You mean get rid of the only good thing about ham? Pfft.

[Caz]

I kinda get where they're coming from tho, I've been served ham that was literally inedible because they skipped the soaking part. Especially when you get those cheap reformed supermarket hams.

Ham.

[Dunamisdeos]

Ahhhh I see. Some sources even say soak it with a bit of white vinegar.

Noted for next time.

[Frumple]

Thing to not do: Cream of sweet and sour chicken, with added cheese and curry powder. Took canned cream of chicken, cooked frozen (innovasian brand) sweet and sour chicken, cooked both, stirred together with extra curry powder and some cheese.

It was edible, but. Barely. With a look, taste, and texture disturbingly close to actual vomit. Would not recommend!

The sweet and sour part is the unholy yuck factor there.

Now, if it was *JUST* tempura chicken, lightly seasoned with the curry powder, and served with the cream of chicken concentrate as a dipping sauce, it could be quite nice.

But keep that apricot/vinegar glaze out of it. Does not belong with cream of chicken, and certainly not with curry powder.  No sir.

As an alternative to boiling them, you could always steam your hams instead.

Sweet sour + any cream is a no. Well except maybe yoghurt desserts, but that's another type of sweet sour.

It even sounds like a bad idea. Why would you do this.

[Frumple]

Because I hadn't tried it before, and it consisted of things I liked to eat! Cream of chicken soup with curry powder and some cheese is amazing, though better when you can do it home made and cut out the stupid amounts of salt put in most purchasable soups. Sweet and sour chicken is pretty good and excellent when it's rice instead of cream of chicken in that mix. So, y'know. You put them together and see what happens. That's how you do the cooking!

Sometimes it goes poorly. Even this was still edible, just... aggressively not great, would not recommend.

I wanna make baked chicken.

I like to get me some panko, get it all nice and _moist with olive oil, then finely chop some garlic and mix it all in with the breadcrumbs. Add some rosemary/salt/pepper to the mix and then roll that chicken breast in egg and breadcrumb mix. Bake it for like 25m.

I made too much rice bc I always find I don't make enough. But now like a stupid amount of rice. 3 dry cups. It ballooned in the cooker and now I'm gonna be eating it for the next 3 days. Made some egg-fried rice and it was goodly. I've also got the makings of miso soup so I guess I can deal with that way.

(tbh I'll probably just end up eating it all as plain rice balls, like a savage  )

[Dunamisdeos]

3 dry cups is enough for my family for like 4 dinners lol.

That said, make some friend rice with it!!!

I add onion, egg, soy sauce, ginger, and just a little bit of hoisin to mine.

Or make a traditional Dutch / Belgian dessert from it: rijstebrij (rice-sludge)

Cook your leftover (cooked) rice in sweet milk (milk with sugar) for about 45 minutes.
Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla. Or both.
Add a handful of raisins
add egg-yolk.

Serve sprinkled with brown rock sugar

enjoy!

You can eat it hot, or let it cool overnight in the fridge, with will make it more pudding-like.

[Dunamisdeos]

Sounds like a kind of rice pudding, which is delicious.

[martinuzz]

Oh, and don't forget to stir regularily while cooking the rice. Or it will bake to the bottom of the pan.
It's not something you can just leave cooking while you do other stuff.
