OK you are def a professional chef
Started by watchin mom and Grandma, Italian family so food was important and learned about contrasting and complimentary tastes/textures; a few jobs as a cook when young; then in college as a biochem major it all came together when I realized all cooking was chemistry and if you knew various tastes you can play and it will be edible.Where did you learn to cook?
I learned alot being a chef at country club, but born with a great pallet. I dont eat out much because i cook better then that crap. But look at me, i eat frozen pizza merely for substance heheheheimstoned
So the pork and baking soda/vinegar finished it's reaction after about ten minutes. The results were excellent. The meat had the silky texture that one gets from a good chinese restaurant (or I assume home cooking @neosapien ?). Very tender. Plus, the baking soda promoted the Maillard reaction so the meat got nice and brown very quickly.
It was my best stir fry yet.
Yum, love those. Are you going back to China this year?The wife's been on a cooking binge. Got a freezer full of fresh homemade pork dumplings now. The last 3 nights she's been making beef bāozi. Beef, green onion, ginger and leek.
