    Recipe:

    250 grams of saikoro beef cubes (let them reach room temperature, sprinkle with salt/pepper to tenderize, and let rest for 20 minutes until the water is released, then pat dry with a tissue).

    4 large milk tofu pieces, cut into 8 parts, fried until crispy without seasoning.

    1/2 onion, finely chopped.

    5 cloves of garlic, finely chopped.

    2 scallions (white parts only), finely chopped.

    2 tablespoons of black pepper sauce (e.g., Saori brand).

    2 tablespoons of oyster sauce.

    2 tablespoons of unsalted butter.

    2 tablespoons of sweet soy sauce.

    1/4 teaspoon of white pepper.

    1/4 teaspoon of powdered shrimp paste.

    1/2 teaspoon of beef stock powder (e.g., Masako).

    A sprinkle of brown sugar

    1 tablespoon of sesame oil.

    180 ml water.

    1 teaspoon of cornstarch/ maezena flour

     

    How to Cook:

    1. Sauté Aromatics:
    Sauté the onion, garlic, and scallions with a little oil (just a bit—saikoro cubes are naturally oily) over low heat until translucent or golden.


    2. Cook the Beef Cubes:
    Add the saikoro cubes and butter. (Yes, I know people usually sear the cubes first, but I was lazy and hungry.) Fry them until they brown.


    3. Add Seasonings and Sauces:
    Add the seasonings and sauces to the pan.


    4. Cook the Seasonings:
    Stir and cook until the seasonings are well-blended and aromatic.


    5. Thicken the Sauce:
    Add the cornstarch slurry (mix the cornstarch with a little water beforehand) and stir well until the sauce thickens.


    6. Taste and Adjust:
    Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning as needed.


    7. Serve:
    Serve with rice and a sunny-side-up egg.

     

    Sorry no photo but I ate 5 plates of rice last night with this and boyfriend ate a lot too. So so so good

    No idea what to call it. Just something I made up to use my leftover whey. I tried making cheese but messed up.

     

    Ingredients:

    Mozzarella sticks (2–3 cm long)

    120 g high-protein flour

    180 ml whey

    4 tablespoons sugar

    1 teaspoon salt

    60 g butter or margarine

    1 egg



    1. Put the whey in a non-stick pot and bring it to a boil.


    2. Add the butter or margarine and stir until melted.


    3. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved.


    4. Gradually add the flour while stirring until it forms a dough. Reduce the heat to low or turn it off.


    5. Once you have a slightly firm dough, transfer it onto a plate.


    6. Let it rest for 10 minutes.


    7. Add the egg to the dough and knead until fully blended.


    8. Divide the dough into portions that match the size of your mozzarella sticks.


    9. Let the portions rest for another 10 minutes.


    10. Flatten each portion of dough with your palm, like making dumplings.


    11. Wrap the mozzarella stick inside the dough, sealing it tightly.


    12. Deep fry until golden brown.


    13. Serve with any sauce of your choice (e.g., chocolate, cheese, etc) or enjoy plain.

    I love milk, but I’m lactose intolerant. My boyfriend often buys me milk and usually buys a lot of it at a discount.

     

    Since I don’t like wasting food, here’s how I use milk that’s about to expire.

     

    Making ricotta or paneer cheese for Italian dinners
    All you need is milk (he buys whole or raw milk), lemon juice, and sea salt (not sodium-free salt).
    You can easily find instructions online or watch videos—it’s super simple!

     

    Once I have paneer or ricotta, I make olio aglio fettuccine (I didn’t have spaghetti) with parmesan and paneer cheese.

     

    1. Boil water, add a generous amount of salt, and cook 90 grams of dry pasta.


    2. While the pasta was cooking, I sliced 3 cloves of garlic very thinly.


    3. Since I didn’t have olive oil, I mixed margarine and butter to gently sear the garlic over low heat without browning the butter.


    4. Added the cooked pasta, I mixed it with cheese, dried oregano, and chili flakes. Added a bit of pasta water to create a silky texture.


