Knife Skills: How to Cut a Bell Pepper
Holy crap, J Kenji! I was just seriously thinking about something like this yesterday specifically for bell peppers! Your awesomeness never ceases
Seriously Asian: Natto
one helpful tip for natto, you stir it for a good few minutes to get it airy. most of my japanese friends/family swears by it. it's super light and tasty. little added chopped scallion and tiny bit of spicy pepper over hot rice is my favorite breakfast.
natto spaghetti is still a weird thing for me though
Cook Your Meat in a Beer Cooler: The World's Best (and Cheapest) Sous-Vide Hack
Kenji, I cannot express how big of a hero you are.
Both my brother and I tried on our own method for steaks this past week (after your lamb post). I do not know exactly his method but I know he used a few NY Strip steaks. He and I have both been wanting to play around with anything sous vide, but not up for an investment in a machine yet. Your post came at the perfect time.
I work on a food truck and realized I would be working through dinner saturday night. I ran to the store and grabbed a 16qt cooler along with some rib eyes (about 3/4 an inch thick). They marinated all day until I threw them in the cooler around 8pm and they were perfect for searing at 10. Best steaks I've ever had. They were just so beautiful and juicy!
Brother raved about his steak efforts as well. Soon he and I will be trying to convince our mother it's just how we should cook steak at home.
Thanks Kenji!
