xmunk, (edited ) in Salmon slightly freezer burned - will it still be edible?

Sure, though, it might be a good idea to make a more highly flavored meal like cheese crusted or maple glazed. My favorite form of salmon (baked and topped with a piccata like sauce) would probably be pretty underwhelming if the meats not in great shape.

That all said a few months in the freezer probably wouldn’t sap out too much flavor, even if it was just in a zip lock bag.

dirthawker0,

Thank you, good to have reassurance. I have it in a miso honey garlic marinade right now which I think will help. Another possibility which I often use for the tail end bits is a panang curry.

pooberbee, in Tortilla help please

Sounds like they might be drying out, maybe while they’re waiting to be cooked. You can keep them under a moist towel while waiting if that’s the issue. They might also be cooking too long. I don’t have a great sense of what doneness looks like for tortillas, but I imagine knowledge mostly comes from experience.

Post pictures when you get a good batch!

FlavorPacket,

I think both of these might be problems. I definitely didn’t cover the dough and the ones I cooked at a higher heat for a shorter time did come out slightly better.

Thanks for the tip. I’ll be sure to post again if I get anything worthy. 😁

TardisBeaker, in Tortilla help please

Need a better fat for this application. Also you didn’t specify hot water, which is essential according to every abuelita I’ve talked to about it.

FlavorPacket,

I think I just used cold water, so that might be an issue. I also didn’t cover the dough while it rested so I’m sure it dried out a bit. Thanks for the tip.

https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/505f7c3d-6221-4e77-832a-ec246ee259db.jpegI use hominy corn. Put the dry corn in water for 24 hours then cook in water and add salt. Once soft put through a food mincer. With the minced corn make balls of about 30 grams and flatten until you have a tortilla

Edit: forgot to mention that once you have all the balls in a tortilla shape you need to cook them in a nonstick pan

Water, oil, salt, flour is basically the recipe for crackers.

You need to add leavening and use lard or vegetable shortening.

howrar,

It’s also the recipe for some types of bread. The difference is in the ratios and how you apply heat.

Cheradenine, in Trying to make some pide bread for at-home döner kebabs and want to add 3 ingredients to the traditional recipe. How much do I add of each.

I would suggest just finding a recipe that already includes those ingredients.

Adding those three induces a lot of variables. Gluten is obviously going to strengthen the dough but be mitigated to some degree by the dough conditioner, it hydrates differently too. Diastatic Malt will add sweetness as well as flavor.

Your liquid (milk) will need to be increased.

What dough conditioner are you using? There are many.

What is the end goal here?

You can certainly do this but it would be an iterative process, this time too chewy, next too dry, etc.

I’ve made a recipe that includes them but for a hoagie (or sub roll). That recipe uses 240g flour, 60g VWG, 8g dough conditioner, and 6g DMP. Doing some math and using baker percentages, it goes as follows: 25% for VWG, 3% for dough conditioner, and 2% for DMP. I probably did something wrong but I could try this formula. Of course, it there’s a better method I’ll consider it first.

SpiceDealer,
@SpiceDealer@lemmy.world avatar

The dough conditioner I use is this one.

Cheradenine,

Looking at those ingredients I have used them all individually, but never in concert. Seems interesting.

Cheradenine,

If you’re happy with Bakers percentages I would go with that. You will need to increase your water as a percentage too.

You said in another comment that you wanted puffier bread, usually you want to increase hydration for that. It somewhat depends on your heat transfer though. You can use lower hydrations in a conventional oven, cooking on a steel plate on the stove or using a Tandoor works better with either higher hydration or longer ferments.

Reading your original recipe I thought you were looking at around a two hour fermentation time. Is that correct?

Robsadaisy, in Trying to make some pide bread for at-home döner kebabs and want to add 3 ingredients to the traditional recipe. How much do I add of each.

Why do you need to add these ingredients? Not judgey, just curious.

SpiceDealer, (edited )
@SpiceDealer@lemmy.world avatar

Puffier bread and better crumb. And a higher protein content.

Water, my bad. Just edited it.

kamenoko, in [Discussion] What is/are your favorite commercial sauces?

For broad availability you can’t go wrong with Rao’s tomato sauce. I just hope Campbell’s doesn’t mess them up.

