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.
@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!
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.
@zelkats okonomiyaki isn't too hard, as long as you have the right ingredients! And patience. It can be a bit messy, though. But it's so delicious. Worth the mess! As for squid ink, if you live close to the ocean I think you can get it at most grocery stores (?). Sadly, I don't live close to the ocean anymore, so I just buy my pasta pre-inked. It's not as good as fresh, but I'll take what I can get ^.^
@sarahrebecca58
I actually meant sharing your recipe with me so that I can try cooking it but I'd love to see pictures of it too! lol xD
@Zanreo
That.. sounds so sinfully delish. I'll try it one day! 8DDD
@kurapikasuki
Ooh, I see! Perhaps I'll try making when I visit my parents back at Malaysia soon.
@Himmi
I can give you the cola chicken recipe if you want Oh geez, why does your cooking look like they came out of a restaurant? D: <3 What's that dessert called?
@AnnaLandin
I grew up in a culture where taters are hardly used and when they are, they usually turn out boring. I kinda want to experience something more than french fries and boiled potatoes. I love mashed potatoes and gnocchi so far! Kroppkakor sounds and looks delicious OoO
I have major respect for people who can bake. I think recipe comics are a good idea. I don't see a lot of those
@ratique
Blue apron? What's that? Mmm that looks great XD What's in the white sauce?
@Cielle
Mmm. I'll try okonomiyaki one weekend. Might as well while I'm still here XD. A simple frying pan should do, right? I have a funny feeling that I might find some instant squid ink sauce for pasta if I looked hard enough XD;;
FOOD TOPIC ! I love food.
I like cooking different dishes, and mostly, dishes of the laziness, like ramen or udon with chicken. Risotto with chicken too. And pasta with tomato sauce + chorizo.
And making some chirashi, and fried noodles.
And scallops with creams and pasta or french fries.
I like making some curry too.2
Today I'll try some noodles with teriyaki sauce and meat.
Great topic! And an important one. since it's the engine of all us comic-creators. I'm a diabetic, so the kind of food i eat is important to me. I like to keep it simple. No high dosed sugar bombs for me. Bread in all kind of ways work the best for me. Like we say in the Netherlands: Smakelijk eten!
It's just yoghurt, cucumber and salt and pepper - pretty simple dish overall.
Blue Apron is a service where you sign up and they send a box to you each week full with ingredients for 3 different meals for two people. Plus recipe.
It helps me, because I am bad at food shopping. I often end up buying things I don't eat, then it goes bad and I throw it away. In Blue Apron everything is sent to me in the perfect amount for the dishes, So I don't have to worry about unused meat or vegetables.
You should google it, zelkats! I can really recommend it.
@zelkats Yep! Lots of bell peppers, mushrooms, onions. Every now and then I put in broccoli as well. Really any vegi I have laying around the house that needs to go, I'll put in spaghetti
oh god Im drooling everywhere... Please guys add reciepes to your posts whenerver possible ! 8D I want to try all your awesome food from all over the world !
I did some kind of ratatouille a few days ago:
It is the simplest thing to do, I swear!
For 4/5 servings, you'll need:
- 2 or 3 bell peppers (you can vary the colors!)
- 2 or 3 zucchinis
- 2 or 3 onions
- 2 or 3 tomatoes, or 250g of cherry tomatoes
(+ an eggplant, but I did without bc I personnaly don't like it)
- as much garlic as you want
- herbs (rosemary, basil, thym, oregan...), salt and pepper
- olive oil
You cut all of that into bits and you put them into your pan
-> the onions first, let them cook in the olive oil
-> then add the bell peppers bits
-> after a few minutes, add the zucchinis (and the eggplant)
-> the tomatoes
-> pepper, herbs
-> cover it and let it cook, stir from time to time
-> when it's cooked, add crushed garlic & salt, give it a bit of heat so the water evaporates a little (not completely, tho)
Devour it!
It's also very good cold and an awesome way to eat the leftovers is to put them in an omelette.
Lately I'm thinking of adding a tofu and seaweed curry soup recipe later.
@mademoiselleallouis That looks absolutely fantastic.
@zerobloodyrose I'm intrigued about the jalapeno in the lentil soup.
I recently discovered I like stuff like Tofurki, so I could easily go vegetarian. Except in the time where I would go to a chinese buffet--that isn't really Chinese but good.
I want to try real Chinese and see if I'd really like it.
I LOVE to cook (and drawing food is good also). I really like food and the cultural impact and tradition it has in different countries, hell, I even tend to watch food docs =T .
I mainly cook for my twin bro, I cook dinners, but we could dine foods that could be considered breakfasts D: ! .
Mmm I make a lot of things like: Pastas (carbonara, aglio e olio, aurora. Just to name a few), Crêpes, French Toasts, different rices (sometines I finish them like you would do with a risotto, with butter and parmigiano cheese).
Sadly I don't have any pics to show T...T. Your stuff looks delicious Zel, and everyone's stuff here, they all look amazing, would like to try all, hahahahaha =P
Regards oo.oo
Wow! o.O These pics about the dishes you made all look so professional! You guys're amazing! I've been living with my boyfriend for a year, so I just started to learn how to cook around that time. We have a REALLY SMALL kitchen, it haven't got even an oven T.T Only a cooktop, so I kinda have a limit what to be able to do ^^; Due to my work I haven't got so much time to cook, but whenever I have free days, I do Today I made pork with garlic and potato. (It hasn't got a name at all XD) What's good about it, is the grease/fat of it can be eat with bread :3
