Meanwhile, me in the kitchen burning toast

It's really your fault for attempting something so complicated

[-] Dettweiler42@lemmyonline.com 35 points 7 months ago

If you want to kick it up another notch, add a few drops of sesame oil to it, too.

[-] Alteon@lemmy.world 19 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

To one up this one-up, use chili oil instead.

You can also add chili flakes, green onions, and thinly sliced meats such as bacon, spam, or chicken. You can also cheaply garnish with nori and sesame seeds. Or just top that shit with a slice of American Cheese. That's fine too.

You have strayed from God's light.

Peanut butter is going too far but american fucking cheese is fine? I don't even wanna know what they put in that shit to make you call want to eat it so much.

Peanut butter is used in noodles and asian cooking plenty and it's great.

OG version of this meme

[-] Krukenberg@feddit.ch 14 points 7 months ago

And here my first thought was 'I recognise that cute face'...

[-] FrostKing@lemmy.world 25 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Seriously though, people way over gate-keep cooking. It's not hard to get into, at all. Just practice, and don't feel bad about following recipes to a tee. Even once you get better, there's nothing saying you have to create your own recipes. If you enjoy the process of cooking but not the rest, fuck putting limitations on something as simple as making food and do your own thing

An excuse to add: The Bear Season 2 was one of my favorite seasons of television EVER. If it tickles your fancy even a little, do yourself a favor and watch it.

Fork is probably one of the best episodes of television ever made.

[-] Godric@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

I really liked 3 Fishes, but Forks was just fucking phenomenal

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 3 points 7 months ago

They're a perfect 1-2 punch. One just breaks you down (I did NOT expect that--longest-feeling hour of television I can recall). Followed by the balm of Forks, which you've fucking earned.

[-] themusicman@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

I really enjoyed S1 and was worried S2 would get stale. Holy shit was I wrong

Cool. I was kind of stuck in the beginning of season 2 but I'll see it through now.

Want to make your ramen slap?

Add a bit of slivered onion and green onion, some enoki or seafood mushrooms, and two or three frozen dumplings.

Never disappoints.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 28 points 7 months ago

I prefer cooked dumplings, the frozen ones hurt my teeth.

[-] Maven@lemmy.world 18 points 7 months ago

This is exactly the type of comment I'd expect from SatansMaggotyCumFart

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago

That's so Maven!

[-] Copythis@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

This is what I'm here for. Please tell me more

[-] tastysnacks@programming.dev 4 points 7 months ago

Get refrigerated/frozen ramen instead of freeze dried. Sun Noodle.

Toss some cheap canned mushrooms in there. Top Chef!

[-] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 7 months ago

I find dried mushrooms are tastier and they add umami to the broth, but it adds cooking time, so it's really a matter of preference.

On brand, most chefs I know don’t eat like they cook.

[-] GobiasIndustries@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Can confirm. Not only could I not afford to eat the style of food I cooked at work, the last thing that I wanted to do when I got home was put effort into my own food.

If I was eating at work, I'd cobble together some kind of salad out of whatever scraps and nearly expired food I could shove into my face in under 3 minutes. If I was "cooking" for myself at home, about the most complicated thing that I'd make for myself was cereal.

[-] jopepa@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

The 6th mother sauce, sugary milk

[-] Patches@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Can confirm. Most chefs I know mostly eat alcohol after their shift is over. None of them are bartenders

[-] jopepa@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Most people just refuse to bring their work home. Every bartender I know prefers rubbing alcohol over the fancy stuff.

[-] cheesymoonshadow@lemmings.world 2 points 7 months ago

We used to go regularly to this sushi place and had gotten to know the chef pretty well. It was a semi-fancy place with a sushi bar and hibachi section. Really good cuts of sashimi. He said his favorite thing to eat is McDonald's.

[-] DarkGamer@kbin.social 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Add a handful of frozen stir fry veggies and some slices of Chinese sausage too, then pretend like you have a lazy stoner Michelin star.

[-] FeelThePower@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 7 months ago

I did this one time just to try cooking the hardboiled egg on my own and it wound up opening my interests to cooking and recipes. Since then I regularly cook and do meal preps / bento boxes :')

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 7 months ago

Dude looks like the dollar store version of James McAvoy.

[-] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 7 months ago

Buy blocks of hot pot seasoning to keep in the freezer and cut off a small portion to taste to throw in there for a major flavor upgrade.

Asian brand ramen with 3 spice/oil packets are a base for a fabulous meal. Mei Mei is my favorite brand. At least so far.

[-] H_Interlinked@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

I've seen this around, but haven't tried it yet. I'll give it a shot. A few of my current recommendations are Samyang Buldak Hot Chicken Carbonara (the pink packs), and for a much more dry stir-fry style noodle I LOVE Indomie Mi Goreng noodles. Comes with 5 fucking packets so that aspect is a pain, but it's well worth it.

[-] n0m4n@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I'll be buying Samyang Buldak Hot Chicken Carbonara and Indomie Mi Goreng noodles, too. MeiMei noodles are more toasted than most noodles. I eat the noodles plain and dry as hiking fare. The noodles themselves are that good. They taste somewhat like potato chips. The leftover spice packets go into Thai dishes,

To others who are reading, I was spoiled after trying the good stuff. I quit buying plain Ramen noodles, since.

Many thanks.
