Qoass February 26, 2016 Share February 26, 2016 Question: I am trying a new recipe in my slow cooker this weekend that is bone-in chicken thighs and vegetables in a sauce. I'm supposed to add a pound of fresh green beans towards the end of the cooking time but all I could find was a bag of frozen. Should I defrost them and add them as directed or put them in frozen a little earlier? Advice, please.

mansonlamps February 27, 2016 Share February 27, 2016 I would personally put them in frozen a little earlier. The crock pot is supposed to make things easier and that sounds easier to me.

Tabbyclaw March 12, 2016 Share March 12, 2016 I have the vaguest request ever. As I mentioned in the baking thread, my New Year's Resolution is to make at least one thing every month that I've never tried before. In January it was macarons (shaky, but a success) and in February it was a chocolate soufflé (pretty much a failure). At some point later in the year, when I have some time to myself, I plan on cooking veal and possibly goat if I can get my hands on it, and I may do eggs benedict for a mother's day brunch in May (hey, it doesn't have to be exotic to be new to me!). But this month my well is running dry. I need suggestions for other foods or techniques I can undertake. I live in a decently-sized city with access to a wide variety of ingredients, my kitchen is well-equipped, and I am totally cool with setting aside an entire day to cook when the mood strikes. Some unusual/specific things I have already made before, most of which I quite enjoyed doing: bread madeleines (due for another attempt, though of course it won't count as new) various cheesecakes venison rabbit from-scratch pie crust whole roasted birds deep-fried foods butter cheese marshmallows Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12531-i-need-a-recipe/page/6/#findComment-2045802

Have you tried sourdough bread? There's also pasta from scratch and you don't need a pasta maker for some of it too.

DeLurker March 14, 2016 Share March 14, 2016 I'm still trying to get the perfect fried rice recipe down. There's a zillion fried rice recipes and ingredients out there, so a google search doesn't help. I would try using peanut oil instead of canola, vegetable, whatever else you might be using. Taste wise to me it makes a difference and that is what my Mom taught me (and she's Taiwanese so it must be right!). And white pepper - always white pepper! I like my fried rice made with fresh rice so I cook it the same day - it will still be warm, but not hot. A lot of recipes suggest using leftover rice, but that doesn't happen in restaurants. I normally add some butter to the pan before I add the rice in. I only use about a tablespoon so not a lot in comparison to the volume of rice I am cooking, but it adds a nice mouth feel IMO. You might find cooking the rice in a broth instead of water amps up the flavor for you. I keep the green onions separated by color - the white part I cook longer when I throw in the veggies. The green part I don't through in until the last few minutes so they get warmed mostly through contact with the other ingredients. I use a lot of green onion in fried rice. I tend to cook things in a particular order - so scrambled eggs first (done like a pancake) move to plate, then meat or shrimp (if raw*) with some of the green onions white parts, move to bowl, veggies with green onion white parts, add butter, add rice, cook and meat (and some juices depending on your taste), add green onions and scrambled eggs that has been cut into slivers. Season everything lightly in the same order except the pancakes (which I leave alone). *If I am using leftover meat, I season it before adding at the end of the veggie cooking. You might try using a seasoning packet from a packet of ramen - I prefer Maruchan oriental flavor, but wouldn't think twice about using beef flavor on pork/chicken/shrimp or vice versa. The roasted chicken seasoning packet is on the mild side for me. It is probably a sodium bomb, but I probably use about 1/2 a packet on a big pan of fried rice. I do add soy sauce right before I add the rice and more later if necessary. Hope something here helps! 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12531-i-need-a-recipe/page/6/#findComment-2051209

krimimimi March 14, 2016 Share March 14, 2016 I wanted to suggest bagels, but others beat me to it. They're on my own bucket list, I've just never quite worked up the nerve to try. Mostly, I guess, because I haven't the freezer space to store any, and it seems like too much work for a small handful. And too risky to try when you're feeding a bunch of hungry guests. So how about Ethiopian food? Chicken Doro Wat, or the carrots and potatoes? If you're really motivated, you can make your own injera, the thin bread it's served on/ eaten with, or just cut corners and use a tortilla. Tastes nothing at all the same, but serves its purpose well enough. Or for non-smelly Korean, as kimchi's out, how about bulgogi? Bulgogi is really tasty. I also like their spinach, but it's fairly heavy on the garlic. DeLurker, I loved your description of how you make your fried rice. Everybody always looks at me funny for sorting my green onions by color. Glad to know I'm not alone. I prefer to use one or two day old rice, because I cook it my "fried" rice in a *very* strong broth. (I just make extra rice on a night when we're having curry or something like that.) I use very little fat in the cooking process, but drizzle a small hit of sesame oil over the rice prior to serving (as long as no one's dieting). That really adds flavor. @MargeGunderson Ooh, that's a definite keeper! I've actually wanted to make kouign-amann ever since seeing it on GBBO, but that's the first recipe I've seen where I feel like I actually understand exactly how to fold it all together.Funny you say that, because I was reminded of a book I was gifted on how to fold origami that was big on descriptions and short on diagrams...

I wonder if it would be less of a taste difference to me if I used a rice maker? Hmmm...of course since the new kitchen has much less space than my old, I doubt if I'll but one just to find out.

krimimimi March 16, 2016 Share March 16, 2016 Well I'm pretty sure sorting the green onions makes a difference in at least some foods. That way the white part can flavor the meat (or whatever) while cooking, and adding the green bits last saves them from becoming mush. It's just that not everybody seems to care about stuff like that. But I'm convinced that seasoning meat while cooking makes a big difference to the end result, and I think texture is also pretty undervalued. But those uninitiated louts scoff, and call it ocd. Meh. We use a rice cooker despite having a very small kitchen. (Basically, if I stand in the middle of the kitchen with my arms extended I can touch all counter surfaces. And I'm not a gorilla.) Totally worth the shelf space. I think it was the very first appliance we bought as a couple. (And our first fight was about how to cook rice properly. That's how I knew he was a keeper. :-)) I also cook rice dishes in the rice cooker, though. Like Spanish rice or Indian lentils and rice. And I even shortcut my risotto with it sometimes. (No one seems to be able to tell, so I figure why not?) I start it out on the stove top, and after the first broth addition cooks down some, I just put it in the rice cooker with the rest of the broth. Saves a lot of time and stirring. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12531-i-need-a-recipe/page/6/#findComment-2056586

Others make this? I haven't thought of this in years. I was beyond a picky eater as a child and while the rest of the fam enjoyed real sauced spaghetti my mom made ^^^ soup-sauce for me. I just knew I wouldn't like all of the (really good) stuff in the real deal. All of your add-ins would have sent memover the I-can't-eat-that edge. I googled it and it's actually a "thing" if you're short spagh. sauce. That and watered down ketchup. Really. Honest. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12531-i-need-a-recipe/page/6/#findComment-2576851

I love it. My husband hates it. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12531-i-need-a-recipe/page/6/#findComment-2576957

Qoass October 19, 2016 Share October 19, 2016 I have a recipe but I need some advice. I made some pasta fagioli soup this weekend and let it simmer a bit too long so I had to add more broth to keep it soupy. After sticking the leftovers in the fridge, I've found that the pasta and veggies absorbed all the liquid so I have a sort of casserole instead of soup. Should I add water? Even more broth? Eat it with a fork? Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12531-i-need-a-recipe/page/6/#findComment-2663782
