Dave Stew

Sorry, we are late this week. To add insult to injury, this isn’t really a recipe. It’s more like “throw a bunch of stuff in water and cook it for a while.” Dave’s Stew comes from “Pro at Cooking” which started as an a skit on the Pure Pwnage online video series and later became its own series. The video shows you probably the most simple way to make a stew. And sometimes, simple is all you need.

You should probably watch the video, as it’s not long and will show you exactly how the master of stews does it. However, after the break, I have also included the basic steps for you. I’m just that nice.

Stew please

Teriyaki Sauce

We all know that teriyaki sauce is delicious, but not many people know that it is actually also very easy to make. It involves only a few ingredients: soy sauce, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, some water, and some sake (if you have it). I don’t have a recipe for you that involves precise measurements simply because I did not make it that way, and because I believe that this is one recipe which benefits from each chef’s own preference for taste. If you don’t like the saltiness of teriyaki, add more water than soy sauce – it will just be thin sauce. Or, if you don’t like garlic that much, only add a tiny bit or even none at all! I’m not saying that subtracting these ingredients completely will give you an authentic teriyaki flavor, but it will give a teriyaki kick to whatever you’re making. This being said, I made a total of about 3 cups of sauce, part of which I stored for later:

and part of which we cooked thin strips of beef in to make our own version of beef teriyaki.

Choc’ full of burgers

Hamburgers are one of the quintessential American foods. They are also fairly versatile, allowing you to enhance the flavor of the beef (or turkey, or veggie, or whatever) patties by adding cheese, mushrooms, and other condiments. Another, slightly different, addition is dark chocolate chips. Since they are mostly cocoa, and not very sweet, they mix well with the ground beef, and give it an unusual, but very pleasant kick. This allows you to spice up your hamburgers without having those extra condiments on hand (or even in addition to them).

Food Country: Russia

Our next stop on our global conquest of food is mother Russia. Home to two of my favorite things, pirogi and vodka. And while I would love to have a global drink conquest as well, for now we are sticking with food. The food we chose from Russia is pelmeni, which is a meat filled pirogi. The good thing about cooking this was we learned the basic steps to make virtually any filled pasta, although these are more moon shaped than, say, ravioli (but the basic concept is the same).
