Think you can do it, /a/?
>>133380557
I could do it with my eyes closed, though I've no idea what sort of marinade she used.
I love Yuno!
>>133380634
3 tablespoons of sake
3 tablespoons of soy sauce
Diced onion
Ginger to taste
It says it right there in the webm anon
maybe
>>133381625
>>133380634
I'm not 100% convinced "sake" is a
good translation, but I'm too lazy to find and watch the raw.
>>133381699
Maybe it's mirin?
Has anyone tried this?
>>133381625
Yeah, there's zero problem then, though that's less of a marinade and more of a batter.
potato starch isn't a common ingredient here, but I wouldn't have trouble getting it.
Cake flour is not a problem; I order cake flour online whenever I want to make homemade udon noodles. (closest approximation to udon noodle flour)
>>133381699
>>133381725
It's probably mirin.
>>133381725
Equal parts soy sauce, mirin, sake, are in every japanese recipe.
Karaage is easy shit, but that does not look like chicken what the fuck
>>133380557
Wait, so I'm supposed to take bone-in thighs and cut them into bit sized pieces? You want me to easily chop chicken bone and serve you bite sized bone bites? gtfo
Is she taunting me?
>>133381887
You can sub instant mash; it's essentially the same thing.
>>133382055
Nevermind, boned, I can't read.
>>133382055
I realise the word "fillet" might be beyond your reading-level, anon, but thighs are tastier.
If you're over 18 and can't do a karaage yourself you should probably rethink the way you live.

How is cleaning up oil messy? You just take a sponge, add soap and scrup the whole pan once or twice.
>take chicken bites out of freezer

>>133382128
Karaage,tonkatsu, fried chicken it's all the same shit. If you can make one of them you can make the others.
>>133382279
Great, now I have to throw out a sponge and oily water. How much oil did I just waste to cook this dish that now has to be thrown out since it will go rancid?
>>133382319
>microwave
I get lazy too but I at least have the decency to put them in the oven.
>>133382438
>waiting for the oven to preheat
How about nah, I bet you cook ramen on the stove top as well, faggot.
>>133382401
>I have to throw out a sponge
What, get better sponges.
>and oily water
No shit, what else do you plan to do with oily water?
And why would your dish go rancid? Do you age your food before eating it?
>>133382401
Just cycle it in to your normal cooking.
This works especially well with Indian cuisine: use the oil you skimmed off your last curry to start your next one, and it'll bring with it a load of complex flavour.
If you're worried about it going off, stick it in the damn fridge.
>>133382470
It takes less than 10 minutes with my oven, is procrastinating at your computer really so important that you can't spare 10 minutes to be a decent human being?
>>133382477
I have good sponges, the question is why would I want to make my sponges oily? The five gallons of oil I just wasted is going to go rancid, not the dish.
>>133382527
I have anime to watch, I have eroge to play, I have manga to read.
There is no time to wait for bullshit when I can just microwave it.

>>133382233
Nope.
Fortunately, there's a bunch of stuff you can do with carrots that's along the same lines: obviously there's coleslaw, but you can also toss them in a vinaigrette, let them soften for an hour or so, and add raisins, pine nuts, etc.
>>133382619
They're probably precooked breaded chicken things.
>>133382619
Cooked is cooked, dumbass.
The bacteria don't care where the heat that's deforming their proteins, boiling their cell membranes, and shredding their DNA originated from.
Alls they care about is that they're deader than a doornail, and easily digestible.
>>133382547
I use subpar sponges and they never get oily, you just have to use the goddamn soap. I don't know what kind of retarded sponges you use in the US but I've never had to deal with oily sponges. And frying oil is cheap, I'm sure you can spare half a bottle to cook some karaage.
>>133382547
>five gallons of oil
That's one of these.
If your fryer takes one of these, you should probably be getting more than one dish per load out of it.
>>133380557
By hiro u mean moot2?
Would that marinade be good for Asian hot wings?
>>133382644
I love chicken wyngs :^)
>>133382547
You can keep frying oil for a good length of time and reuse it several times
You mook
>>133382685
I can smell the oil on the sponge. Soap doesn't get rid of all of it. It's even more disgusting than those smelly ceramic dishes. Just because I can afford to flush money down the toilet all day long doesn't mean that I do so.
>>133382812
Again, I don't know what you're talking about, I clean oily pans with my sponge all day and I've never had to deal with oily sponges.
>>133382761
>trans fat

