  • 8 strips Canadian-style bacon
  • 4 English muffins, split
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened

COMMENT Directions

  1. To Make Hollandaise: Fill the bottom of a double boiler part-way with water. Make sure that water does not touch the top pan. Bring water to a gentle simmer. In the top of the double boiler, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, white pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon water.
  2. Add the melted butter to egg yolk mixture 1 or 2 tablespoons at a time while whisking yolks constantly. If hollandaise begins to get too thick, add a teaspoon or two of hot water. Continue whisking until all butter is incorporated. Whisk in salt, then remove from heat. Place a lid on pan to keep sauce warm.
  3. Preheat oven on broiler setting. To Poach Eggs: Fill a large saucepan with 3 inches of water. Bring water to a gentle simmer, then add vinegar. Carefully break eggs into simmering water, and allow to cook for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Yolks should still be soft in center. Remove eggs from water with a slotted spoon and set on a warm plate
  4. While eggs are poaching, brown the bacon in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and toast the English muffins on a baking sheet under the broiler.
  5. Spread toasted muffins with softened butter, and top each one with a slice of bacon, followed by one poached egg. Place 2 muffins on each plate and drizzle with hollandaise sauce. Sprinkle with chopped chives and serve immediately.

Canning

COMMENT Apple Pectin

:PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: canning :END: :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: apple-pectin :END: source: https://www.escoffier.edu/blog/recipes/how-to-make-fruit-pectin/, servings: 1 1/2 cups, time: 24 hours (60 minutes active cooking)

Ingredients:

  • 7 large, tart apples
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

COMMENT Choosing your apples

The type of apple used is very important for this recipe, and will make or break your pectin’s effectiveness. As an apple ripens, its pectin is broken down. This means that the riper your apples, the less pectin you’ll have in your final product. To figure out how ripe an apple is, observe its appearance. The best apples will be green, harder than ripe apples, and will taste sour. These apples have the most pectin and will be best for this recipe.

As you begin working with your homemade pectin, you’ll become familiar with how much you’ll need for different recipes. Start off using the amounts suggested, and adjust as needed for the strength of your pectin.

Instructions:

  1. Wash the apples, but do not peel them.
  2. Cut apples into quarters, core included.
  3. Put apples in a large pot, add water and lemon juice. Bring mixture to boil.
  4. Let boil for 40 minutes, stirring at the halfway mark.
  5. Strain the mixture through cheesecloth. Let the mixture strain overnight to get the most pectin.
  6. Boil the pectin and cook until reduced by half – about 20 minutes.
  7. Refrigerate to use within four days, or store in the freezer for up to six months.

Coffee Jelly

Ingredients

:PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: coffee-jelly :END: source: https://www.foodiewithfamily.com/coffee-jelly/, servings: 5-6 8oz jars

COMMENT Directions

  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 5 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/3 cups Dutch gel pectin
  • 5 to 6 jelly jars with new two-piece lids. 8 ounce
  1. Stir the coffee and lemon juice together in a 4 quart saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and Dutch Gel Pectin. Add the sugar to the boiling coffee mixture all at once, and whisk vigorously for 2 minutes, or until the pectin and sugar are fully dissolved into the solution. Return the mixture to a full rolling boil, and boil for exactly 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat, ladle into clean 8 ounce jars, wipe the rims with a damp paper towel, and screw on new, two-piece lids until fingertip tight.
  2. Use the Boiling Water Bath method to process the jars for 10 minutes. Carefully transfer to a cooling rack or a tea towel on the counter and let cool, undisturbed, overnight. After the jars are cooled, remove the rings, wipe clean, and label. The jelly should be stored in a dark place -preferably a cool one- free of temperature fluctuations. It is best used within the year.

