2. NO ADVERTISING

This community is for sharing pictures of awesome food, not a platform to advertise.

3. NO MEMES

4. PICTURES SHOULD BE OF FOOD

Preferably good, high quality pictures of good looking grub; for pictures of terrible food, see [email protected]

No recipe for this one, sorry. I followed Mandy's recipe from Souped Up Recipes on YouTube. I just liked this picture.

are you telling me a chicken fried this rice

[–] tsz 4 points 1 year ago

Came here to ask this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes. We have around 50 chickens right now and I've been training our big rooster to fry rice. He's become quite proficient.

I can never get the chicken to taste the way I want it to.

[–] DocMcStuffin 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have you tried brining it? I tried that a couple years ago and it makes a world of a difference for chicken breast.

[–] danc4498 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is that just like salt water for a couple hours?

[–] Cheebus -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yes, brining chicken involves putting it in saltwater for several hours (which can go overnight). You can also add herbs to enhance the flavor of the brine. I actually do this with a whole turkey every year for Thanksgiving, believe it or not!

Salt and sugar. We do 50/50. Use lots, like ridiculous amounts of both.

Goddamn that shit looks so good

Bruh hot damn, that looks amazing

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It was really good. I think I could still improve my technique but I was happy with it. I found that it had too much of that classic soy sauce flavor. I think I should have used more dark soy sauce instead of light.

I've never managed to make a fried rice dish that isn't just dry, flavourless and sad,

But i usually try doing it without any recipe and i have no idea what i'm doing, so i definitely have to give that one a try because that there looks gooood!

I've had great success with Mandy's recipes. Her recipe and detailed instructions are in the description of the video. I also made a big batch of her char siu and froze most of it. It shows up all the time in things that my wife is making.

This looks great! You've inspired me to include fried rice in next week's meal lineup. Thank you.

Ugh I wish it wasn't a video. Just give me a recipe, maybe a couple of pictures. Maybe. I can read a recipe in 30 seconds. Instead I have to watch a 7 minute video.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Look in the description of the YouTube video.

Mandy is great. Her, Wang Gang, Yihua Foods (一画美食), and Chinese Cooking Demystified for context are all you need for Chinese cookery on YouTube.
