Every now and then I feel like fermenting something. What have you fermented recently? Pickling is fine too although not as cool. Brewers and winemakers feel free to share your experience.

I just started a new batch of kimchi with chinese cabbage, carrots and the usual onion, garlic, chili mix, as well as fish sauce. I found out, that the fish sauce is a huge turn off for western people, so if you want to share it with family and neighbors, better skip it.

Weck is a well known brand for jars around here. They are made of heat resistant glass with glass lids and there are rubber rings and clamps to seal them.

For my fermentation projects I usually just use a commercial, cleaned pickle jar. They are basically free and can safely be used at least once for your own stuff. By the time I make a new batch, I have another empty pickle jaw, because pickled cucumbers are delicious and not too expensive to buy from the store. There is also no concern about microbe cultures with them, so I only pickle stuff, I can't get from the store right away, like eggs or cabbage.

For my first kimchi I used this recipe, however the amount of garlic, onion and chili should be kept within reason.

Pickling is so easy, I didn't even look up anything and just went with what the industry does: Liquid should be sweet, sour and salty to equal amounts. Spices are up to taste. I usually use mustard seeds, onion, garlic and peppercorns.

I've been using that kimchi recipe for a year now and it hasn't steered me wrong. My two biggest notes would be that you really should use those tiny salted shrimp she uses in the video, they impart a nice subtle fishy flavor (that I like even though I don't really care for fishy stuff), and that you should go out of your way to NOT buy cheap fish sauce. My most recent batch used some cheaper stuff and that shit still smells rank after weeks of fermenting. I'm honestly a little nervous to eat it, it doesn't smell rotten but just gross.

Pic rel, it's some delicious kimchi I made about a year ago.

Can we talk about dishes that don't require a lot of effort to cook?
Do you have some tips to make a relatively simple dish taste great, or maybe enhance something that doesn't even need to cooked?
For example, for the most delicious cheese toast ever, try to spread a layer thin or thick, don't be afraid to experiment!
of mayo on a slice of bread should be a really soft type of bread, white farmhouse is perfect. Avoid thin slices then cook on a frying pan with the mayo facing down. While the breads cooks, put the cheese on it so it can melt. Fry until the mayo side is of a golden color. Do the same for the other slice of bread.

I dunno if anyone else knew about this, most people just build the sandwich and pop it in the oven.

One really easy dish to make are peanut sauce noodles. Boil the noodles in a pot of water, and mix up peanut butter, soy sauce, a bit of vinegar, and chili flakes in a bowl. You can also add cut up green onions if you feel like it, it's not too hard and it adds great textural contrast. Then, just drain the noodles (keep a bit of the water in the pot though), and add it to sauce. Mix it up and enjoy!

it's hard for me to remember to eat or put much effort into cooking, so i usually stick by the combination of carb + protein + veggie
carb: tortillas, sandwich bread, pasta, rice
protein: ground beef, chicken, tinned fish, veggie burgers, sausage
veggie: spinach is a favorite of mine and what i primarily use but i also like broccoli, aromatic veggies of course like garlic and onion

i'll cook ground beef (or heat up black bean burgers, i like the brand morning star) with aromatics and herbs and wrap into a burrito with cheese, and pan fry it.
i'll also have bacon fried rice with a standard vegetable mix of peas, carrots, etc. tinned salmon/tuna for pasta dishes, i don't like my pasta dishes heavy with sauce so i just use butter and olive oil, herbs, and mix it all together with pasta water. reduce the sauce and it'll be all nice and combined…

Lately my drunk snack of choice has been a hoagie bun, which I slice in half and add a thin layer of Vegemite in-between the slices. It's like an impromptu uncooked Vegemite sandwich, and it does the trick real nice. It's filling and super salty.

> difficulty
easy, 30 minutes of work, about 2 hours until done

> ingredients
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1 pack dry baking yeast
2 cups flour (wheat)
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
1-3 tablespoons hot chili flakes
salt and cumin to taste

> preparation
Combine milk, water, oil and yeast in a bowl. Mix in the flour until you get a very sticky dough. Cover in a bowl and let it rise for at least an hour at room temperature. Add spices and mix again. Form balls or just scoop out chunks of dough and put them on baking paper. Let these rise again for a bit, then put them in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 20 minutes.

The cumin pairs really well with the taste of white bread and chili to create a extra savory version of a yeast bun. Great as a side for soups and meat.

easiest recipe I make all the time, rice cooker chicken:
along with rice in the rice cooker as you normally would cook it add
some frozen vegetables
1 or 2 skinless boneless chicken thighs
soy sauce
sake
pinch of sugar
MSG
that's it, just use the normal rice cooking setting. if you want, you can then pan fry the chicken afterwards on high heat just to get some browning on the outside. The chicken flavours the rest of the stuff while it steams, so the whole meal has a nice chicken-broth type taste.

