What else is in it?

1 bunch scallions; 3 inch knob ginger; 2 cloves garlic; 1/3 c oil; 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt. Chop, mix; *pour smoking hot oil over ingredients in a heat safe bowl, sizzle, cool. Done. [*Extreme care taken with hot oil!]

I may have worked as a cook, but she is a natural compared to me. She just whipped this up with whatever was in the fridge. Very comforting

Needs a bit more ... well, you know.

Heard her mumbling while looking in the fridge, “Now where did I put that beige?”

For comfort food it's hard to beat a Ragu Bolognese with fresh tagliatelle imo.

Cool, thanks! What kind of oil do you prefer?

I use hot grape seed oil followed by a splash of cold sesame oil after the scallions have softened...

Amateur nigiri, this was my 3rd-4th time making and it’s difficult to get decent saku here. Otoro, akami and tamago with various shoyu (and Yuzu shoyu).

Neutral tasting oil with a high heat point—peanut, canola et al. This is sunflower with 10% olive oil.

White cut chicken. Traditional Chinese Grandma cuisine. Chinese village cookery.

Easy peasy. Most traditional, rustic cuisines are easy to make, requiring rudimentary cooking skills, time, along with good kitchen sense—from sashimi to white cut chicken—just takes time and quality ingredients.

Old school style for this is just bring chicken to boil, turn off flame, cover lid with towel, let sit for an hour. I've abbreviated the method, since my kitchen is better than your average Chinese grandma's kitchen.

A whole chicken preferable, but these skinless breasts were on sale. Frugality a Chinese grandma trait.

Cheers! That’s a 150mm Shihan, petty, in 52100 steel. He’s a maker based in Santa Fe, NM. I do need to do a family portrait sometime.

We had our Thanksgiving with the kids and their significant others on Sunday. Put the grill to use as a second oven. High heat roast (500° F), no basting, and this 19 lb bird was done in 2.5 hours. This method produces very moist white meat, been doing all our roast chickens and turkeys like that for about 3 years now. It actually browned better on the grill than in the oven last year, plus no smoke in the house and no oven to clean!

Cheers! Will be having some again for supper. My wife's a pescatarian, so all chicken needs to be consumed by me.

Prettiest looking ginger scallion sauce I've ever seen. But it seems like you need at least maybe 10x more. I can eat that stuff by the bucketfull

Sadly, don’t think I have the arm strength to do 10x the amount. Maybe I’ll try a big batch in the VitaPrep-3, probably freezes alright. It’s great on so many things, killer on fried eggs, grilled fish, etc.

Sautéed chicken livers in a sauce of shallots, reduced chicken stock, and port wine. Inexpensive and yummy. The key is to not over-cook the liver. The other key is to serve with mashed potatoes!