Pickled Jalapeño Peppers

:PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: pickled-jalapenos :END: source: https://vanillaandbean.com/pickled-jalapeno-peppers/, servings: 3x 16oz jars, prep-time: 20 minutes, cook-time: 15 minutes

<p>
<img src="/img/food/pickled-jalapeno.jpg" alt="pickled jalapenos" title="pickled jalapenos" class="photo">
</p>

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs (675g) Jalapeño Peppers
  • 2 C (530g) Water
  • 2 C (515g) Distilled White Vinegar
  • 2 Tbs Fine Sea Salt
  • 2 Tbs Cane Sugar
  • 2 Fat Cloves of Garlic minced

COMMENT Directions

  1. Sterilize three, 16oz jars and lids. The National Center for Home Food Preservation shows us how: source: https://nchfp.uga.edu/how/can_01/sterile_jars.html.
  2. Throughly wash the peppers and chop into rings. To protect hands from those burning pepper oils, wear disposable gloves and wash your hands throughly after handling the peppers.
  3. In a medium sauce pot, bring the vinegar, water, salt and sugar to a boil. Add the peppers and garlic to the vinegar water, stir then remove from heat. Allow the peppers to set in the brine solution for for 15 minutes. You'll notice the color of the pickles turn from bright green to a duller shade. Meanwhile, decide if canning or quick/refrigerator pickling the peppers and prepare by reading A or B below.
  4. Once the peppers have changed color, pack the jars with the peppers, while also scooping the brine into jars. Use a spoon to gently pack the rings if needed, to make room for more (they can be packed in pretty tight). Top with brine and more peppers as needed. Leave about a 1/2″ (1.3cm) head space at the top of each jar.
  5. At this point, you have two options. Can the peppers or quick/refrigerator pickle them.
  6. If Canning:
  7. Bring a large canner or your largest stock pot of water to a boil (at least a 10 quart (9.5L)) pot. You want the pot large enough to cover the jars with about one inch of water and hold as many jars as can fit for processing.
  8. Place the jar lids in a shallow pan and pour boiling water over the lids. This softens the rubber seals and readies them for canning. Allow the lids to set until you're ready to lid the jars.
  9. Lid the peppers and gently twist the lid rings on the jars.
  10. Once the stock pot water is boiling, gently place the jars in the water and set a timer for 10 minutes and process the jars.
  11. After 10 minutes, remove the jars from the water, dry off with a towel and set aside to cool.
  12. For Quick/Refrigerator Pickled Jalapeños: Simply place the lidded jars in the refrigerator. They'll last for several months and be ready for snacking in about 24 hours, or in an hour for the quickest pickle! They taste better with a little time on them.
  13. If your jalapeños are canned, listen for the lid to pop - this means your jars are sealed and ready for long term storage at room temperature. If the lid doesnt pop or seal, place them in the refrigerator and treat them as quick pickled Jalapeños. If you're going for a refrigerator quick pickle, the lid doesn't need to pop, rather your peppers are ready to be refrigerated right after lidding the jar.
  14. Quick pickled jalapeños can last several months in the fridge or if properly canned, up to one year at room temperature. Once a jar is opened, store in the refrigerator. An open jar of canned or quick pickled jalapeños will last months in the refrigerator.

Directions

  1. Sterilize three 16oz jars and lids in a boiling water bath.
  2. Wash peppers and cut into rings.
  3. Bring vinegar, water, salt, and sugar to a boil. Add peppers and garlic to vinegar water, then stir and remove from heat. Allow peppers to sit in the brine for 15 mintues. They will turn a duller shade of green.
  4. Pack peppers into jars fairly tight and pour brine over them. Leave 1/2" headroom over peppers.
  5. To seal jars:
  6. Bring large pot to a boil, there should be enough water to cover top of jars with an inch of water.
  7. Lid peppers and gently tighten rings on jars.
  8. Boil jars for 10 minutes.
  9. Dry off jars and set aside to cool.
  10. If not sealing, just put in the refrigerator, and they will be ready in 24 hours. They will stay good for several months.

Strawberry Jalapeño Jam

:PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: strawberry-jalapeno-jam :END: source: https://www.food.com/recipe/strawberry-jalapeno-jam-474371, servings: 8 half pints approx, prep-time: 40 minutes, cook-time: 20 minutes, ready-in: 1 hour

<p>
<img src="/img/food/strawberry-jalapeno.jpg" alt="Jars of strawberry jalapeno jam."  title="Jars of strawberry jalapeno jam." class="photo">
</p>

Ingredients

  • 4 cups crushed strawberries (discard stems and leaves), or 4 cups blended pears for pear jalapeño jam
  • 1 cup jalapeño pepper (processed in food processer)
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 (1 3/4 ounce) package powdered fruit pectin
  • 7 cups granulated sugar (yes this is the right amount...it's jelly!)

