So easy. So good. I went from there to deep frying potstickers, chicken wings, nutella in wonton wrappers. Sigh. I've never looked back!

@Rachel - I wond...@all - thanks for your comments!<br /><br />@Rachel - I wonder if you could do something with nopales (cactus) and mole.<br /><br />@(Hounds in the Kitchen) - We'll have to find a restaurant supply store that has an oil or candy thermometer. Thanks for the link to your duck post!<br /><br />@J - Yes, it has to be hot enough so that the steam from the cooking food prevents the oil from seeping in. But not too hot or it'll burn the outside before the insides are fully cooked.<br /><br />@Bob - thanks. I think part of our dilemma is what to do with all that oil after we're done frying.<br /><br />@Jennie - welcome to our blog!<br /><br />@Amanda - thanks for the recipe!<br /><br />@Dodol & Mochi - yep, already thinking about making some French bread...Nate @ House of Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00999631992214200998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36752534.post-57558914174886834402010-01-10T22:34:59.891+08:002010-01-10T22:34:59.891+08:00Hmm ...

Very lucky with the KitchenAid, those pasta making attachments were super expensive but worth it!!<br />Lovely to meet you.

I've tried on a couple of occasions to replicate my dad's stuffed chicken wings (similar to fried chicken), but the batter and oil temp did me in. I am still looking for a KFC-type batter that will stay crispy after the chicken cools. And I discovered that my oil was not hot enough, which gave me soggy results.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14538991301585033081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36752534.post-53571273524797229292010-01-10T02:56:53.721+08:002010-01-10T02:56:53.721+08:00Great resolution!

Invest in a thermometer (if you don't have one) and fry in small batches to be sure the temperature doesn't drop too much.<br /><br />I recently how we cook duck. It's a little complicated because it requires steaming first but you will love it! http://houndsinthekitchen.com/2009/12/29/how-to-cook-a-duck/Rachel (Hounds in the Kitchen)http://www.houndsinthekitchen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36752534.post-75826895429000990882010-01-10T02:52:38.720+08:002010-01-10T02:52:38.720+08:00I've always been a little bit nervous of deep-...I've always been a little bit nervous of deep-frying, so I'd like to experiment with that more, too (healthy, huh?)<br /><br />I also have a jar of mole in the cupboard and need to figure out a great (veggie) recipe to serve it with.<br /><br />So at least a couple of our goals overlap... I'll look forward to reading about your progress over the year :)Rachel Cotterillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08969719330048416996noreply@blogger.com
