Waffle's food blog: "Underwater Levels" Updated

I meant it as a question. D:
My recipe which I use uses 3 eggs and if you had a recipe with less, then I would be a happy mouse

Sorry bout that mouse, my bad on my part.
Uh.. just regular scramble eggs or something more fancy?

Oh the best of luck, hopefully you can share the food and fill your self.

I cant...but at least I will be at anime Boston in April. ^_^

regular ones. apparently a good chef knows how to make good scrambled eggs O.o

make it in april then lol XD

Umm....
i'm an okay chef at best.

but use one less egg yolk if you use three and add some milk or cream to it.
Just dont ever cook your eggs.
and season them with salt.
Thats how i do it.

UNDATES AN FOOD.

NEWS LINKS AN STUFF

I'm a big pasta guy, and i don't mind creme sauces, but i don't like actual tomato in my pasta. I love stuff made from tomatoes like tomato sauce, but not the actual tomato.

http://cookingwithghostwaffles.wordpress.com/ for got bout this.

So my mom requested some Kung Pao Chicken a while back but I was broke and had not peanuts. WELP I'm not broke and I got some peanuts, LOTS of them. So surprise lunch time. Its a healthier then what you would get from take out or frozen stuff. I did mess up this time with some of the ingredients I call this the "oh crap i just messed up and forgot some thing" way , but still tasted like the stuff you'd buy. Close enough


[/h]

*Ingredients You'll Use*




*Utensils You'll Use*






1) Let us start off with dem peanuts.

Take your shelled peanuts and place then in a small skillet on med heat for 8 minutes, to TOAST them. I repeat TOAST, NOT BURN.

Once they turned a brown toasted color, remove them form the heat and immediately place them in a flat plate to cool off or they'll over cook and taste meh.



1.5) If you have uncooked rice, I suggest you start cooking it now. Use a rice cooker or boil it. Just depend on how you cooked white rice.


2) Take two pound of your chicken meat and cut them up in to small bite able chunks and place them into the large bowl. Then add 2 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tspn of crushed red pepper, 1 tbsp of chile sauce and paste. Peal half and mince half your ginger root and peal and mince two garlic cloves and add them the chicken. Crush your two allspice balls and add to he bowl and mix them all together.

FORGOT SOMETHING INVOLVING CAMERA....

We'll let it rest for 30 mins while we do the rest of the other things.

3) Wash and clean off your bell peppers. Remove the stem top and cut the pepper in half. Remove any and all seeds left inside. Carefully remove the white membrane with a spoon or knife. Slice the pepper into quarter inch ribbons and then stack them on top of each other and cut them into thirds. DON'T TOUCH YO EYES.

Peal your other half of ginger root and mince it. Do the same with two of the garlic cloves.

Take half an onion and slice it into lengthwise; You should get about 5 or 6 wedges.


Take your spice pepper and mince it; If you prefer less spice remove the membrane and seeds. TOO LATE TOUCHED EYES . DEAL WITH BURN. E_)E



4) Set your wok/skillet on the highest heat your stove top can produce. Once you can see some steam come off it add, 1 tbsp of cooking oil ( Canola for me) then add your onion and quickly stir fry.

TAKE TWO, AFTER DOG INTERRUPTS TAKE ONE E_)E

Add your ginger , garlic, dried red chiles, 1 tbsp of chile paste, 1 tsp of ketchup into the mix and stir still over the hight heat. Let everything caramelize for a minute or two. BE SURE YOU DON'T BURN ANYTHING, I'LL KNOW IF YOU DO E_)E

Now add your chicken into wok. The heat will drop, so no worries.

There that chicken....

Before your chicken is fully cooked add in your 3 tbsp of chicken broth and 1 tbsp of corn starch.

Stir and then add your bell peppers and your toasted peanuts onto top of the chicken let them steam for a minute or two.

Peppers of bells

Stir everything up. Taste and season to taste remove form the heat an let it rest while we get our plates.

LET US PLAT AND SERVE

There you have it, quality food and your not broke! Always a plus. Left overs get better in a day, but not so well in 3 days. So... yeah.

Enjoy your food! Till next time.

Sooooo..... Its been a long time since I've had real home made flan. Not that crap you get from a box or the cold section in a store, THE REAL STUFF I MEAN! Honesty this in my second attempt on making flan, the first time I made it; I was helping VERY LONG AGO (12 years ago...) Cough... Yeah this for me was a hit and miss personally, but others liked it. I did make two versions.


