Small compromise Tonkotsu ramen with black garlic oil. compromise is no tare and no chashu, just used pan grilled bacon strips. Also didn't bother to make ajitamago

I made salmon bisque using habanero chili and curry powder as the seasoning. Not bad, but could use some herbs in it. Another recipe I have in another cookbook uses herbs and fennel in it, so I might try that recipe sometime.
 
Made some homemade Miso soup since I've been sick and had some Dashi and Miso paste left over. Still have some left over so might make some Chanko Nabe once I'm feeling better.
 
Made escargot from this recipe. It wasn't bad, but the ingredients were pretty expensive (turns out the shells get so hot in the cooking process it would be impractical to reuse them), and by the time you actually cook them they're soaking in butter.
 
I did pan seared chicken with a mushroom pan sauce over couscous with some roasted carrots coated in nooch, so they tasted like they were coated in parm. The pan sauce consisted of fresh mushrooms and diced onion sautéed in 1T butter till the mushrooms had reduced down in size. Then I added some chicken stock, sour cream, and a splash of cream. I added the chicken back and simmered till it thickened down, turning the tenders every two minutes to coat.

Sounds good, though 1,000 kg seems to me too much butter.
 
I tried to cook some butternut squash and chicken curry and it was very good. My grandma liked it so much that she asked me for the recipe, since she only cooks meals from her youth, which means she never tried butternut squash before. I love cooking new things and sharing new tastes with my family.

Food tastes best if you make it yourself and share it with others in general.
 
Made plov yesterday, Uzbek style. But more importantly, I just watched Tucker Carlson eat a fucking baked good with cicadas in it. I'm not eating the bugs and living in the pod, damn it.

I am actually appalled at how common eating cicadas is?! This is the first year I've ever heard of it.

Cicadas are common here, we have several groups of seven years that crop up from time to time. They're not bad for eating, all bugginess aside. Kind of like crawfish, minus the dirty creek flavor. Catch the young ones. If someone has a locust infestation that destroys all their crops and livlihood, then they learn really quickly how tasty the locusts are. They lend themselves to any flavor, and taste like tiny freshwater shrimps. Cook up that way, too.

I feel like that episode of TNG where the admirals all start eating grubs, because they've been taken over by aliens.
 
Someone mentioned not making ramen eggs while I actually made them spontaneously. Sort of, I have never eaten them, didn't make ramen and I didn't look up a recipe because anyone can cook using a recipe, so other than soy(obviously) I had no clue what goes in them. I used soy, some chili flakes, some olive oil, a tiny bit of sugar for reasons unknown and then I saw a shaker of garam masala on the shelf and I have to use it for something so I put a tiny bit of that into it.

I put the soft-boiled eggs in a plastic bag and poured all of that over it, pressed the air out and sealed it. Put it into the fridge and over a period of 5-6 days I turned and massaged the bag everytime I pulled something out or put something in. They turned out really good and compared to the plain eggs(I ate one while making it) they turned out super creamy and the garam masala added a slight aromatic flavor. Not authentic in any way but still really good.

I then used them for the ships scramble: cod fried in lots of butter, the key to the (loosely translated) ships scramble is when the cod is poked while frying so it starts to slide apart and every flakey piece sucks up all that butter, then boiled potatoes and broccoli boiled in broth. The broccoli isn't traditionally part of it but broccoli, spinach or fried/roasted tomatoes goes so well with cod.

That might have been me since I wanted to try using duck eggs to go with my duck ramen, but couldn't find any. The basic recipe I think is just soy sauce, mirin, and sugar.
 
Phodon lol. I made a pho broth in the instant pot, and made some udon noodles since I didn't have rice noodles, and put it all together with some chicken and veg.

Black pudding and eggs for breakfast.

Tonight was fresh local spot prawns in garlic butter, with a semi pasta primavera. The sauce was 3/4s slow cooked to mush zucchini and the rest milk. Blended together, it was pretty creamy and yummy.

The heads will be frozen and turned into rich fish broth.
