Can't tell if she over cooked her rice or undercooked her congee

Very clever using imgur so we can't defend ourselves because we can't see the image.
^we probably deserve it though^
The chicken itself is probably fine. It would taste like any sauced chicken you get at an American Chinese restaurant.
That rice was heinous though.
The chicken itself is probably fine.
Duck a'laronge is fine. The acidic drink might even have worked as a marinade. We have coq au vin as well.
One time I made chicken with pears and pear cider. It worked well.
I think this dish is better than it's made out to be.
Fuck that rice though
I think this dish is better than it's made out to be.
It's made with ~11 cubes of sugar for a single portion. She just made awful rice with candy.
Look again. It is fanta zero. British food at its finest. Be happy she did not boil the rice in fanta

You won't belive how much sugar is in fruit
https://health.clevelandclinic.org/fruits-high-in-sugar
Grams of sugar in one large orange: 17.2.
The internet says one sugar cube is 4 grams. Let's be kind to me and round down the cubes of sugar to 10 and round up the sugar in the orange to 20.
Basically, if you made duck a la orange with 2 oranges, you'd be using the same amount of sugar.
It's not that divorced from the reality of the situation expected in kitchens.
The sugar in fruit is fructose and is healthy, contrary to refined sugars.
where do you think table sugar comes from?
Fruit is healthy in moderation because of all the fiber. Soda also contains primarily fructose.
Whatttt xD nothing you say makes sense lol
Soda contains primarily fructose as a sugar, either because they put the fructose in when they made it via high fructose corn syrup or because the sucrose (from cane sugar) is broken down into fructose + glucose by the acid in the soda. It is not the type of sugar that makes fruit healthier than soda. Rather, it's the other stuff in fruit. When it comes to glycemic index (how quickly the food raises your blood sugar) fiber is the hero, because it slows the absorption of the sugar by your gut, which means fruit doesn't spike your blood sugar nearly as quickly as sugared soda. Fruit juice (which is basically fruit minus fiber) has a shockingly similar glycemic index to Coca-Cola.
Sorry for all the parentheticals. I am not a very good writer.
There's a difference between the fructose in fruit and stuff like high fructose corn syrup. Fructose is healthy in certain doses, like when eating fruit. When eating more than the amount found naturally in fruit it becomes unhealthy.
When you make fruit juice, you don't juice one piece of fruit but a number of them. This way the sugar concentration becomes higher, which can be of the level of coca cola of you use enough fruit.
But in soda usually HFCS is used and sometimes sucrose. But HFCS is also a mixture of fructose and sucrose.
There's a difference between eating 4 apples and drinking juice/soda with sugar content similar to 20 apples, but refined sugars instead.
Also the sugar molecules found in fruit are not the same as the ones in corn or pure refined fructose. One is better than the other.
What is the difference between the fructose in an orange and the fructose in HFCS? Like if I presented you with two molecules of fructose, how would you tell which came from an orange and which came from coke? It seems to me like you are repeating my point back to me, which is that it is the vehicle through which the fructose is introduced to the body that makes a difference, rather than one sugar being fundamentally different from the other.
Why would the concentration increase if I juice two apples instead of one? The quantity of juice produced would surely increase, but why would the concentration without further processing?
Sucrose is unstable in the environment of a soda can. It breaks down into fructose and glucose. Depending on the amount of time the soda has been canned it might contain zero sucrose.
Back in school in chemistry they covered sugars. The fructose in fruit and HFCS are different molecules. HFCS is a mixture of refined fructose (different from natural fructose in fruit molecular wise) and sucrose. Just because they're both called fructose doesn't mean the molecules are the same. Just like alcohol. There are many different types of alcohol, like ethanol and spiritus. Both of which can't be consumed safely and are different to the alcohol we do consume.
Here's a Wikipedia page on fructose. As you can see there isn't just one type of molecule.
Here's a page on HFCS
That rice could probably have been cooked for another hour or two. I mean, I'm sure that you can still see the individual grains.
Yeah, I did not expect the rice to be the part that made me the most sad.
Is she related to Jamie Oliver?
Must be ragebait, right?
Putting that nasty concoction aside, here's how you cook rice properly.
Put a cup of rice in a small saucepan, wash it until the water is clear. Add enough water so it comes up to the top of your thumbnail, about 3/4" above the level of the rice.
Put it on high heat and leave it until it starts to bubble like crazy. Remove from heat, put the lid on the pan and leave it for 15 minutes.
Save leftover rice in the fridge for the best fried rice the next day.
Fruit juice with poultry and rice is mostly south-asian or indian cuisine, no?
Edit: oh, it's Fanta. Gross.
I remember this american lady that would use coca cola on a LOT of her recipes.
What's wrong with this ppl! The other day an american was using a uranium green soda to cook chicken.
I mean soda as glaze is not uncommon. Coca cola can be used as a glaze base for pork spare ribs in chinese cooking. It's basically just a sweet dark glaze at that point
I've seen people use soda in seafood boil as well but no clue if that tastes good.
The rice was pretty bad though. Thats the you should probably just buy a rice cooker kinda rice
Raw chicken on a wooden chopping block… that’s not a good idea is it? (I mean in addition to the other stuff)
It's perfectly fine if you maintain your cutting board properly. In that case it is safer than plastic.
Wash it with soap and water, then let it dry. The wood itself is naturally anti-microbial, so it will sanitize itself as it dries.