COMMENT Directions

  1. Sterilize eight half pint canning jars with lids and rings, boiling for at least 5 minutes and kept hot.
  2. Place the crushed strawberries (do not chop in a food processer; the texture will be too fine and choppy), processed jalapeño pepper, lemon juice and pectin into a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan; stir in the sugar to dissolve. Rapidly bring to a boil over high heat (long, slow boiling destroys the pectin). Once at a full rolling boil, cook for 1 full minute. One half teaspoon butter may be added to keep down the foam, if desired. Letting this mixture sit for about 5 minutes discourages the fruit from separating.
  3. Pack the jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
  4. Process 10 minutes in a boiling water canner. Remove the jars and place onto a cloth-covered or heat-resistance surface. (While cooling, I shake frequently to redistribute content.) Allow to cool overnight. Store in a cool, dark area.

Directions

  1. Sterilize 8 half pint canning jars.
  2. Place crushed strawberries, processed jalapenos, lemon juice, and pectin in a large pot.
  3. Stir in sugar while stirring over heat. Bring to a rolling boil and keep for 1 minute before removing from heat.
  4. Fill jars with jam and process in hot water bath.

Boston Cream Donuts

:PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: boston-cream-doughnuts :END: source: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1017066-boston-cr, servings: 12-20 Donuts, ready-in: About 3 hours, mostly unattended

<p>
<img src="/img/food/donuts.jpg" alt="Homemade donuts with different kinds of glaze." title="Homemade donuts with different kinds of glaze." class="photo donut">
</p>

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 2 eggs
  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 quarts neutral oil

COMMENT Directions

  1. Heat the milk until it is warm but not hot, about 90 degrees. In a large bowl, combine it with the yeast. Stir lightly, and let sit until the mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.
  2. Using an electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, beat the eggs, butter, sugar and salt into the yeast mixture. Add half of the flour (2 cups plus 2 tablespoons), and mix until combined, then mix in the rest of the flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Add more flour, about 2 tablespoons at a time, if the dough is too wet. If you’re using an electric mixer, the dough will probably become too thick to beat; when it does, transfer it to a floured surface, and gently knead it until smooth. Grease a large bowl with a little oil. Transfer the dough to the bowl, and cover. Let rise at room temperature until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface, and roll it to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut out the donuts with a donut cutter, concentric cookie cutters or a drinking glass and a shot glass (the larger one should be about 3 inches in diameter), flouring the cutters as you go. Reserve the donut holes. If you’re making filled donuts, don’t cut out the middle. Knead any scraps together, being careful not to overwork, and let rest for a few minutes before repeating the process.
  4. Put the donuts on two floured baking sheets so that there is plenty of room between each one. Cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place until they are slightly puffed up and delicate, about 45 minutes. If your kitchen isn’t warm, heat the oven to 200 at the beginning of this step, then turn off the heat, put the baking sheets in the oven and leave the door ajar.
  5. About 15 minutes before the donuts are done rising, put the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, and heat it to 375. Meanwhile, line cooling racks, baking sheets or plates with paper towels.
  6. Carefully add the donuts to the oil, a few at a time. If they’re too delicate to pick up with your fingers (they may be this way only if you rose them in the oven), use a metal spatula to pick them up and slide them into the oil. It’s O.K. if they deflate a bit; they’ll puff back up as they fry. When the bottoms are deep golden, after 45 seconds to a minute, use a slotted spoon to flip; cook until they’re deep golden all over. Donut holes cook faster. Transfer the donuts to the prepared plates or racks, and repeat with the rest of the dough, adjusting the heat as needed to keep the oil at 375.
  7. For the glaze, whisk together 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth. Dip the tops of the donuts in the glaze, and let it harden on a rack.
  8. Combine 2/3 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, 2 tablespoons cornstarch and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan. Over medium heat, whisk in 2 eggs and 2 cups cream. Continue cooking, whisking almost constantly, until the mixture just begins to boil and thickens, about 10 minutes. Adjust the heat so the mixture bubbles gently; cook until it coats the back of a spoon (when you draw your finger through this coating, the resulting line should hold its shape). Stir in 2 tablespoons softened unsalted butter and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, and cool to room temperature before using.
  9. To fill the donuts with the pastry cream, insert the tip of a pastry bag filled with cream into the side of the donut, and squeeze. (Alternatively, poke a chopstick into the side of the donut, and wiggle it around to hollow out some space inside. Plunge a small funnel into the hole, spoon some filling into the funnel and use the chopstick to push it into the donut. If the filling clumps up toward the center of the donut, just press lightly on the top to distribute it evenly.)

