CLW Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Today was craving for some pancakes. Found out that I have no more flour at home (shame on me).But I found some instant polenta in the kitchen shelf. So I gave it a try with that.Outcome was some kind of pan-baked corn bread. Better than I expected. Beat two eggs with salt and sugar in a bowl until fluffy.Meanwhile boil some water and in a separate bowl mix it with 1 cup (from the rice cooker) instant polenta until it's soaked up all water. Mix together with the beaten egg and some milk and pinch of baking powder until it has a pancake batter consistence. Add flavourings such as vanilla, cinnamon or also savoury like curry powder. Heat a non-stick pan on medium heat with some oil or butter. Fry on low heat until it has become solid and flip it.Serve with fruits for example. Can't upload pictures at the moment. I'll try later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's their 250b Reuben and fries: The above photo was my Reuben eating there -- not an advertising promotion photo... Ordered my first Reuben in over six years on Sunday. It was excellent!! I usually like it dripping with Russian dressing but I understand most wouldn't. Next time I'll order some on the side. Thanks, TallGuyJohninBKK! This was my first experience in the Food Store. The variety of food offered was amazing. I could spend at least a few days there checking everything out. As of now I'm trying to talk the wife into moving there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added some more spices, fennel seed and star anise. https://omnivorescookbook.com/recipes/uyghur-style-noodles-with-lamb-sauce PS: Why I can't attach pictures anymore from within the tapatalk app? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutsiwarrior Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 for grated carrot salads, shredded daikon radish salads and sliced cucumber salads I've discovered a sugared rice vinegar dressing that's so much nicer than a vinaigrette with oil, mustard and etc...the heavy vinaigrette makes things soggy when the sugared vinegar makes it nice, crispy and delightful...looks like a staple in japanese cuisine... take yer vegetables and shred, chop or otherwise cut up and then eyeball the amount...then whisk together a 2:1 mixture of rice vinegar (makro) and sugar (adjust to taste ) and whisk until the sugar dissolves...pour over the veg, toss and refrigerate and bobs yer uncle...could maybe even use standard white vinegar as well... are you OK, Naam? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of probiotic effects from miso. Use hot water but not boiling. Boiling with kill the good bacteria. Also, some Japanese doctors claim they were spared radiation poisoning for the first two A-bombs because the iodine in miso blocked the radiation from reaching the liver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of table salt (sodium chloride) is bad for you. It's unnatural and has about 3% of additives (free-flowing agents, anti-caking agents etc). Real salt (sea or rock salt) is not bad for you, as it has a balance of other salts and trace minerals. It's actually very healthy and tastes much better. It has a slightly sweet flavour. If you throw out the iodized table salt, be sure to get enough iodine. Real salt doesn't have iodine. Edited July 21, 2018 by tropo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xylophone Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Lots of new age hoo-ha about salt, but a couple of reputable websites with no axe to grind say this...…… From the Mayo Clinic…………. Sea salt and table salt have the same basic nutritional value, despite the fact that sea salt is often promoted as being healthier. Sea salt and table salt contain comparable amounts of sodium by weight. Whichever type of salt you enjoy, do so in moderation. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting sodium to less than 2,300 milligrams a day. And from a TIME magazine article………… As for the edible salt, some argue that it tastes better than the regular white variety when used in cooking, and that may well be true for some people. “All salts vary somewhat with respect to trace mineral content and texture,” says Weil. Proponents claim that pink salt has more minerals than typical salt—but you aren’t likely to get any extra health perks from eating it, Weil says. Pink Himalayan salt is nutritionally very similar to regular salt. It’s just prettier and more expensive. The bottom line: If you want to add a pinch of pink salt to your food, go ahead, but you probably won’t reap any special health benefits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
