What are your signature dishes?

The dish that impresses your family, friends, and even yourself
The dish that you've became somewhat of an expert on, or in the process of mastering

What's your best dish?

I don't know much dishes, but for me:
>1 - Peking Duck (Chinese Roasted Duck)
>2 - Pho (Vietnamese Soup)
>3 - L.A. style Galbi (Korean BBQ)

Currently working on the macarons. Shits hard, I'm trying different recipes, but I got a dinky little oven. I'll probably need to get myself a thermometer cause my macarons aren't coming off right. It's mostly the mixing that's getting me as well.

Chicken in spicy-sweet plum sauce. It's a modified version of a dish I saw made once, pretty tasty. I have no pic, but here's a recipe.

3-4 chicken thighs, fileted, cut into strips
2 teaspoons dried ginger
2 teaspoons of corn starch
3 tablespoons oil
1 lightly beaten egg white
pepper to taste

Combine these and put in fridge for at least half an hour. Salt is deliberately left out. Meanwhile:

1 finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons honey
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
8-10 plums, halved
1 teaspoon chilli
coupla sage leaves
few strips of lemon rind
half a teaspoon of each crushed cloves and cinnamon
half a cup of sweet red wine

Melt butter and honey, add onion and garlic, sweat them on low heat until translucent. Chuck in everything except the sage and cook for 15-20 minutes, add more wine if necessary. Get the chicken from the fridge, salt it and in a separate pan, brown it on high heat. Combine with the sauce, add the sage leaves and cook for another 10 minutes. Taste the sauce and add honey/soy/lemon juice if it's too sweet/not salty enough/too sweet. If it's too acidic, add some cream or butter, it'll mellow it out nicely. Serve with whatever you want.

We use tinned tomatoes in Italy, you know... or, more accurately, they come in cartons or glass.

Sounds fine to me other than the star anise, but lasagne is one of the few Italian dishes with no standardisation nowadays, so put in it what you will. I was puzzled that some Italian academy (wut) gives an "authentic recipe" as though there's only one way to do it.

I've mentioned this before, but in my region, we sear a brisket, build a tomato sauce around it, then braise or stew the brisket in said sauce until it can be easily pulled apart by hand (actually, we use forks to pull it apart into shreds).
The lasagne are then layered with the brisket shreds, mozarella slices and sauce, finishing with a sprinkle of parmigiano so that it gets crispy when baked.

North from where I'm from, their sauce is made with beef mince, similar to bolognese, only the soffritto is different (not based on celery/carrot/onion). Some regions add cream, besciamella or milk, mine does not and I don't think any of the surrounding ones do, either.

In Sicily, they make theirs stuffed with deep-fried tiny meatballs, tomato sauce and ricotta (Sicilians love the fuck out of ricotta) and possibly pecorino Siciliano.

I've heard of variations using a sauce made of stewed aubergines, wine-caramelised onions, anchovies and olive paste, another using besciamella, slices of boiled egg and asiago shavings and more and more and more.

It really does vary considerably from one place to the next. Even different neighbourhoods in the same city will differ on what the most common preparation is.

Fun fact: I've never had the one with mince in it. Ever.

OP here, it's Peking duck + green onion/cucumbers + flour pancakes (or flour tortillas) + hoisin sauce
>pic related, it's my duck lol

Very fun recipe to make

>Get a bicycle pump and make incisions with a knife; blow the duck up to separate the skin from the muscles. This helps the duck fat drip out
>Boil hot water, then pour over a clean duck to scold it. This tightens up the skin
>Then dress the skin with the duck marinade (dark soy sauce, shaoxing/sherry wine, orange slices or any citrus, and maltose sugar). Maltose has a higher caramelization temperature so use that, otherwise you get charred sugar when roasting.
>Let the duck dry in a cool place until the skin feels tacky like parchment paper (maybe 1-2 days in fridge; or use fans to increase convective drying)
>Roast 300 F vertically so that fat drips down** (like a rotisserie chicken)

You get a crispy skin that's been fried in its own fat and juicy fat-free duck meat

**also save the duck fat for stir fries or cooking eggs and whatnot

I'm still trying to find mine.

