My time to shine This isn't slowcooking, but those packets make really good butter chicken in less than 30 min. The wife and I have that at least once every two weeks.

u/RoseOfSharonCassidy · 61 pointsr/EatCheapAndHealthy

Seconding Maesri, it's absolutely amazing and VERY easy to prepare. I buy on Amazon

u/jay_emdee · 27 pointsr/GifRecipes

Sure! I usually just throw this together with whatever veg I have on hand, so measurements may not be precise. But it always turns out great.

-2-3T coconut or olive oil

-4 large or 6 small bone-in chicken thighs, skins reserved

-1 large onion, cut into petals

-1 red bell pepper, large dice

-1 garlic clove, minced

-3 red potatoes, large dice (sometimes I use squash instead, if I have it around)

-1 large head of broccoli, cut into bite-size florets

-2-3T Mae Ploy curry paste I usually use the red, which is medium heat. Yellow is milder, green is spicier.

-1 Kaffir lime leaf, if you have access to them. If not, nbd.

-1 can coconut milk

-1 c chicken stock

  • 1/4c cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water)

    Garnishes:

    -Minced basil

    -Toasted coconut (it’s a good idea to make extra for next time)

    -lime wedges

    -fried chicken skin, minced

    Method:

    -Heat up a large, deep skillet to medium heat, add oil.

    -Heat a second smaller pan for skins. Lay them in flat, turn to medium heat, and keep a close eye on them while you’re putting the curry together, turning often. Your goal is a very crisp skin. This usually takes 10-15 minutes. Once they’re done, pull them out and set on a plate lined with a paper towel.

    -Brown chicken thighs on both sides, in large skillet. Once browned, pull them out and set aside.

    -Add onions and pepper, along with a teaspoon or so of Kosher salt. Scrape bottom of pan while cooking. Once onions are translucent, add garlic, cook for 30 seconds or so.

    -Add chicken stock and stir, then add coconut milk. Add in curry paste, breaking it up to incorporate well. Add potatoes and/or squash and lime leaf, if using.

    -Return chicken thighs to pan. There should be enough liquid to just cover the thighs. If not, add more stock, or even water is fine.

    -Boil, then turn to simmer and cover. Set a timer for 20 minutes, check for seasoning and curry strength about halfway in.

    While that’s cooking

    Prep your garnishes, and make yourself some rice.

    -mince basil
    -toast coconut
    -cut limes
    -mince chicken skins

    When your timer goes off, pull off the lid of the curry, add no more than 1T of your cornstarch slurry and stir. Take it easy with the slurry. Too much and you’ll have a disgusting, gloppy mess. The consistency you’re looking for is nappe, or just thick enough to cover the back of a spoon.

    -Add in the broccoli, cover and cook for 3 more minutes. Take off the lid, and give it a stir.

    Put that shit over rice.

    -Garnish with a heavy hand.

    -Enjoy!

Mae Ploy is a highly regarded curry paste and can be found in some groceries in the asian section.

It has much better flavor than the "Thai Kitchen" crap you'll find in most US grocery stores. Also, it holds in the fridge for numerous months and you only use a few tablespoons (I like it hot!) per dish.

I buy mine on amazon.

u/mizzack · 21 pointsr/Paleo

The basic gist of it is:

Empty a can of curry paste (e.g. http://amzn.com/B000ETLVXC This stuff should be $1-$1.50 at an Asian grocery. There are all sorts of varieties.) into a saute pan over medium heat. Stir it around until it becomes fragrant, about 30s - 1min. Add a sliced onion. Stir for a few seconds. Add a can of coconut milk (13.5oz / 400mL) and stir well to incorporate all of the curry paste into the base.

At this point, lower the heat to a simmer and add your raw protein if it's chicken, pork, or beef. If you're using shrimp or mussels or something that cooks more quickly, hold off for a few mins.

Add whatever veggies you're going to add. Get creative... Literally anything will work. I like adding small cubes of acorn squash, for example.

Splash in some fish sauce for saltiness and umami, lower heat, and simmer until your protein and veggies are done, stirring occasionally. Adjust spiciness as you see fit. Once done, juice a lime into the curry (or do it per-serving when eating)

This is super basic... You can kick it up a notch by adding lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, thai basil, etc. But this will get you 90% of the way there for about $4 + cost of protein + cost of veggies, with enough to feed 3-4. Chock full of good coconut fat and only limited by your creativity. The asian market I go to has probably 10 different varieties of curry paste (they even come with preparation suggestions too)

edit: It'll be pretty saucy, so it's best to serve it over a substrate of some sort. Starch would be good here. Or, you could add broth to the curry to make it into a soup.

u/Fireye · 20 pointsr/anime_irl

You use curry cubes as a pre-made roux that forms the base of the curry. S&B is pretty popular in the states, so I guess this

u/El_Hechizado · 17 pointsr/Cooking

Essentials:

  • Noodles: Udon, ramen, soba, vermicelli
  • Sauces: soy sauce, chili sauce (Sriracha is my fave), black bean garlic sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce
  • Oils/vinegars/wines: mirin, shaoxing cooking wine, rice vinegar, peanut oil, toasted sesame oil
  • Spices: Star anise, 5 spice powder, chili flakes

    Optional, but stuff I really like to have around:

  • Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • Dried seaweed
  • Miso paste
  • Bonito flakes (dried tuna flakes used to make dashi, a Japanese broth)
  • Doubanjiang (Chinese spicy bean paste, essential for Ma Po Tofu)

Get out your globe (at least figuratively) and look at cuisines on the same latitude (plus or minus from the equator) as his native place. Those cuisines will generally have similar available herbs, spices and cooking methods. but be totally different from his home cuisine, so you are not making a "bad copy". I have a Guatemalan future son-in-law and made the discovery quite accidentally when I caused him to fall in love with northern Thai food, which we love around here. Cajun and Gullah cooking also fit the pattern.

Your comment about curry surprised me - a lot - because Thai is built on herb pastes, but if you grew up with Mediterranean, your understanding of curry may be shaped by the India trade. Try a Mae ploy paste for a dead easy meal that I cannot imagine he would reject. You need only coconut milk, protein and veg to get dinner on the table in a half hour.

If you grew up in old time Southern, you grew up with a relish tray on the table: chow chow, tabasco, quick pickle type stuff. He did too, but more likely chili oil, chopped peanuts, sesame oil and fresh herbs. A lot of meals that may not appeal to him they way you intuitively spice them may seem quite good to him, if he has condiments to tailor them to his taste.

I would also commend sitting down together and watching some Hot Thai Kitchen together so you can get him to explain more about how to please him in the kitchen ... feeding 'em and laying 'em are about communication, at the risk of being inappropriate.

I've only ever used chipotles that come in a can in a spicy adobo sauce. They come whole and you just chop them up and add them to your recipe with however much sauce you want from the can. The sauce stains things so chop them on a paper plate or something. The can looks like this but it shouldn't be nearly that expensive.

I've never used dried chipotles or chipotles stored in vinegar. I have used various dried peppers in chili though, especially ancho.

If using canned chipotles, and you only need a couple from the can, just take the rest out of the can and freeze them in ice cube trays, then store them in a zip lock bag. That works for various herbs as well.

In the US, there is a chain restaurant called Chipotle, and they serve burritos. I think people might be trying to tell you how to replicate their chicken since you're capitalizing chipotle.

u/glemnar · 9 pointsr/AskCulinary

What you’re looking for is Golden Curry. You can find it or an equivalent at roughly every Asian market on the planet, or online. Use half a box if cooking for 1-2, whole box for 4. I always caramelize onions before and add them in as well, and you can always add potatoes / carrot etc. It’s ridiculously thick after cooked down for 15 minutes or so even without potato (which add more starchy thickness).

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0011UGYLM/

Make sure you stir frequently / watch it while cooking to avoid developing thick curry film (though it stirs right back in). Preboil potatoes (and probably carrots as well to an extent) if you want them in the mix

u/thegroundbelowme · 8 pointsr/StardewValley

Pepper jelly is amazing on crackers with cream cheese. It sounds crazy, I know, but everyone I’ve introduced to it has been surprised at how good it is. It’s usually not made with particularly spicy peppers, btw. It’s about as hot as mae ploy sweet chili sauce.

u/sean_incali · 8 pointsr/Cooking

this is what most chinese places use

https://www.amazon.com/Lee-Kum-Kee-Hoisin-Sauce/dp/B0001DMTPU

it's possible the place you went to use their own sauce, but if it's just a normal chinese place, then that's what they use. if it taste different then it's probably other ingredients in the mushu pork itself.

