Cooking for Assholes: Blondes Thread

[Mr. Blonde]

Since coming to Korea I cook pretty much every day for lack of having a microwave, an oven, and mostly everything here being noodles or fried in batter, so I wing cooking pretty often with just random shit I buy at the grocery. I don't usually use recipes when I cook, probably because i'm so fucking awesome. Here are some of my recent ones.

Sweet Potato Bacon Soup

This one started out as just wanting potato soup, but I also had sweet potatoes and bacon, (plus carrots and onions) so I said fuck it.



Peel and boil all the veggies (except onion) for 10-15 minutes.



While that's happening, fry your bacon and cut up the onion.



Don't do this, you dumbass.



Those ingredients are done. Cut them accordingly into bite-sized pieces.



Sautee (sp?) the onions in butter in the soup pan.



Add some milk and the rest of the veggies.



Bring it to a boil, mixing in spices (I just used some salt and garlic powder.) Add the bacon.



Serve and enjoy that motherfucking shit.




All in all, it came out pretty well. The sweet potatoes were a nice touch and added a sweet taste to an otherwise boring meal. I wish I would have had more bacon.

Chicken with Veggies and Rice

This one is really simple, I make it pretty often to take to lunch to work.

These ingredients are chicken breast, sweet potato, carrot and zucchini, but you can really use whatever the fuck you want.



Usually I season the chicken with whatever spice is lying around and then cook it with oil first, as chicken takes longer to cook than the veggies.





Then you can add the rest of the veggies. You should try to add them at different times according how long it takes for them to cook, for example, sweet potato and carrot takes longer to cook than zucchini, because it's a lost softer of a vegetable. Also don't remember to add some water to your pan if it's cooking really dry. Lots of times the moisture inside the ingredients is good enough, but I left the heat on too high so I had to add some more.



This is usually when I add different seasoning (black pepper, salt, etc.) for the rest of the ingredients.



I usually pre cook a bunch of rice every week with a rice cooker and keep it stored in my fridge to add it as an extra ingredient to whatever i'm cooking. It's a hell of alot handier than boiling/cooking rice (which usually takes 20-30 min) every time you want to eat it (which is a lot if you can't eat wheat)



All cooked and ready to go.