COMMENT Directions

  1. Warm milk to ~90F, combine with yeast and sugar in a bowl. Stir and let sit until foamy.
  2. Beat eggs, butter, and salt into yeast mixture. Slowly add flour and beat with dough hook. Once the dough forms a ball, knead on a floured surface. Transfer to a greased bowl, cover and let rise for 1 hour.
  3. Roll dough to 1/2 inch on a floured surface. Cut to shape with a glass. Knead scraps together and repeat.
  4. Transfer to floured baking sheets and cover to rise, leave room between them. If the kitchen isn't warm enough, warm oven slightly to rise for another 45 minutes.
  5. Start heating oil to 375F 15 minutes before rising finishes. Prepare cooling rack or paper towels.
  6. Add donuts to oil in batches, pick them up with a metal spatula if needed. Cook until golden and remove to rack.
  7. For the glaze, whisk together 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth. Dip the tops of the donuts in the glaze, and let it harden on a rack.
  8. For cream filling, combine 2/3 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, 2 tablespoons cornstarch and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan. Over medium heat, whisk in 2 eggs and 2 cups cream.

  5. Cook dough in skillet without any toppings or sauce until the bottom is browned as much as you like, usually a few minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and add sauce, cheese, and any other toppings. I used 1/3 cup of pasta sauce made with onions and tomatoes from the garden, mixed with a teaspoon of sugar and a tablespoon of olive oil. For the cheese, I used monterey jack, but low fat mozzarella would be less greasy.
  7. Cook under the broiler on high for 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and browned.
  8. Carefully remove from pan and place on a cooling rack. Let it cool a few minutes before cutting into it.

Sesame Chicken

<p>
<img src="/img/food/sesame-chicken.jpg" alt="Sesame chicken with rice and broccoli." title="Sesame chicken with rice and broccoli." class="photo">
</p>

Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken thigh cut into 1.5 inches cubes
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1.5 tsp of soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp of salt
  • 3/8 tsp of baking soda
  • 1 egg white
  • 0.5 tbsp of starch add it to the marinade
  • 1 cup of Potato starch use it to coat the chicken
  • 2 tbsp of Honey
  • 3 tbsp of brown sugar
  • 2.5 tbsp of Soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp of water
  • 2.5 tbsp of ketchup
  • 1 tbsp of vinegar
  • Potato starch water to thicken the sauce 2 tsp of potato starch mixed with 2 tsp of water
  • 1 tbsp of sesame oil
  • 1.5 tbsp of Toasted sesame seeds
  • Diced scallion as garnish