To keep on this, replace the soy sauce with coconut aminos. It's a little sweeter, but it's pretty close while still maintaining the savory addition of soy sauce and an added plus: no tyramine.

Thai red curry:

  1. Paste (http://www.amazon.com/4oz-Green-Yellow-Curry-Pastes/dp/B000QU3JM0/ref=sr_1_3?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1410385019&sr=1-3&keywords=thai+red+curry+paste)
  2. Coconut milk.
  3. Chicken (or shrimp and muscles)
  4. Fresh basil.
  5. Grape tomatoes
  6. Pineapple (fresh cubed).
  7. Sliced carrots.

    On low heat with a little oild, mix the curry with enough water to dissolve it. Slowly add coconut milk and water to bring it to fat content, taste, and consistency. Set the chicken on top, but don't mix (I don't know why, but this is what my mother-in-law does). Let it cook slowly and add water or coconut milk to preference after the chicken is cooked. Turn it off, put a lid on, and let it sit for a few hours.

    Before serving, bring to a slow boil. Drop the fruits and vegetables in and kill the heat. Serve it with rice.

    EDIT: Add sliced jalapenos for more spice, but add them a little earlier than the vegetables/fruit.

    BIG OH F**K EDIT: You need fish sauce if the curry isn't already salty. Get some and and salt to taste. If the curry is already salty, then add just a little to bind the flavors shortly after adding the meat.
u/Wakagoshi · 7 pointsr/GifRecipes

There is nothing wrong with using a good pre made curry paste. Maesri is a good brand with authentic Thai ingredients. You can buy it on Amazon if you can't find it locally. Beware, it is pretty hot.

Best butter chicken recipe I have, that gets me closest to restaurant is the Taste of India Butter Chicken Paste... I usually add a can of coconut cream and a 1/3 cup of water to it.

u/Cpt_Mango · 7 pointsr/MealPrepSunday

I've been lurking on this sub for a while. I bet you guys would love Japanese curry. Japanese curry is dead easy, and delicious. Just boil some meat and veg (carrots, celery, potatoes, apples for me) and add a block of S&B curry roux. I'd go for the hot, which isn't hot at all. (BTW that price is steep) Bulk it out with rice. It's great.

u/team_pancakes · 7 pointsr/vegan

the bloating is likely from all of the sodium. not sure what's in the veggie broth, but most broths are very high sodium, and miso has a ton of sodium. Most asian style sauces (like soy sauce) do. If you want a similar sauce for veggies that's lower sodium, check out coconut aminos. Their garlic sauce is even lower sodium and better IMO. it's garlicky and a little spicy.

u/pippx · 6 pointsr/GifRecipes

Step up your game.

There is a serious ingredient lacking from this technique: the smokiness of a camp fire.

When I do this, I like to make my own marshmallow frosting. There are a few different ways to do this, with or without actual marshmallows. My favorite is just this method from Martha Stewart. One additional ingredient is needed though -- a dash of Liquid Smoke.

I promise that if you make your own marshmallow, smoke it up, then torch your cupcakes after you've frosted them, you'll actually feel like you're eating a s'mores.

u/CircleJerkAmbassador · 6 pointsr/SRSFoodies

Delicious curry.

2 cans of coconut milk.

1 can of curry paste. I use either Thai Kitchen curry paste or Maesri Thai curry paste

3 frozen chicken breasts (or mushrooms if you're vegan)

3 potatoes cut into cubes

1 onion

Frozen peas

White rice or brown rice if you're not a shitlord or doing the low carb thing.

cut up onion, potatoes and chicken.

Onion first in large pot with a little bit of oil.

Then cook chicken in with the onion once it's almost done.

Once the chicken is cooked all the way add your potatoes, 1 can of coconut milk and the can/jar of curry paste. Use your empty coconut milk can and add about half a can of water to the mix. Mix it all up nice and tidy and bring to a boil. Put it down to a simmer and cook for about a half hour. Then add the coconut milk and continue to simmer for another 20 min or until the potatoes are nice and soft. Add a cup or 2 of frozen peas about 10 min before it's done.

Make your rice when you add the second can of coconut milk.

Either get a rice cooker or you can do it my favorite way.

Put as much rice as you'd like in a pot with a cover. I do like a cup or 2. Add enough water so that it is over the rice a half inch. Mix the rice and water up and then set to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, put a cover on it and turn it down to super low heat. Let it sit and cook for 20 min. Don't open the cover, don't stir it, don't even look at it to be sure. It' works every time.

Add the curry on top of rice and enjoy. :D

Make butter chicken at home! I have this coming to me every few months through Amazon subscription! http://www.amazon.com/Kitchens-India-Butter-Chicken-3-5-Ounce/dp/B000V17MLS

u/punkinale · 6 pointsr/IndianFood

Trust me. Buy this: https://www.amazon.com/Kitchens-India-Butter-Chicken-3-5-Ounce/dp/B000V17MLS/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1487172075&sr=8-1&keywords=kitchens+of+india+butter+chicken

  1. Add oil to a pan (1 or 1.5 tbps)
  2. Add chopped onions, garlic, and a bit of ginger
  3. Reduce onions until transulucent
  4. Add tomatoes and allow to cook
  5. Add a packet of this Kitchens of India paste and mix well
  6. Add chicken and 1/2 cup of water and allow the chicken to cook on low heat
  7. Add more water (you can use cream or milk) until the gravy is as thin as you like

    Trust me... I've been trying to make curries at home for the last 10 years. I've tried many recipes, from scratch fresh ground spices, to boxed spices, and even other pastes. This brand has become a staple for me now. I can whip up a dish in 30 minutes and it's better than a lot of restaurants around me. My favorite paste they sell is the chicken curry, tastes like an authentic dhaba style curry you can get in India.

    ps) I have fond memories of helping my dad make "chicken" (usually this meant desi style curry) growing up and it wasn't until I became older that I appriciated how much I enjoyed that.

u/DrClem · 6 pointsr/AskCulinary

Curry would be a good bet. Pick your asian style (Chinese curry, japanese curry, indian curry, thai curry, etc). Curry lasts a while and you don't have the problem of the food getting soggy with sauce since it's saucy to begin with. Get fried tofu instead of meat for protein to keep cost low. For a simple, easy, quick batch of curry, look for this at your local grocer: http://www.amazon.com/Golden-Curry-Sauce-Mix-8-4-Ounce/dp/B0011UGYLM/

Amazon's price seems to be very high.

Gochujang is a Korean fermented chilli paste. TBH its pretty essential to the dish I would say, as it has an unique flavour. You can get it in most Asian/Oriental makets. This is the one that I buy https://www.amazon.com/Chung-Jung-One-Gochujang-500g/dp/B013HB0CC4

I cannot recommend this enough. It is extremely cheap, easy, and delicious. All you have to do is mix this curry paste with coconut milk and bring it to a boil. Then add a cup and a half of stock (chicken, vegetable, whatever).

Then you add whatever you want to it: beef, chicken, fried tofu, peppers, onions, bamboo shoots... you get the idea. Bring it to a light boil for a while, until everything seems to be cooked. Serve over rice

u/AmadeusZull · 5 pointsr/IAmA

On amazon they occasionally have 40-50% off "Kitchen of India" seasoning. They are AWESOME!! I recommend the butter chicken curry and chicken curry seasoning. keep checking slickdeals.net for the next sale. (usually just cook boneless chicken breast cubed up and after browning the chicken add in the seasoning and water and let it simmer. DAMN good over rice) http://www.amazon.com/Kitchens-India-Butter-Chicken-3-5-Ounce/dp/B000V17MLS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=grocery&qid=1268424032&sr=8-1

u/bc2zb · 5 pointsr/AskCulinary

It's wicked expensive but coconut aminos is the same thing but single sourced. It tastes almost identical to soy sauce.

u/EntropyFighter · 5 pointsr/Wings

Sauce recipe was adapted from here.

Recipe:

  • 1 package of Bell & Evans air chilled chicken wings (12 wings around $6). Coated in cornstarch.
  • Fry Daddy with enough fresh oil to fry in.

    Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup gochujang (link for the unfamiliar, costs about half as much at your local Asian market)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp minced ginger (I went heavy with it and used 1 tbsp and it wasn't overly gingerly)
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp rice wine or water
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp red chili pepper flake

    Bring to a boil and cook for five minutes over a reduced heat.

    Cook the sauce first. I used a ginger grater and a garlic press so if you do it differently, your mileage may vary.

    Cook half the wings in a Fry Daddy or other vessel with 375F hot oil for 6 minutes. Remove to a wire rack. Wait 3 minutes for the oil to heat back up and cook the remaining half dozen. Repeat. Each batch of wings should have spent 12 minutes in hot oil. Once finished, toss with sauce.

