Cooking with Sfla80
So many of you may or may not know im a chef for a living. Been asked a few times to start a thread about cooking. Took me awhile to figure out how I wanted to go about this. So figured now is best of anytime. And ill just go with the flow and teach or answer anything that might come up.
Ill post things I cook at home and at work. I know most have familys and might give you guys some great ideas for cooking for them. Or even better impressing a date.
I work in a upscale steak house. Corporate style. but one of the top in the country. Ive been cooking for 20 years give or take (holy shit long time lol). Started at the bottom and from hard work I have moved my way up. Worked in about 10 restaurants throughtout this time. from low scale Fridays type, to upscale fine dinning. 10-12 component plates, where sauces takes 3 days to make, and menu changes daily/weekly.
So I started as a bus boy, and quit...but they saw something in me and askedmeif I wanted to cook. Started on salads. then worked my way up very fast to know everything in the kitchen. And that's how it went every place. I did not go to school and have no technical training. But I know most , and if seen once I can do it again.
Now here I am, title executive chef of a top end restaurant.
Not trying to boost my ego or anything...just giving backround of who I am and where I came from.
Now every now and then, either from home or work. I will post with a many pics as I can of meals, sauces, or whatever I might have time for.
Hoping for an enjoyable thread for memebers here.
Anyone that would like to add or contribute is more then welcome.

So something like today, had tons of left over chicken.
Most of you know and have done this but here it is. This is something simple and easy, as I was home all day with baby. But different and can stay healthy
Chicken salad
I grilled 3 whole ( in halves ) chickens yesterday. Just had a dry rub of seasoning on it.
Ingredients
Red onion
Jalapeņo
Apples
Relish (or pickles )
Today I used low fat skin ranch for dressing cause wife will love. But evoo mayo works perfectly.
Chop and mix together.
I also add sweet banana peppers and green Tabasco

Yeees, about time, chef. I've had the pleasure of seeing some of your work over the years and I can say this is going to be a great thread. Excited to see this virtual cook book grow.
Definitely include the brown rice dish you sent me once I still make it today and is one of my favs.

So tonight's dinner is one of mine and wife's favorite.
Missed a couple pics. Baby was getting a little restless and cooking was going fast so missed a couple lol.
Crispy brown and steak fried rice
Used skirt this time (flank needs more time to marinate ) only had 8 hours today.
Skirt marinate
Ponzu (basically a citrus based soy sauce)
Garlic
Fish sauce
Lime juice
Sesame oil
Mix
Eggs
Brown rice
Mix red and green peppers
Shitake mushrooms
Scallions
Red onions
Bean sprouts ( for the wife lol)
Sauce
Low sodium soy
Hoisin
Fish sauce
Lot of separate steps here.
Sautee veggies
Scramble the eggs
I grilled the meat this time I liked the char on the skirt.
My trick here is after each Sautee is done just throw into a mixing bowl and save for later.
Now onto the rice. Trick to my rice is the rice being crispy!! Heat Sautee pan to hot. Little evoo and sesame oil. Almost to smoke pojnt. Add rice. Let it sit and brown. At this point u can almost flip rice like a pancake.
Add sauces to deglaze the pan. Toss and break rice. Add to the bowl and mix and serve.
Edit: sorry pics in the middle

Winner of a thread man. Def gonna try the above at the weekend.
I do a really nice marinated chicken breast just from my own messing around.
I use dark soya sauce, smoked paprika, garlic crushed, oregano, ground chilli flakes and leave to marinate as long as possible I grilled on the bbq last time to make chicken fillet burgers it is simple and hasn't disappointed yet.

No pics offhand, I'll have to snap some next time I make it, but here's my whiskey wings:
Ingredients
o ― cup whiskey (I useJack Daniels)
o ― cup pineapple juice
o ― ts cayenne
o 2 Tb hot sauce (I use Frank's)
o 1 cup brown sugar
o ― cup soy sauce
o 1-2 Tb cornstarch (optional)
o 3 lbs wings
In a sauce pan, bring ingredients (except cornstarch) to a boil. Lower heat and let simmer for 10-15 minutes then pour out enough to marinade wings (but let cool first).
Add a bit of corn starch to the left over in the pan to thicken of you need to, then use as extra dipping sauce.
You can grill or broil these bad boys.
