Never thought of that! Will definitely give that a go 🙏🍗✨

Thanks so much for your Southern Hospitality! 🤍😭 I will definitely not give up on buttermilk fried chicken, will give the eggs method a go for next time! 🙏🍗

You could be on to something! Now that I think about it, since the karaage chicken recipe just goes straight into the eggs then starch, and it’s getting an even coating of egg. More so than mixing the eggs into buttermilk.. It’s my first time using egg in the process for buttermilk fried chicken this time though. I did use 6 (2 larger, 4 smaller) thighs - and I use a blend of olive x canola oil 🤔 in the past I used only olive oil

So many contributing factors it’s hard to find the culprit! 😭

I used this recipelast from Serious Eats where they whisked two eggs into the buttermilk mixture, so I just made another batch of buttermilk mix (seasoned with smoked paprika, garlic and onion powder, dried basil, dried ginger, mustard powder, salt and pepper and some rub + hot sauce) and then whisked two eggs into that and went from the buttermilk marinade > potato starch > egg mixture > potato starch > hot oil 😭

But for Karaage chicken I whisk two eggs and put my chicken into the eggs after I marinate (overnight) and it’s honestly always perfect. It comes out as crunchy and crispy as pork belly crackling! I don’t know why I can never get that with buttermilk fried chicken 😭

I made a prawn bisque with fresh ravioli. The mirepoix for the bisque uses leeks. I used this recipe for the bisque and made fresh pasta with the prawn filling using egg white and chives with some Parmesan but ricotta works too. Lots of French dishes make great use of leeks, from bœf bourguignon to other wonderful dishes!

Tomatoes are beautiful in this dish too. For the seasoning just some cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric, salt and pepper.

Fry a small finely chopped red or brown onion and then add some minced garlic (2-3 cloves). At this stage I love to add some chopped tomato (just one) and cook it down until the liquid mostly disappears and then add the spices and combine to let the flavours meld together. Then add 2-3 beaten eggs and mix it through so that the onions and aromatics are evenly distributed. Whilst cooking just scramble to your liking, you can leave it as an omelette to set if you like too. I reccomend 1/2 tsp of each of the spices listed, and a green chilli finely chopped (seed removed if desired) adds a wonderful capsicum flavour to the dish- yum! It’s so simple but extremely delicious, I loved it in a bread roll or bun as a child for a breakfast sandwich

Edited to add qty of garlic and tomato* 🧄 🍅 🥚 🧅 🌶

Fried chicken breading comes out soggy & just slips off the chicken - help!

😭 I’ve tried it all you guys. I’ve tried half flour half corn starch, I’ve done 100% potato starch, adding eggs to the buttermilk batter, heating the oil to 350 - 375 (approx 175-190 Celsius) - and the breading always comes out a liiiittle bit crispy but the inside is no good and completely seperate a from the chicken.

If this subreddit allowed photos I would show you what I mean, a piece of chicken thigh just slipped out of the breading which is still in the same shape as the chicken that was inside it.

Now, when I make karaage chicken - it always comes out beautifully crispy, crunchy, and perfect. If I’m making Katsu chicken - again, soo crunchy and I use Panko breadcrumbs and a thin runny batter and it is like glass, just so crunchy and perfect. But any time I’m making a chicken burger (or sandwich depending on where you’re from), it has never been as perfect as the karaage chicken. Just a soggy, sometimes oily, gooey mess.

The primary differences is that for karaage chicken I marinate my thigh meat in mirin, sake, soy sauce, ginger, white pepper. I’ve read that if the chicken is too wet the coating will not stick, but obviously buttermilk fried chicken has to be wet before you place it into your breading mixture, so that doesn’t make sense. The meat is cooked (not raw) but the breading has never worked from me. Drizzling buttermilk over the flour makes it even worse!! Is it because I need to have a really big frying vessel? I use a medium size pot and do a few pieces at a time. 😭

Buttermilk Fried chicken hates me 😭 what tips and tricks do you guys have? TIA 🤍🤍

I have the same issue but in reverse, my ends all all curly and the roots to midshaft is straight. My hairdresser refuses to remedy it until 8 months have passed 😭 I only got it done February

Probably don’t do it on your own hair! Just to be safe, I think you should really consult with a professional at a salon, they should at least give you some tips on how to do it yourself! I had a friend from school get one done (she’s half Asian/white & her hair was pretty straight anyway, but her hair was always pin-straight at school after getting a relaxer). They might call it something else like “Japanese hair treatment” etc but they would 100% offer that treatment at most salons that do your hair texture! 😊

Hey love! There’s a page called Adelaide Birthing Network on Facebook, TONS of mums, midwives, students, doulas, etc on there if you need more reach!! It’s a very active page, you may already know about it but just thought I’d share incase you didn’t know! I will fill out your survey now :)

5000 x $99 = $495,000. Not a bad profit for the ol’ grifter. Plus the fees to butcher the animal. Last time he was selling “sheep” until he realised he was in fact selling mutton.

Damn but true tho 💯 if it was any other kind of controlling response to trauma it would immediately be recognised as red flag 🚩. We can’t go round projecting trauma from previous relationships on to innocent bystanders who come into our lives.

I had ORS by a professional and half my hair was completely relaxed dead straight from the roots of my hair to about halfway where it was completely and utterly frizzy. To combat this I literally have been plaiting my hair I to small braids every night before bed and then spending aaaaages every morning undoing each plait so it’s at least uniform curly and not looking like I half did my hair 😭 my mum keeps scolding me for straightening my roots and I’m like I literally am not even touching it. Smh

The last time I had ORS it was under processed but I was happy with the outcome. This time it’s a bit too underpocessed but then overdone on the top half of my hair.

Brah I’m 26 and have a 2 year old, that’s predator shit. Dude probably just finished or still is in Highschool

That needs a trigger warning that’s fucked up

Yawn… first it’s “why do Ethiopian men cheat all the time” now it’s why are Ethiopian women so unfaithful. Dumb ass post. How would you know what Married Ethiopian women are doing anyway, are you there watching in the bushes? Lol

Exactly, thank you. I understand the anatomical difference between prawn and American shrimp, I was going to comment that I only indicated (shrimp) for American users who literally go “huh?” If anyone mentions prawn but I didn’t want to get downvoted just for saying that it’s an American thing 🤦🏽‍♀️ I live in Australia 🇦🇺

Can I make prawn (shrimp) ravioli today but leave it raw in the fridge and cook tomorrow?Food Safety

Hey guys,

I am making a prawn bisque with ravioli for Mother’s Day dinner but we are taking it to my sister in law’s house and I am planning on pre assembling the ravioli tonight so I don’t have to be in the kitchen all day tomorrow since I’m doing the bisque sauce to go with it and we are leaving around 2pm

Would freshly made ravioli with prawns stay okay in the fridge until then, or should I freeze them first? Thanks !

Potato salad goes so hard! 🔥🙌 I usually do it with homemade fish and chips, but that sounds great with ribs 🤤

Smoking some beef ribs for the first time… what do I serve on the side?!

Hey hey! 🤠

I’m doing my first ever ribs (my partner usually does all the BBQ/grilling/smoking) and I have absolutely zero reference point as to what a good side dish would be. Usually I just do a Mediterranean salad with some corn or something, but this time I’m stumped.

Do I grill some veg? Make a coleslaw? What’s an elevated side dish to bring my BBQ smoked ribs up to a new level? What do YOU serve with smoked anything? 🥲

Thanks in advance!!

EDIT: Thank you so much everyone, some delicious recommendations out here 🔥🙌🍖
