Totally Not Authentic But Super Delicious Instant Pot Red Coconut Curry Noodles

By -



This was good, but John thought it was a bit bland. However, it does have potential, and it came from melskitchencafe.com. It needs a bit more flavor, so I added some curry powder after the fact and that helped. You can add a lot more things to the sauce to kick it up a notch. The sauce thickens as it cools.
Totally Not Authentic But Super Delicious Instant Pot Red Coconut Curry Noodles
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 16 ounces fettuccine noodles, broken in half We used rice noodles
  • 1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk, light or regular We used lite, but it needed some more kick, so soy sauce might also be good
  • 1/4 cup sweet Thai chili sauce (see note)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger or ginger paste Go generous with this
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste (see note) I would at least double this, if not more and the Mae Ploy brand is the best
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced I would double this, plus some
  • 1 teaspoon salt (I use coarse, kosher salt)
  • 1 cup snow peas, halved or whole We also used mushrooms, shrimp (thawed and pre-cooked), green onions, yellow onion chunks, spinach, cilantro, lime juice, and edamame
  • 1 red bell pepper, cored and sliced into strips
  • 1 cup small diced carrots or matchstick carrots
  • Fresh, chopped cilantro and chopped peanuts, for serving (optional)
So,. you put 2 cups of broth in the bottom of the InstaPot, then, layer the noodles in alternating directional layers (it took me about 6 layers for a pound of rice noodles), and then put the remaining 2 cups of broth on top. Combine the coconut milk and seasonings and then pour that over the top. Don’t stir. I brought my pressure cooker to heat and then as soon as it came to heat I released the pressure. Then, you put your vegetables in and put the lid back on for about 5 minutes.

Sourdough, version 4, aka version Mel

By -

This is my personal favorite.—it is a combination of the sourdough recipe from Nancy Beykirch with the Tartine method. It is sour but the texture is also great. Leaven: 1/2 cup sourdough starter 1/2 cup water 2/3 cups bread flour Combine ingredients and let sit 12 hours. Then, combine the leaven (mine was about 290 grams) 860 grams white flour 100 grams wheat flour 700 grams water 22 grams salt You mix this then let it sit for 40 minutes. Then, you put it in a big bowl and let it rise for 5 hours. For the first 2-3 hours, turn in every 30 minutes where you pull the dough to the opposite side, rotate the bowl by 4ths, do the same thing. Then, you put it on a floured surface. This dough is sticky, so you might need a good deal of flour. divide and shape into 2 loaves, then let sit 30 minutes. Then, kind of reshape them and put them in a pot. Let them rise for 3 hours. Then, score them. Bake at 425 for 20 minutes, then lid off the dutch oven for the final 20 minutes.

Grandma Goodsell's Whole Wheat Bread

  So, my Grandma Goodsell is the one who instilled a love of bread making in me. I owe a lot to her guidance when I was a kid. We finally tracked down her recipe after we thought it was lost all those years ago, and I made it yesterday. I give it a 9, but that’s probably a lot of nostalgia. Either way, it is a very, very solid bread recipe. I put my changes below in bold. Grandma Goodsell's Whole Wheat Bread Mix 2 ½ T yeast and 1 T sugar in 1 C water, and let set for 10 minutes. I used instant yeast, so I decreased this to 5 tsp. of yeast 3 C milk 2 C water ½ C honey ½ C shortening 2 T salt 2 T molasses 5 ½ C whole wheat flour 7 ½ C white flour I also added 2 heaping spoonfuls of wheat gluten Combine milk, honey, shortening, salt, and molasses in a saucepan and heat until shortening melts. Stir in 2 Cups cold water and combine with yeast mixture. Pour mixture into mixing bowl and add flours one cup at a time alternating between white and wheat (1 C white, 1 C wheat, 1 C white, ...

Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs

Oh, how I love me a pressure cooker that cuts down on dishes and produces the exact same results. This is good because it's pasta and meatballs. I would have to really be coerced to make it any other way again because this is just SO easy. My one complaint is that it was very rich in tomato flavor because it calls for twice as much sauce as when I make it the traditional way. I think I might increase the water and use less sauce next time. Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs 1 pound lean ground beef or ground turkey I just did my own meatballs already premade 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves garlic, finely minced) I just did my own meatballs already premade Salt and pepper 16 ounces uncooked spaghetti noodles (see note) I think our spaghetti is almost 18 oz 1 teaspoon dried basil I used fresh 40 ounces jarred spaghetti/marinara sauce (see note) I did 2 Trader Joe's vodka sauces that are 25 oz. each 3 1/2 cups water Freshly grated Parmesan and ...
