I'll buy us some thyme!

This is the food blog of a humble garbage bug.
I'm posting all the food I cook here so my parents can rest assured that I am not starving myself to death.

Permalink xtynn: I WAS CRAVING AGEDASHI TOFU, but I was missing a few things! Next time I’ll use proper potato starch cos a friend of mine has some and i’ll get some spring onions, daikon and katsuobushi to top it off uhuhuhu but this is a really good substitute!! It was really filling~ Basically firm silken tofu coated in cornflour and “deep fried” in shallow pan with a good amount of vegetable oil (i mixed some sesame oil in too but I dunno how much of a difference that made). The sauce is 3/4 cup hon dashi and mirin + soy sauce + sugar to taste (would be good with sake too but it was on the top shelf and I’m too lazy to get a ladder orz). I microwaved the sauce 1 min (ideally i’d use a pan to heat it up but I only have one small one and it still had hot oil in it lol), spooned it on the tofu and sprinkled some shichimi on top u3u Would be nicer with the stuff I mentioned above but nah it’s snowing outside I’m not going nowhere to get shit. and also this was delicious even if it could have been better it was REALLY GOOD ANYWAY.

I’m bad at writing recipes because I don’t measure things and have no idea how to estimate, but taste it every once and a while and it should be fine! Ingredients: OnionShallots BaconChicken BreastHoneyMilkOlive OilBay leaf and other herbsSalt and pepperPasta of choice Boil the pasta as normal. While it’s cooking, slice the shallots, onions, bacon and chicken into little bite size chunks. Drain the pasta when it’s done and toss it with a bit of olive oil so the pasta doesn’t stick together and leave it. Heat up a saucepan and put a large dollop of honey onto it. It will substitute for oil. Fry everything in the honey (I usually do the bacon first so that it’s crispy), adding more as it burns away. If it needs more oil but you think it’s getting too sweet, use olive oil. After the chicken is seared on all sides (you don’t want it to be overcooked), put the pasta into the saucepan and pour in a generous amount of milk, one bay leaf, whatever herbs you want, and some salt and pepper. Let the milk boil down and taste. Make sure to stir so that the pasta doesn’t burn while you’re letting the milk evaporate. When that’s done taste it and make any adjustments. Add more honey or salt or pepper or whatever. Then take it off the pan and serve! NOTE IT IS EVEN BETTER IF YOU PUT GRATED CHEDDAR CHEESE IN IT IT’S WAAAY BETTER.

Permalink Smörgåscakes I made for the Eurovision party at Elwysia’s house today. I am actually really proud of them! Clearly I was psychic because Sweden won even though I actually voted for the Russian babushkas but shh. P.s. Hey this means I might have a chance of making it to Sweden for Eurovision next year. Who else is thinking of going…?
