What did you Cook today?

[Londonrockz568]

Post what you made for yourself one day. Just tell ppl what you made or give them the details so others can try for themselves. DO NOT QUOTE IMAGES. I made homemade fried chicken spring rolls. With dipping sauce. Here's how i make em.

What you need: Spring roll paper, white cabbage shredded, Bambo shoot, green onion, ginger, rice noodle, carrots, red peppers, white meat chicken cooked however you want before (ull have to mince this or shred it), sugar, Salt, sesame seeds, blackpepper, Oyster sauce, and Soy sauce, 1 beaten egg and vegetable oil.

Dipping Sauce: Rice wine, Soy sauce, Sesame sauce, chili peppers, sugar, tiny bit 1tsp lemon. Mix and thats it. I like it simple, you can get really crazy with dipping sauces.

Pretty much, get a wok, or something to sautee the veg and chicken pour a little veg oil, mix in the chicken, rice noodles, cabbage, carrots, red peppers, ginger, green onion, sugar, oyster sauce, Soy sauce, salt and pepper and sesame seeds. Only need to soften the veg dont overcook.

Get the Spring roll paper, beat the egg and "paint" the edges of the paper. Take about a good sized spoonful of the veg/chicken place it at a corner of the paper. Roll the corner and encase the mix, fold in the sides "paint" the rest with egg and roll it up.

Deep fry in the veg oil until gold then take them out and place them on a paper towel. Takes like 2min.

Dang, London, that looks really good. I'm impressed! I haven't cooked a thing today, yet; ate out for lunch. Will have to give this a try sometime.

[The Apple]

That does look good.

[Londonrockz568]

Thanks, Now sum1 else post something lol.

Day off ordering in plans turned into "we're poor"... so I made these:

[Londonrockz568]

Beerchicken? Is that seriously a cooked item or a joke?

Pizza is always good no matter how rich or broke. Potato chips originally were for French Royalty. I think the story is somthing like the king told the chef the "french fries" were to fat, so the chef cut them smaller and sent it out. They came back with the king saying they're still to fat, and out of spite the chef cut them so thin you could see thru them. The king loved them lol.

[iCafe]

I dont know how to cook i want to atleast learn one meal but until then
My wife made some great mashed potatoes and bbq chicken
she's the best cook <3

[Londonrockz568]

Be happy your wife is a good cook. Thats already a +1

[psylichon]

The beercan chicken is real and a delicious way to do a bird. Google it!

[acosmichippo]

a friend and i made fish tacos and fried calamari today w/ sweet&sour ****tail sauce.

it was amazing.

[TarekElsakka]

Londonrocks, that looks delicious!

Dave, *the first picture* I seriously lost my appetite LOL.

I knew you'd say something of low intellect. But yes, my cooking makes me very happy.

[acosmichippo]

aw, you hosed my joke.

[iCafe]

I knew you'd say something of low intellect. But yes, my cooking makes me very happy.

it was a compliment bro

[Londonrockz568]

Backhanded compliments arent compliments. Real men can cook...its not only for women and women love it when men cook for them.

[TarekElsakka]

Women do love it when their men cook for them, at least that's what I've heard from a lot of people, but it's bad for the man once they get used to it :).

[Londonrockz568]

Sun-dried tomato and portobello mushroom Shrimp linguine with a little parmesan cheese.

Turned out really good, as i didnt over cook the shrimp this time.

http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m157/LondonRockz568/photo-2.jpg

[TarekElsakka]

Looks tasty. Who taught you how to cook very well like that? Or did it just come by luck and trying over and over again?

[psylichon]

i didnt over cook the shrimp this time.

That's tricky... I always tend to do that.

I'm the cook around my house, but I've been in a lazy slump lately. I'll try to get something good looking in this thread soon...

[acosmichippo]

i made bacon fried rice today.

that's living.

Im an only child and with two busy parents you kinda just pick it up. Altho my mom does teach me how to cook the traditional stuff.

Do it lol.Im curious to see what the avg american makes besides the trip to the drive thru. The shrimp is kinda a hit or miss type of thing, either you get the perfect, or they become rubbery.

