Essential I Be Cooking!: Post a Pic of What You're Cooking Thread

Yeah this is me. I love to cook but I get to work at 5:30am and don't get home until around 4. I don't really feel like cooking especially if I didn't take nothing out.
You're rarely gonna find a good one outside of ordering off amazon or heading to the asian market.
Don't get one that advertises ANY kind of "non-stick coating". None of those shyts are made the hold up under high heat, that includes stuff like T-Fal,which I would recommend for anything else lol. The high heat makes non-stick coating peel right off, and after 3 or 4 uses you won't be able to cook an egg in it, no less rice.
Go grab a joyce chen. They're like 50 bucks.
let us know how it turns out. I've had this whole duck sitting in the deep freezer for ages.
I have no idea what I wanna do with it
Orange Duck salad - Roast duck basted in orange sauce with grilled butternut squash. Roasted beetroot inside blackened red onion sprinkled with feta cheese and chopped walnuts, over a layer of grilled pears, carmelised red orange segments,crispy roast potatoes on a bed of spinach.
We bout to eat!!! Chinese duck wraps with the left overs from yesterdays dinner. My future husband better work out cos we will be feasting regularly. These were delicious.
With that said, I learnt alot about duck; this being my first time cooking it. I put all the love I would usually into this meal, but it was particularly arduous as it is very fatty and the skin is quite thick. The smell of it really put me off, I cant explain it, it wasnt gamey but it was very distinct.
Secondly, the anatomy was different to what I'm used to. There was all kinds of bones and sinews that I wasnt expecting as I'm used to chicken. The bones and cartilage were very dense and not as hollow as chicken is. So for any body doing this you will need an incredibly sharp knife.
For more than 2 people you will need quite a large bird as there is alot of bone. So consider that when buying duck and presumably goose.
All in all whilst I enjoyed the duck wraps, this is not a meal I will be doing again in a hurry.

Cheese eggs, NY rib eye steak with red onions and a tortilla of course.
Today I made Gyoza for the first time. My folding skills are crap so I gave up after a while
Pork mince, diced mushroom, Chile pepper, spring onion, grated ginger, crushed garlic, chopped coriander/cilantro and chopped cabbage. I also added, garlic powder, onion powder, maggi liquid seasoning and soy sauce
Mix it all up
I used a teaspoon to drop them in the wraps. These were the pancakes I used for the duck a few weeks ago. I wetted the edges with water and folded over squeezing all the air out to seal them.
Shallow fried them in vegetable oil, the steamed them by dropping a little water in the pan then covering.
I'm never buying these again. You can make these in advance and freeze them. Next time I'll make them with my 7 year old cousin. He loves to eat them, he may as well learn to make them.

Good post. I never thought about making these on my own.
Yesterday I made fish tacos, I also made queso for the first time.
Beer battered white fish, pico di gallo, a yogurt dressing with fresh garlic, fresh lime juice, honey, salt and harissa paste and queso.
Queso - I made my regular roux based cheese sauce then added,decided chillies, chopped red onion and cilantro.

The whole thing can be made in advance, the meat mix can be made and frozen, or you can make the whole thing and freeze on a tray before transferring to a ziplock bag. Hopefully your folding skills are better than mine.
