]]> So, you’ve got a wok pan sitting in your kitchen, and you’re wondering what else it can do besides stir-fries? You’re in for a treat! Let’s get into the kitchen and explore five delicious reasons why your wok pan is about to become your go-to for just about everything. 

Classic Stir-Fry

Woks excel at creating restaurant-quality stir-fries with crisp-tender vegetables and perfectly cooked protein. Chicken, tofu, shrimp, or beef are all great options.

Deep-Fried Feasts

From tempura vegetables to golden potstickers, you can achieve that satisfyingly crispy texture without needing a deep fryer. Just be sure to use a heat-resistant oil and monitor the temperature carefully.

Fluffy Steamed Dumplings

Woks are fantastic for steaming! Fill your steamer basket with dumplings, buns, or vegetables, and let the wok work its magic. 

Smoky Barbecue

You might be surprised, but woks can even be used for smoking! By adding wood chips or smoking pellets to a small pan placed in the bottom of the wok, you can infuse your meats and vegetables with a smoky flavor.

Hearty Braises

The deep body allows for slow cooking of stews, curries, and noodle dishes.  Simply sear your meat in the wok, add your braising liquids and aromatics, and simmer to tender perfection.

]]> Brighton is a lively UK city on the southeast coast. It’s known for its vibrant scene and relaxed atmosphere and is a great city for foodies. For vegan foodies, this is no different, with a huge range of exciting options. Here are some of the best venues for you to indulge in on a vegan food tour of the city. 

Purezza

Who doesn’t love delicious Neapolitan-style woodfired pizza? If as a vegan you miss the days of intensely cheesy pizzas then Purezza is an absolute must. It’s 100% vegan and has some seriously unique and exciting topping choices, as well as delicious sides, desserts, and cocktails. 

No Catch

A seaside city wouldn’t be complete without a vast range of fish and chip establishments, and No Catch has the vegans covered. Another totally vegan venue, this place is perfect if you used to be a lover of fish and seafood. The portions are very generous, and the variety of ‘fish’ dishes on offer is super exciting. 

Food for Friends

This is a delightful vegetarian restaurant with some incredible vegan offerings. It’s a little pricey, but you’re getting some seriously high-quality, locally sourced dishes that are cooked with love and friendship. This is ideal if you’re dining with non-vegans and want good options for everyone.

]]> Remember those secret menu items at your favorite fast-food joint? The ones whispered about online, promising epic flavor combos not on the regular board? Yeah, the Flying Dutchman is like that, but way cooler (and easier to make at home!).

This burger legend started at In-N-Out, but it’s gone viral, taking over social media with its simple, meaty magic. Picture this: two juicy beef patties wrapped around a gooey cheese center. No bun, no lettuce, no distractions—just pure, delicious burger bliss.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for optimal juiciness)
  • 4 slices of American cheese (or your preferred cheese)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

The Secret Weapon

The humble onion. We’re going to grill up some thick onion slices to act as your “bun.” 

Instructions:

  1. Grill those onion slices until they’re golden and caramelized.
  2. Sizzle up your beef patties to your desired doneness.
  3. Layer that melty cheese between the patties, creating a molten core of goodness.
  4. Now, the magic: stack your cheese-filled patties on one onion slice, top with the other, and voila! The Flying Dutchman, home-style.
  5. The beauty of the Flying Dutchman lies in its gooey, cheesy center, so it’s best served hot right off the grill or skillet.

]]> Want to step up your side dish game? Well, the latest TikTok viral food trend, melted onions, is perfect for that. They are easy to make, look great, and taste even better.

There are plenty of recipes on TikTok for this unusual side dish, but we liked the one from TikTok user @sweet.audra.brown the most. Her video recipe received more than three million views and got quite positive reactions from those who tried it.

How to Make Melted Onions

To make melted onions, you’ll only need some onions, melted butter, salt and pepper, and a muffin tin. That’s it.

First, peel the onions and cut them in half. Place the halves inside muffin tin cups and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pop in an oven at 425F for 20 minutes.

Take the muffin tin out of the oven and brush each onion with melted butter. Return to the oven for another 40 minutes. You’ll want to brush them again with melted butter towards the end of those 40 minutes. Finally, take the onions out of the oven, let them cool for several minutes, and serve. 

You can check out @sweet.audra.brown’s full video below.

Melted Onions! This is the easiest side dish you’ll ever make! Even those who arent fussy about onions like these. Melted Inions are sweet and buttery. So good as a side dish to any meal. #onions #sidedish #vegetarian #vegetables #ham #turkey #lamb #beef #fyp #dinner #holiday #cooking #trending

]]> In this day and age, it can be incredibly easy to order takeout food. Whether you’re someone who picks it up yourself or enjoys a good old fashioned delivery, the convenience is a real appeal to so many people who are exhausted after a long day. But no matter how strong the appeal is, we’re here to urge you to monitor your intake of takeout food. But how much of it is too much?