    5. Plate it, top with more cheese, and done.

     

    Deep-Fried Milk

    1. I heat milk in a saucepan, then added cornstarch and sugar.


    2. Stir on low heat until it thickened like glue.


    3. Poured it onto a plate and refrigerated it until it set like chewy pudding.


    4. I cut it into cubes, coated in cornstarch, then dip in egg and panko.


    5. Deep fried the cubes until golden.


    6. I drizzled with sweetened condensed milk for extra flavor.

    At least once a month, I'll make a big pot of "Roberto Soup"

     

    • 1 yellow onion, diced
    • 1 or 2 tsp. minced garlic
    • Olive oil
    • 1 lb. hot Italian sausage (ground)
    • 1 can (15oz.) beans of your choice (I like navy beans)
    • 1 28oz. can of petite diced tomatoes
    • 32 oz. chicken stock
    • Kale or spinach, fresh or frozen
    • Parmesan cheese (grated or shredded)
    • Lemon

      Saute the onion and garlic in apot over medium heat with olive oil, until the onions are translucent. Add the ground Italian sausage and brown it. Add the beans, canned tomatoes, and chicken stock, and stir. Bring to a low boil. Add as much kale or spinach as you'd like and let it simmer, covered, on low, for a good half an hour, stirring every so often.

      When serving, squeeze the juice of 1/4 lemon into the bowl and generously sprinkle the top with Parmesan cheese.

    Isn't sweet soy sauce just an alternative version to teriyaki? They're not too much different.

     

    My recipes are simple. Here's one I could try listing.

     

     

    Garden Stir-Fry

     

    Ingredients:

    What you find in your garden.

    -5-7 carrots.

    -3 spring onions or scallions.

    -4-5 celery stalks.

    -2 fresh garlic cloves, crushed.

    -3-5 radishes.

    -dried peppercorns or grounded peppercorn.

    -sea salt (to taste).

    -Kikkoman soy sauce (to taste).

     

    Directions:

    -Cut up the carrots either into slices or longways. Throw them in an already heated pan with some oil and a little bit of salt (if the soy sauce isn't enough for your taste buds in sodium).

    -Cut the onion or scallions into big or small pieces for the pan with the carrots.

    -Cut the celery stalks into slices for the pan.

    -Cut the radishes into discs for the pan.

    -Grind up the peppercorns if they are whole. If not, throw grounded pepper into the pan. Cover all of the vegetables.

    -Mince the crushed garlic cloves and throw them in the pan and make sure it smells fragrant (it'll tell you they're crushed enough).

    -Throw in the soy sauce near the end of the cooking session, and the vegetables should be soft.

    -If needed, add anything extra (spices) to make it sweet or spicy.

    -If you are not looking for weight-loss and looking for protein, fry up some sliced up tofu (slices or cubed) before the vegetables and make sure the vegetables soften when cooking with tofu nearby.

    -Taste before serving this up!

     

    Tell me if you have a better version of this recipe. It's my go-to (minus radishes and we actually use garden green beans instead) recipe. If we don't have a garden (our garden did not live the next year and so we have no garden now), we buy store-bought vegetables. This recipe is so simple that I was cooking this back in my childhood for both of my parents. If my grandparents didn't have gas, I would be asking to cook this at their house way back then.

    Sweet and sour sausage

     

    Slice any sausage you like around 500 grams. Fry them to reduce water content.

     

    Sauce:

    1 onion medium size. Diced

    3 cloves of garlic. Minced finely

    4 tbsp worcestershire sauce

    3 tbsp sweetened soy sauce

    2 tbsp oyster sauce

    2 tbsp chili sauce. If you don't like spicy, use tomato sauce

    2 tbsp sesame oil 

    1/2 tsp black pepper

    1/2 tsp beef stock powder. Or MSG if you only have that.

    1 tbsp chinese cooking wine

    1/2 glass of water

    3 tbsp margarine

     

    How to cook

    Saute the onion and chinese cooking wine. Put 1/3 of your water into the saute pan and let it caramelise.

    Then put in the garlic. Stir until garlic is soft.

    Then put in the rest of the ingredients of the sauce, including the water. But do not put in the sesame oil yet.

    Cook the sauce until the water is reduced

    Put in your fried sausages.

    Mix them well and cook until water is reduced and sauce is thickened.

    Turn off the stove and put in the sesame oil. 

    Served it on a hot plate of rice.

    I dont eat or cook vegetables. 

    Tofu is made from fermented soy beans, so yes, it's still a vegetable but more so just called a bean. Onions, scallions, and garlic are all classified as spices and aromatics but are still vegetables on their own. Ginger is a root vegetable even if it's called a spice by many. Every bean you enjoy whether through whole, processed, or sauce is still vegetable. Yes, you do eat and cook vegetables. Now, if you talk about fruit, fruit is not a vegetable as it grows on shrubs and trees while a vegetable is always grown in the ground. They become either a plant (green beans, corn, tomatoes) or an edible root (garlic, onions, scallions, horseradish, radishes, carrots, ginger, etc.). Both of which may or may not contain a flowering stage before entering the 'fruiting' stage of the actual seeds and everything in the piece of 'fruit' growing.