I'm hoping it might be a spaghetti disaster that I brought back around.

I browned some sausage, mushrooms, and half an onion for the sauce and then went to deglaze the pan with a can of chicken broth, but the can turned out to be cream of chicken instead. I almost panicked but then I added some water to it, threw in some minced garlic, and let it reduce.

Then I threw in the diced tomatoes and the paste, some spices, worcestershire, pepperoni slices, red pepper flakes, all the meat and veggies, and let it reduce for a good long while.

It tasted creamy, chunky, spicy, and sexy.

It's not "overtly 'foreign-sounding", it's foreign.

The only reason to ever use a foreign word or phrase when not actively trying to teach a language is if there is not an equivalent in the tongue you are using, most generally when there is some connotative meaning that is absent. Anything else is pretension and poor communication.

She's been my dance teacher for the last 15 years so, yeah, I think baking her a cake for her surprise birthday party wasn't going too much out of my way to please.

Probably not authentic or anything but I can make delicious wontons. They can be fried, steamed, or put in soup (I usually use veg broth, green onions, bok choy, and some soy sauce).

ground pork
minced green onion
minced water chestnuts
grated fresh ginger
soy sauce
pinch of cornstarch

baozi. I am not saying I make them the best but they are pretty tasty. Also helps most people I know never had them and unless one goes to an actual Chinese restaurant you are not getting one either in my area.

Garlic and lemon marinated lamb rib chops, rosemary redskin potatoes, ratatouille.

Made that for my parents once, and my mother said that she didn't want to cook for me after that, because she felt nothing she could make would be that good.

Best way to eat them, right there.

If it hasn't split and burst, it's not ready yet.

I cook a lot, but I generally get requests for the following:

pizza
vegetarian burgers
teriyaki salmon burgers
chocolate chip cookies
haupia
bread
any kind of indian food
bibimbap

....the list goes on. I don't think I've brought something to a party where someone hasn't asked me "what did you put in this?" or demanded a recipe.

My shanghai dumplings are often requested from me. Over the last year or two I've been experimenting with/building up my dim sum repertoire, but they're the ones people always remember the most. They're a little pork and ginger meatball in the wonton wrapper with pork and onion broth. Tricky little bastards to make but always memorable.

Otherwise, my pork butts and other barbecue items or my homemade smoked polish sausages.

beans n' rice chili.

It's how I survive.

-1 cup brown rice
-1 cup beans, any kind or variety (usually just stick with the 15 bean soup mix)
-1 6-10 oz. russet potato
-2 whole carrots
-celery, approx. as much as carrots
-1 yellow onion (6-8 oz.)
-1/4 bulb of garlic (about 1/8 cup chopped)
-any chili peppers available (hatch green chile, jalapenos, pasillas, habaneros, etc., about 1/4 cup chopped)
-2 tsp beef boillon
-2 tsp salt
-1 tsp paprika
-2 tsp red chili powder

Soak beans and rice in 3 cups water overnight, or at least 8 hours. Drain and rinse. Add about 3 cups of water. Put in large pot on stove on low to begin simmering.

In a separate smaller pot/pan, boil chopped peppers and garlic for 2 minutes. Pour into the larger pot with beans and rice. Add salt, boillon, chili powder, and paprika.

Dice the onion, potato, carrots, and celery. Add ingredients to the large pot. Stir thoroughly until ingredients are evenly distributed. If there's not enough water in the pot to make water above the vegetables, add 1-2 cups of water to the mixture.

Put a lid on the pot and allow it to continue to simmer on low for 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours. Stir thoroughly. Soup will be done when beans are tender and have no roughness. Remove from heat and serve. Store leftovers either in the pot or a separate bowl in a refridgerator for up to a week.

I am a amateur cook, but baking is my strongest category.

Pic is a sourdough I made a month back, seldom do I take pictures of my bread (only when people want to know what my food looks like)

So to see anything recent is something I cannot show, but this is one of my worst batches.
