Thuggin’ Truffles

Black Truffle, a foodie's favorite drug

Black Truffle, a foodie’s favorite drug

Within the last decade, the restaurant and food industry has gained in popularity like never before. Now Chefs are viewed in the same light as Rock Star Celebrities, and with celebrity comes all the craziness. In this case the mayhem is being caused by a famous fungi known simply as “truffle.”

Truffles are becoming scarcer due to climate change and higher demand. This has increased the price of truffles to all time highs, making them part of an underground foodie black market. People are robbing, intimidating, punking, thugging, and doing whatever to get their hands on this prized fungi…

The Truffle Game is CRAZY Ya’ll! Wish I could afford some French Truffles for cooking. Oh well…

Peace

WING SAUCE RECIPE #1: Gingered Teriyaki

One of the dopest recipes for wings ever.  No Wing Stop, no chain Restaurant recipes, just Professional Culinary goodness.

WING SAUCE RECIPE #1: Gingered Teriyaki

Ingredients:

  1. Ginger
  2. Soy Sauce, measured by Weight
  3. Sugar, measured by Weight
  4. Red Wine
  5. Garlic
  6. Green Onion
  7. Pinch of Chinese Five Spice
  8. Pinch of Ground Star Anise
  9. Sriracha to taste

I will update this recipe with instructions later.  I usually do not give amounts for ingredients because I myself rarely use exact measurements for cooking.  One rule you learn as a cook is to adjust flavors as you go along.  If the sauce isn’t sweet enough, add more sugar.  If you want a stronger onion flavor, add more onion, and so on and so forth.  For now, study the ingredients and become familiar with the flavors.  You won’t learn how to cook without recipes, and therefore become a better cook yourself, if you don’t study the flavors of your ingredients.  Any well-experienced Chef can look at the above ingredients and immediately figure out how to make this sauce with no instructions or measurements. I will keep this wing recipe and others here: https://freshcliniclife.com/food/recipes/wings/ as I update them.

Stay Tuned for a future post on an Update for this Recipe!
