on what planet is this an appetising bowl of food
if you're making a spicy asian style broth surely the joy is in all the fresh and flavourful toppings like spring onions or chillies or kimchi or coriander or sesame seeds or ANYTHING other than floating chunks of raw onion
I know I’m going all ‘Tank Jack’, I already droned on about my excellent roast dinner yesterday, and today made noodle soup with the chicken carcass. After putting on a stock in the morning and leaving for about 3 hrs, I scooped out the bones, celery, onion etc, and then added in ribbons of carrot, shredded greens, dashes of soy/oyster/fish/rice vinegar, then the egg noodles. Then the shredded left over chicken. To serve, chopped lengthways spring onion, Thai basil, and a few splodges of smoked chilli paste (the stuff that’s like a thick oil). End result was not only delicious, but had Orange, yellow, green, paler green, white, and dots of red. It was absolutely delicious, and also looked very vibrant and healthy. My kids loved it, we loved it, and was a nice contrast to the rich Christmas food we’ve been hoofing like gremlins since about October. She can’t
bleeping cook! She doesn’t deserve a job in food. She did at the beginning, because everyone can learn and grow, but she’s so blind to reality that she doesn’t realise her food is
tit. She has the bare minimum of cooking skills. The fact that she’s at home all day but would rather buy cheap bread rather than make it, despite having her own books full of bread recipes, just shows how crap she is at cooking. I can make bread, I mostly buy it, but if I had nothing to do all day but cook, and the alternative was the cheapest loaf available to give my kids for lunch - I’d make it.
Wildly different!
