As long as I'm contemplating updating my food blog again (having been so insistently nudged), is there anything specific people would like to see there?
Anything that involve Taleggio, Bandaged Cheddar, or Buffalo Mozzarella.
Also, Banana bread. Cake.
Personally, I would benefit most from an article about creative things to add to high-end Ramen beyond eggs.
Still working your way through that list of cheeses, huh? Banana bread I can do. *starts a list*
Why were these downvoted?
Huh.
(Edit: This post makes less sense now - it was made when the parent post (about unexplained downvotes) received an unexplained downvote.)
The koreans do some wonderful stuff with ramen. kimchi works really well.
So do typical asian stir-fry vegies - bok choi, bamboo shoots, stripped spring onions with a splash of oyster sauce or that sweet, thick indonesian soy sauce (ketjap manis).
When I'm cooking Ramen I add a sliced carrot and celery stick, boil them a few minutes, then add the noodles and eggs, and little milk.
Not a specific recipe but I'd be interested in a post about how to improvise in general. When you decide you want to make something and you see that you have a weird set of ingredients, how do you decide what to do? Similarly, how can you tell when it is ok to swap one spice with another? I for example have found empirically that recipes that use curry can work well with cumin and but the reverse doesn't seem to go as well. Are there any general guidelines for that sort of thing?
I wrote a little about this onsite, actually: Saturation, Distillation, Improvisation: A Story About Procedural Knowledge And Cookies
(Regarding "curry" and cumin, curry powder isn't actually a spice. It's a spice blend, which usually contains cumin - so things that call for curry powder will taste fine if you put in cumin, since you were already going to put in cumin, but putting curry powder into something that calls for cumin entails putting in a bunch of extra stuff like turmeric that may not work.)