*Ingredients You'll Use*




*Utensils You'll Use*







1) We'll start off with the caramel sauce!

Take 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/3 cup of water and place it in a steel/copper pot. Set the heat to high and let it heat up. DO NOT STIR, I SWEAR TO SOMETHING DO NOT STIR.

Once you see the sugar water begin to lightly bubble, swirl the pot to get any undissolved sugar and let it continue heating up on a med-high heat.


If your like me and have no thermometer of sorts, keep an eye on it. Once it turns turns a light shimmering gold that's the KEY SIGNAL that your a minute or two from amber and dark amber.

Once it become a dark amber remove from the heat and add in 2 TBSP of hot water into the caramel and swirl it around. CAREFUL ITS LIKE DELICIOUS NAPALM E_)E

Immediately pour the caramel into your ramekins/ molds and set those aside for now.



Here a demo of the sauce, forget what i say in the end.

TIP: QUICKLY WASH THE POT IF YOU HAVE ANY BURNT ON SUGAR OR REGRET IT LATER.

In anther pot boil 4+ litters of water. Once it boils, keep it on a low simmer.


2) Place two pots on med-high heat and add in 2 cups of milk in one and 1 1/2 cups of milk in the other.

Add 1 TBSP Nutella into the smaller pot. Stir it in to dissolve properly.


The other one gets! 1 TBSP of vanilla extra in it.

Let the pots simmer, do not let them boil! Occasionally stir them so the bottom doesn't burn.

3) Onto the eggs!

Crack 8 eggs int a large bowl and whisk them together.


thats it.

4) In one bowl add 2 cups of sugar and in another add 1 1/2 cups of sugar in it.

Preheat your oven to 325F

5) By now your milks should be simmering. Lower he heat to med-low on both!

In the vanilla milk pot add in 2 cups of sugar, stir to dissolve. NOW add half of your egg mixture into another bowl. SLOWLY AS POSSIBLE POUR IN THE HOT MILK INTO THE EGGS. WE DON'T WANT SCRAMBLE EGGS OR BOILED EGG CURDS DO WE? E_)E NO.

In the nutella milk pot add in 1 1/2 cups of sugar and stir to dissolve again. Do the same as above .

6) Okay so now strain your egg-milk mixtures into an empty bowl, we're getting any of the egg proteins that might have formed up.



NOW WE POUR.

Remember those ramekins with caramel? GET THEM NOW.

Carefully pour in your mixture into the ramekins, Do not over fill them. Leave enough of head room for them. Fill what you can.

That water we left boiling, now we'll use it now!

In a larger dish (larger then the ramekins that you used baking dishes woork very well) pour in the hot water, about 1/3 of an inch. Place your filled in ramekins and pour in more water till till it reaches half of the ramekins height.

7) OVEN THE OVEN

Place both in the center rack of your oven, CAREFULLY NO SPILLS.

CLOSE OVEN

WALK AWAY

We'll be baking it at 325F for 30 mins and rotate it 180 degrees

After that wait another 15 mins.

*for small ones it should take roughly 45 - 55 mins

*larger flans 50 - 80 mins

8) SHAZAM!

Take it out of the oven and let it rest to room temp!



THEN place it in the fridge for 2 plus hour!

(two hours is the minimum for it to cool, leaving it over night does wonders though)
ONCE IT FULLY CHILLED


Uses a flat knive to cut around the edges to remove its hold to the plate.

Place a flat plate on top of it and FLIP IT OVER.

If nothing falls lightly tap the top.

There you go!

Home made flan!
Now plate some up and share the golden goodness!


Enjoy the flan of you labor and be sure to cover any left over up!

I'll explain some stuff in side notes.

Side Notes!

O.o

the kapow chicken thing looks all nice.

I might actually try and make an attempt at the flan some time, as the ingredients are cheap and simple

Just dont burn the milk or the sauce.

hence why I said make an attempt. I shall try my best

okay.

None of the images are showing up for me

Also, do you have any other easy/inexpensive recipes involving nutella?I have a bunch and want to get rid of it somehow

DO you have photbucket bloked?

and

i have one for nutella cupcakes/bread.
I'll post it later once i write it down.

Nevermind, they are showing now. And i want to try this one...a while ago i tried to make flan pie but the texture was fully flan-like

*drools* I am stealing all your recipes from now on, Waffle
