Thanks for the tip, added some big juicy pictures

not a big fan of salmon but mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm that fettucini alfredo looks so good, im going to try this recipe out !
|
|
@ Rulker, yeah the alfredo is so easy and its absolutely better than the canned or frozen stuff! If you don't like salmon you can also use a steak and do the same recipe, I would replace the dill with parsley though since dill doesn't really go with steak imo.
@ m3rciless, thanks man

I'm making my video tomorrow and I already have a recipe in mind, I was wondering if anyone else has a specific dish they want to see or a general type of dish!

As stereotypish as it might sound, I would love to find out how to make a good homemade sweet/sour-sauce with vegetables and tofu/chicken just like you can always get them from the chinaman around the corner.
I'm slowwwly getting closer to making stuff that taste similar to buying the sweet/sour-sauce just better but I would love to find out how that is done properly.

My my mom actually taught me a really simple recipe on how to make that dish. That's def a dish I will be able to demo. I'm glad to share things I've learned to recreate common dishes. The alfredo I made was inspired by my friends who always eat the frozen boxed stuff or use the jarred stuff. That sauce isn't even close to the real deal since it's made from oil, flour, and water. Maybe I can show people that making sweet and sour chicken is actually pretty easy

The name alone, 'Cooking with Karl' makes your videos deserving of a watch. Food looks good, gj!

Easiest one I have ever made is just red wine vinegar (any really works but i prefer the taste of red wine) red onion, red and orange peppers diced in a sugar / vinegar reduction.
Once ingredients are mixed you just reduce till taste meets your requirements. More sugar for sweet, more vinegar for sour.

I would actually do what Bloody wrote and in addition also add a little ketchup and a mixture of cornstarch and water. That's how my mom made it.

few tips:
your pan and oil should be hot when you put in the salmon. if you cook it gradually like you do in the video you won't get a good sear on the skin
when cooking a skin-on filet, you should score the skin so it doesn't curl and cook unevenly, and cook it mostly on the skin instead of an equal amount on each side
also wtf show us more of the food when it's finished in the video
|
Thanks for the tips! (I didn't actually know about the scoring one!) I usually put it in when the pan is hot as well, but you would be surprised how much people freak out putting things into a sizzling pan. One of my ex's like would never put things into a hot pan with oil and when she did she would like dangerously throw it in and then run away hahah :p

Damn you. That's pretty similar to what I did already, usually I'd add some storebought sweet/sour souce instead of the ketchup and a little soy sauce if there's a need for salty taste.
And I thought I was being a complete asshat for starting out with vinegar. Thanks guys. =S

You dated my gf, wtf? =P
Best part is when she's slowly approaching and throwing it in - splattering hot boiling oil over half the stove in the process. Much more dangerous than slowly putting it in.
