Then egg yolks are added with lemon juice and vanilla. Next the custard is poured into ramekins and baked in a water bath. After cooling and refrigerating, the ramekins are topped with sugar and caramelized with a torch.

This delicious Chinese recipe can be an entrée or side dish. Cabbage is cooked in a skillet until wilted. Then garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce and water are added to the pan. Next chow mein noodles are added. Everything is tossed together to make sure the noodles are coated before serving.
This chicken recipe is a quick and tasty entrée. Chopped chicken is coated in a batter made of flour, corn starch, baking powder, salt, and water. Then the chicken is cooked in an Instant Pot in oil on the sauté function. The chicken is removed from the pot and drained on paper towels. Next a sauce is made with ketchup, sugar, honey, soy sauce and water. After whisking the sauce together, the sauce is placed in the Instant Pot with the chicken and pressure cooked for four minutes.
A quote, a comic and a plan
“I’m going to break one of the rules of the trade here. I’m going to tell you some of the secrets of improvisation. Just remember—it’s always a good idea to follow the directions exactly the first time you try a recipe. But from then on, you’re on your own.” – James Beard
Sometimes, you have to try a recipe to realize how to change it to your liking. I change a lot of what I cook, I look at the original recipe for inspiration, then tweak things from there. Sometimes it’s a small changes, sometimes it’s a drastic change. But I’m always willing to try a new recipe and I hope you will too!