COMMENT Directions

  1. Cut some boneless and skin on chicken leg into 1-inch size pieces. I prefer dark meat when making fried chicken. It gives you a juicer and tender result. And yes, you can use chicken breast if you wish to.
  2. Marinate the chicken with 1 tsp of grated garlic, 1.5 tsp of soy sauce, 1/2 tsp of salt, some black pepper to taste, 3/8 tsp of baking soda, 1 egg white, and 1/2 tbsp of starch. Cornstarch, potato or sweet potato starch, they all work, depends on what you used for the coating later. Mix everything until well combined. Cover it and let it sit for 40 minutes.
  3. While waiting, let’s prepare the coating. I have been testing different ingredients for that. I found out that using sweet potato starch makes the crispiest sesame chicken. This is what I am using. Most oriental markets will carry it. You can also use potato starch or cornstarch. They will give you a similar result.
  4. Besides the ingredient, I will show you a unique method to make your sesame chicken extra crunchy. Fluff the starch a little. Get a spread bottle. Gently spread a tiny bit of water into the starch few times. Some of the starch will clump up and create some mini little balls. You just wait for 10 seconds to let it set and use the whisk to stir it. Then spread more water, wait for 10 seconds and stir it again. Do this 4 times in total.
  5. After that, if you touch the starch, you can feel those little lumps which will give some extra crunch to the chicken. Maybe some of you never heard this method before. Give it a try, you will be surprised.
  6. Dump half of the starch into a big container. Spread it out. Add in the chicken. Do not throw in the chicken all in once or else they will stick together. Try to separate them piece by piece.cover the meat with the other half of the starch. Put on the lid and shake for a few minutes. Al the chicken pieces should be coated with flour evenly. Pick out the meat and shake off all the excess flour.
  7. I already heat up the oil to 380 Add in the chicken piece by piece so they don’t stick together. Don’t crow the pan because it overflows easily. Do it in batches if you need to. Safety is the most important. The temperature is hight. In less than 2 minutes, you can feel that the surface is getting crispy and the color is slightly yellow. Take them out. Then we gonna do the second batch. Before that, you might want to fish out all those small little bits. It is optional but it does affect the quality of the oil.
  8. Keep the temperature at 380 F, and fry the second batch of the chicken. Once you are done, let all the chicken rest for about 15 minutes and we gonna double fry the chicken. Double frying will stabilize the crunchiness so it last longer. At the end we will coat the chicken with some glossy sauce If you don’t double fry it, the chicken might not be crispy while serving. You just keep an eye on the color. In about 2 or 3 minutes, it will reach that beautiful golden color. Take them out and set it aside.
  9. Next, we gonna make the sauce. In a large bowl, add in 3 tbsp of brown sugar, 2 tbsp of liquid honey, 2.5 tbsp of soy sauce, 2.5 tbsp of ketchup, 3 tbsp of water, 1 tbsp of vinegar. Mix them until well combined.
  10. Put your wok on the stove and pour all the sauce in. There is some sugar sink in the bottom of the bowl, make sure you clean that. Keep stirring the sauce on medium heat. Bring it to a boil and pour in some potato starch water to thicken the sauce. This just 2 tsp of potato starch mixed with 2 tsp of water. Keep stirring until it reaches a thin syrup texture. Introduce the chicken back into the wok, along with a drizzle of sesame oil and 1.5 tbsp of a toasted sesame seed. Toss everything until the chicken is coated nicely. Take them out. Garnish it with some diced scallion and you are done.

Directions

  1. Cut chicken into 1 inch cubes
  2. Marinate chicken with 1 tsp of grated garlic, 1.5 tsp of soy sauce, 1/2 tsp of salt, some black pepper to taste, 3/8 tsp of baking soda, 1 egg white, and 1/2 tbsp of starch. Mix until well combined. Cover and let sit for 40 mins
  3. Heat oil to 380F. Prepare starch on plate for dipping chicken
  4. Take each piece and cover in starch before placing it in the fryer.
  5. Fry each batch until golden, temperature should be 165F. Place on a paper towel or cooling rack.
  6. To make sauce, get a large bowel and add 3 tbsp of brown sugar, 2 tbsp of liquid honey, 2.5 tbsp of soy sauce, 2.5 tbsp of ketchup, 3 tbsp of water, 1 tbsp of vinegar.

Spam Fried Rice

COMMENT IMPORTANT: A cup of cooked rice is VERY different from a cup of uncooked rice.

:PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: spam-fried-rice :END: source: yungmysterymane

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of cooked rice, cooled
  • 1 egg
  • 2 slices of Spam (or 1 Spam Single)
  • 3 tablespoons of rice grain oil
  • 1 tablespoon of shoyu soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon of butter
  • Ichimi togarashi (red pepper)
  • salt
  • cracked black pepper
  • dried parsley

COMMENT Utensils:

1 frying pan 1 small bowl 1 cutting board 1 spatula 1 large spoon (this makes turning the rice in smaller pans really easy) 1 fork

COMMENT Directions:

