I have figured out a surefire way to get amazing, not mushy rice 100% of the time without a rice cooker.

I despise mushy rice, yet absolutely love firm rice. I sucked at making it until now!

Using basmati rice:

-Rinse dry rice
-Have a ratio of just over 1.5 to 1 water to rice
-Add a pinch of salt, just barely enough to taste
-Combine rice, water, and salt with 2 teaspoons of unsaturated oil
-Rapid boil 4 minutes
-Cover, barely simmer 20 min
-Don't stir after start

hey, people who are more adept at reading recipes than I... does she mean dried lentils in this recipe? I think so?

Since there's a cup of broth and you're supposed to bring to boil and then simmer for 25 mins, I assume dried is right...

Ciao Ihr Lieben, Ich hatte mir vorgestern eine scharfe Linsensuppe zubereitet..dazu nahm Ich: 1x braune Linsen, 1x Chili-Bohnen, 7 Knoblauchzehen, 3 Schlitten, 6 scharfe Peperonis, 3 Möhren, 1 Sellerie-Scheibe, 1 Porreestange, Petersilie, getrocknete Oregano & Basilikum, etwas Kreuzkümmel, 3 EL Gemüsebrühe, 1 1/2 L Wasser sowie bissel Öl.. alles knapp 1h köcheln lassen..

It is annoying how delicious mushroom jerky can be.

Bible study this morning. I'm cooking lentils, pork, and rice for burritos. I will be reading and resting as best I can this afternoon. Practice piano. 5e game tonight at Gamer's Haven.

Laplap

On the island of Malakula, this resident sprinkles coconut milk over a dish (laplap) of still-steaming meat and tubers, cooked in banana leaves in a traditional oven of hot stones set up in the garden. The contrast between the vegetable dish placed on a mat and the stylish interior of the residence illustrates the new way of living in #Vanuatu.
Vanuatu (2008).

I have a nasty habit of writing down recipes without many details, and without the actual name of the dish. I can't figure this one out:

1 red onion
1/2 c apple cider vinegar
1 T sugar
1-1/2 t salt
1 c hot water

WTF? Any guesses?

Recently I once again felt like kneading some dough, and made some 宽面 (wide noodles) which was turned into delicious 油泼面 (a type of oily-spicy noodles) by my girlfriend. Suffice to say, this won't be the last time of us making this dish
