Spaghetti With a Twist

Today I start my journey through seven days of cooking different recipes. My first recipe will be spaghetti. Although it seems like one of the quick easy meals for me I do mine a bit differently. I've grown up watching my mom and sister making spaghetti and even though I like it I prefer to put a twist and do it my own way. So I start out by thawing out my ground beef wok (which is my favorite pot to make many of my dishes in) I place it on the stove and turn my heat on high. I throw my ground beef in the pot and use a fork to begin mashing the meat. As I'm mashing my meat I begin pouring my spices on the meat and mixing it all in I do this until the meat begins to brown. I dash over to my noodles scoop a noodle out give it a taste and turn off the fire. Just two days ago I bought something called a pot strainer which covers half the pot to strain the water without losing the contents inside the pot. I give it a shot and it worked so magically I pour all the water off and place the pot back on the stove to finish up my meat. My meat is looking good I give it a taste to make sure it has the right amount of seasoning and boy oh boy was it delicious. I grab my pot holders so I can pour off the oil. I don't have anything big enough to strain the oil off so as usual I just use the pot cover and tilt the pot slightly. Once I got as much oil as I can off I place the pot back on the stove place the fire on low and get to work to add the finishing touches. I pour in my onions first, pour my favorite three cheeses spaghetti sauce in, stir that a little bit I add some water to the spaghetti sauce bottle and pour that into the pot. I get another bottle of spaghetti sauce and only add half of the bottle in I love my spaghetti really saucy. This is where my twist comes in I add some Parmesan cheese, and three tbs of sugar. I mix this very well give it a quick taste and cover the pot I allow this to simmer on low heat for five minutes. Once the five minutes is up I turn off my fire wash my hands grab a plate and add my noodles then my sauce on top. For my first recipe, I have made spaghetti with my own little twist.

Bbq beef flanks, sweet corn, and white rice

Image
This is one of my favorite dishes although it takes forever to cook. I allowed my meat to marinate in my seasoning for two days just so all the flavors will combine well and be finger licking good. The spices I used are seasoning salt, garlic powder, onion powder, green seasoning, bbq sauce and a dash of mustard. Yes, I seasoned these with bbq sauce because it gives it such a kick that it is hard to explain. After two days of marinating these ribs are ready to go in the oven. I place the oven at 350 degrees while waiting for the oven to warm I placed my ribs on a sheet of foil and sealed it tightly. Once the oven was hot I slid my ribs in and started on my sides. The corn is the easy part because its can corn I just basically heat it up add a half of cup of sugar and a giant spoon of butter because I love butter. For my rice, I add two cups of white rice to a boiling pot of two cups of water a spoon of butter and a dash of salt. I kept my rice going for about an hour then wai...

Jasmine Rice, Honey Teriyaki Salmon, and Asparagus

Image
Today I've decided to try something new I've never made salmon but it is something I have always wanted to try. I guess I was scared because I didn't want to mess it up. I started but dabbing both sides of the fish dry with a paper towel. Once it was completely dry I proceeded to season it up while being gentle. I used garlic powder, fish and meat seasoning, onion powder, seasoning salt, and black pepper. I let the fish sit aside for about thirty minuted while I prepared the teriyaki sauce. This is my first time so I'm making this sauce how I think it should be. I got my wok added two cups of low sodium soy sauce, one cup of honey, a spoon of minced garlic and began stirring while it was on low heat. Once it began to simmer I gave it a taste and it was simply delicious. I let it cool for ten minutes because I just didn't want to add the hot mixture to the fish I turned my oven to 325. After ten minutes I poured the sauce to the fish and slide it into the oven. I p...

General Tso Chicken

Image
This was a bit complicated because of all the elements. I started by placing all my ingredients out to the side that consisted of one egg, a cup of flour, a sprinkle of salt, some onion powder, and garlic powder. I cracked the egg in a bowl and added a cup of water while mixing the spices in I beat it all together. After about two minutes I added a cup of water and cornstarch, once it was all combined I set it aside. I started my fire with a cup of vegetable oil, I would be using two chicken breast that I cut into cubes. I placed the chicken into the mixture and let it sit for about five minutes. Once the oil heated I began adding my chicken in as far away from each other as possible so that they wouldn't stick together. When the chicken was crispy to my liking I placed it on a plate with a napkin to drain all the oil off. I washed the pot and placed some more oil and put the chicken back in so it would be really crunchy even after the sauce is added to it. I only let the chicke...
