The chicken itself is probably fine. It would taste like any sauced chicken you get at an American Chinese restaurant.

That rice was heinous though.

The chicken itself is probably fine.

Duck a'laronge is fine. The acidic drink might even have worked as a marinade. We have coq au vin as well.

One time I made chicken with pears and pear cider. It worked well.

I think this dish is better than it's made out to be.

Fuck that rice though

It's made with ~11 cubes of sugar for a single portion. She just made awful rice with candy.

[-] Capsaicin1337@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Look again. It is fanta zero. British food at its finest. Be happy she did not boil the rice in fanta

You won't belive how much sugar is in fruit

https://health.clevelandclinic.org/fruits-high-in-sugar

Grams of sugar in one large orange: 17.2.

The internet says one sugar cube is 4 grams. Let's be kind to me and round down the cubes of sugar to 10 and round up the sugar in the orange to 20.

Basically, if you made duck a la orange with 2 oranges, you'd be using the same amount of sugar.

It's not that divorced from the reality of the situation expected in kitchens.

The sugar in fruit is fructose and is healthy, contrary to refined sugars.

[-] ebolapie@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Fruit is healthy in moderation because of all the fiber. Soda also contains primarily fructose.

[-] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 months ago

Whatttt xD nothing you say makes sense lol

[-] ebolapie@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Soda contains primarily fructose as a sugar, either because they put the fructose in when they made it via high fructose corn syrup or because the sucrose (from cane sugar) is broken down into fructose + glucose by the acid in the soda. It is not the type of sugar that makes fruit healthier than soda. Rather, it's the other stuff in fruit. When it comes to glycemic index (how quickly the food raises your blood sugar) fiber is the hero, because it slows the absorption of the sugar by your gut, which means fruit doesn't spike your blood sugar nearly as quickly as sugared soda. Fruit juice (which is basically fruit minus fiber) has a shockingly similar glycemic index to Coca-Cola.

Sorry for all the parentheticals. I am not a very good writer.

you did a great job explaining and helping get my point across.

[-] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I did not expect the rice to be the part that made me the most sad.

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Can't tell if she over cooked her rice or undercooked her congee

[-] Senal@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago
[-] awfulawful@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago

Rice is wetter than an otter's pocket.

[-] Gnugit@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago

Is she related to Jamie Oliver?

[-] cosmictrickster@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

No, Jamie would have put the teaspoon of oil aside and poured the rest of the bottle in. Then used the remaining teaspoon as a serving garnish.

[-] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.wtf 1 points 2 months ago

Putting that nasty concoction aside, here's how you cook rice properly.

Put a cup of rice in a small saucepan, wash it until the water is clear. Add enough water so it comes up to the top of your thumbnail, about 3/4" above the level of the rice.

Put it on high heat and leave it until it starts to bubble like crazy. Remove from heat, put the lid on the pan and leave it for 15 minutes.

Save leftover rice in the fridge for the best fried rice the next day.

Very clever using imgur so we can't defend ourselves because we can't see the image.

^we probably deserve it though^

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

RULE BRITANNIA, BRITANNIA RULES THE WAVES.

From the country that brought you Brexit means Breakfast

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Fruit juice with poultry and rice is mostly south-asian or indian cuisine, no?

Edit: oh, it's Fanta. Gross.

[-] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

All it’s missing some peas and gravy

[-] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space -1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Raw chicken on a wooden chopping block… that’s not a good idea is it? (I mean in addition to the other stuff)

[-] awfulawful@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago

It's perfectly fine if you maintain your cutting board properly. In that case it is safer than plastic.

[-] MJKee9@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Wash it with soap and water, then let it dry. The wood itself is naturally anti-microbial, so it will sanitize itself as it dries.
