I rolled a random country and got China, so today I'm going to try cooking a Chinese dish. To be honest, I rolled Nigeria and Togo before that, but I the ingredients are not available here, unfortunately. I'm going to try cooking sweet-and-sour pork, a traditional Chinese dish. Despite visiting China a couple of times, I've never tried it there. Only the local takeout. In addition, I am going to bake an apple pie.

First, take a pound of pork and mince it on one-inch cubes. Mix it with green onions, one egg white, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon of sugar. Cover it and put it in a cold place to marinate for at least an hour.

While it is marinating, let's make dough for the apple pie. Break 3 eggs into the bowl.

Using the mixer, beat the eggs until they increase in volume. Then, gradually, mix in 250 grams of sugar.

In the same way mix in 250 grams of flour. In the end add a pinch of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and a tablespoon of smetana.

Cut 1 kg of apples, preferably sour, in thin slices. You can peel them if you want. I wish I had kitchen scales.

Looks interesting

Butter up the baking mold or whatever you have and put some flour on the surfaces.

Put the apples in the pan, then pour the doug on top of it. It feels that the dough is too thick and/or there's not enough of it. I hope it turns out okay.

Looks delicious, fren.

I think your pie is gonna get scorched with that pan.

What a nice thread
Hope it turns out Mr Russian =)

Dough is supposed to be tough, dry, and muscle-like. What you made there is batter.

Now we have to preheat the oven to 180°C. I'll eat some candied ginger. It's delicious.

These are the best threads

I have doubts about this pan too, but it's too late now. Shove it in the oven for 40 minutes.

The meat has finished marinating. Now we have to mix it with 1/2 cup of cornstarch. It feels really weird to the touch. Then we have to preheat a lot of oil to deep fry it. I have never deep fried anything in my life, so I'm a bit afraid. Also, the recipe doesn't say anything about what I should do about the green onions, it just says "deep fry the pork".
I have a question - how does one cook rice without making lumpy and sticky?

Wash the rich thoroghly, until the water isnt cloudy. I add more water than rice, usually a cup of water more. Think you are suppose to garnish the dish with green onions

The best way to lower food into a pan for frying is by using a spatula/spoon and some other kind of utensil.

Thanks. Will try that.
But the recipe says to add the onion in the marinade. It's too late to separate it, so I'll just throw it in the pan along with the meat.

Lowering it with the spatula did the job. Thanks. I expected an oil explosion. Now we have to fry it until it's evenly browned.

if i had any money at all i would do one of these threads every wednesday

Make sure the onions dont explode in the heat. I heard that can happen

Let's prepare the rice. I washed it thoroughly according to the instruction.
Why Wednesday?
They don't seem to explode. At least yet.

dont you usually do these on weekends? i would be like the mid week backup chef.

Ah, you're right. That makes sense.

I wish I can show you guys some cooking stuff, but I can't cook. Maybe Ill show you guys me getting chicken wings or smt in the future

In Taiwan we cook rice with a cooker

just follow a recipe and it shouldnt be too hard, start on simpler recipes and ease into more complex/difficult ones. maybe it will look fucked up but it might still taste alright

Drain the oil on paper towels.
I have a cooker, but its bowl is occupied with buckwheat.

Now heat up some oil, add green bell pepper and onion. Season with salt and pepper, fry until tender. You're supposed to do it in a wok, but I don't have one.

I meant sugar here, not pepper.

I bet it smells great :3

Set the mixture aside. We'll need another pan, but I only have one good one, so I'll have to wash it again. We don't have hot water since Monday, so it's not very pleasant.

looks good.
>no hot water
that blows. any idea what happened?

your threads are the best thing on Jow Forums russianon

In the pan mix 1 cup of water, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 3/4 cup of sugar, 1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar (I will use white wine vinegar instead. I looked it up online, people say that it should not change much), 1/4 cup of ketchup, 1/2 teaspoon of soy sauce. Bring it to a boil. What a strange mix.
Annual maintenance. They were supposed to finish it last Friday, but they actually broke the piper during the maintenance, so they need another week to fix it.

ah, bummer.

interesting mix indeed

The pie went out of the pan surprisingly easy. I decided to sprinkle it with sugar powder and cinnamon.

Rice is done. Thanks to the Canadian user, it's very nice.

They do really looks good

yum

Now, put the meat and the pepper-onion mixture into the pan, add a can of pineapple pieces along with the juice, bring it to a boil again, and cook until well blended. Not sure what that even means.

Looks more like apple cake but looks rly good
>cook until well blended
Think you have to reduce the sauce until it becomes sticky like pic related

You're right! I forgot to add cornstarch.
The apartment is under renovation. When I reach the kitchen, everything will be replaced. Will take care of the new kitchen better.