[Saverino]

I think I know what I'll have for breakfast tomorrow, thanks Dave. :)

London, you're seriously an awesome cook. I wish I could cook like you.
Today I had BBQ with home made BBQ sauce (none made by me). It was.. alright, lol.

[MileHighRob]

Cheesy Eggs:

[Alexander]

Jeez, I guess I'm the only person who likes to taste the food before judging how good it is? It looks impressive though.

[TarekElsakka]

That looks delicious, Dave.

[Pakhangsari]

I cooked my favorite Indian cuisine!

That's "Potato & Tomato Dry" garnished with Coriander leaves.

Its simple:

Take 2 mid-sized potatoes and boil them for 15 minutes.

Slice 2 fresh tomatoes and 2 onions

Then chop some coriander leave about 50 mg

After the potatoes are boiled, fry them in mustard oil to which tomatoes and onions should be put into.

Then add salt, and spices according to your taste.

Cook for some 15 minutes and garnish with coriander!

Tryyyyy it!

Thankyou Sav...i dont know how it is in L.A or other places in america but overseas its not uncommon for men or even only children to cook for themselves in asian or even other cultures.

Now that im back from HK ill make something a little challenging like thai or indian cuisine. Its hard b/c you need to make it look/taste nice w/o it being fattening.

[Mrs. iCafe]

your going to make some guy very happy one day

ACTUALLY... He's going to make some WOMAN VERY VERY happy one day! so...Take a lesson!:dft012:wink

[Mrs. iCafe]

Backhanded compliments arent compliments. Real men can cook...its not only for women and women love it when men cook for them.

I agree! Its super sexy to see a man be able to prepare a delicious meal for you. It makes a woman feel special, loved & very lucky! And a happy woman is a GOOD thing! It doesnt have to be fancy, but its the effort & thought that counts! & Thomas/"icafe"..who ever you are at the moment..you have this immature idea that cooking a meal somehow demasculates you..& actually its that mentality that does!

:dft007:angry

Soon im going to have to go by the EX Mrs. icafe if you dont let go of this jerky persona!

[Londonrockz568]

[Mrs. iCafe]

Well back to the topic, today I made Rigatoni pasta with garlic & onion tomato sauce & breaded chicken breast. It was very yummy! :021:bigsmile

I didn't take pics..bc I never thought to..lol..but this is basically it

Wow that breaded chicken and pasta look really good.

[Londonrockz568]

http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m157/LondonRockz568/photo-25.jpg

Orange Chicken (i guess you'd call it breaded and fried) with Noodles carrots, broccoli, peas, baby corn. The chicken (white meat) is done with a spicy but tangy sauce... i went a little light with the sauce since i dont like over drenched food (makes the batter get mushy).

[TarekElsakka]

Awesome plate. You got to come to Egypt some day man, since you already travel a lot, I want to try your plates lol!

[Londonrockz568]

What kind of food do they have regional wise in Egypt? If its like israeli food then i can make some couscous and chicken or taboule with israeli salad.

[TarekElsakka]

It's mainly rice or pasta, chicken or meat with potato, and many other things. The food here is great, I am not saying that because I am Egyptian, but because I've tried different kinds of food in different countries and I can say that Egyptian food (the ones you guys are not used to) is great. At least better than Chinese!

[psylichon]

Currently in the oven: Turkey bacon ranch pizza

http://irovr.com/img/users/8822/N_211810.jpg

[Saverino]

Turkey...bacon...ranch... Man that sounds good.

[Londonrockz568]

Aww Dave.... is that pizza a frozen pre made and u just crank the oven to 400* or did you make everything from scratch?

Sav....hurry up and make something.

[psylichon]

It was awesome. I'll post a cooked pic if ya want, though it just looks like pizza.

The crust was Boboli... Premade but not frozen. I haven't gotten into making my own dough yet. I'll be making this one often though.

[psylichon]

Why not:

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f188/psylichon/photo-24.jpg

[TarekElsakka]

Delicious. You keep making me hungry, Dave, now I will have to go and cook something :(.

