For all you stir-fryers, this is an ace, reasonably authentic base sauce.
1/2 cup oyster sauce
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup dark soy/Tamari
1/4 cup Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
1/4 cup cornflour
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp sesame oil
2 tsp ground white pepperShake it all together in a jar.
Keeps for yonks in the fridge.For a marinade, use it neat.
For a sauce, use 1-2 tbsp mixed with the same of water, per person.
Add towards the end, I normally push everything to the side, pour in to heat up, then stir through.Since discovering it I haven't used anything else.

- Well yeah it’s good with that, but works with anything. Just had crispy barramundi with green beans. It’s a scorcher.MrT

I'm still not sure whether it's a good idea, but I've recently been experimenting with soaking cut potatoes in cider vinegar - sometimes diluted - before drying and frying. Then, sometimes, ovening.
Potato wedge-cum chip types things.
The thinking being that it makes them taste a little like old-fashioned British chipShop chips.
Certainly smells like it, and I think I'm 75% of the way there – get it wrong though, and everything's fucked.
I think at least – a capful or two of aromatic vinegar, in your potato-soaking water, is worthy of consideration.
.
My blood is Scottish – I'm, like, 38% potato. This shit's important.

anyone have a braised beef recipe?
- Tried this one, was pretty good, short ribs. https://www.foodandw…BH26

Bought some cheap pork ribs 'ends', the park that connects to the spine.
Boiled them for an hour, to make some stock. Then grilled the 'ribs' with a little soy sauce+quince jam marinade. Tasted fantastic for €0.73

I reached peak burger-craving this weekend and folded, buying some fatty mince from the butcher, so I could try making 'smash burgers'.
It's been - according to the recipe thread here - 4 months since I last tried cooking beef at home, so I'm guessing my consumption of bovine flesh isn't a defining aspect of of my character. Anyway, sniping over.. ;)
'Smash burgers' are basically the zenith of my decades-long quest to make a decent burger at home.
I'd kind of already arrived roughly at the idea anyway, having travelled a long path of adding onions or flavourings, egg as a binder, etc – to just making basic-seasoned fat patties that I'd smush into the pan as I cooked them.
The secret to a good burger, as nefulekno is just Keeping It Simple, Stupid and good ingredients.
So, the following is probably my best median bet for making good burger at home...
My 'secret sauce' was a bit of a drunken abomination of the version in the video above, replacing 'relish' (which I don't really know what it is) with fine-cut gherkins and shallots (mild and sweet!) and small cubes of tomato.
I tasted it again today and whilst it's a bit sweet, fuck me it's good. So, on the menu again in an hour or so.
Oh, and because I don't have the right turner - mine's got large holes in it, I borrowed the technique I saw in the following video of flattening down with a small piece of baking paper...
The guy has a fucking great get-up. First response in the YT comments list is fucking golden - I highly recommend.

If you are not a stupid idiot this should take you like 10 min max.
You need:
• Two eggs
• One lime
• Mexican cheese
• Salt and pepper
• Corn tortillas
• Irish butter
• Green onion
• Olive oil
• Vinegar
• Bowl
• Zester
• Small pan
• Kitchen knifeCrack the eggs into the bowl. Whip the two eggs only until the yolk is generally even in the bowl so you have a sort of egg marble look.
Zest the lime into the bowl.
Pinch some mexican cheese into the bowl.
Put a tiny spritz of vinegar into the bowl.
Chop up one green onion and put that... into the bowl.
Put the bowl aside.
Put the small pan the stove at high. When it's hot, put stove on lowest setting, butter the pan with one or two pads of the good Irish Butter that your mother likes and melt evenly across pan. Don't burn that shit or I swear to fucking god I'll kill you. What are you, soft in the head? I said don't burn the butter.
Get a plate. Put a paper towel square over that shit.
Now fry two corn tortillas over the pan until they puff up. Then get them shits off the pan, put them on the plate, put another paper towel over to keep them warm. Good job so far, retard.
Now put raise the heat like one notch above the lowest setting. Drizzle olive oil over the pan. Just drizzle asshole, I didn't say slather. Lube it up for the eggs like I lubed up your mom for her eggs.
Okay now pour the bowl into the pan. Scramble the eggs as they are fluffing up and add two pinches of salt and one pinch of pepper.
Shake the pan. Are the eggs solid and jiggly like titties? Take the eggs out of the pan and put them into the tortilla. Take the lime that you skinned like a fucking monster and squirt them inside the tacos. Chop up a sprig of cilantro and put it also in the tacos.
Take the taco and shove it into your mouth and shut the fuck up. lean the pan in the sink as you are eating. Put your coat on. Eat the other taco and shove the other half in the trash. Rinse the plate, but like not all the way, and then put it in the dish washer all lopsided so your wife gets all mad at you. Go to work.

I'm going to be in such shit.
The burger sauce I made a few days ago (and again last night) contains Turmeric. Now Turmeric is something i've gotten really into over the past year or so, first with fresh stuff, then just the powder.
Love that shit.
Except, it stains like a bastard. I stopped using the fresh root as even showing it the chopping board fucked it up for days on end. I can live with it, 'er indoors less so.
The first of my burger sessions over the weekend was on Saturday night, and I was already a few tinnies in when I started cooking.
I was just tidying up the house before I came into work, in anticipation of partner who's on a plane home right now, and saw with horror a paw print of fucking yellow bastardry on the one of the couch cushions. They are - or at least were - white.
Also on one of the covers we have for the couch. Also the side of the shitty Ikea coffee table, also ex-white.
It's like a 4 year old with mental problems went crazy in there.
I'm doomed. All I could manage was to turn shit upside down or inside out and hope I can get away with it 'til the weekend, when she's working in France.
Beware Turmeric, people.
- lols. as you say, the root is fantastic for yellow fingers, clothes, etc etchans_glib
- White cushions sound doomed but I often splat it on a wooden work surface and it disappears in a day or two...MrT

- Yea no one told me about that, maybe 15 years ago, first time I chopped raw turmeric. Had yellow fingers for at least a week.********