You can make your own kimchi. I know that typically requires quite a bit of advance planning, but there are, for example, quick kimchi recipes, and while they feature one major exotic ingredient -- Korean chile pepper flakes, better known as gochugaru -- you can order the stuff off Amazon. And if you don't want to make your own kimchi, substitute the kimchi juice for gochujang, which can also be purchased from Amazon, or, just as likely, you can find gochujang in a lot of grocery stores now (at least where I live, I haven't canvassed the country).

I cook everything from French food to American to African stuff. You'd be amazed what you can substitute, and how you rarely have to go to specialty stores for what you need. I have the benefit of an East Asian supermarket near me, but to be honest, nearly everything I've found there, I have later found in other grocery stores. The only exceptions have been the truly, truly obscure stuff (ever had a recipe call for a jar of tiny, pickled shrimp?), and I typically don't make those recipes again.

I do understand the frustration -- despite how much I love to cook, I hate shopping -- but there are always options, and usually they aren't very difficult ones.

u/redditrandomness · 4 pointsr/keto

I order my groceries through FreshDirect so technically I get 90% of my stuff online :).

That being said...the stuff I get outside of that site are:

  1. Japanese Mayo to make the spicy mayo that you get at sushi restaurants (just mix in Siracha).

  2. Emergen-C Electro Mix for my electrolytes kick.

  3. Erythritol cause....sugar.

  4. Stevia for a different sweetener used in mostly drinks/liquids where it's more difficult to dissolve the Erythritol.

  5. [Liquid Smoke] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0005Z8NCM/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

  6. BACON JERKY!

  7. Maple flavor

  8. Awesome awesome peanut butter

  9. Kerrygold unsalted butter. My grocery store doesn't carry it :(

  10. Vitamins from various places...Vitamin D-3, Magnesium, Daily Multi-vitamin, Cod Fish Oil, etc.

u/CelineHagbard · 4 pointsr/Cooking

You might consider this cheating, but for curry I usually just use Mae Ploy curry paste (I like the Massaman and Panang, but their all good.) These are Thai curry pastes, so a little bit different than Indian curries, but the same basic principle. You can find these at most decent Asian grocery stores and even at some larger regular grocery stores, and failing that, Amazon. There's probably some good Indian curry pastes out there, too; I just haven't tried them yet.

Even if you plan on making your own curry at some point, trying it first with a premade paste is likely going to help you succeed right from the start, and I think it's cheaper than finding some of the spices you'll want (some of the ingredients can be hard to find). It will help you understand what it's supposed to taste like, how the cooking process will work, and you can always add certain spices or extra heat to customize it (I sometimes throw a few cinnamon sticks in while it simmers.) Most recipes I've seen start by making a paste anyway. I always add extra chili pepper to kick up the heat, but some people will find these pastes a little too spicy for their liking.

[Just to clarify, this is not the same as those simmer sauces that come in glass jars. Those are usually about $4 bucks or so, and only make enough for about 3 or 4 servings. This paste comes in a plastic tub for about $6, and usually makes about 7 or 8 meals for me, with about 3 or 4 servings each. If you plan on making your own from scratch one day, this will be pretty much the same as the second half of that process. For the Mae Ploy, you usually need a can of coconut milk, but other than that, just the meat and veggies you want, plus any spices you want to add to change up the flavor a bit. I often drizzle with fresh lime juice and top with fresh cilantro. Chopped peanuts or cashews can also add a bit of flavor and texture.]

It has 1g carbohydrate per tsp. Just account for it in macros.

Try sambal oelek if you have not. its low enough to be rounded to zero carbs (admittedly that could be a very tiny difference) and is incredibly delicious.

  • 3 lbs frozen chicken breasts
  • 2 lbs frozen vegetables (e.g., harvest hodgepodge)
  • 3.5 oz curry paste (e.g., butter chicken curry paste)
  • about 1 cup water

    Add the chicken and vegetables to the pot, use the water to loosely dissolve the curry paste, and then pour the soupy paste-and-water mixture into the pot.

    It comes out like a very, very chunky sauce which is best served over rice or pasta.

I like keeping this on hand for a super easy weeknight dinner plus lunches. I'll add chicken thighs, chick peas, onions, and spinach and season to taste.

Another one I like is this chicken and biscuits by tasty https://tasty.co/recipe/chicken-biscuits-bake. Delicious during the winter but not the healthiest meal. I just bake the biscuits while making it instead of they're way.

I'll keep a bag of frozen stir fry veggies and chicken thighs for chicken stir fry and rice or this stewed chicken https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/83421/trinidad-stewed-chicken/. Drumsticks are great in this recipe too and are cheaper too. Adding a carribean hot sauce/spices to this one helps a ton too over just red pepper flakes.

u/Nabrolean_Bronaparte · 4 pointsr/fitmeals

I'm also a pretty big fan of chicken and broccoli casseroles. Both are pretty easy to make.

u/MossyMadchen · 4 pointsr/Cooking

I agree that this seems like a bad idea, and depending on your guest it could be taken as disrespectful. If you are set on doing it, definitely try to practice your meal before she arrives so you don't have a disaster on your hands!

I recommend making boxed curry. It's a good, filling winter meal and you can customize it with the protein and veggies of your choice. I usually go for Golden Curry, you can order it online or find it in the "ethnic" aisle of a regular supermarket, since you said there are no Asian markets near you. In addition to being tasty and easy to put together, it's a casual meal so it will be lower-pressure.

u/eats_food · 4 pointsr/xxketo

I also have a lot of food allergies.

Keeping meals simple has helped me a lot (not just from an allergy perspective, but diet adherence, time management, etc.) Most of our meals we build around one main protein and 1-2 vegetable side dishes.

I've found searching paleo and whole30 type recipe sites and books helpful for inspiration. While some recipes will be too high carb (or need to be modified) it gives you a lot of basics to start with.

For my carb eating husband I might withhold some of the fat from my meal and add it only to my portion, or make cauliflower rice for me and regular rice for him, or serve my sauce over vegetables instead of noodles. If you keep the carb mostly separate (rice, pasta, potatoes, starchy veg) it is easy to make it work for everyone.

Our primary vegetable side dish rotation is broccoli, green beans, leafy greens (spinach especially), asparagus, cauliflower, snap peas, squash, mushrooms, bell peppers, and brussels sprouts. I often buy 2 or 3 large bags of vegetables per week and mix and match into our meals, then do something different the next week.

For the meats I do a lot of chicken (roasted, fried, stir fried, curried, grilled,) pork (pulled with home made BBQ sauce, roasted, grilled, fried), burgers (beef, turkey, or beyond beef soy/gluten free pea protein), steaks, beef stew (with lots of mushroom and smaller amounts of lower carb starchy veg such as rutabaga), sausages (pork, beef, turkey, or chicken), ground beef (taco salad, stuffed peppers), and sometimes fish (usually just tuna or white fish tacos.)

Some substitutions you might make (but I'm not a doctor so check with yours):

u/snappy_shark · 4 pointsr/Paleo

Just wanted to chime in and say that coconut aminos are a paleo-friendly (and delicious!) substitute for soy sauce. This recipe looks yummy!

u/TexasWhiskey_ · 4 pointsr/sousvide

145 for 2 hours, generally lazy and just throw some chupicabra seasoning in the bag.

If we're eating it right there, then simple pan fry. Otherwise we use them for salad and so I don't even bother with the frying as it'll just be chopped up.

Also, I started toying around with throwing in mae ploy curry paste in the bag, with no other ingredients. Tried it once so far, and is super easy mock-thai curry. Not quite there yet, still working on experiments but it's been great.

Just don't add a lot of juice/sauce to it when it cooks. Sauces added in SV just leach flavor out of the meat, it doesn't imbibe them into it. You make meat flavor sauce, not sauce flavored meat.

SO EASY:

Curry paste

  • You can buy this on Amazon
  • https://www.amazon.com/Mae-Ploy-Thai-Curry-Paste/dp/B0091UW4QS/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1478982408&sr=8-1&keywords=thai+curry+paste
  • Note that all but the Yellow curry paste from Mae Ploy contain shrimp paste, so keep that in mind.


    Coconut Cream
  • Buy something like this at the store; prices are absurd on Amazon, so you'll want to shop local. You can usually find something for $1-$2 per can:
  • https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/bc/60/0b/bc600b27f226d6e9371824f790ceea2e.jpg
  • You want coconut cream/milk in a CAN. Not watery, watered down 'coconut milk' packaged in a box for drinking, this won't work. The can will be filled with a little bit of coconut water and the rest will be a solid cream that melts when you cook it.


    Instructions

    All you have to do is put a little oil in a saucepan and turn the heat to medium. Put 1-2 tablespoon of the curry paste in the oil and let it simmer for a bit, making sure that you play around with it and ensure that it's getting heated thoroughly. After 5 or so minutes of this (the curry paste begins to get ever so slightly golden brown), lower the heat to a simmer and dump the jar of coconut cream into the saucepan. As the cream melts, stir the mixture well. Let simmer for 5 - 10 more minutes.


    Done


    You now have curry that tastes exactly like it does in a restaurant (most restaurants actually use curry pastes.)

    Combine with your protein of choice, some veggies, pour over rice, whatever you want.

Fun fact. A sriracha type sauce with seeds in it is actually called a Sambal. EG

The closest thing you can get to an authentic Sriracha in the western world is Kosol-Ampa. Most sriracha sauces are very smooth indeed.

u/phondamental · 3 pointsr/food

Yes. I see most people really like the popular Rooster Brand. However, I always try to get people to try pho with the original Thai sriracha which I call the Shark Brand.

The Shark brand is not as spicy, in fact, hardly spicy at all. But it's way less overpowering than the Rooster brand (especially when you add too much). It's a tangier and sweeter sauce which I think complements the broth better. But for anything other than pho, my goto is the Rooster brand.

What I'll do with regular coconut milk is let the can sit the same way for a few hours so that I know all the cream rises to the top.

I spoon just the cream off the top into my wok and heat that till it starts to thicken. Then I add my paste, cook that till it starts to smell, then add my veg and finally the rest of the coconut milk can.

The paste you use makes a difference too. I've tried a few, and always come back to Maesri

Going home in a bit to make my first attempt at thai green curry. note that i'll be using a paste.

My current plan is dice and cook chicken, remove, dice and cook eggplant, onion, carrot, bell pepper, wait for them to soften, then add coconut milk (14oz?) and a half a jar of paste and then simmer for 10 mins or so then add the chicken back along with soft veggies like maybe snow peas? Then simmer 10 more mins and top with basil and bean sprouts.

I've never made a thai dish before so let me know if you got a killer veggie combo, I'm just sort of making it up

Butter chicken!
I don't make it from scratch but I use this packet of seasoning:
https://www.amazon.com/Kitchens-India-Butter-Chicken-3-5-Ounce/dp/B000V17MLS
I also add about a cup of red lentils and add extra water for additional protein and fiber. You can skip the butter and cream if you want... or maybe just add a splash of half and half... I leave out the butter and don't even notice. Sometimes when cauliflower is in season i'll use that instead of chicken. I love this stuff!

Sandwiches... thinly sliced or pounded down with a mallet and cooked in a skillet. Add a favorite bread, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, etc. I hit up the salad bar at the store for toppings sometimes too.

There probably are versions of it in the "Asian" food section of your regular grocery store. By the soy sauce/teriyaki sauce/baby corn etc section. My version of Kroger has this which is kind of the Hamburger Helper brand of curry blocks but it's still pretty tasty.

We break the blocks and mix them with hamburger when we do tinfoil dinners when we're camping and stuff.

If you've got an Asian grocery store near you they will most likely carry hondashi, http://www.amazon.com/Ajinomoto-Dashi-Soup-Stock-5-28/dp/B0002YB40O and may have what you need to make dashi, kombu, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kombu, and katsuobushi, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katsuobushi (it will come pre-shredded in a bag). Dashi is one of the easiest stocks to make, only takes about 30 minutes or so, http://japanesefood.about.com/od/soup/r/konbukatsudashi.htm

The Japanese do have teir own version of curry and it is delicious. I think they got it from the British so it's a re-interpretation of a re-interpretation. It's one of the most popular foods in Japan. It's usually made with pork, but if you're going to make it with katsu, make it vegetarian. You can buy a box of curry roux at most Asian grocery stores, http://www.amazon.com/Golden-Curry-Sauce-8-4oz-pack/dp/B0011UGYLM to use. Basically, take a pot, add a bit of oil (for Asian food I like peanut), cook some white onions in the oil, I also add some sliced garlic which is not traditional, add some potato and carrots (you may want to cook them half way first), add water, simmer for about 20 minutes, add the curry roux, stir it in the simmering water and it will break down, and then continue for 5 minutes or so. The curry roux will have instructions on the back of the box, it's super easy. This is the basic version but there are all sorts of variation, some put in grated apple or even coffee in it! It's my favorite thing to eat with katsu.

Most Japanese people use curry cubes S&B and Vermont curry are the two main brands. I prefer S&B, but both are good. "Hot" is not hot or spicy at all, Japanese food is generally not spicy and their idea of spicy is a lot less than ours.

The easiest way is to buy the roux blocks like this: https://www.amazon.com/Golden-Curry-Sauce-Mix-8-4-Ounce/dp/B0011UGYLM

The other way is to make the roux yourself and use curry powder.

Nobody makes it 100% from scratch, at minimum they use the powder and thicken with roux or cornstarch.

u/Aperture_Kubi · 3 pointsr/EatCheapAndHealthy

Curry?

Don't need to watch a rice cooker.

Cooking takes as long as it takes to cook some choice meat and veggies in a large pan, plus five or so minutes of simmering in a break off of this plus some milk to make a sauce. Pepper and hot sauce to taste.

For meats I've done fish balls, pork, chicken, or sausage.

Veggies I've done combinations of spinach, baby bok choy, cabbage, bell pepper, onion, carrot. Traditionally I think potato works too but I have a thing of rice and potato in the same meal, though I could make an exception for sweet potato.

I'm sure someone can chime in for a healthier way to do curry sauce.

u/daedalus96 · 3 pointsr/loseit

I know this isn't too much different, but making a curry with Chicken (use boneless skinless thighs, breasts are relatively flavorless), cauliflower, and carrots. I usually use 2lbs meat and 1lb of each vegetable. Then either 2 of the 3.5oz packages or one of the 8.4oz packages of Golden Curry sauce mix. This made 8 meals split evenly across 28oz meal prep containers, so easy to store and refrigerate/freeze.

I just make some rice and pour the curry over, microwave for about a minute. It's tasty, good mix of flavor and vegetables, and probably about 500-600 calories total.

For reference

u/ukatama · 3 pointsr/JapaneseFood

Not the exact same thing, but an approxamation (or a generic Japanese-style curry) is fairly easy to do.

Just get yourself one of these.

Make a sofrito with garlic, onions, celery, carrots. Make sure you caramelize the veg. Add meat of choice, brown. Add water (or better yet some stock), and the curry roux. Stir to dissolve, and cook for 30 minutes. Add a couple teaspoons of soy sauce at the end, and you're golden.

The topping is easy too. Get a pork chop (or any other flat piece of meat). Season, coat with flour, dip in egg, coat with panko or breadcrumbs. Deep fry, and serve with the curry.

Edit : Looking around on some Japanese websites, it seems Cocoichi has this trick of adding a bit of peanut butter (like a couple of teaspoons per serving) to give the roux an added depth.

They’re talking about this. It’s a soy/gluten free replacement for soy sauce, essentially.

u/therealcersei · 3 pointsr/Cooking

I do it in stages for a stir-fry. First the ginger-garlic paste, plus lemongrass if it's Thai or Vietnamese, plus the vegetables. I may prepare them differently depending on whether I'm doing a "ding" dish, but in any case, veggies first. then I remove them from the wok. Then the meat, cooking fast and hot. If I'm doing a curry, I throw in a tablespoon or two of the curry paste with the meat, and cook for a minute or two.

Then combine the meat and veg, add the sauce (or coconut milk, if you're doing a curry), toss a few times, and done, unless I have to bubble it for a few minutes to reduce/thicken or to concentrate the flavors of a curry (adding cashews/unsalted peanuts plus chiffonade of coriander/cilantro at the end, if it's a curry).

I don't ever add water. Teriyaki is only for marinade for me

Was this the brand you had? I ask b/c I was just in the asian grocery store the other day and almost picked it up. Decided to take a pass on it as I still have a fair amount left already.

u/sallyfreakingeasy · 2 pointsr/EatCheapAndHealthy

Teriyaki sauce is just water, soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, ginger, and corn starch (for thickness, that's optional)! It may not be the most intricate of Asian dishes, but throw it on some veggies, meat, and rice and it's a tasty stir fry. I throw in some cayenne for some kick. I got 1-to-1 with the water and soy sauce, then add the other ingredients to taste. Then do like a tablespoon of corn starch, mix it with another cup of water beforehand, dump it in, mix mix mix until it has the desired texture, and you're all set.

