Hi! I have these american cookbooks, where they refer to sticks of butter in their recipe. I was wondering how many kilograms 1 stick of butter is? Also does anybody know how many kilogram 1 cup of normal sugar, and 1 cup of plain white flour? :chef:

A very nice dinner I have now made the fish recipe from Yakuta. I found it very tasty indeed. Didnt know that leftover, white fish could turn out to such a first class meal! I added some chopped chili for spicyness, and served the dish with leaves of fresh coriander. I planned to take a photo...

Thank you for this recipe, it sounds good.

Today is Halloween, and I noticed that it was not so many people on this site as usual. I bet most of you are busy cooking up some great Halloween dinner! This time of the year I wish I lived in US, because they celebrate this spoky night in a very grand way. In Norway we have a few orange...

My favourite ethnic food is vietnamese food. All dishes from this country have this tangy, exotic flavour, that makes the first bite often a bit weird. The aftertaste however make you want to have more. And the memory of each meal stays for years. Favourite vietnamese dish is banh bao (steamed...

Thank u for this information. I will try to make mayo myself. I have wondered how japanese mayo tastes, because I have read that they use it on their okonomiaky (kind of fried pankake with cabbage and stuff), and I cant imagine that this goes well together (but it obviosly does!).

Salmon recipe Here is one easy and nice way to cook salmon. Take the salmonfilet and place them in a ... how do you say in english...heathproof glass or keramicbowl with lid. Cover with sliced, raw onion (any kind). Sprinkle with oil (I use soyoil), and dark soysauce. And a bit ground pepper...

I would think that the stores maybe could take in a jar of american white mayo, because they sure import this stuff from alot of other countries. I am searching for that exra light sort that you describe, so I can smear a thick layer on my chickensandwiches. Besides, can I ask you what races...

Well I have never actually made mayo myself, just bought it on tubes. Here in Norway mayo is seldom used. I would like to try to make it the ameracan way. But wont the egg make the color yellow?

In american movies I have seen that the mayo is really white and delicate. In my country all I get is yellow, thick mayonaise. Does anybody know why mayo is so white in US? I would like to taste it, because our mayonaise tastes more like butter, I think.:huh:

Thank u Boufa. I like your recipe alot, it seemed very simple, and I dont need to go shopping for ingrediense. I will try it. What I am looking for is that chewy texture, so it seems perfect :biggrin:

Yes, Biberche, I think we are talking about the same dish. The phyllosheets were to thin and flaky! I will check out the recipes for the dough on chowhound.

Thank u for the recipe, I think I will try it today.

I also tried to make this dish, and when I started to use oystersauce, it came out very good (plus the other ingrediense above). Fry oystersauce with the beef, add some sugar, black pepper and dark soysauce to bring out the rich, full flavor of the sauce. I also use some carrots, for an extra...

Tip experience I once worked at a restaurant, and when I started there I wondered why not everybody would work at that restaurant, so good was the money we earned! Pay per hour was 8 US dollar, plus each of us got all the tip for ourselves. At the restaurant people did not tip alot, ca 1 doller...

Thanx for all the informative pictures. What I ate looks just like burek, and I actually made this dish from its recipe. It looked the same, but did not tast the same. Burek was more like pie, what I ate was more chewy. It was homemade dough in all three different cases I ate it, so maybe that...

Thanx I can now buy the right flour in the store nearby. The flour sells in packets labeled for making light cakes and desserts.

Oki I think I can get that transformer/adapterbit fixed in a store, but I still dont know how to get my hands on a slow cooker. Most netshops in US or UK do not ship to Norway.

Did you use regular flour, or did you buy it from an etnic store?

I can get an adapter, its usual here, becaus all of us need it when we go on vacation (out of the border). But Ive been to e bay and walmart, and as far as I can see, they only ship inside US.

Thanx, I will do that

White steamed fluffy buns I have been introduced to steamed fluffy buns from vietnamese, called banh bao. I think it is very simulare to the chinese baozi. Both in china and in vietnam these buns are pure white. I have tried to make the buns with regular flour from the nearby store, but then my...

In my country they doesent sell slowcookers. I have tried looking for them at Amazone, but they dont ship electrical artifacts to Norway (where I live). How can I get hold of one, I so much would want to wake up for a nice, hot riceporrige-breakfast. :huh:
