  • I’m breaking my 2 month interaction hiatus on this thread to spread the gospel of the 6 minute egg. Literally just boil an egg for 6 minutes, peel, and shove into face. If you wanna get fancy and/or you like ramen, make a mixture of ¼ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup mirin, ¼ cup sake or water, 1 tsp sugar per 4 eggs you’re cooking. After boiling and peeling, submerge the eggs in the mixture and soak in a covered container overnight (or at least 4 hours). Doesn’t get any better.




  • Looking back, I actually missed an ingredient. The glaze was 2 parts ginger honey, 2 parts hot honey, 1 part orange blossom honey, plus the garlic. The orange did a really good job of mellowing out the hot honey and rounding the flavors out. If you ever get the opportunity, I would very seriously recommend getting a smoker. It’s a lot of fun to do, and the food is great.



  • I will tell you the recipe I used is really excellent. Very simple, easy ingredients. The most important thing this recipe gives you is the drying step. Drying the fish in the fridge overnight develops a pellicle on the meat, which seals the juices in the fish to keep it tender, and it gives a tacky surface that the smoke sticks to. Definitely not something I would have thought to do, that’s for sure.