Also, fried rice is really simple. Cook your meat in a wok or large pan, throw in your veggies and whatever spices you want (I use Mae Ploy which is available at my local Wal Mart), then add your already cooked rice and a little soy sauce and some scrambled eggs.

Might not be the healthiest of recipes, but it's a start and it's crazy cheap.

EDIT: the price zombie below is for quite a large bottle. I get the smaller ones that'll last me three or four uses (cooking for two) for about $2 or so.

u/MonkeyPilot · 2 pointsr/food

Friday night and need to use up some leftover stuff, so I fried it! Since there were just 4 of us, we didn't need too much (especially fried food), and only made two dishes.

First, tofu fries. Couldn't be simpler: cut up some firm tofu into sticks (or cubes, if you prefer), and dredge in plain corn starch. Fry for 5-6 minutes at 375F. I have a fry-daddy, but you could easily do this in a pan too. They come out hot, crispy, and light. Great on their own or with just about any dip you like. (My wife enjoyed them "buffalo style" with blue cheese and Frank's Red Hot.

Second, pork wontons. Buy some wonton wrappers- a pack of 50 is like $2. For the stuffing I used 12oz ground pork, mixed with about 3 chopped scallions and 1 inch nub of ginger, ground. That's it! Stuff each wonton with about 1 to 1 1/2 tsp filling, seal with beaten egg, and wrap as shown. Fry for 1-2 min at 375. Again, any sauce you like (i prefer Mae Ploy! ).

Happy Frying!

I'm always surprised when I see people on here eating bland dry rubbed baked chicken breast when there are so many great marinades. I'd like to share just two or three. For each of these, I just crank the grill up real hot, take my brined chicken and throw it on after a quick ten minute marinade. 3 minutes on each side and I've got an rich, complex, and spicy chicken dinner. All of these sauces are straight from the bottle with no prep. Easy. I get them from Wegmans but I'm sure you can get this sort of stuff elsewhere.

  1. Tom tom sauce. Delicious, spicy red miso based sauce. Only adds 25kcal

  2. Thai basil sauce thinned with thai peanut sauce. For this one I make extra of the sauce and baste the chicken once on each side when grilling. Incredibly complex spicy flavor. If you love thai food, you'll love this. 75kcal.

  3. Hoisin with soy sauce.

    I should mention that if you are predisposed to high blood pressure or heart failure these might not be good options since they are very salty. For the rest of you, enjoy!

Former 2.5 year chipotle employee here. I would have given you what I know even if i was still employed there, because who gives a shit really.

Anyway, I'm afraid I can't be super helpful because the main component is the dry grind adobo marinade, which comes premade in sealed bags. IIRC, the ingredients are chipotle peppers, rice bran oil, salt, pepper, garlic, cumin, and a few other spices. The chicken is prepped by mixing one 12(?)oz bag per 40 lbs of chicken. The adobo is mixed with a tablespoon of honey and a cup of rice bran or soy oil. mixed and coated thoroughly and marinated overnight before it's used. If you don't leave it to marinate for at least 6 hours it burns insanely quickly and tastes worse. Chicken is salted on the grill.

you're gonna have to play around with the exact measurments, but I would recommend running a can of Goya Chipotle Adobo through a food processor. Or perhaps another chipotle adobo that doesn't have tomato paste in it.

The steak marinade is basically the same thing, but more adobo, and salt is added to the marinade.

Buy an instapot pressure cooker and get some dried beans of all varieties. Pair the beans with rice and you have a complete protein! I am in romantic love with my pressure cooker. I'd recommend making chili in it right off the bat. (You'll need diced tomatoes, beans, onion, chipotle peppers and chili or taco seasoning. Split pea soup is also stupid easy and very affordable.


You can also get a seed sprouter and the seeds for it for some produce in your diet. I also like sprouting mungbeans. And it's getting a little late in the season to plant I think but consider starting a tomato plant.

u/tomdarch · 2 pointsr/food

Also, using smoked paprika or ground chipotle powder (for more heat) brings fantastic smokeyness to just about anything. Opening a jar of chipotle powder from The Spice House and smelling gets you 85% of a great, smokey barbecue sauce's flavor! (Also, once you've got chipotle powder around, it finds its way into all sorts of other stuff - like mayo as a smokey dip for sweet potato fries... which would be a perfect side for that pulled pork sandwich!)

But if you're making a good amount of sauce, using a few canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (hopefully available in your local grocery store) gets you a little heat and a lot of perfect smoke!

Have you tried getting pastes for the sauces? I really enjoy this one. I normally get it at Wegman's, but it looks like this is a good price from also. It tastes similar to the butter chicken I get at my favorite Indian restaurant if I add a little extra butter or cream.

I know it's not exactly Indian cooking when you use a paste, but it's a way to start an fill your cravings for a littler cheaper. You could try this on a day when you're working on your naan skills.

u/bluelovexD · 2 pointsr/EatCheapAndHealthy

I get this spice mix from Amazon: Kitchens of India Paste for Butter Chicken Curry, 3.5-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000V17MLS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_EujDAbMZCPKT0
I like it a lot, I also add potatoes and cauliflower sometimes for variety and it turned out well.

If I'm having a bad craving for biryani I'll get the Saffron Road biryani from the frozen food aisle. I have seen it at Target, at some organic food stores etc. They nailed the smell, the spice is on the lighter side but it will satiate my craving.

u/neogohan · 2 pointsr/ketorecipes

Just a warning: The Kitchens of India stuff recently changed their recipe (and the packaging is now blue). It's now a good bit higher in carbs -- from 3g/serving to 7g/serving.

I made a Thai red curry sausage once with ground pork and rice, it tasted great and had a really nice spice to it. Might want to try Kitchens of India butter chicken, it's more of a paste than a pre-made sauce, lets you control the liquid in the recipe. I intend to make another curry sausage soon, going to do some protein with yellow curry with coconut cream and rice.

u/roulan · 2 pointsr/BabyBumps

If you want to try Japanese curry, there's lots of premade curry cubes you can buy and thin out with water that are actually really good!

This one (https://www.amazon.com/Golden-Curry-Sauce-Mix-8-4-Ounce/dp/B0011UGYLM) is supposed to be good. I have different ones here in Taiwan. Just check the heat and match it to your preference.

Don't see a lot of Asian representation yet, so here are some of my go-to lazy dinners. Basically the "Hamburger Helper" type recipes for our Asian household.

Char Siu Chicken Wings:

1 packet Char Siu Seasoning Mix

1-2 lb chicken wings

Dump the mix on the wings and mix and make sure to NOT add water. Mix and cover the wings thoroughly. Leave it in the fridge for at least 4 hours. Bake at 400 for 45min on a rack. Broil for extra crispiness at the end if you like.

Bonus photo of the finished product, I like mine broiled a bit extra for that char flavor. Side of roasted brussel sprouts + rice.

---

Lazy Korean BBQ Chicken

1-2 lb boneless chicken thigh meat cut to 2-3 inch strips

Jar of Korean Chicken & Pork Marinade

Essentially the same instructions as the wings. Dump the marinade on the thigh meat and leave in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours. Bake at 400 for 45min on a rack, finish with a broil if you like. Great with a side of kim chi & rice.

---

Slow Cooker Japanese Curry

1 box Japanese Curry Sauce Mix

2-3 lb meat of choice (chunked for stew)

2 yellow onions, chopped

2 carrots, chopped

2 potatoes, large chunks

~6 cups water (however much you need to just cover the ingredients in the slow cooker)

Sear the meat first if you like. Dump all the ingredients into the slow cooker. Cook on low for about 8 hours. Serve over rice. Note that you could also prepare the curry sauce mix on the stovetop as per the instructions on the back of the box. I just normally go for the slow cooker method when I want to set it and forget it.

u/MangoCandy · 2 pointsr/PokemonSwordAndShield

Japanese curry is INCREDIBLY easy to make. You really can’t mess it up. You can buy brands like Golden Curry at most major retailers. Just a fair warning the spice levels are very mild across the board on most Japanese curry so if you like spicy food be prepared to add your own spices. All you are doing though is chopping some veggies and meat if you like and throwing it in a pot, done and done. Delicious meal that you can pack into the fridge and have for a couple nights :)

u/puppieeesss · 2 pointsr/EatCheapAndHealthy

If you can get your hands on Japanese curry cubes (Amazon sells it too but at a high markup https://www.amazon.com/Golden-Curry-Sauce-Mix-8-4-Ounce/dp/B0011UGYLM ,) this particular type of curry goes really nicely with apples!

