That sounds really good - with the exception of the mushrooms <VBG!>
Akin to to what I'd call "dutch relish" (aka hamburger soup/stew/gravy).

While this really is what I had to eat tonight, this was a test to
see how many and how quickly I could get a response to a briefly
described, shitty recipe. It took all of 5 minutes and I got 4
responses in a couple hours.

OTOH, I posted an honest and detailed description and method of a
popular Cantonese dish, complete with pictures 10 hours ago and it
hasn't received a single comment.

Sometimes I really wonder about this group. If you're serious
about cooking and contributing useful posts, nobody here really
gives a shit. It's the OT and trash posts that get all the
attention. I can do both, but I'd rather do the former more often
but there doesn't seem to be much incentive or interest.

I agree that you original post was "a briefly described, shitty
recipe."

I thought it looked unappetizing, but merely unappetizing TO ME. I
wasn't qualified to, nor interested in commenting upon it.

But, but, you *helped your hamburger*, and you did it with condensed
soup. A lot of folks here would not consider that to be a "shitty
recipe."

A little easier than mine....but I toss in onions with shrooms . Add
beef stock, bring to a boil. Add cornstarch slurry to thicken, then
when ready to serve, half a cup of sour cream and season with S&P.

Perhaps it is the case (although maybe not so much among USians) that like
us, we don't like Asian dishes..or especially in our case, we don't like
spicy things either. Boring? Perhaps but that is our preference I do
take your point, but I don't make comment on things we don't eat. I do read
them though

I don't cook Chinese or any other Asian food at home anymore, I order
it for delivery or eat in the restaurant and I don't make hamburger
stroganoff. If I buy hamburger, it's for torta which is an egg
dish... I made it last night.

Ah, so this recipe was a test? I wouldn't have commented because some
of the nicest people I know, use creamy soups for a base. And often
as many as three different soups. Yuk! But what the heck - they're
not really into cooking..............

No matter how disparaging the rest of you were, we love hamburger
stroganoff.
I brown the beef with lots of onions, drain, then add mushrooms and
saute slightly, & chicken soup only,
Loads of fresh chopped garlic & fresh ground pepper, let that cook in,
then the
sour cream goes in at the end. Sometimes we eat it over toast,
sometimes
egg noodles.
And I have used ground turkey in place of the hamburger. I guess not
all of
us have gormet taste buds.
SW I don't often look at the pics they take so long to download on my
damn dialup.
I read the Cantonese recipe and it sounded good. Hope you enjoyed the
stroganoff.

Stroganoff really depends on the texture of the steak, not just the
sauce and ground meat sounds terrible.

OK I found it. "Fermented Fish" in the title and you expect people to
both read it and comment? NOBODY reads every post here, there's way too
much volume.

Fermented fish and chicken fried rice. Under a different spelling of his

No. The recipe was not a test. Just the posting of it was. My
mom used to make that before I learned how to cook for myself and I
made that last night with no intention of using it as an example.
I just wanted to try it again after 30 years.

No Attachments, just had links to imageshack pictures in it. No

Thanks for letting me know.

James, it's not what I'd call stroganoff either but I've seen the simple
ground beef versions before. It's popular in some parts of the country.

I use a fast thin cut (much like a stir fry cut) for mine. It's probably
closer to what you are thinking of.

Light roux with a binder of duck fat (may also use pork fat if using a mix
of pork and beef for the meat). Add meat to separate pan while that melds
and lightly brown to a still soft meat (you want about 50% done). Cream or
sometimes a cream of mushroom soup can, added and mixed with the roux then
lots of black pepper. Often a bit of worstershire sauce. A little pinch of
msg (doesnt need much) then add the meat. Finish cooking being careful to
not overcook. Turn off heat, add sour cream then serve over warm noodles
with a veggie side.

OK, I guess you got me there. I usually read the first post of all
threads unless it says something about cakes, cookies, pies, or
doesn't have much of a description at all.

My food curiosities (oddities) are different than others I guess.
If I see a post entitled "Tobacco in Cooking" I would probably read
it just for the enlightenment even though I would never, ever
consider doing any such thing.

I'll try and stay away from fermented fish descriptions, but I
really do post them hoping some of the more adventurous will try
them, if not in your own kitchen, then at a restaurant (and
undoubtedly like them since you made the decision to try it in the
first place). I guess y'all didn't like the "Mam Nem" article
either ;-)

Fermented fish products are excellent for flavoring foods, but I
guess that makes me a unique/odd White Boy. Asian and
Mediterranean cultures have been using them for ages, but they just
haven't been "discovered" in the USA and Britain yet.
Worcestershire sauce is a start. But even that's 400+ years old by
now.

Good point. I was using a laptop I last used 7-8 years ago and
kept changing my name, but it kept reverting back to "squirtz" for
some reason. I changed it for the 4th time last night and it seems
to have "stuck" now.

Anybody else using a Thnkpad 600 233mhz original Pentium with 128MB
of RAM and 4GB disk drive? The keyboard really needs a good blow
job. Some of the keys are not working too well.

We're having flashbacks, OK?

Now you just ruined my trip.

Now there's a thought: Frying with Bryan. Sounds like a real
bummer.

Maybe that's what was missing, onions. I forgot, but I think we
used to have onions in this as well - and not just from the onion
soup. Now I've got to make another batch.
