Plenty of Chinese/Japanese supermarkets should sell it + dried gochugaru

Thanks all, I’ll probably pass by TCR or Angel next week.
Did try an Asian supermarket in the Brunswick centre last week but didn’t see any.

Thanks. Trimmed them up, fingers crossed they're not too tough.

I never do vegan dishes,
but I thought let’s give this a try
homemade dish for one..

• Butter bean mash
  
• Roasted Cauliflower
  
• Chimichurri sauce

Roasted cauliflower on any mash is always good.
Also fun on polenta.

Made ottolenghi fish curry. Is good.

But I hate cooking with recipe on the phone. Scrolling and cooking sucks.
Have to find that old iPad for kitchen use.

chromebook is the answer

Xmas leftovers. Still got a little confit goose left over, made some egg pasta, roasted mushrooms with a little thyme and garlic, roasted off goose leg and then whacked it all together with some cream.

So rich, and slippery with occasional bits of crunch from the goose.

Roasted cauliflower, as Che states Is lovely.

Try the low carb stir fried grated cauli also known as cauliflower rice. So tasty.

Have tried a cauliflower steak? Basically a slice of cauliflower fried or grilled like a steak it is also lovely.

Used to hate cauliflower as a kid, as it was always cooked to a mush.

That homemade pasta looks impressive

Where are you based? So we can give you a closer location.

SE19 but I’m Farringdon way now and again and Victoria or St Pancras

In that case china town ;)

If you can get to hoo hing in mitcham, and if you get there between 12 and 16h you can eat in the restaurant. Cheap Bao that are cooked to perfection.

Really easy

Durum wheat, salt, eggs and a bit of extra water to get the wet to dry ratio correct. Combine and knead for ten mins, wrap In cling film and leave for at least 30 mins

I have the pasta roller for the kitchen aid mixer to make long sheets of dough, then roll up and cut by hand.

This looks decent, might try this next weekend

Not enough space for something with keyboard.

Deer fat fryers

Am sure at some point I’ll also get an air fryer but I’d like to be a belt to do tempura etc so a proper deep fat fryer with temp control rather than just a pan of oil on the hob does appeal.

Tefal do their oleoclean ones which have a built in receptacle for the oil and the other components are dishwasher proof. Or there are other ones on the market which have a tap built in to drain out the oil.

Ideally I would like something that is easy to clean up post use. Am happy to drain the oil back into a bottle once it has cooled.

Any suggestions or ones to avoid?

^listening. Made some tempura last week and some yasai katsu the week before. Both brilliant but a big pan full of oil, cooling it, then filtering to clean it, storing it etc - feels there's a easier way to calcify my arteries.

I hit the fuckit button and ordered a 3l Buffalo fryer. Too many reviews of the tefal mentioned oil leaks. I will have to let it cool and filter the oil back into its bottle.

I've looked at the in the past when I went through the loop of looking at all the consumer ones and realising that they are all shit.

Interested to know how you get on with it.

Buffalo fryer

The last time I checked, buffalo weren't deer, but obviously you live out in the countryside now where things are weird. :)

It looks like it uses standard gastronorm containers and the company appear to be properly established. I hope it may also be big enough to do fried fish for fish and chips too.

Gouchang Update, found myself outside an Asian supermarket on Kingsland rd, looked at all the Gouchang and most still had some kind of sugar/corn syrup not fermented rice and no soya, found one in a green packet (all the others were red) with fermented soy and red pepper paste so bought that, will experiment tonight.

Fryer has arrived. It’s smaller than I imagined. I reckon it’ll fit 4 or 5 chicken pieces at a time. Am doing chicken and fries later.

Chicken is in brine with salt, coariander, peppercorns and bay leaves, spuds are chopped and in water right now.