Saute onions with butter in a pot, add potato and carrot chunks (optional) along with cubed apples, then add water and let it simmer for half an hour before adding the curry. Let it cool for another 10 minutes, then eat with rice and broccoli!

u/refrained · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

I don't like any curry made with coconut milk or whatnot... but I absolutely ADORE Japanese curry. It's more like a spicy ginger/garlic stew. We buy these at our local Asian mart. Cook up some meat, add your choice of veggies (I like onions, carrots, and peppers, sometimes some mushrooms or broccoli depending on the day), cook that until it's all tender, then drop in the curry roux and let it melt through. It's warm and delicious. We serve it over some steamed rice and call it good. My absolute favourite meal in the world!

u/mmmmmmmmichaelscott · 2 pointsr/tonightsdinner

u/sfchin98 · 2 pointsr/recipes

I like the America's Test Kitchen gumbo recipe. You can also add a bag of frozen cut okra near the end of cooking. This freezes quite well too.

Lidia's Italian Wedding Soup. Don't actually use 7 quarts of cold water, you'll overflow the pot. Just fill with water until your pot is 3/4 full. You can always add more later if you need. You also don't need to poach the meatballs separately, works fine just dropping them straight into the soup (probably adds more flavor to the soup itself). I actually use italian chicken sausage instead of pork, and I also add about 4 oz of tiny pasta (pastina or stelline) at the end. I grew up eating Progresso Chickarina soup, so chicken meatballs and pasta in the soup.

If you want a braised meat sort of thing, I like braised short ribs served over polenta with some broccoli rabe slowly sauteed with garlic and olive oil. Or either of the Taiwanese national dishes, beef noodle soup and braised pork belly (lu rou fan).

Or if you're feeling lazy, some standard Japanese curry from a box. I make it with onions, carrots, potatoes, and chicken and serve with rice. This is one that gets better the longer it sits. Some people just let it on the stove for a few days and reheat as needed (the food safety police do not endorse this practice).

u/Truhls · 2 pointsr/slowcooking

My two favorites are, chicken thighs/breasts + cream of mushroom soup + packet of onion dip mix. Eat it over rice ( it makes a fantastic gravy ) with veggies as a side.

Chicken breasts/de boned chicken thighs + 1 can coconut milk + good drizzle of honey, + 3-4 big spoonfuls of peanut butter + 1-2 cubes of curry powder ( i like this brand, green or gold work nicely ) + a few tbsp of thai red or green curry paste ( i usually use green ). Usually had 1-2 yellow/orange peppers as well. Such a good an easy curry to make.

u/rkt88edmo · 2 pointsr/food

I'd just order this http://amzn.com/B0011ULFVG <<--S&B medium hot golden curry and whip up a batch to test. Want to make it easy? Grab a pound of ground beef, and a poundish of frozen veggies (or just add carrot potato and onion) and cook it up per the directions on the box.

Generally, if I order "curry" at a "Japanese" or "asian" food place and it just tastes like it was made with the yellow powder from a red topped spice jar then it SUCKS. That sounds like what you have encountered. That in no way is representative of Japanese curry. I really enjoy indian and thai curries as well, but japanese curry will always be my favorite.

No worry, BEEF CURRY!

u/_mat_ · 2 pointsr/backpacking

Semi-important variables here are where you're going and what you'll have access to. For now, I'll assume nothing but water.

I camped around Iceland for 10 days in August with my gf, including a 4-day thru-hike out of the interior, with access to nothing but water.

Cooking gear:

  • REI Pocket Rocket

  • Cooking fuel

  • Small, titanium cooking pot

  • 4, 32oz. Nalgenes


    What we had for the (10-day) trip/hike:

  • 10 cups of quick oats

  • 10 cups of minute rice

  • 5 cups of dehydrated black beans (for cooking)

  • 1 bag of Soy Curls

  • 1 bottle of Sriracha

  • 1 loaf of sliced bread

  • 1 jar of peanut butter

  • big Ziploc of dehydrated edamame (for snacking)

  • 20 Clif Builder's Bars (20g protein each)

  • various spices in small Ziplocs (stevia, cinnamon, etc) - the Sriracha replaced a lot of the ones we brought on our previous trip

  • tea bags


    Pretty self-explanatory, but during hiking days we would generally eat oats for breakfast, split a couple of sandwiches + Clif bars throughout the day and have a dinner of rice, beans and soy curls.

    I've done 1.5-2 week camping trips 3x over the last year and minute rice has been the staple. This recent loadout worked really well. You could probably also carry some fresh fruit for the first couple of days or just go the dehydrated route.

I believe that is Sambal Oelek and I'm pretty sure it's just crushed chilis with a little vinegar and salt. I dont have an exact recipe but you can buy it on amazon for pretty cheap.

Sambal Oelek!!!

(you can get some from the same company that makes Sriracha in the US)

u/NinjaSupplyCompany · 2 pointsr/Cooking

OK, here ya go. (note this might suck, I just made this up in my head)

Acorn squash with African style nut soup and ground venison

Buy enough medium sized acorn squash so each person has one. Carefully cut off the top (save!) and scoop out the seeds. Cut a tiny bit of the base so the squash stands up but be careful not to slice into the open part!! put the top back on, arrange on a sheet pan and roast for about 45 min.

In a stock pot warm some good chicken stock. Add some natural peanut butter and equal amounts tahini paste. Stir until blended. Add a spoonful of sambal oelek to taste.

In a pan, fry ground venison up then drain off any extra fat. Add some chopped pistachios and a little fresh flat leaf parsley.

To serve put each squash in a shallow bowl, fill with soup then top with a spoonful of the meat. Put the top of the squash back on and serve. Tell people to scoop some of the squash off the insides of the bowl with each bite being careful not to punch through the bottom.

In addition to Soy/Teriyaki I like to add Chili/hot pepper flavors to my dishes. Walmart should carry this stuff, which has a bit of a bite to it but the chili flavor is great.

You won't be able to find this stuff at walmart, but it's good too and is available at Amazon.

I don't have a favorite brand, but don't forget Hoisin sauce!

u/NeverPostsJustLurks · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Hey! I think this is the cheapest on my list, I had other things that were cheaper but they increased in price :( I'm not even sure what I'd do with rosemary, I don't usually use it in my cooking lol.

I'm not going to lie, I think what I want the MOST on my list is this! I'm a sucker for board games, and Risk has always been a favorite of mine. I love boardgames because you actually get to interact face to face with your friends and it reminds me of a time long long ago where people spent time talking and hanging out with friends instead of playing games, watching tv, or updating facebook statuses on their phone while talking to you. I have a group of friends that gets together once a week and we either go do trivia, board games, or just hang out and I think we'd love to play this sometime.

This one is interesting because it has different rules, and the board changes between games. It's unique in the sense that decisions from previous games influence the next game and some things are permanent. From what I understand, to play it you need the same group of people each game and the board is only good for one play through as you need to either cut out or rearrange the board. Also there are some ominous envelopes that have to remain sealed until the instructions tell you to open them. I just don't know why board games are so expensive :(

OK rambling over!

Don't think I forgot that you are the spicy lover! Might I suggest adding this to your wishlist? It's super tasty and used in almost any Korean spicy recipe. Or add this one as it's only $7 more and has 6x the quantity :)

Anyway, thanks for the contest Aveline!

u/theFlyingExplitive · 2 pointsr/MealPrepSunday

It's mostly in the curry paste.

I am lazy so I break down rotisserie chicken from costco - it's already cook, so I just have to make a sauce and lightly toss, reduces cooking time.

    • So chop up bell peppers, and cook them in a pan with garlic + red pepper.
    • Then add onions (I use prechopped, can't stress how lazy I am) - they are prechopped so they are smaller than the bell peppers - so I add them in a bit later.
    • Then add cherry tomatoes when the onions are ~1-2 mins away from being done.
    • This is the part where we season (if you use rotisserie like I do, because that chicken is already seasoned - otherwise do it after the chicken is added)
    • Then add the chicken to reheat, don't cook too long once chicken is in or it will be dry.
    • Once chicken is hot, push apart a hole in the middle and put in a good portion of the paste, smoosh it and let it heat up a bit, you will smell it soon, make sure the hood is on.
    • Add cocnut milk (depending on your macros, this might be a lot, it is a lot of calories).
    • Add Chopped basil and cilantro and season one last time
    • simmer for ~1-2 mins

      I used about 1200g of chicken, 2 bell peppers, 142g of onions, 1 pack of cherubs tomatoes, 50g of the paste, 40% can of coconut milk (~ 2 servings)

      ~289 calories with ~40g of protein per serving if split 6 ways.
u/lunarlumberjack · 2 pointsr/keto

Traditional Thai food minus the rice is very keto friendly. Lots of exotic green stuff and meat salads.

