Stuff I Love:
Ramen Broth - fantastic - I like it more than 90% of the restaurants I go to (must be done with home made Tare)
Octo-Vinaigrette - great on everything. Love it.
Tomato and tofu salad w/ Shiso - the sherry vinaigrette works amazingly well there and is wonderful
Roast pork shoulder - very tasty, easy way to do pork. I suggest cutting the salt and perhaps even rinsing / re-rubbing with a significantly reduced salt rub before roasting. As written - it is way too salty. That said - roast pork shoulder is easy and incredible
Chicken Wings - they're very tasty, but not really 'doable'. Take liberties and omit steps that don't make sense for you (cold smoking).
48 Hour Sous Vide Shortribs - check my
Kalbi Post for alternate uses. I've used this recipe for kalbi marinade, for braising liquid in a dutch oven and in a pressure cooker,
and done the 48 hour sous vide thing. They all come out terrific.
Pickled Thai Chili's - these things bring the heat and are great to keep around. I like all of his pickled stuff that I've tried. Sounds like you do to. These are great as a fridge staple.
Stuff I want to try:
His rib eye. I'm guessing it comes out over cooked as written tbh, but the pic is so nice I kinda wanna try it.
The deserts - everything my gf has made from the Milk Bar book has been really really good.
Stuff I'd stay away from:
I'd skip the kimchi stew. I've made kimchi jigae (sp) before, and much prefer mine. Additionally it doesn't waste a quart of delicious ramen broth that you've spent good time and money making by overpowering it with kimchi flavor. Don't make this.
Ghetto Sous Vide - before I built my sous vide setup I tried his 'ghetto sous vide' setup. It doesn't work. I had my instant read thermometer out and was measuring the temp of the water, but for whatever reason - the hanger steaks just didn't cook. Too ghetto to be useful. Avoid.