Ultimately, the amount of takeout food that you order really depends on your personal situation. Allow us to cover a few of these different bases.

Money

The first thing that should be addressed is how well off you are financially. This may seem like an uncomfortable subject, but you need to ask yourself these questions in order to make good choices. If you have plenty of financial freedom where having a savings account isn’t really necessary, then you’re probably okay to order out plenty. But if you live more in the real world, you should probably limit it to once a week.

Healthy Or Not?

Another thing to ask yourself is how healthy the takeout food is. More often than not, takeout food isn’t super healthy, but if you’re someone who orders exclusively from healthy spots, you can be a bit more lenient. Otherwise, again, you should probably limit your takeout orders to once or twice a week.

]]> Lox, a type of cured salmon, is a delicious addition to a cream cheese bagel and a great way to elevate your breakfast game. While this dish might seem fancy, it’s surprisingly easy to make at home. Here’s a quick guide. 

Ingredients

  • Fresh salmon filet
  • Coarse salt
  • White sugar
  • Optional flavorings: dill, lemon zest, or peppercorns

The Curing Process

  1. Combine equal parts of coarse salt and sugar. You can add your optional flavorings to this mix for an extra dimension of flavor.
  2. Cover the salmon filet with the salt-sugar mixture thoroughly on all sides. Wrap the coated salmon tightly in plastic wrap or place it in a zip-lock bag. Put it on a tray and refrigerate. To ensure even curing, place a weighted object, like a small cutting board with a few cans on top, over the wrapped salmon.
  3. The salmon should cure in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours, but no more than 72 hours. Every 12 hours, flip the salmon to ensure even curing.
  4. After the curing period, remove the salmon from the refrigerator. You will notice that the fish feels firmer. Unwrap it and rinse off the cure with cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. From there, slice and enjoy this delicious treat.

]]> You might not think much of the potato skins on hand, but don’t be so quick to throw them away. This amazing recipe is a fun twist on classic fries and a great way to reduce food waste. Let’s jump in.

After peeling your potatoes for another recipe (like mashed potatoes or roasted potatoes), collect the leftover potato skins. Preheat your oven to 400°F.

Place the potato skins in a mixing bowl and drizzle them with olive oil. Season the skins with salt and any additional spices you like. Paprika, garlic powder, or a pinch of cayenne pepper are all great ideas.  

Toss the potato skins gently to evenly coat them with the olive oil and seasonings. Lay out the seasoned potato skins in a single layer on a baking sheet. 

Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. After 15 minutes, start checking the potato skins. Use a fork or tongs to gently pick up one of the skins and see if it’s crispy. If it’s not quite there yet, leave them in the oven for a few more minutes.

Once the potato skin fries are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven. Let them cool for a minute and enjoy.

]]> Lox, a type of cured salmon, is a delicious addition to a cream cheese bagel and a great way to elevate your breakfast game. While this dish might seem fancy, it’s surprisingly easy to make at home. Here’s a quick guide. 

Ingredients

  • Fresh salmon filet
  • Coarse salt
  • White sugar
  • Optional flavorings: dill, lemon zest, or peppercorns

The Curing Process

  1. Combine equal parts of coarse salt and sugar. You can add your optional flavorings to this mix for an extra dimension of flavor.
  2. Cover the salmon filet with the salt-sugar mixture thoroughly on all sides. Wrap the coated salmon tightly in plastic wrap or place it in a zip-lock bag. Put it on a tray and refrigerate. To ensure even curing, place a weighted object, like a small cutting board with a few cans on top, over the wrapped salmon.
  3. The salmon should cure in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours, but no more than 72 hours. Every 12 hours, flip the salmon to ensure even curing.
  4. After the curing period, remove the salmon from the refrigerator. You will notice that the fish feels firmer. Unwrap it and rinse off the cure with cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. From there, slice and enjoy this delicious treat.

]]> You might not think much of the potato skins on hand, but don’t be so quick to throw them away. This amazing recipe is a fun twist on classic fries and a great way to reduce food waste. Let’s jump in.

After peeling your potatoes for another recipe (like mashed potatoes or roasted potatoes), collect the leftover potato skins. Preheat your oven to 400°F.

Place the potato skins in a mixing bowl and drizzle them with olive oil. Season the skins with salt and any additional spices you like. Paprika, garlic powder, or a pinch of cayenne pepper are all great ideas.  

Toss the potato skins gently to evenly coat them with the olive oil and seasonings. Lay out the seasoned potato skins in a single layer on a baking sheet. 

Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. After 15 minutes, start checking the potato skins. Use a fork or tongs to gently pick up one of the skins and see if it’s crispy. If it’s not quite there yet, leave them in the oven for a few more minutes.

Once the potato skin fries are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven. Let them cool for a minute and enjoy.
