Pizza people, decided to try out a cauliflower pizza that the Baking Steel guy posted to facebook since the picture looked so good and I was curious what it actually would taste like. Since I'm trying to diet at the moment, seemed like it would be worth trying.

Obviously it's no match for regular pizza, but it was fairly decent, no overwhelming cauliflower flavor at least. Had to make a few alterations since I ended up only having about 60% of the Parmesan cheese called for in the recipe, so I dumped some bread crumbs in to try and soak up some of the liquid, seemed to work decently. Probably won't be making this again (well, one head of cauliflower was enough to make two pizzas, so I have another one in the fridge that I'll whip up later this week, but after that), but if you're cooking for a gluten-free person, I'd recommend it as an option.

Apologies for the delay but I won't be able to make the challah until Saturday Australian time.

Decent Korean store ramen with egg, scallions and homemade char siu. 8 hour bath at 140 and quick sear.

I would never guess that was cauliflower, looks tasty

@Dudd so if you had more cheese you wouldn't need the breadcrumbs? breadcrumbs seem decidedly non-gluten-free.

ICWUDT

Has anyone here ever had or even heard of a pletzel (no not a pretzel)?

hahaha "I s****** from all the niggling chiggers..."

^ This looks great.

Made Kenji's general Tsos chicken yesterday. Very good. Next time I'd double the sauce.

LOL, that's funny

UCWIDT but I did not until you pointed it out and I had to reread it several times before I had my "aha" moment

Lived in Northern Thailand from 2002 - 2004 and was craving Thai tonight.

First off was laap bpet made with some organic ground duck I found at Whole Foods. Laap (laahhp, not lar-b) is a simple but delicious dish of ground meat with herbs and a simple sweet, hot, sour, salty sauce, like most Thai food. I use this recipe modified to my tastes:

Next up was a classic Phat Thai. I am lucky to live near a Lao market so I can get the key sauce ingredients (tamarind paste, palm sugar, fish sauce) and good noodles from Bangkok. This is good resource to learn how to make it:

Pim! Yay! I learned from the EDF SF thread that she runs her own 1 star Michelin Thai restaurant now.

That Thai food looks good. I love Thai food. Yum.

Both very simple if you can source the ingredients

I've got the tamarind paste, palm sugar and fish sauce so would just need to grab some noodles. I cook quite a bit Thai, Chinese, Malaysian, Indonesian, Vietnamese food. Asian food is probably my favourite food.

I admittedly didn't click on the recipe links but I can strongly recommend the Pok Pok cookbook as having truly authentic recipes.

Fixed link for laap recipe:

Would love to see some Malaysian recipes you recommend

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm trying to limit my cookbook buying as I already have a truckload but I may be tempted by this.

Sure next time I cook a dish I'll post a pic and recipe.

5 south, are you another PDX person or do you just know about Pok Pok from the cookbook?

KJS, i'm curious about your favorite PDX Thai places. i'll keep them a secret, promise! If i remember correctly you work somewhere on the west side? Have you been to Thai Bloom on Cedar Hills? They have lots of delicious food but their pumpkin curry is fantastic.

Super humid the last few days with above avg temps and lots of rain. Also have the inlaws over for shabbos and had to make a bigger than normal challah. They don't like a cakey crumb, so I decided on a pull apart last min and the results were fantastic (rolling on the shabbos ).

Ingredients:
3.75 - 4 cups ap flour
about 1.25 cups warm water
.25 cup seltzer
few squirts honey
1 package yeast
.25 cups of canola
1 egg plus 1 yolk
eggwash
poppy seeds

Preparation:
Same as usual except baked at 375 for first 10 then lowered to 350 for the remaining time.

I consume way too much food related content on YouTube and heard about him from my travels there.
My credentials are I've lived in Thailand going on 10 years now, have a Thai mother in law, etc... Also will get flamed in the thread I'm sure but I think Thai food is super overrated.
Since you lived in Thailand before and obviously know how to cook Thai food I'd be surprised to hear you don't think those recipes are legit. I've gone over them with the wife and she confirms and she's always leery of foreigners claiming they know Thai food.
For how popular Thai food is I've always thought trying to find authentic recipes with proper techniques and ingredients in English actually isn't that easy and pok pok was a good source. No dog in the fight regarding his restaurant empire and paying $20+ dollars for a somtum.

Man I could really go a Nasi Lemak right now. Might go hunt one down.
