Hey, /ck/, I don't visit here often, but I want to learn how to make some fried rice. For starters, I'm completely inept at cooking, but it seems like an easy enough dish to get me started. Can you guys help me make a fried rice that isn't a mushy mess? And how much sesame oil should I use if at all, because the last time I tried to make it all I could taste was the sesame oil with the saltiness from the soy sauce and it was an ugly "soy sauce on white rice" brown, not that delicious golden fried rice brown, so I had to chuck it in the garbage disposal.

First off, use day old rice from the fridge, or it will be mushy. Make a stir fry sauce (something sweet, something spicy, something salty, aeromatics). Scramble some eggs. Cut up, season/marinade, and fry up the protein in the wok. Throw in the vegetables. Rice and stir fry sauce. Eggs.
It's all in the technique. I made some delicious ass shit out of spam and frozen mixed vegetables.
Fuck, I knew I was missing something in the OP. I meant to add that I don't have a wok and I don't think it'd work the same on my electric range. Would some overnight Jasmine rice be fine to use? And should I just google for a stir fry sauce or are there some common recipes?
I've been a vegetarian for a few years now, but I still have fried chicken dreams and shit like that about once a month.
Sometimes I come here just to look at pictures of cheeseburgers and shit.
I've lost control of my life.

So go have some fried chicken and be done with it.
You're not going to die if you eat a burger or some chicken, is your vegetarianism a choice? Because you sound like you're forcing it if you can't occasionllly eat whatever you want.

...and a cheeseburger.
Do you buy regular or natural peanut butter?
Natural in the sense that it only contains peanuts (and salt if I can't find it without it) but I don't bother with organic. I usually go with the store brand since it can be a dollar or more cheaper per jar and tastes just as good as the other brands.
I usually end up buying the smucker's "natural" peanut butter since it's often on sale and is the cheapest peanut butter with only peanuts and salt.
>>7380101
Natural.
I think I saw a while ago that Reese's makes a peanut butter and thinking about how salty and sugary a Reese's pb&j sandwich would be almost made me gag. Can't eat anything but that all natural shit now.
Is there anything that Guy Fieri doesn't have his own brand of

A diner, drive in, or dive.
>tfw no Guys Big Balls Flavortown condoms
>people don't put pickles on their pizza
this is what is wrong with society
I put them on my bacon cheeseburger pizza
I've always been curious as to how that would taste
I feel like I would really like it
i usually put pickled jalapenos
it's great
Why are san marzano tomatoes so flavorful? I've lived my life in ignorance, eating roma tomatoes which remind of mush fiber. My eyes were opened today when making my own tomato bisque and I used the recommended san marzano instead of dirt cheap varieties. I was just tasting it for seasoning and the tomato flavor just jumped out at me.
Also bought these when I made a bloody mary linguine. It tasted amazing but I didn't try the tomatoes by themselves
>>7376144
I've never liked Roma but they always seem to get the job done for sauces. Not a lot to choose from around here anyway. Most tomatoes are pretty awful which is why I didn't like them until I was 23 or 24. I still only think they're really good if they're caramelized or sun dried.
>>7376144
I think they are acidic but not too acidic. Nothing really comes close when it comes to a pizza or bolognese sauce.
What's your nationality and what did you eat today?

I haven't eaten anything yet. I'll probably eat in about eight hours. I have leftover ribs from last night.
Hey /ck/, any Floridafags here? I'm heading to Miami from UK in September. Can you guys suggest any really good places to eat?
>>7375352
If you're going to even try fast food, go here
Don't go to Miami, it's Americas very own Third World Hell Hole of a city
Or stay in Miami Beach. Yeah, surrounded by queers and hipsters, but less risk of stray bullets or driving the wrong road and seeing a Santaria sacrifice of chickens and goats in the middle of the road.

I get what you're trying to do here, unfortunately it's not as good material as you think it is
the gold certified chef schtick was a lot funnier, you should revive that one

Is ranch dressing on a pizza considered bad form?
>>7383587
Maybe if it wasn't so delicious.
>>7383587
Bottled ranch is disgusting. Scratch made ranch is the shiznit.
>>7383587
Not if you look like this
What's your countrys equivalent to pic related?
Pretty much every bakery here offers freshly made, simple sandwiches, fruit salads and yoghurts.
Stuff is actually fresh, really good and dirt cheap.
I'm not talking "regular" fast food, but something edible
I know Americans fot their Delis, but are they cheap/simple?
>>7383559
Canada has sushi
Depends on the deli, but generally, yes.
>>7383559
basically all grocery store and some gas stations have really cheap and somewhat tasty food
Delis are usually a step above, in terms of price and quality
RATE this meal, /ck/
Roast chicken and ramen cooked with extra spices (paprika and cayennne).
not worth starting it's own thread for/10
Would eat/10
more chicken, less ramen and sodium. drain the liquid and mix it up and put the chicken on the bed of ramen. Use fork, cut piece of chicken, twirl it up with some ramen. Decent meal with no nutrients or vitamins but hell, better than nothing.
Are carrots a meme?
Yes, everything that anyone likes is a meme.
glad to see the post quality is going up
Orange carrots are. They're supposed to be purple, but people started mimetically seeking more orange coloring until we ended up with the degenerate abominations we now see in every store.
'sup /ck/
Is there a super-food I can survive eating that and nothing else?
Semen, from as many unique sources as possible. Ideally, simultaneously.
