[RECIPE] RIP to my favorite yum-yum recipe, and my take on it
  • The copied instructions are for the from scratch variation. The OG with premade mayo has you huck everything in there, and that's what I typically do. I usually mix the mayo and water before I add the rest of the ingredients so I can get the consistency right, but I don't think it would hurt anything to wait to the end. We mix it with an electric whisk just because it makes for slightly easier dishes.

  • RIP to my favorite yum-yum recipe, and my take on it

    RIP to the best yum-yum sauce recipe I have found, https://japanese-steakhouse-white-sauce.com/home/ (working wayback machine link). In its honor I'm posting the recipe here, along with my family's modifications.

    OG recipe:

    • Mayonnaise (Hellman's), 1-1/4 cup
    • Water, 1/4 cup
    • Tomato paste, 1 teaspoon
    • Melted butter, 1 tablespoon
    • Garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon
    • Sugar, 1 teaspoon
    • Paprika, 1/4 teaspoon
    • Cayenne pepper, dash

    You can just mix everything together in this version, no particular order. The author stresses that it won't taste right if you use a different brand of mayo. He says it makes it taste too strongly of mayo. He particularly cautions the use of low fat or reduced calorie mayo, and the substitution of ketchup for the tomato paste. Once mixed the sauce should be refrigerated immediately and allowed to chill overnight for best results. Best within 7-10 days.

    OG "from scratch":

    • Soybean oil, 3/4 cup
    • Egg, 1
    • Dry mustard powder, 1/2 teaspoon
    • Salt, 1/2 teaspoon
    • Sugar, 2 teaspoon
    • Cayenne pepper, dash
    • White vinegar, 1-1/2 tablespoons
    • Cayenne pepper, dash (duplicate line is reflective of his recipe. It's unclear if this is a typo or he adds it twice in different stages, although the written instructions don't indicate that.)
    • Tomato paste, 1-1/2 teaspoons
    • Melted butter, 1 tablespoon
    • Garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon
    • Paprika, 1/4 teaspoon
    • Water, 1/4 cup

    Copypasta instructions:

    Set up blender. Put 1/4 cup (only) of the oil along with the egg, vinegar, mustard powder, salt, cayenne and 1 teaspoon of the sugar in the blender and place the lid on the blender. Turn it on and let everything mix well for about 5-10 seconds. Turn off the blender.

    Open the pouring hole in the blender lid or take off the small removable center piece. Turn the blender back on, and very slowly drizzle the remaining 1/2 cup oil through the hole into the mixture while it is blending. It should take 30 seconds or so – if not, you are pouring too fast!

    *** If you add the oil too fast, it will not emulsify (come together) properly, and will not be the consistency of mayo – it will be more like white oil and you will need to throw it away! ***

    Once the mixture has emulsified, turn off the blender. Empty the contents into a mixing bowl. Using a fork or a whisk, mix in the remaining 1 teaspoon sugar along with the tomato paste, melted butter, garlic powder and paprika. Mix throughly until the sauce is smooth. If it is too thick, add some of the water (up to 1/4 cup) to get it to the desired consistency. Refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to blend. Bring to room temperature before serving.

    And finally, my family's take! Our changes deepen the flavor a bit and increase the kick. Note that this recipe is based on a double portion. YMMV trying to make more or less, I've found that the proportions don't always scale properly. We typically use Duke's mayo, just because it's what we keep in the fridge. I suggest starting with 2 cups of mayo and the water, mixing, and slowly adding mayo until you reach your preferred consistency. We tend to make it pretty thick because we mix it into white rice.

    • mayo, 2 - 2.5 cups
    • water, 1/2 cup
    • tomato paste, 3 tsp
    • melted butter, 2 tbs
    • garlic powder, 1.25 tsp
    • sugar, 2 tsp
    • paprika, 1.5 tsp
    • cayenne, .5 tsp
    • OPTIONAL mirin or rice wine vinegar to taste
      • vinegar adds tang
      • mirin adds smoothness

    Bulleted list keyboard shortcut not working?