[Londonrockz568]

Please do i want to see an egyptian dish.

[The Apple]

Egyptian stuffed grape leaves.

http://www.mylebaneserecipes.com/images/stuffedGrapeLeaves_1_.jpg

[Londonrockz568]

Apple did you make that?!

[TarekElsakka]

I bet not, it looks like a Googled image :p. And since you want to see some Egyptian food, I'll ask my maid to cook some and I'll take pictures for you.

[The Apple]

Apple did you make that?!

No way. Google cooked up that Egyptian food. I wouldn't be able to show you Egyptian food even if I were in Egypt!!

[evolution83]

too much food; it all looks great!

I <3 orange chicken, london. you better ship me some of that overnight lol

I can cook here and there but nothing like London has posted. I should practice more, I used to "cook" a lot as a kid.

[Londonrockz568]

I bet not, it looks like a Googled image :p. And since you want to see some Egyptian food, I'll ask my maid to cook some and I'll take pictures for you.


Make her make something really egyptian..... like jidaty(?) style.
jidaty means grandma right? or tata something like that.

[TarekElsakka]

Jidaty means "my grandmother" but that's the gulf way of pronouncing it. "Gedety" is the Egyptian way. And yeah, I'll do so.

[Londonrockz568]

looking forward for inspiration.

So you'd say gedety with a "Geh" sound for the G?

[evolution83]

I like making brown rice with lean ground beef and spaghetti sauce. :)

[Londonrockz568]

Eh? Make it with orzo.

May not be as healthy as brown rice, but it'll be more on the pasta side with the sauce.

Pics?!

[evolution83]

Nah, I use brown rice when I do the whole "diet" routine. I haven't made it in a while. Maybe I will next week. ;)

[Londonrockz568]

I could never get past the over chewy texture of brown rice. Mind you it's not that important to my diet bc everything I eat is balanced with steam veg or boiled etc

what's so good about it besides it being a differnt rice type? Less carbs?

No, it's just better for you more than white rice. Brown rice contains whole grains and a lot of nutrients that's vital to your health Here's a short run down on what brown rice contains and why it's better:



Manganese-Energy Production Plus Antioxidant Protection
Women Who Eat Whole Grains Weigh Less
Brown Rice is Rich in Fiber and Selenium
Lower Cholesterol with Whole Brown Rice
Significant Cardiovascular Benefits for Postmenopausal Women
Phytonutrients with Health-Promoting Activity Equal to or Even Higher than that of Vegetables and Fruits
Lignans Protect against Heart Disease
Reduce Your Risk of Metabolic Syndrome
Brown Rice and Other Whole Grains Substantially Lower Type 2 Diabetes Risk
A Good Source of Fiber
Fiber from Whole Grains and Fruit Protective against Breast Cancer

[iCafe]

Jidaty means "my grandmother" but that's the gulf way of pronouncing it. "Gedety" is the Egyptian way. And yeah, I'll do so.

When your maid is done cooking make her do my laundry.

[TarekElsakka]

looking forward for inspiration.

So you'd say gedety with a "Geh" sound for the G?

You can use both, but "Geh" is used more often. And teita is used to call her when face to face.

[Londonrockz568]

So Tarek wheres that food?

[TarekElsakka]

My maid actually traveled to the Northern Coast with her family before yesterday for a 10-days vacation; it's the summer. So wait till she comes back; this Monday, I think.

I clean after myself. My mother cleans after herself and my sisters. My father cleans after himself. That's how it is nowadays. And we mainly order food (delivery), too lazy to cook. Oh and there's another maid that comes every two days to clean up the house.

[The Apple]

What are you Tarek, the egyptian Fresh Prince of Bel Air? Do you need to call Jeffrey back from vacation?

If you play videos games then you should know what this is. I made it from scratch for my friends B-day party.