Real thai cury is not all sugary. It's just paste plus coconut milk. What's with the coconut oil craze when coconut milk is sweet keto nectar?

https://www.amazon.com/Mae-Ploy-Thai-Curry-Paste/dp/B0091UW4QS

https://www.amazon.com/Thai-Kitchen-Organic-Coconut-13-66/dp/B00M8VSKW4

u/Funksultan · 2 pointsr/foodhacks

My wife and I are Thai curry fiends. I will give what tips I can, and a simple recipe.

  1. You mentioned "jar" curry paste. Most of the traditional pastes come in bags, and are in containers. Psychodelta mentions May Ploy coconut milk, which coincidentally, makes our favorite brand of paste. You can find it in any Asian market, and it will look like this. (all their flavors are great)

  2. Coconut milk. Any brand is fine by me, but there are 3 types. "Regular", "Premium" and "Coconut Cream". All are basically the same thing, with varying amounts of coconut cream/fat added to water. You're looking for that rich mouth feel of a restaurant curry, as opposed to a more traditional "thin soup", so you want the premium here. It's about twice the price, but it makes a world of difference. (the coconut cream is too thick, and usually used for dessert applications).
  3. Those combined with the meat of your choice will give you the base of your dish. Now to contemplate addons:

  • A slight sprinkle of brown sugar will increase your sweetness, and richen your color
  • Onion
  • Bamboo shoots (again, purchased at Asian grocery. Adds a nice crunch and texture
  • Spices. Garlic, cayenne, or minced thai peppers (Serrano peppers are pretty close here)
  • Baby peas. not too many, but a small handful. Again, texture/color.

    BONUS STAGE

    We made this for years, but there was still a Thai restaurant that added another flavor we just couldn't nail down. As it turns out, it was strips of kaffir lime leaves. If you are a Thai curry fanatic, this is the piece that really brings it all together. The bad news is, they are usually pretty difficult to come by, so we decided to just pick up a tree and plant it for year-around access. (we live in Texas, so we don't have to keep it indoors).

Instead of using BBQ sauce, try getting a big bottle of sweet chili sauce and making sweet chili ribs! The sauce you'll need is orange like duck sauce, but with flakes of chili in it. Mae Ploy is my favorite brand. Use it just like American BBQ sauce and let it develop a nice glaze.

I practically collect hot sauces these days, currently however I have three hot sauces of choice, Cholula (Chipotle flavor if I can find it outside of my house) is a middle ground, I hate Tabasco sauce as I can taste the vinegar taste way too much in comparison, then my go to for heat currently is Ghost Tonic has ghost pepper, and is a fairly thick sauce so it doesn't run everywhere. And then finally for something sweet that packs plenty of flavor my choice as of late is Mae Ploy, though you can technically make it yourself in your kitchen with a little know how.

Fry 50-100 g of the paste in oil and then add beef short ribs and brown.

After browning add 2 tins coconut milk and simmer for 3 hrs. Remove the bones which should have fallen off by now and reduce to a very thick mixture. With 10-20 mins more add a little, fish sauce, chili paste, and sugar, and lime juice. (very important with se Asian food to get fishy, spicy, sweet and sour balanced properly, experiment)

I do, I like the whole range of normal hot sauces. When you start getting into the really painful stuff I'm not really into it, but a drop or two of Dave's Insanity Sauce can really improve a dish of mediocre mild salsa. At that rate the jar I bought on a whim will last a few decades. Eating Thai food I'll ask for a heat level of 2-3/4 out of 3, if that makes sense. 70% of my heat additions as an ingredient or condiment come from Sambal Oelek, I'll put it in everything from eggs to salad dressing. I'll use dried Thai chili flakes for other recipes like tacos or Lentil Dal. I keep Sriracha around, but it basically only goes on leftover pizza and a bottle will last me forever. My fiancee hates it, so I never include it as an ingredient. I will use a good amount in Pho though. Unfortunately for me, Tabasco is the most commonly available hot sauce, and I have a moderate dislike of the stuff. I'll eat it when the food is so boring it needs some heat added, but I'll pick pretty much any hot sauce in existence over it.
However, unlike my father, I can some times be perfectly content to eat foods with subtle flavors. He basically writes them off as bland, and then dumps a huge pile of any available hot sauce onto it.

I see you mentioned curries in another post but they. are. SO. EASY. Seriously, I dunno what access you have to ethnic stores but this red curry paste I can find in almost any store but if I'm near an asian store I pick up this Maesi brand. My recipe is 1) Saute any vegetables and/or meat you have. Onions, carrots, zucchini, red pepper, whatever. 2) Throw in some of the curry paste and cook it for 1-2 minutes. 3) Dump in coconut milk. Seriously that's it. Maybe a pinch of sugar/fish sauce/cayenne/ginger if I feel like it. It's my go to when I need something quick and to use up any left over produce.

​

Also what about turkey? Burgers or stuffed bell peppers with turkey meat are great, or just do a half-and-half turkey meat with something like lentils for a bolognese pasta sauce.

u/the_talking_dead · 1 pointr/Cooking

If you'd like a simple starting point for thai curries, this right here is a fantastic starting point. There are also variety packs to try different ones.


Massaman Curry is one of my favorite things in the world. I typically make it with chicken, potato (sometimes sweet potato), sometimes with carrots, green peppers, or onion, always over rice. Don't forget to cook the peanuts either! :)


Next up is to grab some fish sauce, lemongrass, and ginger. I personally like Squid fish sauce. It is foul beyond belief if you give it a smell or pour it in a hot wok but it works magic. (I also add it to chili and meatloaf for umami). For the ginger and lemongrass, I won't lie, I often by those tubes of crushed stuff instead of actual lemon grass and ginger.


The Maesri pastes are a good starting point but working a little variation of the fish sauce, lemon grass, and ginger can get you a much better flavor.


For heat some sambal oelek is a pretty (this is a nice 3 pack of thai seasonings that has fish sauce and the chili paste) and maybe some ground thai chili.


Here is a recipe you can use as a starting point, I'd recommend frying the paste a minute or two then add coconut milk and letting that simmer a bit before getting into the rest of it. I personally wouldn't add peanut butter, though I make sure to cook with actual peanuts. If you have problems finding the tamarind paste, you'll be fine, though it is a good one to have.

u/lefsegirl · 1 pointr/personalfinance

I usually make at least 2 curries at a time, one vegetarian and one meat-based. My vegetarian yellow curry usually has potatoes, cauliflower (fresh or frozen), onions, garlic, garbanzo beans (dried - soaked and pre-cooked or canned), frozen peas, some golden raisins and maybe some fresh spinach simmered in coconut milk and curry paste. When you prepare a vegetarian one that is just as delicious as the meat-based one, the meat consumption goes down. (I use the green for chicken and the red for beef.) You can buy the cans of curry paste at an Asian market for about $2 USD each. Tofu also works very well in any of these curry pastes.

In my experience, these are the cheapest good foods I can get:

Sprinkle in some vegetables here and there where appropriate and you're on point. Also, make sure you check grocer specials and stock up on things you KNOW you're going to go through when they're on sale. I go through a lot of curry paste. I leave the butter out because I don't like cancer.

u/chestypocket · 1 pointr/Cooking

My husband and I have the same problem, and our go-to lazy meal is Butter Chicken. Our local Kroger sells a pre-made curry paste that we love (Kitchens of India, Butter Chicken Curry), and we eat that like most families eat spaghetti. Dice up some chicken, add whatever veggies you like, and make some rice and/or naan on the side. We also add a bit of ghost pepper because we like it really spicy, but our weak friends think it's very flavorful without no additional spices (except salt/pepper while the chicken is browning).

I also really enjoy fish as an easy, relatively healthy meal. Tilapia filets take no time to thaw in tepid water, so I just keep some in the freezer for easy, spur-of-the-moment dinners if I can't think of anything else. I season the fish with salt & pepper and either blackening spice or harissa seasoning (our local spice market sells a pre-made blend of dried spices that is my favorite thing ever). I usually nuke some frozen vegetables and make either rice or couscous on the side and add the same spices to the sides that I put on the fish. I usually make an extra meal to re-heat (in my HOME microwave) for lunch the next day.

It does have a tiny bit of sugar, but not enough to where I feel any cravings after eating it. Also, one of the paste packets is said to be for 1 pound of chicken, but I've used more than 1 pound with one packet, which definitely helps reduce the grams of sugar per serving.

Not the healthiest, but I really like to make "butter chicken" with this spice packet. It calls for a lot of butter, but doensn't really need that much. I add cream to it at the end, but that's all depending on your tastes (I'm a wimp for spicy foods, and the cream cuts it). It's good with rice and cauliflower, all mixed together, and super easy to make.

