No, there are three divisions. This is the senior hurling thread.

So on this thread, no posting pictures of food without a full description.
What the fuck is it?

Upping the Ramen standard here to drive the usual suspects mental. This is called Karaage Curry Ramen from the most excellent cookbook by Amy Kimoto-Kahn. It’s Thanksgiving eve here, when nobody does any work and it’s safer to be inside cooking that out battling traffic with half the fucking country driving around acting like assholes.

Start with 1.5 lb of boneless chicken thighs cut into inch squares and marinate them for a few hours in a cup of teriyaki sauce. It’s well worth making your own sauce but store bought is OK, easy to make, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger and mirin.

The hard part is making a miso base, miso is one of the five common Ramen types. You can make this at the same time as your chicken stock, the chicken stock, miso paste and curry paste are mixed together to make the final broth for the noodles.

This is the chicken stock bubbling away, I used store bought broth this time but added two pounds of hens feet, purchased for $2. As Insaid earlier gourmet food does not have to be expensive. The excellent quality organic chicken thighs were $8, I’d estimate the whole meal cost $15 and will feed 6 people.

I love how you live, how DO you do it mate?

I am at one with myself. I am comfortable in own skin. Everything else follows on, I feel like I am living in 2028 sometimes whilst most people are living in 1998

I’d say you’d have a nice living out of it if you went at the gourmet cooking full time.

I’d say I wouldn’t.

Look great, I typically put a small bit of curry powder into a parsnip based soup.

Thats an awful lot of time chopping and grating for something that was going to be boilt and blitzed

The “fine dining” thread :smiley: one langer posting up an exotic “soup” dish and the other langer advising that he’d usually lash in a bit of curry powder :smile:

Next some cunt will post up a few chips and @anon7035031 will be along to tell him he generally puts a lash of curry sauce in his.

That’s a very unnecessary and bitter post.

Labane is correct, curry powder is the perfect accompaniment for parsnip.
