The sous-vide cooker is the best way to guarantee the juiciest, tenderest, most flavor-packed chicken salad. Adding aromatics directly to the cooking bag guarantees more flavorful results.
Smash Your Cucumbers for a Smashingly Simple Chinese Side Dish
One thing you'll quickly notice about Sichuan cuisine beyond the spicy stuff, is their love of fresh, crunchy pickles. No meal is complete without a dish of cold, vinegary vegetables, whether it's turnip, cabbage, peanuts, or cucumbers. Think of them as a palate cleanser between bites of the heavier stuff. Sichuan-style smashed cucumbers are the simplest example of one of these dishes, and coincidentally my favorite one.
Making excellent tomato soup from scratch at home is almost as easy as simply opening a can, and the return on your minor time investment is significant.
An easy potato-leek soup that takes no shortcuts to deliver the best flavor and texture possible. A touch of buttermilk and potatoes pressed through a ricer are the secret.

***RECIPE, MAKES FOUR LARGE PRETZELS***
1 cup (237mL) water
bread flour (about three cups, 360g, but it really depends so just go by feel)
1 tablespoon melted butter (or oil)
1 teaspoon dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt (for the dough)
coarse salt for topping
baking soda to make washing soda (I use whole box and save the rest for next time)
To convert baking soda (sodium hydrogencarbonate) to washing soda (sodium carbonate), pour the baking soda in a pot and turn the heat on high. Stir the pan frequently to make sure all the powder heats evenly. Eventually you'll start to see little plumes of gas escaping, especially when you stir the powder. (It'll look most dramatic if you give the pan a vigorous shake). This is water and carbon dioxide leaving the pan. Keep cooking until you no longer see any signs of gas when you agitate the powder — it takes me about 15 minutes. If everything went well, the powder should weight a little less than 2/3rds of what it weighed originally. Let cool and keep dry in a sealed nonreactive container — plastic is good. It's mildly caustic, so try not to let it sit on your skin for too long, try not to get it in your eyes or breath a lot of it in, etc.
To make the dough, combine the water, sugar, butter, yeast, salt and as much flour as you can stir in with a spoon. Cover and let sit for 20 minutes (this would be a good time to make your washing soda). After it's sat, it will be much easier to knead in some more four — enough to get a smooth dough ball that's just barely sticky. Cover and let rise until about doubled, 1-2 hours.
Take the risen dough ball out and cut it into quarters. Roll each quarter up into a little log (see video), cover, and let sit for at least 30 min before shaping. To shape, lightly flour your counter, grab a dough log and use flat hands to roll the outer arms of the dough thin while leaving fat belly of the dough intact (again, see video). Roll the rope of dough longer than you think you want it. Grab the ends and make a U shape, twist the ends and then flop them over the belly of the dough (again, see vid). Once shaped, cover and let proof for about 30 min until puffy, or don't. Some Germans prefer to cook them right away for a denser texture.
It's much easier to boil the pretzel dough if it's cold — almost frozen solid. I recommend putting the fully-proofed doughs in the freezer for 20-30 min while you pre-heat the oven (425ºF/220ºC, or a little hotter if you like darker, crispier pretzels) and bring your washing soda bath to a boil.
Get a wide, deep pan of water for the washing soda bath, and a wide, deep bowl of plain water for rinsing the pretzels after the bath. Turn heat on high and dissolve about as much of your washing soda into the water in the pan as possible, but be conservative — it's better to have a solution that's not fully saturated vs a solution with big washing soda particles floating around in it (they could stick to the pretzel and taste bitter).
The water should be clear after a couple minutes of heating and stirring. Anything between a bare simmer and a full boil is fine. (This solution is mildly caustic, but not super dangerous. If you get it on your hands, wash it off, but you're unlikely to get a chemical burn unless you bathe in it.)
When the pretzels are firm, drop them in the hot water and cook for about 15 seconds — I recommend doing this one at a time. Transfer to the bowl of plain water and rinse clean (the solution tastes bitter). Transfer to a baking sheet and top with coarse salt while it's still wet (the water will hold the salt in place). Repeat with the other pretzels, and if you want you can score the fat belly of each with a knife to let it puff up more in the oven.
Bake until very brown, about 15 minutes. To make the pretzels shinier, you can spray them or paint them with water once or twice during the bake. Easier, though less effective, is to do the same right after they finish baking but are still hot.
Having a reliable Sourdough Starter is an essential for any serious baker. You can ask a friend to borrow some of theirs, but it's super easy to make your own. I've broken my process down into three stages to make it easy and demystify the process.

