Coco curry with bean rice, missing a bit of cilantro ★_★Aqua faba is really such a nice ingredient to thicken up a sauce

Spicy lentil curryI just get a little bit of oil hot in a nonstick pan(that’s all i got, dunno if it would work better with a stainless or other) then crack the egg in the oil once it’s nice and hot. Once it’s in there, you don’t want to touch it. It should lift off the pan easily once the underside gets golden. If the top isn’t cooked enough, lower the heat, add a lid and let it set. Best of luck in your egg journey

Spicy lentil curryThanks ! I’ve gotten better recently and wow does it pay off

Coco curry with bean rice, missing a bit of cilantro ★_★Start by chopping some garlic, chalots/onions and ginger finely. Make bite size chunks of chicken
Get some oil (or gee would work i think) heating up in a pan (you can get away with a mediocre quality copper pan)
Get your chicken bits golden brown in the pan on high heat (you want to keep the chicken juicy) before lowering the heat a bit and adding your garlic, onions etc
At this point you can start cooking your washed rice
Wait for your aromatics to get fragrant/somewhat caramelized
Add salt and curry
After just a little bit, add your coconut milk (with fat and all)
You can add yogurt if you feel lilke going extra creamy
(Assuming you got jarred red beans and not dry which will also work but need to be cooked longer with the rice) Strain a bit of aqua faba into your pan with all your sauce and dump your red beans in your rice
Add some lemon/lime juice to your sauce (might also work in the rice) to cut the richness (if you want more of the taste of lemon and less of the sharpness, you can cook it a bit longer)
Serve and enjoy

Improvements :
find something with a bit of bite to add to the dish, it’s good but the texture is maybe a bit too uniform…
Add some greens, fresh cilantro or spinach ?
-
Garlic, potatoes and crispy pork bits !Here i go (i got no measurements… Mostly do it by feel) :
-boil and skin potatoes.
-wash more spinach than you think would be needed (it reduces so much ×_×) (you might want to take out the spine/ridge since it won’t be cooked for long).
-Mince some garlic and shallots/onions.
-Get some lardon in a hot pan.
-Once a litle bit of fat has rendered out, add your shallots and garlic.
-get your pan’s content as crispy as you’d like(usually verry).
-reserve your cooked lardons, chalotes and garlic.
-take out some of the bacon fat if you feel like there’s too much of it (i usually leave it in, it’s easier and tastes good).
-crank up the heat and add diced (rough dicing) potatoes.
-add salt.
-once the potatoes are golden, add back your bacon etc…
-cut/lower the heat.
-add your spinach and wait for it to soften.
-add some black peper and serve.
From this you can do pretty much whatever you want, add some cheese, spices, change the bacon for sunny side up…(or mushrooms in which case you could call this a poélée forestière)
Bon apétit !

Spicy lentil curryIf you want your yolk to be runny, you have to crank the heat up quite a bit… That may be an issue _

Garlic, potatoes and crispy pork bits !I’m no expert, but you can usually get away with some nice plating and a few colorfull topings. Look at a curry for example, it’s really tasty, but the curry itself usually looks like an orange/greenish stew (not talking about japanese curry here) what makes it pop in photos is the cilantro added last minute or the stzrk contrast with som white rice.
In the end, you might as well post your “sploodge” every now and then. It’s not like the sub is drowning in content and you always get nice tips out of it
