The Next Food Network Star, Episode 4 Recap: Share Your Feelings

All I could do after the show went off was laugh at how totally absurd it was and how there is not one person on there who I would want to to watch for longer than 3 minutes.

Lots of mustard. If I'm feeling fancy - mustard and coleslaw. My God, I love coleslaw!

Guily Pleasures and other Embarrassing Pantry Items

Cream of soups - I love them and I don't care what you say. Ha! Canned salmon and those cheap packages of Top Ramen; spicy chicken flavor particularly ;)

Neo Soul Food

I was going to suggest going to the food network and searching for recipes from Down Home With the Neelys. They've done a lot of things with traditionally southern ingredients that seem kind of noveau to me. Creamed Collard Greens might be a good start.

Rice with some kind of sausage, onion, mushroom combo on top. Or just indian food now that I'm thinking of it if i had access to a spice cabinet.

Can't wait for all of your future fun questions JEP! Sorry your tilapia didn't turn out so well. I always considered it sort of a bland fish to begin with.

The best way to cook tilapia is ________

I like to marinate it in a mixture of white miso, sugar or mirin, sake, garlic and ginger. Let it marinate at least 30 minutes (but you could let it go longer, overnight even). Then broil until cooked through (usually doesn't take long, maybe 5 minutes total). Garnish it with scallions and sesame seeds. This is pretty much my go to for most white fishes, although I have some wild salmon I may try this with tonight!

The best way to cook tilapia is ________

Considering they have much less impact on the environment since it takes very little feed to raise tilapia than other fish, like salmon, there is good reason to try to eat more of it and stop listening to those fish mongers who discourage you from trying it. I have been making fish tacos with them: a quick lime, olive oil, salt & pepper marinade. Flour lightly and fry in cast iron. Then dress them with shredded cabbage, chipotle mayo, mango salsa, red onion, or what have you, and it is flavorful and meaty and definitely hits the right spot when fish is on the brain.

Can you cook rice?

I can cook rice with my eyes closed! RINSE, RINSE, RINSE, then RINSE some more!

Water, pinch of salt, rice. Bring to boil. Cover. 20 minutes on low. No peeking. EVER. I don't use a rice cooker. I typically cook about 8 cups (dry) in my ginormous pot for my annual Mardi Gras party.

Can you cook rice?

I love calrose rice. I use it 90% of the time. My method is rinse it, boil the water, throw in tablespoon of olive oil into the water and then throw in the rice. Cook on high for 5 mins (LID ON) then turn off and walk away. Don't touch the lid for 20 mins, then and only then fluff and put the lid back on for 5. I have a rice cooker I use it maybe twice a year. You too can cook rice!!

Make sure you're using the correct size pan...too large and rice will absorb the water before it's done. I learned that the hard way.

You're welcome, tmj529! Glad it worked for you.

Can you cook rice?

Done. Minstrel, your advice for cooking Mahatma rice was dead-on. Perfect bite, nice separation but still a teeny bit glutinous. Yay you. And me. Thanks!

From Talk

Can you cook rice?

Okay, Minstrel -- game on. I've just followed your instructions for Mahatma, and it just went to low. Does "just below the top of the rice" mean that I could swoosh the back of a spoon over the rice and feeling more resistance than liquid. . .and does it look like deep bubble pockets on top? Thx.