Do not touch the operational end of the Device. Do not look into the operational end of the Device. Do not submerge the Device in liquid, even partially. If you complete the enrichment center.... there will be cake. Its the "Portal Cake" From Valve Link here: http://orange.half-life2.com/portal.html

Potato-crusted baked cod with braised mustard greens and butter-steamed cauliflower.

http://www.clhmt.com/ccg.jpg
http://www..clhmt.com/ccg.jpg

[Londonrockz568]

The fish looks really good, but ill pass on the cauliflower. (always hated it even as a baby my mom said).

How'd you do the fish?? Bread it then bake?

[cindra]

Put it through an egg wash and then instant potato flakes with a lot of seasonings added, then baked. I turned the broiler on for the last couple of minutes to brown it up a little more on the top.

Actually, the potato flakes make an awesomely crispy crust if you're pan-frying fish or chicken, but they definitely need seasoning. :dft009:happy

[acosmichippo]

My friend and I did fish tacos and sweet potato fries today... And then I had this idea:

http://emob15.photobucket.com/albums/a393/acosmicfriend/photo-46.jpg

sweet potato fries lightly salted, with marshmallows and cinnamon. Absolutely amazing.

[psylichon]

At first I though ^that^ was the bat symbol. And then I thought it was a representation of your current avatar.

It's been a long day.

[acosmichippo]

Don't worry, my friend said the same thing about the bat symbol.

Unfortunately the fries didn't last long enough for another shot.

[Londonrockz568]

Israeli dish tonight. Ptitim (Israeli Couscous a.k.a Ben Gurion's rice) ground meat and veg, with baked squash, mushrooms, aubergine, and sweet potato (Bits around it)

Ptitim is like Risotto that you dont need to stir as well as being easier to make than risotto. It was my first time making this dish and it was WONDERFUL.

I wonder if Tarek will be happy :D

[Londonrockz568]

T_T I just put them around everything because the baking sheet was already in the dishwasher.

Raw meat? Sick!

Steak tartare = heaven

[Londonrockz568]

Steamed Shrimp Dumplings made by hand... i was in the mood for a mid day dimsum.
Very easy to make, i'd say its just time consuming with preparation taking around 30-40 min if you dont know how to quickly make the dumplings and gather all the things needed to fill them. Line the steamer with any type of lettuce. Cook time takes 10min steaming on a high fire with boiling water underneath. The sauce is just a basic soy, red rice vinegar, hot chili oil, ginger and garlic, whisk to mix serve at room temp. Enjoy.

Oh my God, that looks DELICIOUS. Love it!

[computerfox]

veggie burgers and salad ftw!!!! yummmy!!!

[juls1585]

im not much of a cook but tonight im attempting stuffed peppers. its simple, but who knows if itll work!

[Londonrockz568]

Why don't you post some videos on YouTube, London? You may get lucky enough to be noticed and have your own cooking show.

I doubt it... theres sooo many people who post cooking videos on youtube. I just do it because i dont eat the same food twice. Unless the meal was big. I like to experiment and try new things and new foods (unless im cooking a traditional dish like the dumplings). Like ill cook a different cultures food to my best ability and i like sharing with you guys what i cooked.

[evolution83]

Maybe come this weekend I'll make some sort of cake or cookies from scratch seeing as I'll have all the time in the world.

[juls1585]

i made a yellow cake today with chocolate frosting...my mom just had some and said she was impressed :)

[Londonrockz568]

I love Chocolate cake... i just suck at baking so i cheat and use the box ones instead of doing it from scratch.

[juls1585]

i can bake! i just cant cook. everyone loves when i bake. this coming weekend we have friends thanksgiving and im making a potato dish and then im incharge of deserts. i have no idea what i am going to make yet

[Londonrockz568]

Oooh make Crème brûlée

[psylichon]

Stuffed chicken. Nothing special, but it was stuffed with bacon and cheese so it rocked of course. :ok:ok

http://irovr.com/img/users/8822/220745.jpg?

Is that Chicken flavor Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco treat?

[psylichon]

No, just something of this variety:

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51D10ZN0K5L._SL500_SS100_.jpg

I'm lazy with sides.

[Londonrockz568]

OOOOHHH DAVE.

How did you make that?! What do you stuff the chicken with? etc etc.