>>133382761

>>133382849
A drop of oil will make any sponge smell awful. Then again, no one else seems to be able to smell it but it really does smell disgusting.
>>133382753
Take out the starch. It's going to want to form a crust, like a chicken nugget.
But the best way to do wings, bar none, is using a steamer and an oven, as popularised by Alton Brown.
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/buffalo-wings-recipe.html
The wings go through the entire process without any kind of seasoning: you do that just as they come out before they're rested; this allows the flavours to penetrate.
Traditional American wings: melt unsalted butter, add a bottle of Frank's and a clove or two of crushed garlic.
Asian wings, you're on your own. I've never had them, but I'd guess some hoi-sin, some fivespice, some soy and some garlic would be nice.
>>133382853
Turns out transfat actually is really bad for you.
S'kinda like thalidomide.
>>133382796

>microwaving chicken

>he doesn't eat chickyn wyngs
>>133383205
You can find plenty of scientific papers demonstrating reuse of cooking oils increases the level of carcinogens in it and can be damaging to internal organs due to increased levels of toxins. Try actually researching things rather than being a contrarian because "hurr durr daily mail reported it daily mail stupid hurr". Fucking moron.
>>133380557
I could but I am too lazy to clean up the kitchen afterwards
>>133380557
if I had specific oil temperatures. Frying surprisingly difficult, probably the hardest cooking method desu
I'd wear gloves before handling all that chicken, though. But maybe Hiro is salmonella-resistant thanks to her hair?
>>133383773
She also rinses her chicken which is a great way of spreading salmonella.
>>133383827
Yeah, I rinse too but then I spray my sink down with bleach after. They dip the chicken in a chlorine solution before packing and I prefer to wash it off.
Salmonella is only a problem for third world dirty shitskin countries. I bet you don't even eat raw eggs because you're afraid of it.
Stop talking about it.
>>133383878
lol no. Eggs are OK because they wash them before packing. Salmonella is like e. coli, it's a natural gut bacteria and if they cut the intestines while cleaning the chickenwhich happens all the timethen the chicken will have salmonella on it. It's very common.
>>133383947
>It's very common
In dirty shitskin countries.
>>133383773
>>133383827
You niggas are aware that salmonella are killed off when cooked properly. Stop eating raw meat, you shmocks.

>I don't agree with what you're saying, so you're an le ebin troll xD
Sure thing, Raj.
>>133383773
>Frying surprisingly difficult
no it's not. pick your favourite oil, heat it until a piece of wood (chopstick) causes bubbles when you dip it in, throw in your goods and lower the heat after 5 minutes, reheat the oil before you throw new stuff in. check with the chopstick. simple as that
Way too much effort.
>>133384081
>eat
What are you doing? You'll never grow up to be a big strong little girl like Biki if you don't drink your raw eggs.
>>133384151
For a moment I imagined somebody dipping a branch into the frying pan to check if the oil is hot enough and I was confused.
I will never get people who spend hours on a single meal. Food is just to stop making me hungry.
>>133383274

I could point out that "cancer" isn't one easy-to-identify thing, that most people don't get cancer /ever/, that to calculate an increase in risk from something that's not an intervention you need to work out what the risk would-have-been had the non-intervention not occurred, that when you increase a very-small risk by a very-small amount, the "increase in risk" sound big and scary when it isn't, etc. etc. etc.

It's also necessary for the recipe.
Stop being a wuss, wash your hands and clean your surfaces.
God, to listen to you, you'd think the demon SALMONELLA was killing millions in the streets. You'd not be able to run a kitchen, because SALMONELLAS would leap from the chickens, straight down your customers' throats, turning their insides into a SALMONELLIFEROUS SLURRY, until they explode, spraying SALMONELLA all over everyone and everything.
>>133381625

>>133381625
Probably equal parts sake, soy sauce and mirin. Even without the ginger and stuff it's nice and goes with a lot of things.

What's the recommended oil to fry for kaarage anyways? Peanut, Vegetable, or Sunflower?
>>133381025
>>133386639
The answer to all oil questions is always Olive.
>>133386788
Really? I find the taste of olive oil can overwhelm whatever I'm frying. Not to mention it can get fucking expensive.
>>133386639
>>133386842
Peanut is traditional in asian cuisine for deep or high-temperature frying.
If your olive oil makes stuff taste of olives, chances are you're using "extra virgin" when you should be "light".
>>133386842
I just love olive oil.
Use canola if you want something flavor neutral. Don't use vegetable or sunflower at all, not safe to fry with them.
>>133385508
I use irradiated meat. I'm told that it's difficult to get in burgerland as radiation is spooky.

