• The rice is in the cooker

    From Bryan Simmons@3:633/10 to All on Saturday, September 12, 2026 21:51:15
    I'll be staying up late enough to get it cooled down enough to put in in
    the fridge. I'll be doing steak in a very light brine, a cup of water
    with 2t salt and 1/2t STPP, then I'll do a quick rinse, and flour it in
    corn starch before frying in very hot oil. Then, I'll use that same oil
    to fry the rice, and remove it too. Then carrots, fresh water chestnuts,
    fresh ginger, onions, bean sprouts and bell peppers. I'll season it with tamari and cayenne, finally mixing back in the beef and fried rice.

    Separately, I'll be making scrambled egg and sauteed brown beech
    mushrooms to add at the table as folks wish. Extra tamari and cayenne as
    well.

    Always with the Tamari...

    Customers find this soy sauce delicious, noting it's not as salty as
    usual soy sauces and has a sweet flavor. Moreover, they appreciate its versatility, particularly for making teriyaki sauce and as a marinade,
    and consider it the only brand they buy. Customers describe it as mild
    and not overwhelming, and one customer mentions it lasts for years
    without refrigeration. However, the ingredients receive mixed reviews,
    with one customer noting that sugar is listed before soy in the
    ingredient list.

    +1!

    I think I'll stick with San-J tamari. I did add a couple pix. I made the mushrooms separate because my f-i-l doesn't really like mushrooms.
    Also,(not pictured) I made brown Basmati rice and scrambled egg to add.