  1. So first, you wanna fry your Spam. Depending on your pan, you probably don't have to grease it for the Spam, thought a pinch of butter can't hurt Make sure both sides are crisp on the outside, but not burned. Once it's done, remove it from the pan, and set it on the cutting board.
  1. Now we chop up the spam. It doesn't have to be perfect, but you want to make it small cubes if possible. Leave that set aside once you're done.
  1. Egg time. Put the teaspoon of butter in your pan. You're gonna want that pan at medium-ish heat, because we're cracking and scrambling an egg in it quickly. Once the pan has that buttery coating going for it, crack your egg into it,    get a dash of black pepper, pinch of salt, and some ichimi togarashi (maybe some of the dried parsley too) and start scrambling it. You want to make sure it's soft, but cooked all the way, place the egg aside in that small bowl we have in the handy dandy utensils list. I like to also keep the Spam in the same bowl at this point. Cover it with a paper towel to keep it warm.
  1. Alright, we back at the pan now. Rice grain oil is a bit of a strange one for some people. It's an absolutely flavorless oil. That means it's a blank canvas for us to make taste like whatever we want. In this case, we wanna make it taste rad as hell. So we're gonna add the 3 tablespoons of oil to the pan with our single tablespoon of minced garlic, some salt, black pepper, dried parsley and ichimi togarashi. The amount of those seasonings that you use completely depends on how strong you want those flavors to be. I will say that I use less salt then the other seasonings listed. You're going to let all these flavors get to know each other, swirl the oil in the pan a bit to make sure the garlic is cooking.
  1. So once you have the garlic golden brown in the pan, it's almost time to fry your rice. You want to have all the necessary ingredients ready for this. Get your cup of cooked rice, ready to dump in the pan, and keep your bowl of fried Spam and scrambled eggs within arms reach as well. Now you wanna get your tablespoon of shoyu ready to add to the oil. Important, it's gonna sizzle, it might even be a little scary since you have this stove on medium heat (I have a gas stove). That's fine, put it in, give it a quick stir as it sizzles, and then dump your rice in immediately.
  1. Start turning and stirring that rice in the pan. You want to get it coated with the oil and soy sauce, and you want it to all get some flavor. As the rice starts to fry, you'll see it start to turn golden. That means it's time to add the egg and Spam to the pan now, and keep stirring and turning. Remember, it should look like the picture provided by the time you finish cooking. That's it! Serve it in a bowl, if you have a big cup of chopsticks like me, grab a pair, turn on Great Teacher Onizuka, and eat the culinary masterpiece you just made.

Directions:

  1. Fry spam in a pan until crip but not burned.
  2. Cut spam into small cubes and set aside.
  3. Put teaspoon of butter in pan and set to medium heat. Scramble egg and add black pepper, salt, red pepper, and parsley. Add to bowl with spam and cover with a paper towel.
  4. Add 3 tablespoons of rice grain oil to pan with minced garlic, salt, black pepper, parsley, and red pepper. Swirl in pan and cook garlic.
  5. Once garlic is golden brown, add tablespoon of shoyu, stir, and add rice.
  6. Cook rice until golden while stirring, then add spam and egg and continue to stir.

  8. Working with one piece at a time, add about a tablespoon of filling to the middle of the dough and then fold the ends up and over the filling. Twist the top of the dough so it sticks together.
  9. Once you have 12 dumplings done, let them rest for 20-30 minutes before steaming them.
  10. Add the dumplings to a bamboo steamer, leaving some space between each dumpling to prevent them from sticking together, and steam them over a pot or wok until they are cooked through, about 18 minutes. To make sure the dumplings don't stick to the steamer, lightly oil the steamer or lay down some lettuce leaves in the bottom of the steaming racks.
  11. Let the dumplings cool briefly when they come out of the steamer and then serve them immediately with the sauce.
  12. Tip: As an optional filling, try diced ham and cheddar cheese. Serve with mustard.

