S.I.P./Quarantine Cooking

Well, we are all in a mess, so lets have some fun and learn a few things along the way!  First and foremost might be that...you can make a burrito at home!!!  That's a bit facetious talking to this crowd here on THP, who have some of the maddest cooking skills on the interwhebz. 
 
SO, lets post what we are cooking at home, what is made from the pantry, what was out of but substituted, all basic cooking skills.....
 
I'll get it started!
 
A couple days ago, talking with my son who is now 21 and living on his own for the last 2 years, he said..."I gotta go, Mom, the roasted chicken is done.  We're gonna eat dinner now."  :sniff:  AWW!!!!  I'm a happy mom.....
 
 Here's what we did for family entertainment last weekend.  We rented Milo and Otis...for the DOG to watch!!!

what's in the meat drawer- pork chops
Pantry- wild rice (doctored up majorly!)
Breading with pantry crackers
tomatoes (cuz that was the best FRESH veg I could come up with.)

I didn't have Panko, so I blitzed some Mary's pepper crackers in the food processor with some flour,  added some spices and pepper powders, dredged the chops in seasoned egg/milk wash and then cracker crumbs.  Pan Fry in cast iron skillet with a bit of oil until golden brown and done.

Rice- Saute rice mix in some butter (ala Rice-A-Roni) until toasty nutty done.  Add water and chicken base/boullion, cook until done.  Key notes!  Use broth as the cooking liquid and saute the rice mix before with butter!  There are lots of quinoa, rice mixes....just don't cook with plain water.  Saute in olive oil/butter or not,  or not, but definitely use seasoning in the water.

I am at work at the moment and can't look sorry.

To be honest it probably doesn't have a brand on it. I bought it at one of those cheapy shops, cost about $15 I think. They are pretty common over here, most homes have one.

Korean kalbi ribs babaaaay!!!
 
More info!!!! Or recipe?

Im off to google....
 
Boss, i got that recipe, thanks! Xoxo to you too.

I'll look at recipes tomorrow. I dont know why they labeled it as 'texas style' ribs. I was thinking asian, and every Texas ribs search came up with long ribs and not these thin sliced ribs.


More googling in the morning.
 
If you have a decent butcher near you , ask for flanken cut/style short ribs and you won't have drive over mountains to get it again.

If you have fresh ones that you want to freeze, put it in whatever marinade you want on them and in a zip bag before freezing. I can't explain why but freezing and thawing in the marinade makes it better. Even if i buy fresh the day before i want to cook them ,i will marinade /freeze overnight , to thaw the next day before grilling.