>>133387689
Where would one even begin to start cooking though?
>>133387209
You should try lentils, I made them a few days ago and they're great and last quite a bit.
First, heat some water and make lots of broth. Keep it boiling.
Then slice in tiny pieces some carrots, leek and onion and whatever looks good enough to put in there, cook them for a bit with some oil and then put the dry lentils, and water them with some broth.
Cook them for about 40 minutes, keep watering them with the boiling broth and turn them every once in a while.
They will last you a few days and still taste good, just heat them for a few minutes. Oh, and they're great with parsley.
>>133387718
Anywhere is fine! Buy a recipe book or just look something up online, and plan what you want to try cooking before going shopping.
>>133387718
start w/ something fairly simple and work your way up to more complex things. Once you have a fair grasp of just what the hell it is you're doing, you can start experimenting to create something new.
At least thats how I figure going about it. I dont exactly have the money to get into it myself.
Do keep in mind that cooking as a hobby can get expensive, mainly in getting decent equipment and to a lesser extent the ingredients.
Also, do what >>133387877 said. Get a cookbook or look up something online that looks tasty, get the ingredients, and give it a shot.
>>133387718
pasta is a good start, it's super easy to cook and you can make it a ton of different ways
>>133387718
Cookbooks. Find something that looks easy and make that kind of stuff till you're more used to it, then start branching out.

http://www.amazon.com/Cook-Everything-Completely-Revised-Anniversary/dp/0764578650/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
I recommend this book. The recipes are basic and it teaches you everything from the ground up; it also has suggestions for spicing up the simpler recipes right next to them, and charts that take a recipe's basic ingredients and switches them with others while retaining the steps, teaching you how flexible cooking can be.

Ideally, have someone teach you. There's a load of stuff that's way easier to show than to describe.
Failing that, any TV show where you see the whole process. Martin Yan, Keith Floyd, Jamie Oliver, Gok Wan, Cooking with Dog, Saint Delia, Alton Brown.
Cookbooks are good, but (aside from a few exceptions like How to Cook) they assume a level of knowledge that you don't have yet, and they'll gloss over the very things you need to be learning. If you're starting out, I'd say don't worry about how complex the end-product is, worry about how complex the actual directions are. If you're seeing stuff like "fold the dry ingredients into stiff peaks", you need to look for something written more with the beginner in mind.
If you can't get someone to show you, watch a load of anything where you actually see the whole thing from start to finish in real-time. This will let you see what everthing's supposed to look like, and how to do everything. You don't actually have to start with simple things; if you've got good directions and you follow them, you can make anything. You only need experience when stuff goes wrong, or when you're doing your own thing.

Even just some fresh vegetables cooked and added to a shop bought curry sauce or something with some rice is so much nicer than a ready meal and it takes next to no effort to make.
>>133390997
Lately I've taken to making stews and pastas
Last a long time and are easy to make. Focus more on quantity anon, don't try to make a one time exquisite masterpiece. Make a big ass tub of soup or something that will last.
Also if you're really that lazy you could always NEET it up with ramen and rice. My favorite combination for when I'm too poor to afford anything.
>>133390811
Depends where you live.
Lots of places it absolutely is cost-effective, whether you measure per-serving or per-calorie.
For example, in the UK you absolutely can't make a tomato sauce for less than a jar of pasta sauce will cost you. The tomatoes alone will push you over, let alone basil (hah!), wine (double hah!), or the gas/electricity you'd use to cook it.
>>133390953
Don't laugh, but Gok Wan.
His father is a restauranteur, and his recipes are practical and authentic. He's writing for an audience that's familiar with Chinese cuisine, but hasn't necessarily cooked it before, and hasn't necessarily got to experience the kind of food you'd see in the Chinese community.
There's a great section on equipment, asian grocers, and how to assemble a Chinese storecupboard.
He's really good at cooking. I wish he'd do more.

Good thing there's a TV series too, then.
Anyway, no it's not. There's loads of Chinese dishes that are just "fry aromatics, dump in vegetables, wilt, sauce, toss, serve".
>>133393273
If you're not a sportsman, the exact makeup of your meat matters not one jot. Normal people don't need to worry about protein-vs-fat, because their diet is not calculated to within a hair of starvation.

I always wondered why vegans were all fat, greasy and unhealthy, when all they eat is plants.
Then I had it pointed out to me that chips and fries are a plant.

