I am obsessed with David Chang’s Momofuku book. I am learning so much great stuff and it’s written in a language that I can understand easily…….lots of cusswords! I was reading the section about how if you want to take your self seriously as a cook/chef then you need to start doing this technique. I read it and said, “MUST TRY NOW!”.
I think the best part about this is that when you have a bunch of vegetables or fruits you have lying around the house you can pickle them to extend their life. It doesn’t have to be the formal canning process either. The book says the food can keep up to a month so that’s great with me. I intend to try a few recipes of his so I can see the light for myself. I used his quick pickle recipe for the base liquid but I intend to use a bunch of different vinegars to see how that will change things. I think this will turn out to be one of the best things I have done…… Thanks Momofuku cookbook!
Red onions…..they will look awesome in a few days
Pickled mirepoix…..I don’t know….we’ll see what happens!
You’re probably expecting a recipe now. I say to you…..go buy the damn book like I did!

Things that resemble Pacman………

I’ve flipped through the book, but have not yet bought it — something else for the holiday gift card brigade. I do love pickled vegetables for snacking, but I appreciate the pragmatic approach to not letting anything go to waste! As for Pac Man egg: wakawakawakawakawaka — oh, no, is it Inky, Pinky, Blinky and Clyde?! And don’t forget Sue.
