Just enough to brown them, not burn them. butter and salt and garlic and boullion are your friends. don't do too much, if you notice them a lot then it's too much. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┘ --- #8 fediverse/3343 --- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: food-mentioned-cursing-mentioned │ └──────────────────────────────────────┘ Cholula brand tm hotsauce? don't you mean the "I fucked up while cooking and want to still eat it" sauce? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┘ --- #9 fediverse/475 --- ═════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────── I love cooking. My favorite food is "melange" also called "gruel" by the less culinary people in my life. It consists primarily of a rice or noodle base, plus a bunch of other ingredients (usually sauteed) that are quite nutritious. Then, you season in a way such that it tastes delicious and savory and BOOM you have the perfect food. Well, not as good as steamed eggs, but still pretty good. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────┘ --- #10 fediverse/338 --- ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── ┌───────────────────────────┐ │ CW: food-learning-to-cook │ └───────────────────────────┘ If you want to learn to cook, start with a sandwich.