"Don't need" and "not ought to" are different, senpai (TL note: senpai means family). Doesn't change the fact that pork is lowtier regardless.
Granted, I lift recreationally and I do watch what I cook more carefully than others, but this doesn't mean "normal" people don't ought to know which foods are healthier.
>>133393886
Ranch, mayonnaise, fries, etc. are all vegan. Eating only plants doesn't mean you eat less calories/fat.

Sure, and there are loads that don't.
You think the entire fucking continent is just jam-packed with Escoffiers? Everyone in China is just wondering about with a turning knife and a hairdryer?
Some Chinese food is palace food. Sone Chinese food is peasant food. It's ridiculous to say that the latter isn't "real" Chinese food, when real Chinese people cook and eat it.

Because:
1. you forget those that gets buried under and they rot extremely quickly when you thaw them,
2. you don't know what to do with the things you bought, or that they don't make any desirable combinations,
3. they're most likely already nearly rotten,
4. you'll probably eat the same things over and over.
You don't need to buy things that are on sale in order to eat cheap.

Fish is seriously god-tier. You can have a tiny ass piece of fish that has like 25g of protons. Not to mention them omega-3s.
Don't really like pork except for bacon. I eat it maybe once a few months. Maybe it's just because I live in America but pork has this sort of foul smell to it.

My nigga.

Good points. Thanks for the advice
Chicken meat is a whiter/lighter color than that.
>>133382547
You should only need about two cups of canola oil, which is cheap and can be reused once if used lightly.
Peanut oil and corn oil work too, but cost more (here).
Never use olive oil, it burns at a fairly low temperature, costs too much, and is very flavorful. It's best used for light frying, sauces, and dressing.
>>133382903
What oil are you using?
>>133384790
I'm technically upper-class and I cook all my own food. I see no reason to waste time and money on something that's both likely a lower quality and not done to my preferences.
>>133396877
>Never use olive oil, it burns at a fairly low temperature
That's only extra virgin. Light olive oil has one of the highest smoke point of any oil (465°F/240°C).
>>133396783
No problem anon.
>>133397089
Yes but that's not the traditional cooking olive oil.
I can't find any where I live, for example, but there are shelves dedicated to canola oil because it is produced and grown locally. What little I have seen has cost more than better oils for high-temperatures, but tastes awful.

This is what labelling is for. God, you're talking like it's rocket surgery or something.
When it goes in: write on in when it went in, and when it can be stored until
When you want to eat an X: take out the shortest-dated X
When you can be fucked: take everything out, bin everything that slipped the net somehow, turn the thing off so's the antarctic plateau melts, then put everything back in.
All this revolutionary system requires: one (1) sharpie, and one (1) cooler/blanket/bubble-wrap.
>2. you don't know what to do with the things you bought, or that they don't make any desirable combinations,
So don't buy dumb shit then. If you wouldn't eat it right now, don't buy it and put it in your freezer.
Anything you can freeze in the reduced section will be either meat (which you cook into whatever you like), bread, or some kind of ready-meal which you just eat.
Again, you're blowing this up into a far bigger deal than it actually is. I think you want it to be hard or something, so you can jump through hoops and feel special.
>3. they're most likely already nearly rotten,
You won't believe what happens to them after they come out your arse. Shelf-life is utterly immaterial when in the space of hours the thing is getting defrosted, cooked, and eaten.
You're not going to take it out and defrost it to look at and admire it, you're going to cook it and eat it.
>4. you'll probably eat the same things over and over.
See 2. If you want variety, buy variety or cook the same ingredient in different ways.

I'm not sure you understand how a freezer works. Freezing damages food in three ways: Freezing, where ice crystals form inside the cells and damage the cell membranes; freezer burn, where water sublimes out of the food and dehydrates it, and defrosting, where the damaged cells leak fluid.
Freeze food as rapidly as you can: this makes the ice crystals smaller and limits the damage. The reason fish fingers cook up nice, yet when you freeze a white fish it turns into a sponge, is that the fish-finger plant freezes their fishes in less than a minute. Conversely, defrost as gently as you can. 24h in a fridge is better than 2h on a worktop is better than 2m in a microwave.
If a food is protected from freezer burn, it doesn't matter how long it's frozen for. So long as it's kept below -18 (zero for you damn yanks), all biological processes stop. There's been recorded instances of people eating mammoths (protected from freezer burn by being entirely encased in ice for 0.25 million years), and not falling ill.
Doesn't matter how long you leave something in your freezer: if it's properly wrapped, it's not going to "rot".
