/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Probably stir fried to be honest. Just some ginger, garlic and chilli to fry of first, then your main ingredients with some soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil and rice wine vinegar.

I eat this meal all the time man, just with different ingredients as I feel like it.

Make it into a pesto & use as a dipping sauce or pasta sauce. You can make basically any leafy green into a pesto. Some of the tougher greens should probably be blanched forst, like kale

This. Chinese cuisine is a pretty good way to get vegetables in your diet.

You can in theory put kale in every cooked meal.

To start, throw some in together with your rice and cook them together. Helps out rices' shitty nutritional value and you get the full deal out of your kale as no water is thrown away. Might need to add some water if you use fresh kale or add a minute or two to the cooking time if you use frozen kale(or reducing the amount of water to compensate).

I put it in pretty much everything. Tastewise it neither adds nor deters very much and you get free nutrients.

I eat a lot of stir fry.

Salads are an obvious choice. If you don't like the taste of bitter greens you can just add some dressing. A little bit of dressing won't kill you.

Baby bok choy with garlic, onion, black pepper and chilies is crackin' good stuff.

Cover them in ranch.

sauerkraut, doesn't really spoil and you can eat it with almost anything. it's even good by itself.

Is there a good way to mask the bitterness on these things?

>>6738304
I just snack on a bag of spinach from the store.

>>6740303
Maybe cook it with shrimp.

>>6740303

Wait, I consider that shit an undesirable weed in my garden. You're telling me we can eat it?

>>6740285
... or cheez whiz.

>>6739183
But aren't we able to absorb more nutrients from cooked vegetables compared to eating them raw?

>>6740340
Jewish conspiracy to make you shell out money for literal trash plants.

>>6740340
You can also make a delicious wine from it as well.

>>6738304
Why does it have to be "tasty"? Why not stop being a child and just eat what's good for you?

>>6741938
are you honestly saying that you don't take taste into account at all when preparing food

>>6738304
A SALAD
/thread

A lot of vegetables go with pasta, just toss some broccoli or whatever in the water for the last couple of minutes or however long they take, and throw some oil/garlic/parmesan on it.

Also, I don't like bitter things but imo the darker, stronger tasting vegetables go with savory foods well. I'm not talking about drowning them in cheese or something but this recipe I got some smittenkitchen turned out good and wasn't that hard even for a dork like me.

also as I'm sure you all know kale is super easy to grow, hardy, and becomes huge so if you want to have a shit ton go for it. please don't just let it die like my grandparents.

>>6738304
emulsify your favorite oil with your favorite vinegar and add to it your favorite spices and some salt.

apply liberally to everything green that tastes shitty on its own.

>>6740303
People use salt to make bitterness go away i think so focus on that. Like dark chocolate

>>6741842
Is this true?

>>6738304
Boiled collard greens will do you right.

My mom would go behind my school while id be playing around when i was in elementary n middle school and pick tons of these. If i remember correctly she used some sort of a lemony fish sauce.

It is... I mean, that's why cooking was invented. Surely you lose some heat sensitive vitamins in the process, but the gain in other nutrients outweighs the loss.

>>6742163
Cooking was invented because it tastes better and is more easily digestible, plus it kills pathogens

Bacon, a bit of vinegar and a long simmer in a pot will do you right.
