I’m looking for recipe ideas that can help “disguise” meat/protein. My girlfriend and I are vegetarian and vegan, but she’ll soon be undergoing surgery and has been advised to incorporate animal protein into her diet for healing.

What’s a dish you learned to prepare this year and can’t get enough of? For me, it’s definitely Kimchi Jjigae. It’s simple to make and incredibly flavorful! The rich pork, the kick from the gochujang, and the tanginess of the aged kimchi create a delicious combination that I can’t resist. I also love making budae…

I’m a decent cook with two decades of experience, but baking (like scones, cakes, and cookies) isn’t really…

Are there kosher alternatives for seafood such as shrimp or lobsters?

What can I do with leftover chili broth? I made a batch of chili, and it turned out a bit soupier than I expected. I’m scooping out the chunkier bits, but I still have quite a bit of broth left. Any suggestions on how to use it? I’m considering pouring it over rice.

How to Use Up a Mountain of Scallions? Hello r/cooking! I never expected to find myself in this situation, but here I am, reaching out for ideas on how to make the most of an absurdly large stash of scallions.

I purchased some “bad” shrimp—can I salvage them in any way? Today, for the first time, I tried cooking a bag of frozen shrimp. I boiled them for about 10 minutes, but they still seemed undercooked, staying semi-translucent and rubbery.