COMMENT Queso

:PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: queso :END: source: https://cookieandkate.com/best-queso-recipe/

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium jalapeño
  • 1 medium red onion, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 8 oz cream cheese, cubed
  • 8 oz shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 oz / 2 cups shredded Monterey/Pepper jack cheese
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • Hot sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

COMMENT Directions

  1. Before you get started, be sure that all of your ingredients are prepared and ready to go near the stove. The optional jalapeño adds some flavor and some heat. If using a fresh pepper, remove the seeds and ribs, then finely chop. For jarred jalapeños, just finely chop them.
  2. Melt the butter in a small-to-medium Dutch oven or large, deep skillet. Add the onion, jalapeño (if using), and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, while stirring often, until the onions are tender and translucent, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant while stirring, about 30 seconds.
  3. Add the milk and cream cheese to the pot. Stir until the cream cheese has melted into the mixture (it should be mostly smooth), about 5 minutes.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and start adding the cheese in medium handfuls, stirring after each one. Once the cheese has melted completely into the mixture, add the next handful, and so on until you have added all of the cheese.
  5. Stir in the tomatoes, hot sauce, cilantro, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Gently stir until the mixture is combined and the dip is smooth and creamy (if the mixture seems gloppy at all, you may actually need to increase the heat a bit here). If desired, thin the queso with up to 1/2 cup additional milk in 1/4-cup increments, stirring after each until it is fully incorporated. 
  6. Promptly remove the mixture from the heat (don't leave the queso on the stove, or it may overcook). Serve while hot. Garnishes are optional, but I like to add some additional cilantro leaves and a scattering of additional tomatoes.

Directions

  1. Chop tomatoes, onion, and peppers.
  2. Melt butter, add onion, jalapeno, and salt. Cook for around 5 minutes and add garlic.
  3. Add milk and cream cheese, stir until melted.
  4. Reduce heat and add shredded cheese slowly.
  5. Stir in tomatoes, hot sauce, and cilantro. Add milk if needed for texture.

COMMENT "ORIGINAL" RECIPE (From The Cook and Housewife’s Manual by Margaret Dods; 1826): Make them as French bread, but dissolve some sugar in the hot milk. Mould into the form of cakes. A little saffron boiled in the milk enriches the colour of these or any other

cakes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4cup (280ml) whole milk
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) of butter at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (50g) sugar
  • 3 3/4 cup (450g) of bread flour (or all purpose)
  • 7g instant yeast or active dry yeast.
  • 2 eggs (Plus an extra egg for the egg wash)
  • The zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
  • 2-3 saffron threads (optional; for color only)

COMMENT Directions

  1. Warm the milk over low heat.* Add the sugar and dissolve. Once warm, add the butter and melt in. If you are using saffron for color, add the threads to the milk and set mixture aside to cool to 110° or cooler before adding it to the other ingredients. If you are using instant yeast, heat the full amount of milk. If you are using active dry yeast, warm only 1 cup on the stove. Take the other 1/4 cup and mix with the yeast and a sprinkle of sugar to activate the yeast.
  2. Sift flour into a large bowl or a stand mixer. If using instant yeast, whisk in to flour. Once milk mixture is cooled to 110° add to flour and mix (remove saffron threads with a strainer). Add lemon zest, eggs and salt and mix. If you are using active dry yeast, add that last. Work dough until it comes together and forms a smooth sticky dough. (About 8 minutes on medium speed) It will not form into a ball.
  3. Cover and let rise for 60 - 90 minutes or until doubled in size.
  4. Once doubled, punch down dough and put out onto a lightly floured surface and separate into 3 or 6 pieces, depending on the size bun you would like. Form dough into balls and place on lined baking sheet, slightly flattening into a cake. Cover and let rise for another 45 - 60 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 400°F / 200°C and make an egg wash with either a whole egg or egg white (if you used the saffron for color).
  6. Bake buns for 15 minutes, tenting them if they begin to brown too much. An instant read thermometer should read 190°F-200°F (approx.90°C). Cool on a wire rack and serve warm with butter, jam or clotted cream.

Directions

  1. Warm milk to 90-110F, add yeast. Mix in sugar and butter.
  2. Sift flour into mixer. Add starter, lemon zest, eggs, and salt. Work dough until sticky, around 8 minutes in a mixer.
  3. Cover and rise 60-90 minutes or until doubled.
  4. Punch down on a lightly floured surface, split into 3 or 6 pieces. Shape into balls and place on a baking sheet. Cover and rise for 45-60 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 400F, make egg wash with an egg and a tablespoon of water. Brush onto buns.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 190-200F.
