FRENCH ONION SOUP IS SO GOOD! I made a while ago and while it took hours to make it was SOOO GOOD! If I only had a way to make a bread bowl to make it perfect. T^T ---

(bowl of Sichuan pepper and chillies purely decorative as I realised I had nothing in to make the photo look prettier) ---

The photo looks so professional, you’re upping the standards right away, hehe. This sounds really amazing. I love sichuan pepper, such an intense flavour and a freshness that stays on the tongue, although i can’ have it to often. ---

> [@totallyfries](#): > > The photo looks so professional, you’re upping the standards right away, hehe. Very kind, thank you! Cooked more Sichuanese food tonight - this one is Stir Fried Chicken with Yibin Yacai from the same book, although here I’ve made a few minor tweaks to the recipe (added a teaspoon of dark soy and a wildly irresponsible quantity of fresh red chillies) ![Photograph of stir fried chicken with Yibin Yacai, served with a slightly excessive portion of jasmine rice as I was starving when I got in from work. I have no remorse. At the edges of the photograph tiny fake plants are arranged in a vague attempt to make it look like I understand how to frame an image.](https://theunderscore.xyz/uploads/default/original/2X/3/352ad8ea2389541fe11a819cf478a0c9b8a606bb.jpeg) This dish does not photograph well but it tastes sensational! Chicken diced extremely fine and coated with Shaoxing rice wine, potato starch and water, then fried with pepper, Yibin Yacai and copious amounts of garlic, ginger and chilli and the dark soy. ---

Sounds amazing. There can never be too many chillies in any food. ---

I only have one kidney due to lefty being a dumbass who got cancer (no worries, it was contained when he got yanked out) so I gotta look out for righty and watch sodium levels outside a single cheat day usually reserved for fast food. Thankfully, Aldi turns out to be a great store for when you need low sodium food but can’t cook all the time. I have actually managed to find low sodium frozen stuff there, so tonight I had some little beef tacos and mango Jarritos. It’s a great lazy snack time dinner treat since it only takes seven minutes in the oven once pre-heating is done. I found meat pies only around 300mg but those takes 30 minutes so I don’t have those too often. ---

I reheated some popcorn chicken and dipped it into a dish of queso dip. It was pretty good. I’m not sure what will be a good idea for dinner later, but I might roast some veggies in a bit. 🙂 Picked up a shirt from The Bob Shop, so I’m looking forward to my shirt in a week or so!