Wanted to get vegetarian sushi at the outskirts but it was a bit late and they didn't want to prepare it. As a consolation prize I got a local variation on sweet and sour chicken. I like the sauce a lot, even if this iteration is rather unorthodox.

I thought it was only going to be lightly seaweed-esque in nature, maybe slightly salty with some flakes while smelling of the ocean on a potato snack. It's seaweed flavored potatoes, very bizarre experience for the tastebuds.
I bought two bags of them and I finished one and occasionally munch on the second one nowadays.

Also, I bought those sweetened sundried tomatoes. It reminds me of eating something… maybe hawthorne candies around lunar new year. I like them but I can imagine advertising tomatoes for snacking purposes isn't going to take off in America any time soon. I think the brand was called 太陽の恵み

Wanted to make a thread for PSAs and info nuggets about food toxicity & safety that should be common knowledge, for the general health of the poster population. Make sure to verify information on your own.

 No.1253

Rice
At least according to my countries food safety org, rice often have high levels of arsenic (brown rice is worse than white). They say it contains 10x the levels of arsenic compared to other grains, though they don't specify which kind of rice that is in comparison to, or if it's the average. It's recommended to not have it as your primary carb source. Boiling it like pasta (lots of water that you pour off rather than boiling dry) can reduce it quite a bit.

Cooked rice leftovers should be put in the fridge as soon as it has cooled enough, as the toxic stuff that can be created in it if left out is not destroyed by heating the leftovers later. Might not be very likely to occur, but it's still a gamble to disregard.

Champignon, button mushrooms, crimini, portabellos (they're all the same mushroom)
These should be eaten properly cooked. Contains a substance that's bad for you in the long run, which is partially destroyed when cooked.

 No.1254

File: 1755556596289.jpg (173.7 KB, 619x933, f4sg9fksjcuz.jpg)

>>1253
Arsenic content in rice depends on 2 factors:
1. Soil. Rice grown in soils with higher arsenic content accumulates more rice in the grains. Depending on your country, there may be maps available showing arsenic concentrations in soil.
2. Degree of processing. Arsenic is more concentrated in the bran (brown exterior layer) than the endosperm (white center). So white rice (which is really just brown rice with the bran removed) tends to be lower in arsenic. But white rice is also lower in vitamins for the same reason (vitamins are also more concentrated in the bran), so it's a tradeoff.

Sickness from reheated rice is usually from Bacillus sp. toxins. Bacillus sp. forms spores that are highly resistant to heat and may survive boiling/desiccation. Uncooked rice often has some inactive spores in it that get activated by the cooking. It's not usually a problem in freshly cooked rice or rice that is refrigerated soon after cooking, but if you leave cooked rice at lukewarm or room temperature for hours, the spores can grow into bacteria which then start multiplying on the cooked rice and produce toxins.

Simply killing mold is not enough to make moldy food safe. Freezing or cooking the mold will usually kill it, but it doesn't break down the mycotoxins produced by the mold's growth, which is what makes you sick. Some mycotoxins can even been boosted by high heat. You can cut the moldy section off of most hard foods, as long as you cut at least 2cm off from the nearest visible patch. However, soft foods like bread can spread mold very quickly in a way that is hard to see. So you should just throw the whole thing away.

NEVER cook beans in a slow cooker. They contain a toxic component called Phytohaemagglutinin, which gets destroyed by regular cooking methods, but not at the low temperatures of a slow cooker. Beans prepared this way can lead to serious food poisoning.

This is mostly a problem with kidney beans only right? The concentrations of the toxin are too low in other beans.

Restocked my tea stash, haven't had any puerh in years. This will last me quite a while. One cake each of sheng and shou, also one packet each of portion sized mini cakes, sheng (round in paper) and shou (squares) also. The sheng cake smells delightful. Only tried the shou portions yet and they're fine everyday tea, the leaf pieces are more like the small stuff you'd find in a teabag than the big pieces of a real cake. The sheng mini ones look like they're the regular leaf size though.

>>983
Know I'm way late in replying to this, but maybe somebody else browsing past will find the info helpful anyway.
Since you can brew the same leaves so many times over with most puerh it's good to have a very small teapot if you're only making for yourself. I don't even use a teapot myself, just a cup of roughly the same size as the cup I'll pour it over into through a sieve. Can use a small plate as a lid. For the money of a decent teapot I can get several small cakes of puerh instead.

Forgot to add, also picked up a extra large tea strainer at the same place. Always found it annoying that the regular sized ones get completely filled and clogged by the tea when it swells up so it doesn't allow any flow through at all. Which is why I never use them and instead use method described in post above.

Hoping this will fix the issue and let me have a bit simpler prep for loose leaf. There was even a size even larger but that won't even fit inside my regular cups.
