Breakfast today: Rice omelette

Rice (leftover from dinner): small shallot, 2 cloves of fresh garlic (not dried), small piece of ginger, all minced, sauteed in olive oil, then rice added on top, mixed in, water added, rice cooked as usual with a pinch of salt.

Mix 2 eggs in a bowl (no milk: I'm lactose intolerant and anyway it's unnecessary, just whip them with a  fork until they're fluffy). Pour onto heated frying pan greased with lard. When partially cooked, put some of the rice from last night (refrigerated and shaped with hands to fit the omelette) and put a dab of sriracha on top before folding the omelette in half and cooking as usual.

So delicious.
What kind of savage uses milk anyways?

Does anyone have suggestions for relatively healthy eating on the road? Obviously, fresh vegetables and fruit are good, but those don't tend to keep well in a hot car.
Still looking for this, by the way :P

nuts are good like pistachios and cashews. Dried stuff is your friend so granola and trailmix is the best combo ever for cereal.

Alternatively, eat nothing but hard tack and beef jerky.

I'll stick to nuts and granola, thanks :P

My Kroger now has lamb. Ground lamb, lamb shoulder, leg of lamb, and bits of lamb for stew. I am going to use this opportunity.

Do any of you people from places where lamb is common have an awesome recipe for it?

Lamb pie. So good.

Note, I've never actually tried that particular recipe, but it seems similar to the one I make up as I go, and I couldn't be arsed writing it out. Frozen peas added near the end improve it though, IMO.

Roast lamb is pretty sweet; like a regular roast, except you dig about stick about 6 inch-deep holes in a leg of it with a paring knife, then jam half a clove of garlic and a sprig of rosemary into each one.

I also use lamb mince (ground lamb if you're silly American) in place of beef mince pretty much anywhere, but that's just because it's often cheaper here in Oz.

Greek-style is marinating in olive oil and lemon juice, then grilling or barbecuing; this works best with the more expensive, boneless cuts.

Lots of people seem to like shepherd's pie; I'm not personally a huge fan, but it's just lamb stew with mashed potatoes on top.

Where am I supposed to get HP sauce? I'm starting to feel I'm not nearly British enough to handle lamb.

If you can't find an english or foreign foods store, you can usually buy online. I'm going to have to resort to the same thing now; Japan doesn't have vegemite or good cheese :/

I had some leftover sukjunamul and wanted to pair it with an omelette for breakfast. Normally I have some leftover rice to make the omelette with but this time there was none left, so I cut up a potato and stir-fried it in my wok (using sesame oil) with shallot, garlic, mushroom, and green chili to use as filling. To match the flavor of the sukjunamul, I decided to make the omelette with sesame oil instead of butter or olive oil.

I don't recommend using sesame oil for eggs like this. The flavors taste odd together. Might be better with rice instead of potato. Otherwise a nice meal though.

So I was browsing Reddit, and found this. It actually looks quite straightforward, and delicious.

That does look delicious. Out of curiosity, where do you find awesome recipes on Reddit? Because I clearly need to be browsing those places as well.

I'm making chicken wings again, so I'm going to put my updated recipe here. I've amped up the spiciness a bit and reduced the amount of sauce since it was a little excessive. I also rewrote the directions.

Chicken Wings 2: Wing Harder
<- Older Recipe | Newer Recipe ->

Ingredients (wings and rub):
  • 6 chicken wings - About 1.8 lbs. Or 12 mini-drumsticks/two-bone-bits if you cut 'em in half already.
  • 1 tsp oil (your choice, I use olive or peanut)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp brown sugar
  • 1/3 tsp paprika
  • 1/3 tsp cayenne powder

Ingedients (sauce):
  • 0.5 cups barbecue sauce
  • 0.25 cups honey
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 0.25 tsp liquid smoke
  • Hot sauce to taste
If you already have an appropriately sweet barbecue sauce, you can probably replace the BBQ and honey, and maybe the ketchup too.

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400F. Stir all rub ingredients besides the chicken wings together in a sufficiently large bowl. You should get some ugly looking stuff with the consistency of wet sand. Then add the chicken wings, stirring to the best of your ability. It's not easy to stir a bowl of chicken wings, so nobody will judge you if the rub isn't perfectly even.

Lay down some parchment paper on a baking sheet. Lay the wings on it, cook for 10 minutes, then flip them. Repeat this twice, for a total of 30 minutes cooking. While you're waiting for the wings, start making the sauce. After your initial 30 minutes are up, dip the wings in the sauce and put them back in for 5 more minutes.

For the sauce, get a small saucepan. I know, I was also surprised when I was actually using a saucepan for sauce. Melt the butter, then add the honey, barbecue sauce, and ketchup. Then add the rest of the sauce ingredients. Keep heating and stirring it this whole time, ideally reaching a light boil. Keep it like that for at least 5 minutes before dipping the wings in.