TheGiantKorean,

Campbell’s bought them? Noooo 😭

Brokkr, in Ways to spice up a can of tuna? [Question]

Soy sauce, chili sauce, chili crisps, rice vinegar, curry powder, or any combination of them. Adding scallions or grapes is also good (maybe not both, never tried it).

Lemon juice, pepper, and parmesan is also good.

Both of the above assume some mayo is used as a base binder.

Basically fat, acid, salt, and heat (in this case spice, but you can also add bread crumbs and egg to make tuna cakes)

Araithya,

Chili crisps! I hadn’t thought of that with tuna, I like to add them to my eggs. Do you have a go to brand? I like the laoganma, but I think it would be too chunky for tuna?

Brokkr,

Lao gan ma is my favorite. I like to toast my bread, so the crunchy parts don’t bother me.

Lee kum kee is also good, or doubanjiang (sometimes spelled tobanjan) is also nice. Doubanjiang might be the generic name for Lee kum kee.

Or make your own. It’s not hard, easy to make a big batch, but it’s not as good as Lao Gan ma.

This was my college-era budget-stretcher:

Mix into 1 can of tuna (in water), drained …

… and serve with toast or crackers.


*These are my brands. Just use whatever you got.

Araithya,

Do you drain the water before mixing?

shnizmuffin,
@shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol avatar

Yes.

Donebrach, in Ways to spice up a can of tuna? [Question]
@Donebrach@lemmy.world avatar

try adding dill and capers, maybe a dash of lemon juice or Worcestershire sauce.

Akasazh,
@Akasazh@feddit.nl avatar

I like to add some horseradish paste to this, for extra zing

Araithya,

I keep seeing capers, what are they like? Are they similar to olives? I’ve never had anything with capers before, but I like dill, pickles, olives of all kinds so it seems like it’s up my alley

spittingimage,
@spittingimage@lemmy.world avatar

They’re like tiny extra-salty olives. I use them in homemade tartar sauce.

Donebrach,
@Donebrach@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah you’d probably like them if youre into pickles and olives. They are a pickled bud of a plant, cant really describe what they taste like other than “like capers.” They’re bitter and kinda floral I guess? Anyway, a good paring with fish.

SuzyQ, (edited ) in Ways to spice up a can of tuna? [Question]

For something totally different: tuna patties

  • 2 cans of tuna, drained
  • 1 egg
  • 1 sleeve of saltine crackers, crushed and divided
  • Worcestershire sauce, optional
  • Favorite frying oil

Crush crackers into crumbs. Set aside approximately 1/3-1/4 to bread patties. Put remainder into a bowl. Add egg and drained tuna. Add a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce if desired. Mix together and form patties. (I usually get 2 to 4 patties per can.) Coat outside with cracker crumbs, fry in oil until outer crackers are golden brown. Serve and eat.

Can also be made with canned salmon. My kids like eating them with ketchup or steak sauce. This is actually what I’ll be making for supper tomorrow night. You could totally eat this up with spicy ketchup.

@spittingimage@lemmy.world avatar

I make the same with dijon mustard and lemon juice in place of the sauce. Always a hit.

tychosmoose, in Ways to spice up a can of tuna? [Question]

Fermented and spicy - how about some gochujang? It’s like miso, but a Korean version with chili. Mix it with some good sesame oil and a splash of rice vinegar to lighten it up. Then put it with the tuna in your onigiri like you would the mayo. It’s already salty, so no need to add salt.

highenergyphysics,

If any readers have a Korean grocery near them, the Korean domestic brands not only look and taste 10x better, they have all kinds of fun flavors.

This being one of them!

Araithya,

I do, but the labels all being in Korean is very overwhelming. Do you have any advice for navigating? I’m pretty adventurous so if need be I can just grab a few and roll the dice. I just hate to be wasteful

Araithya,

I feel so dumb lol how could I have forgotten about gochujang, I use it like four times a week. Thanks!

willya, in [DISCUSSION] What is your opinion about meal replacement shakes?
@willya@lemmyf.uk avatar

Soylent is great. I don’t use it on the regular but it works for all the things you’d want one to work for. 400 calories downed quick and satiates for about 3 hours.

gveltaine,

I second this, though the powder isn’t as good in its current rendition it helps control my portion sizing and helps me focus through the post lunch shift

Hobbes,

Isn’t that people?
