Mix 2 different instant noodle products, Carbonara Buldak and Neoguri and create a sodium overload saucy cheesy ramen. We only have it max twice a month though because it’s so high in sodium.
Shin Ramyun + Easy Mac. (make with less water)
I bake a mean creamy chicken (like you'd find in a pot pie) but, for whatever fucking reason, I absolutely love that flavor spliced with white vinegar. I have a deep love of pushing tangy sour to the border of spiciness.
Ever try it with malt vinegar?
Yup, that's also pretty good! I think it pairs better with white vinegar though.
I've seen that flavor profile referred to as "squirrel gravy."
A strong acidic zing is missing from a lot of dishes.
Generally I keep white vinegar around specifically for its chemical properties rather than its flavor, though.
Two pieces of white bread, mayo, thick slices of tomato and a bunch of black pepper.. Not sure how terrible it is, but I don't generally serve it to others because it's very messy.
I toast my bread, then do mayo or butter, thick slices of tomato, and salt. Some pepper sometimes.
Toasted tomato open faced sandwich!
But I would serve that to guests. I don't see why not.
I am disappointed with all of you. Please go to your room.
Sorry dude, that room is the kitchen.
Earlier this week I had curry on nacho chips because I made some really good curry and did not have the energy to make the actual nacho accoutrements that I had planned on doing
It was great
Oh man, that reminds me of a place near me that does palak paneer fries. It's like Indian poutine. Amazing.
Raw chickpeas. The small, black kind. I soak them overnight in cold water, and have them for breakfast along with a shot of espresso.
I got it from my dad. He used to have them with tea.
I knew someone who would eat a tomato for dinner with a few slices of carrots. Nothing baked, just a plain uncut tomato and slices of carrots.
I'm talking a functionnal human being, knowing the concept of cooking and the ability to walk to their kitchen with such a "dish" as they would call it. Not vegetarian either. They did like meat and whatnot. Saddest "meal" I've ever had the horror to lay my eyes upon.
I don’t care much about the what but the how. Biting into a whole tomato WILL make a mess. Simply cutting it in half greatly reduces the chance of that. If they already had a knife why not use it on the tomato. People are weird.
Germany has brands of bottled curry sauce that are great on white rice.
I've never seen them in the US... but mayonnaise and curry powder is close enough.
Ranch noodles, though, I've served to guests all the time. It is exactly what it sounds like. You squirt ranch dressing all over fresh elbow / corkscrew pasta, and ideally cool overnight. It's two-ingredient pasta salad. Ranch is buttermilk, garlic, dill, and a bunch of other spices. Great as a side. Add pepper.
I made a face reading that until you said "ideally cool overnight" and it immediately sounded like I want to try it as a pasta salad.
Mustard bread. I'm dead serious.
Edit to clarify: just a slice of bread with a heap of mustard rushedly spread on it. I either go for honey mustard if I'm looking for a bit of pep, or whole grain Dijon for savouring.
My invented dish I call "Scrumpy". You take fries or fried potatoes, equal amount lettuce broken up like for a salad, chicken, then top it with chicken or beef gravy and chopped green onions. To really take up the indulgence level you can add ~~southern~~ hot sauce like Frank's, and some Cajun seasoning.
It started because of my great love of poutine, and wondering how I could make it into a healthier full meal. I've done a million variations on it, too. Stir fried cabbage and onion instead of lettuce. Corned beef instead of chicken. Adding a fried egg on top... Very flexible weeknight meal.
I would absolutely serve this to someone if it ever came up, but it never has.
Fresh tomato and dry roasted peanuts.
Actually I might try it on someone ...
I'm trying to envision this. Is the tomato sliced or diced? Are the peanuts whole or crushed? Is this a spoon dish or do you use your hands?
These are all questions I didn't know I had. OP, please indulge us!
