/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I have a couple amazing sushi places near my place, and this is as great if not better than those.

Can't always find pickled plum and cucumber rolls. And the salmon row with quail egg is even better than the one I get back home. They even added shiso.

Some of the best pad thai I have tried. And one of the best scallop dishes I have had and I live in New England.

mango chicken was pretty fantastic too

for dessert they have Italian bombas for some reason. the cappuccino one was great.

Critiques:

- Cucumber roll is not rolled properly. The seaweed should never go inside of the rice.

- Wasabi should always be at the bottom right corner, for easier access.

- Tamagoyaki does not belong on that platter.

- The sushi should be arranged from bottom right to top left, so it's easier to take with chopsticks.

- Daikon is machine sliced. Tsuma should always be hand cut for better texture and appearance (pic related)


I'm just pointing this out because OP claims that this sushi place is "amazing."

Also a visual representation of how sushi should be arranged, on the right

America should have finished the job in WW2, or let the Soviet Union continue to crush you.

tfw left handed

>>5597685
Left-handers aren't people.

>>5597683

I made legitimate critiques.

Are you on vacation in Alabama?

>>5597694

Still looks really delicious.

>>5597699

Okay

This thread became autistic

>>5597637
Because eating small pieces of rice and fish is so diffucult, it needs to be carfully planned out. okay buddy...

Parents celebrating 30 years of pain together... Huge bbq outside. Already had grilled chicken thighs, sausages, blood pudding, souvlaki, 3 kinds of salads, some dumplings with bacon and onions, and some baked potatoes.

I still have to go downstairs in 30 minutes to eat a cake someone baked. Man, I'm going to have to hit the gym soon.

my chirashi don set last night. Also it was about 22 dollars for the set.

>>5597773

It doesn't take more work to arrange it in the way I suggested. These are very basic rules of moritsuke (arrangement of the dish).

>>5597885
Dude you really think that shit was done by a legit jap?

>>5597810
also this was done by a real jap. The guy knows I'm right handed and I eat like a Jap. Miso on the left hand side Chirashi on the right. Dipping plate is mid. also dude knows I eat like a jap hence no spoon for the miso or the Agedashi Tofu.

>>5597890

You don't need to be Japanese to cook properly.

Spaghetti should always be al dente, regardless of the nationality of the person making it.

>>5597896

I have no reason to doubt that the person who made this is Japanese, but if he is an actual 板前 with proper training, the donburi would have been in the middle, the dipping sauce on the front right, and the tsukemono and aemono in the back.

Of course there's no hard fast rule for teishoku, but that's just how it's arranged most of the time.

Also, misoshiru doesn't have to be on the left. In fact, it's usually on the right hand side. Like I mentioned earlier, there's no hard fast rule.

Trick, this picture is taken from the other side of the table!

>>5597637
Bazinga.

To be fair, that was all ala carte and I wanted my family to try the egg cake.

Also.. fuck your nitpicky honrabble place setting. The sushi tasted amazing. And.. yeah.. even I have hand rolled maki better.. but.. fuck it.. I can't always find pickled plum.

I have seen Italian chefs who make fresh pasta in their restaurants who hate people who say aldente is the way pasta should be. Then again, I like it aldente. Then again, I would sometimes eat raw pasta as a kid.

>>5597698
nope. Ye Olde Cape Codde.

>>5597940
I would love to see you try to get Al dente with fresh pasta.

Nonna came from Bologna
"Al dente" was always referred to as "raw" in our house.

Aha

and Irish pub food tonight..

>>5598924
Funny. That means grannie in Italian, but in greek it is

Irish whiskey steak tips.

And the owner is up on a stage playing Irish folk songs.

..with iced coffee... with Bailey's and Powers Whiskey.

Think I am gonna have a half Guinness half house brewed ale pint with the Guinness chocolate pudding for dessert.

A spam, cheese and tomato sandwich. sliced cucumber in vinegar. ( my ac is busted and its too hot to cook.) For dessert - a small chilled can of mandarin oranges and the last cheap chocolate chip cookie. Lot's of unsweet iced tea. Yeah, I know, I'm going grocery shopping tomorrow. Getting gin, vodka, beer, watermelon, cherries, plums, steaks, ginger ale, shrimp, thick cut bacon, butter milk, etc..

..aaaaaand it's gone.

"The taste.. of love is sweet," the owner just happened to sing just after I finished it.

Usually use tonys but went to aldi's instead of walmart this week. So Momma Cozzi's will have to do!

>>5601710
Was already 4-meat, but doctored it up with some green giant jarred mushrooms and oscer mayer bacon bits. Topped it off with some great farms or some such mozzarella shredded cheese.

bah blurry as fuck, didn't pre-check the photos

>>5601712
>>5601710

But decided I wanted to make it extra cheese. So I then topped it off with 2 slices of Kraft american cheese and 2 slices of kraft cheddar swiss cheese.

about 6 minutes left to cook!

>>5601710

glorious!

>>5601719
im both hungry and disgusted

Steamed fish is the best thing ever.

>>5597685
Turn the plate the other way

a glorious bowl of Chow Fàn from the shack down the street.

>>5597810

22$ over in my area can get you all you can eat sushi and a miso soup comes out for free usually. Don't understand why you spent all that money on mediocre shit like that anyways

>>5597677
why so you honestly care this much?

>>5597529
You should try roasted pecking duck and suckling roast pig

>>5603624
He already answered that. Looks mediocre but he proclaim the sushi to be amazing.

>>5601741
That looks like a great spread! What does steaming do for the fish? Can you do it with a vegetable steamer?

I'm at work tonight. Here's what I managed to come up with. Simple kale/spinach salad with beans and some store-bought dressing; a yam diced up and sauteed with garlic chunks, paprika and salt; and a venison steak that I marinated a little bit in some terriyaki.

It was damn delicious. The salad went down quick and wasn't noteworthy. The venison was delicious and had pretty admirable grill marks to boot, though my phone doesn't do it justice. What I was really impressed with was that yam. I sauteed with safflower oil and butter, and threw the garlic chunks in toward the end. The flavors fit together like a puzzle. Sweet yam, a little salt, and then a bit of that roasted garlic flavor. Some of the yam caramelized also. I'm giving it another round tomorrow, exact same plan.

Because the rice and fish at the 22 dollar AYCE is shit quality and made by second tier asians and mexicans. You just can't tell that the AYCE place is shit and you think all rice and fish are equal.

>>5603675
In my experience, it makes for a much more flavourful fish but also a lighter taste. I think white fish benefit from it the most. A vegetable steamer would certainly work. I would personally put it in a plate or shallow bowl first and not straight in the steamer, which will also give you a little fish broth.

Italian today
I love me wide noodles
