Weekly Wanderings 2020/2
We’re starting to really get into the groove of cooking and filming videos for our YouTube channel, and I’m having a lot of fun with it! Is there anything you’d like to see me cook? Coming up very soon… something spicy with black sesame seeds. I promise I’m not diseased, even though it looks like
Golden Egg Curry
Golden egg curry… sounds like something straight out of a fable, right? This recipe is from the Burma cookbook, at the request of another one of our community members – TheBardVyune!

Bacon-wrapped shrimp with a honey-mustard dipping sauce
Today we are cooking from Matt Armendariz’s cookbook, On A Stick, at the request of a viewer from our Twitch community, busdriv3r! A lot of times, I think the assumption with a cookbook like this is that it would be a bit gimmicky. But he’s got a ton of amazing-sounding recipes – from Japanese tofu

Furikake

Furikake is a Japanese seasoning that is often sprinkled over rice, which is rather fitting because the word “furikake” comes from the phrase “furi kakeru”, which means “to sprinkle over” in Japanese. At its base, it’s often just salt, sugar, sesame seeds,
Pancit
On our Twitch cooking stream, we had a loyalty point system called fishcoins. If a viewer gathered enough fishcoins, they could redeem them to help choose something for me to make on stream. Many of the redemptions were cookbooks or countries – you could pick one, and then I’d choose a recipe to cook from
Teriyaki Sauce
teri•yaki Teri refers to the shine that the sauce gives to the food. Yaki is a method of grilling or broiling food. Here in the US, ‘teriyaki’ has come to refer to the sauce that uses the same flavors as the Japanese teriyaki, rather than to the specific cooking method. Shoyu and sugar always make
