    I scored a copy of Kenji's Wok cookbook, and first recipe off the rank was Kung Pao Chicken. Followed to the letter, even the batch cooking advice for electric stoves. To quote Bambam, 'That's fucking delicious'

    • looks yum but it's missing a layer of jasmine underneath it all :)PonyBoy
    • Lol my only nitpick is the colour temp of your photo.pango
    • God damn it pango, aren't you supposed to be wearing the nice crown?garbage
    • I NEVER SAID IM PARTICIPATING! lolpango
    • haha PonyBoy there is absolutely a layer of perfectly cooked jasmine rice underneath, just like in the green curry I posted last time!BuddhaHat
    • Pango, niceness aside, what would you suggest as an adjustment? I can adjust in camera.BuddhaHat
    • haha! I stand corrected (but would love to see just a touch of that rice show through)... gimmie!PonyBoy
    • I want to get one of those outdoor wok burners so you can get that wok-hai flavour. Home made is always missing it...inteliboy
    • Apparently a kitchen blow torch is a pitching hack as well - do a quick blast to create a smoky flavourinteliboy

    • Make it slightly on the warmer side just a tiny bit. Blueish food photo rarely look appetisingpango

    • Just read the *in camera* part.
      My default WB is usually the daylight WB(5000k-5400k). Then adjust accordingly to the light I'm shooting under if needed.      pango
    • Easiest solution is to place the food under sunlight. And use a white board to bounce some light on the shadow area if the sun is too harsh.pango
    • Wonderful and accurate tips. Kitchen torch will even out the gloss, but really it's the light source that's causing the sheen. Question is, how'd it taste?garbage
    • @pangz You don't choose the crown, the crown chooses you!garbage
    • I see no rice ;)monospaced
    • Pango, it's monday.
      Jus sayin'.      palimpsest
    • Indeed it is. Or waspango
