Mushroom Rehydrating Time Lapse

I like cooking asian and this often involves the use of dried mushrooms. They can easily be rehydrated with boiling water in a few minutes. While for wood-ear mushrooms boiling water is perfectly ok, some say that it is not for shiitakes and one should rather use lukewarm water (having to accept a longer rehydration time) in order to preserve flavour. I personally can’t find any difference, so I always use boiling water for both.

This video is about 20 minutes condensed to 1. The wood-ear mushrooms are perfectly good after about 12-15 minutes, whereas the thicker shiitake take at least 20 minutes to rehydrate. You can save the flavourful liquid from the shiitakes for later use (the wood ear don’t deliver any), for example as soup stock addition etc. And don’t forget to remove the stems.


Cheesecake in the microwave

I’m not much of “sweets guy” but my SO loves a sugary treat from time to time, so I made her these. It’s actually this “Tasty“-Recipe and it works well. Almost no effort, nearly fool proof and apparently really delicious.


How To: Beef Jerky

I made beef jerky again, this time Teriyaki-style. Also, meanwhile I have “professional” Dehydrator that does a real good job and that has temperature control as well as a timer for “fill and forget”.


Seafood Gratin

I made a yummy Seafood Gratin these days. Attention: This is serious winter food – heavy, savoury, warming and high in calories… here’s how to cook it.


Smoked Meat (and Curing Recipe)

Eventually, I seem to get the hang on it. The latest piece turned out beautifully. After smoking it thoroughly with the cold smoker and hanging it in the fridge to age for about four weeks, I recently gave it a try and I really like it. Tasty, not harsh, rather mild and the fat melts in your mouth. Luckily, I wrote down what I did precisely, so I can (and will) repeat.


Szechwan Spicy Beans and Pork

Mhh, I think I’m on some kind of asian-cooking-trip at the moment… This one is hot, tasty and easy to prepare. Taken from here and adapted to my needs and possibilities.


“Butadon”

Looking for a way for using up stuff in my fridge before it spoils, I stumbled over “Butadon, a kind of japanese rice bowl dish. Due to what I had at hand I simply merged two recipes from two of my favourite YouTube Channels (this one and this one), so here’s MY version:


Takikomi Gohan

I made Takikomi Gohan, a yummy japanese rice dish. I found the recipe here (I like these two girls, here’s their YouTube Channel) and followed it except the konnyaku, that I wasn’t able to find here. It’s tasty and filling and almost no work since the rice cooker does everything for you.
