yet! - but I have, like, a black belt in potatoes.

Mashed potatoes, fried potatoes, potato gratin, oven-baked potatoes, gnocchi, that old Swedish classic kroppkakor - or potato dumplings with fried pork inside:

... etc., etc. Potatoes are delicious.

But honestly, I'm more into baking. Cookies and pies and crumbles and chocolate cake and whatnot. I've been seriously been considering doing recipe-comics about it, but I haven't found the time for it yet.