On another note. So My friends saw the pictures of my Dumplings on my iPhone and want me to make them for an early thanksgiving dinner before i leave. Im gona be making a crap load for about 6-8 people. Wish me luck... because i have to figure out how to keep them from getting cold or rubbery while i make as many batches as will fit inside my steamer lol.

Ontop of that, they want another asian dish. One of my friends is making Peanut Sauce Stirfried Chicken. I think ill make Singapore Mei Fun to go with it.

[psylichon]

OOOOHHH DAVE.

How did you make that?! What do you stuff the chicken with? etc etc.

I butterflied some chicken breasts, pounded out flat, seasoned with a rub, and sprinkled some crisped bacon over top. Added mozz cheese, rolled it up. Pan seared in the rendered bacon fat, drained the fat then into the oven for about 45 minutes. Topped with more cheese to serve.

Jen said I can make it again, so it was successful. :ok:ok

Excuse me!!! Very nice Posh food there!!!:ok:ok

[ericsinsideout]

I thank you, I kinda cheated, the salmon came from Trader Joe's, but I improved the asparagus by sauteing it in olive oil, lemon pepper, garlic and salt. It's "posh" food for the person who had way to much to do today with no energy left to really cook, but hey, the girlfriend loved it so I'm ok with taking the easy way out this time :ok:ok

[psylichon]

Chicks dig fish. I think it's the only real reason I make it.

[ericsinsideout]

I agree kinda, my lady likes salmon, but not much else. I'm determined to get her into sushi some day, but until then, baby steps

Does she not like the "raw" factor? or she's not a big seafood (mainly fish) person?

Mmmm, the closest way to get her into sushi is maybe having her try different types of fish.

Try cooking Salmon, Grouper fillet, Tilapia, Cod. Most of the time people will eat the same fish used for Sushi when its cooked. Get them used to the flavour. You can also mix it up with cooked fish broken into chunks over a nice salad. Served Cold. Maybe mix in some cooked, and some raw bits of fish.

She's really just not that into seafood. Of course to make the sushi a harder sell, she won't believe me when I try to tell her most of it is cooked to some extent

Try to start her out on Philly rolls. If she can't deal with that, give up.

yeah, thought about that, but she doesn't like the avocado. I love them though, one of my favorites.

[Londonrockz568]

Are those creme cheese rolls?

Tonight I broiled two small filet Mignon cuts ( about 6 ounces total) topped with a slice of havarti cheese, thinly sliced portabella mushroom cap and tomato browned and mixed in a butter-wine-cheese sauce, with cheese broccoli on the side, with a glass of Remole Frescobaldi red wine.

Hey, I live by myself and I was sick of ramen and hungry man dinners.

[psylichon]

Livin' large, Hawk. Bacon would have put it over the top, though. ;)

Ew. I can even imagine. 9 am and mac n cheese sounds awesome!

[Krunk83]

Dude, mac and cheese with cut up hot dogs is the bomb diggity! Last night my wife made pork chops stuffed with garlic stuffing, a caesar salad, rice, and green beans. I would have posted a pic if I new this thread existed.

Oh yeah, it grosses my wife out but it's so good. It started in college when my roommate got me into it. I only do it once and a while though.

My favorite late night snack from last night. This time I fried the English muffin in bacon fat:

[juls1585]

im so jealous of you right now dave. that looks amazing. i skipped dinner last night. i really shouldnt have

[TarekElsakka]

Dave, does every meal you cook have to contain Bacon? I swear man...

I think the only one that doesn't was the one you posted pictures of earlier, but maybe it did and I didn't see.

[psylichon]

There was likely bacon in there somewhere. Making a meal without bacon is like drinking decaf coffee... what's the point???

;)

[TarekElsakka]

Dave, you're seriously making me want to try Bacon. You make it seem so tasty. I'm not supposed to eat Bacon because I'm Muslim but I don't think I'll mind trying some when I go to the USA or some foreign country next time (secretly, of course), because you won't find here.

[Krunk83]

HOLY CRAP! Make sure you get it crispy. Mmmmmm....

My favorite is a bacon cheeseburger with onion rings and bbq sauce. So good!