    Title. I tried changing the shortcut to a bunch of weird things to make sure another application didn't happen to be eating the particular combination. All other shortcuts I've tried so far have worked as expected. Running latest version, win 11 x64.

    How to disable chromecast enabled devices from showing on media streams?
  • This was the answer, but it seems to be bugged on the current samsung OS. Every time I lock my phone it comes back and I have to toggle that notification category on and off again. Blocking notifications from the app wholesale gets rid of them, but I'm worried I'd be turning off something important if I did that.

  • Recommend me a good exploration and trade indie game
  • Is combat focus a deal breaker? If not: Faster Than Light Volcanoids (early access) Darkest dungeon (kind of) Xcom

    If you step away from the ship, things like mass effect and outer worlds come to mind. If the ship can be a base there's a whole world there. Astroneer, planet crafter (early access), Starbound, terraria, Subnautica If exploration/colony sim is cool you're looking at factorio, rift breaker, frostpunk, ixion (hardcore!), satisfactory

    I expect I've stayed from your prompt at this point. It's a tough niche. Good luck with your search!

    Edit: on mobile, don't know why my line breaks didn't work. Forgive the formatting.

  • What is good to eat when you have no appetite?
  • White bread. Bland enough to avoid eating aversions and puts some energy in you. Plus, most people already have some! Not claiming it's healthy, but when I'm sick and the thought of eating makes me want to puke it manages to slip past my radar.

  • You know what the community is called, but because you judge the question to be stupid you're attacking them anyway by just changing the word? People like you are the reason communities like this exist in the first place. You make people afraid to express their curiosity and improve themselves as a person. Everyone has holes in their knowledge, and sometimes those holes are embarrassing. The best way to combat ignorance in our society is to foster a culture where people are encouraged to express their curiosity and educate themselves.

    lemmy.studio and sopuli.xyz are not populating for me. Probably soft blocked? Also, it may be worth opening and pinning a megathread for this topic so the community doesn't get spammed.

    Novice researching RPG rulesets
  • A great way to develop the most user friendly ruleset is to have them compete! Here's what I mean by this: once you have your top 5ish systems, just lookup 1 vs 2, 1 vs 3, and so on. You'll notice some rules that are coming up almost every time. These are the greatest pain points for users of that ruleset. From here, you can cherry pick the best of all worlds! A word of caution: if you intend to avoid a particular rule or style, consider why it exists in the first place. Often when a system keeps a part of the game most players dislike it's because that system is essential for maintaining balance somewhere.

  • What are some small, pocketable/keychainable items that are worth carrying everywhere you go?
  • My kit:

    • pocket knife
    • flashlight
    • wallet
    • folding phone stand
    • phone
    • earbuds
    • pen (with a cap, not a clicky)
    • sharpie
    • breath mints
    • 4' multi-end charging cable
    • thumb drive
    • lightning > 3.5mm (aux)
    • USBC > 3.5mm
    • bandaids
    • OTC drugs (Advil, Tylenol, Aleve, Benadryl, lactase (I'm lactose intolerant))

    Everything on that list was added because I needed it and didn't have it on multiple occasions. There have been plenty of other things that I would love to carry, but found too bulky to justify.

    A note to everyone recommending condoms: they do expire, and can wear through if carried in an environment with friction (wallet, pocket, etc). I prefer to play it safe and make a stop at a drug store should the need arise.

  • If one innocent person is tortured so that everyone else can live and the world doesn't end, is that simultaneously unfair but also morally preferable over complete destruction of everything?
  • This interpretation leaves out the most important part of the crucifixion story: Jesus willingly took on the world's sins out of love. So whether or not most Christians would say yes depends on if the one person being tortured has a choice in the matter, which is unspecified in the question.

  • What specific things are wrong with my installed copy of Brave
  • Long time Brave user here! This list of chromium features changed for privacy reasons may ease your fears. One of the founders of Brave, Brendan Eich, was actually CTO of Mozilla (firefox) for a time, as well as the creator of the JavaScript programming language used in web development. One of the large reasons he left to found Brave was that he became disenfranchised with unethical handling of user data. Before the first line of Brave code was written it was dedicated to providing a safe, private user experience.