  1. Frozen bag of vegetables + can of full fat coconut milk + golden curry blocks. Add together and cook on stove top until done. Eat with rice or by itself.

  2. Layer these: Can of (heated up) refried beans on bottom -> shredded cheese -> sour cream -> (mix these in a bowl first) tomatoes, lemon juice, salt, and green onion. * Eat with tortilla chips

  3. Sambusa= egg roll wraps, cumin & salt, (2 - 4) eggs, parsley, ground beef, and oil for frying.
    Boil eggs until done. Chop into bits. Cook beef with salt & cumin. In a bowl, add the cooked eggs and beef, add more spice as needed. Chop parsley & add it to the bowl. Let the mix cool. Put the mixture into egg roll wraps and then fry in oil. You can keep these frozen and cook on other days.

  4. Arabic eggplant dish - eggplant, potatoes, ground beef, tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt, cumin.
    Cut the eggplant into slices, fry in oil until done. Set on paper towels to absorb oil. In a pot, and put sliced tomatoes (I usually use four) in and cook with cumin & salt to taste. Add a can (small or regular sized, depends on your preference) of tomato sauce. Add sliced potatoes (I usually use four large red potatoes). Cover with lid and cook on low. In a pan, cook ground beef with cumin & salt. Add the beef to the potato mix, and then add the eggplant. Add more cumin/salt as needed. Cook on low for half an hour.

Otherwise I'd recommend buying some thai curry paste, or Japanese curry blocks. You basically just add milk + tomato (or broth or water) and boom, you've got a sauce to simmer your veg in. This japanse stuff is at my grocer, and the thai stuff I get from amazon.

Also, you can save money if you use dried beans rather than the canned ones. You just gotta remember to throw them into water in the morning. Same thing with split peas, they cook super fast if you soak them in the morning.

I'm surprised on the lack of comments on this post. Your meal prep is pretty unique and is something I wish I was brave enough to attempt.

But to see you're brave enough to package the wet and dry ingredients in the same container, something I've been afraid to do, makes me believe the feat is actually possible. Did you have any obstacles or struggles during the meal prep process? Thanks OP.

Yup, I do it often now. It's hard to combine this stuff with usual American food in a meaningful way. Here's an easy beginner's route:

Get one of these. This is a really good brand. Follow the instructions and put the ingredients you want into a pot. Then add the mix in at the end. Poor it over rice you had cooking in a rice cooker and wa-la.

It's filling, nutritious and quick. But most importantly, it solves my cravings. You can add salt, sugar, sauces and oils to modify the taste a bit. Or you can try other flavors and brands.

You can make a good emulsion with tahini, but you do need more than a couple Tbsp. Per 28 oz chickpeas (1 lg can, 2 sm cans) I start with blending 1/2 C tahini, 1/4 C lemon juice and add water till its almost frothy and has the consistency of thin pancake batter. Then 2 cloves, a generous pinch salt, and drained chickpeas. Then just water to achieve consistency. Its a hassle to clean the blender, so consider a higher power immersion blender.

That's it: a good solid plain hummus bi tahini. Then for variety, you can add garnishes like sambal oolek (red pepper paste), better quality zaatar (wild thyme/sumac/sesame mix), smoked paprika, chopped pitted kalamata olives....

Nan-pizza. Perfect for one person. You can either purchase precooked naan, or make it yourself via this recipe. Warning this step takes awhile, but it's no knead.

I used kochujang paste as a base, because its spicy and sweet and works well for me.

Then just top with mozzarella and anythings you like! I heat it up in a toaster oven since its just for one person. This is how I survived as a single person. There are so many variations! But, the kochujang is so flavorful, I often ate it just with the cheese!

This recipe and this one here are my two current favorites. For the first one, Halloumi cheese can be pricey, so I usually sprinkle feta on top instead! And the Korean-style is insanely fast/easy/inexpensive. I mixed a little bit of gochujang with the vinaigrette while it was boiling, and it really took the flavor to the next level, but you can use sriracha if you want, or just leave chili paste out of it. It tastes fantastic either way!

I learned to make thai red curry by watching this video.

Couple of things I do:

  • I haven't been able to find kaffir lime leaves or thai basil without driving 40-50 miles, so I just leave them out and I'll squeeze a little bit of lime juice in the curry. Not super authentic or restaurant quality, but it makes something that tastes good. Thai basil is especially excellent though, and if you can find that, definitely add it.

  • I don't like the brand of thai curry pastes you can get at the grocery store (here it's Thai Kitchen), they just taste off to me. However, Mae Ploy is a great brand you can get off of Amazon and is a much better value, imo. A much larger container that will last you forever (mine's been in my fridge a couple of years now and it still hasn't gone bad) and only a dollar or so more expensive than the grocery store stuff.

  • I've made thai curry with low fat coconut milk before. Honestly, if you have health concerns about the fat/caloric intake, just make it less often and eat as a treat. Low fat coconut milk doesn't temper the heat, no matter how little paste you use, and you'll just end up a sad fire breathing dragon. Cook's Illustrated did a test of popular brands - I use Thai Kitchen since it's what I can find in the grocery store.

  • I don't eat vegetarian/vegan, but thai curry is extremely versatile in what you can put in it. I usually eat red curry and my absolute favorite addition to it is pineapple. As far as vegetables, I usually put peas, carrots, bell peppers, and tomatoes. As a general rule, stay away from green leafy things, but feel free load it with a ton of vegetables and experiment! If you/anyone you serve eats meat, just about any kind of meat will go well. Chicken, pork, beef, and fish all work really well. Squid is actually really amazing for red curry if you're feeling fancy.

  • I'll eat it over just about any kind of rice but jasmine is the best.

I'm not familiar with that brand, but it looks like the right thing. The most basic one that my wife's family uses is Squid brand. I also like Red Boat, but it's more expensive. Megachef is very good also and less expensive. I've also recently discovered a brand called Hai Ngu which looks and tastes like an identical clone of Red Boat, but less expensive.

When buying fish sauce, the marks of quality are:

  • First Press
  • Made in Phu Quoc Island in Vietnam
  • Ingredients should contain anchovy and salt, nothing else. Many of the cheaper ones, like Squid brand, include some added sugar, but absolutely nothing else should be added.
  • 40°N or 60°N indicates the natural sweetness of the sauce, and the higher the more expensive.

I think a lot of people are equating the crystal salt-like additive MSG (e.g. Ajinomoto) with naturally occurring glutamates. Maybe this person, for whatever reason, does not want to eat MSG additives but is fine with eating naturally occurring glutamates, such as those found in seaweed, tomatoes, anchovies, etc.

Also, to H20, there are fish sauces that have naturally occurring glutamates and no MSG additives.
Examples of fish sauces with no added MSG (emphasis on the "added"):

I have an entire shelf devoted to hot sauce. Here are my faves.

El Yucateco. All of these are bomb, but my fav is the green and black habenero. I believe the Caribbean and chipotle have some sugar in them, but the rest are sugar free.

High Altitude Gourmet is my absolute fav hot sauce company, and makes my fav red habenero and chipotle sauce. Neither those, nor the Caribbean lime have sugar. I can't recall about the rest of their product's though. I do think that despite the label saying 0g carbs/tsp, they might be a little more carb heavy than some others because the ingredients are just lime juice, peppers, garlic and salt, no water or vinegar. For some reason they don't even mention this product online, but if you're in CO, USA they sell a really good habenero yellow mustard at Kroger stores.

Zulu Zulu Peri Peri is my go to for chicken if I'm not feeling chipotle.

Finally, for BBQ sauce I just recently discovered G. Hughes. I've only had the hickory, but it's pretty good. It's a little sweet and needs a spicy rub underneath it to balance that out IMO, but other than that I like it. They also make a ketchup I'd like to try.

This is the stuff. You can often find it in a regular grocery store (at least in the places I've lived in the US) wherever they keep their asian food, or in any chinese market.

any cheap Hoisin sauce is great for teriyaki and as a sushi goop.

this veggie oyster is surprising good as well for both purposes.

few drops of liquid smoke and you can make them in the oven or grill with the same classic smoke ring. chemically, it's the same as actually smoking the meat with a lot less hassle.

> It would require someone to have ketchup and sriracha sauce and I just don't ever see that happening.

Why not?

I don't use Sriracha I use Sembal Oelek, very close. Sriracha has experienced a surge in popularity lately though. Marketing.

Funny thing, I have this on my desk in front of me, and I'm sure it was less than five bucks. Amazon wants sixty bucks for it???

Edit: Just went to T&T, you can buy Sriracha ketchup there.