RECIPE
CAPTURE STAGE
•DAY 1 (hour 0)
Into a tall container with a lid, measure 150g of filtered or distilled room temperature (68°-78°F or 20°-25°C) water and 100g of whole grain rye flour. Stir. Place a lid on the container, loosely, and let sit at room temperature.
•DAY 2 (24 hours later)
Remove/discard 1/2 of the rye flour/water mixture from yesterday (you don't need to be super precise at this point). Into your container with the remaining 1/2 of the mixture, add 150g room temp water and 100g whole grain rye flour. Stir to combine. Cover loosely and let sit at room temperature.
CULTIVATE STAGE
•DAY 3 (24 hours later, 48 hours into the process)
Measure 75g of your flour/water starter mix from yesterday and discard the rest . Return only the 75g of starter to your jar and add 75g of room temperature water, 35g of all purpose flour, and 35g of rye flour. Stir and cover with a loose lid. Let sit at room temperature.
•DAY 4 (24 hours later, 72 hours into the process)
Repeat process from day 3.
•DAY 5 (24 hours later, 96 hours into process)
Repeat process from day 3.
MAINTENANCE STAGE
•DAY 6 (24 hours later, 120 hours into process)
Your starter is now ready to use for baking. To maintain it (from this point through forever), measure 25g of starter from the day before and discard the rest. To that 25g of starter, add 50g room temp water and 50g ap flour. Stir, cover with a loose lid and let sit at room temperature. Do this daily, every 24 hours, to maintain your starter if you're a casual baker. If you bake a lot OR if you've had your starter in the fridge and you need to get it ready to bake again, feed once every 12 hours.
If you’re not baking often, keep your starter covered in the fridge and feed once monthly. When bringing it back into active rotation, feed it once every 12 hours for a couple of days until it’s bubbling and active again.

RECIPES
---------------------
4 MINUTE QUICK & EASY:
•Squishy brioche bun (store bought is fine)
•American cheese slice
•Egg
•Thinly sliced ham
Toast cut side of bun, cook egg + add cheese and allow to melt. Add sliced ham to bun and top with cheesed egg. It's the best thing you can make in 4 minutes.
------
FROM SCRATCH BREAKFAST SANDWICH:
ENGLISH MUFFIN:
•140g or 1/2c warm water (86F/30C)
•2g or about 3/4tsp instant yeast
•10g or 3/4Tbsp olive oil
•90g or 3/4c sourdough starter or poolish (see below)
•250g or 1 1/2c AP Flour (11.7% protein)
•4g or 3/4tsp salt
Add ingredients to bowl and mix with a sturdy spoon to combine. Continue to mix with a wet hand by squeezing until homogenous and a dough has formed. Cover and allow to rise at room temp for 30min. Strengthen dough by folding as shown @5:31. Cover and allow to rise at room temp for another 30 minutes. Repeat strength-building fold. Cover and allow to rise for 60 minutes at room temp.
Turn out the dough onto a floured work surface. Divide into six 75g pieces.
Liberally dust a tray with cornmeal. Shape each piece of dough as shown @6:38. Place each shaped ball onto tray of cornmeal, making sure a good amount of cornmeal adheres to both top and bottom of each muffin ball. Cover with another tray or towel and allow to proof at room temp for 60-75min.
Add enough ghee or neutral oil to a pan over med-high to coat the bottom of the pan. I'm using about 1/4c or 60g for my 12" pan. When oil is preheated, add in English muffins. Cook on side one for 1.5-2min until golden. Fry on the second side for about 2 min. Transfer browned muffins to a sheet tray fitted with a wire rack then finish by baking in 350F/170C preheated oven for 12min.
------
SAUSAGE:
•450g or 1lb ground pork
•8g salt
•4g black pepper
•1g dried thyme
•5g minced garlic
•5g minced ginger
•2g fresh sage, chopped
•5g apple cider vinegar
•15-20g maple syrup
Combine all ingredients and mix well. I recommend gloving up and mixing by hand, squeezing the meat.
Divide meat mix into 115g/4oz patties and smash each between parchment into very thin, flat, rounds. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
------
MAKING THE SANDWICH:
Preheat nonstick pan over med-high. Add neutral oil and a pre-smashed sausage patty, pressing down to maximize browning/surface area. Cook on side one for about 90 sec or until nicely brown. Flip and continue cooking on the second side for about 30 sec, adding thick slice of aged cheddar while side 2 cooks.
To cook the egg, add oil to pan over low, and add egg white, allowing white to cook for 15-20 seconds before adding yolk to the middle of the white. Hit the egg with salt and pepp. Add a bit of water to the pan, cover, and allow to cook for about 60 seconds to steam and set up yolk a bit. Once the yolk is set to your desired level of runniness, it's done.
Cut english muffin in half and toast. To build, add cheesed sausage to english muffin, followed by egg, and finally a 50/50 mix of hot sauce and hot honey. Enjoy that thing.
------
TO MAKE POOLISH: combine 45g AP flour + 45g warm water (86F/30C) + small pinch of yeast. Mix, cover, and allow to sit at room temp over night or for about 12 hours.
TO MAKE STARTER check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHm1aKxAsIs. The night before you make the English muffins, prepare the starter by discarding all but 25g of starter and adding 45g water 45g flour. You'll use 90 grams the next day.
