Porkchops could have been browned better but the pie took longer than expected and the natives were getting restless.

This recipe is about stir frying chicken. I'm going to list out the specific things that appear in the picture and explain what you should do with each one, but you can substitute the vegetables for anything you want. You can even change out the sauce quite a bit, although you might want to pay attention to the proportions of salty/sweet/sour/water.

Stir-frying: the basics
Stir frying is the best way to cook dinner because it all happens in one pan (except the rice). However, when starting out, your stir fries will be lame because you'll be like “one pan? I have that ready to go”, and you'll throw everything in at the same time and it will suck, and you won't understand why. The other thing you'll do is you'll try to cook everything on medium heat. That's ok, now you have a healthy pan of meat and vegetables to eat. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's missing something you didn't know you needed.

Once you master the art of cooking shit right at the edge of where it's burning (and even burning it a little on purpose) you will never be able to go back to how you cooked before.

Dividing the components
Here's a list of the ingredients in this recipe

•	Two boneless skinless chicken thighs. If you just have regular chicken thighs, just rip the skin off like an animal and then cut the bone out with a knife or some kitchen shears. You can try to tear the bone out like an animal too but it probably won't leave you with a very nice piece of chicken. Cut the chicken into small pieces.
•	A carrot (cut into small squares so it will cook quickly)
•	A celery stalk
•	4 cloves of garlic (chopped small)
•	A serrano pepper (seeds and pith removed, chopped into tiny pieces)
•	A red jalapeno (same)
•	½ a red bell pepper (sliced)

Sauce:

•	¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
•	1 tbsp black vinegar (use Worcestershire sauce if you don't have it)
•	2 tsp rice vinegar
•	1 tbsp white sugar
•	2 tbsp oyster sauce
•	2 tbsp water
•	2 tbsp Chinese cooking wine (difficult to substitute, I'd just leave it out if you don't have it)
•	Ginger powder
•	Black pepper
•	A spoonful of sambal oelek or whatever other spicy shit you have laying around
•	A slurry of 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water

If you are making this for two, consider using THREE chicken thighs.
Let the chicken warm up to room temperature for about an hour before cooking.
I marinated the chicken in soy sauce, sugar, and cooking wine while I was preparing everything else. This step is optional.

When stir frying, you typically have a bunch of shit that cooks for different amounts of time. You need to divide your workflow so that you're cooking everything only as much as it needs it. You generally have 4 categories of shit you need to cook in batches:

• Aromatics: in this case your garlic and hot peppers
• Vegetables: the carrot, celery, and bell pepper
• Meat
• Sauce

Why the different treatment of the bell pepper vs the hot peppers, you might ask? It's because the bell pepper is for flavor and should be cut into big chunks that you want to take a bite out of, and the hot peppers are diced and you should only generally notice their heat. The bell pepper should be crunchy when you're done, the hot peppers should be mush that blends into the sauce.

At the high heat we're cooking this at, the aromatics shouldn't cook more than 30 seconds. The vegetables need a couple minutes. The meat also needs a couple minutes. The sauce needs about 1 minute. You want to be prepared before you start, this all happens really fast.

Instructions
Heat up your wok or other type of pan (don't use non-stick, don't even think about it). My stove dial goes from 1-9 and I put it on 8. This is as hot as I will ever turn it up unless I'm boiling water. So you want your heat pretty high. You can tell it's ready if it's so hot that it's uncomfortable for you to put your hand within a couple inches of it.

Add some high temperature cooking oil (vegetable or grapeseed are good choices). If your pan is screaming hot, the oil will immediately begin smoking. You need to add something to it right away if it smokes.

Throw some chicken in the pan. If you have a large amount of meat, you usually want to do this in batches. But if you're only cooking 2 thighs, you can probably just chuck all of it in there. Try to spread it out into a single layer. Don't disturb the chicken for 45 – 60 seconds so it browns really good on one side, then start turning all of it to brown the other side. After about 2 minutes, remove the chicken from the pan.

Add some more oil, and dump the vegetables in the pan. The vegetables should generate a nice amount of steam. You may be able to scrape a lot of shit from the previous step off the pan (but don't worry if you can't, it will all come off during the sauce step). Keep stirring the vegetables for a couple minutes so the carrot softens. The bell pepper will probably start to char a bit. That will taste good, don't worry about it.

Move the vegetables to the sides of the pan, add some oil in the middle, then dump the aromatics in the pan. Stir them constantly for about 30 seconds, then dump the sauce right on top of them. Dump the meat back in the pan and stir everything together. Reduce the heat to medium and keep stirring so the sauce doesn't burn. Give it 30 – 60 seconds. If the sauce starts to stick to the bottom at all, take it off the heat, it's done.

Fair warning, I took the battery out of my smoke detector before I made this. The amount of smoke in my house was completely insane. My furniture probably smells like a barbecue, I know I do.

!grillers

Seasoned salt, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and a little olive oil in a toaster oven @ 425 for 15 mins

1.5 lb each, USDA prime. Too lazy to rotate the pic. Served with potatoes au gratin and salad. Yes I wiped the counter after. I misjudged how large the steaks were and used too small of a board, for reference its like 15”x11”.

I don't eat fast food that often but I went to McDonalds today and it was a sad experience. The fries were mediocre (and I normally love their fries), I don't know what knockoff ketchup they're using now but it was terrible, and the burger was below average. And worst of all it was $10.

Most of the fast food I've had recently is either still decent but even more expensive (Wendy's and Arby's are alright for example but a meal is around $15) or terrible and still moderately expensive for what it is. Taco Bell is basically the only one left where I feel like I can get half decent fast food for a reasonable price, and that's only if you stick to specific foods in a value box.

You are going to eat an egg. Generally speaking, which way would you prefer the egg be prepared?

All you BIPOCs tastebuds are still scarred from getting bombs by the Krauts so hard that even now you only eat and drink whatever you could find out of a ration, or alternatively take the contents of said ration and dump it in a crust.

Do you agree with them /h/food? I for one heard they don't wash their chicken in France. And Lawry's isn't being sold there either.

Important edit!: I totally forgot, this place doesn't take card, you have to use cash. There is an ATM just outside though. However I know some people don't usually carry cash, so make sure you have some bills.

Simply phenomenal, some of the best food I've had here in San Antonio. We ordered the coffee flight, Crabby Benny, the Veggie Omelette, and The Lone Star Breakfast with chocolate chip pancakes.

How this place works is they have very limited hours (only open 3 days a week with limited hours) and use a pay what you want system. They suggest $15 a plate, which might sound high but is reasonable considering how big the portions are.

The place is beautiful, it's a wonderful piece of property that has a nice charm to it. However the real star is the food.

This is The Lone Star Breakfast, it's 3 eggs your way, 2 meats, a potato side, and pancakes. I got the eggs over medium (they were over easy, but it's rare for a place to pull off over medium, I suggest getting them scrambled), bacon (very crispy, which is either going to be awesome or disappointing depending on what you are looking for) and sausage (phenomenal quality, probably the best breakfast sausage I've had in town. Next time I'm getting 2 of the sausage) as my meats, and the side in the cup is my potato side (it's a hashbrown and cheese casserole, it's like a potato Mac n cheese, it's wonderful). The plate doesn't seem like it's worth $15, but when I ordered the pancakes I thought they were going to be plain. Instead the waiter asked what toppings I wanted, and I thought I'd get a few chips. That's uh, not what I got, I got this:

All that for $15 is a steal, so I added some extra to the bill ($5). These pancakes are amazing, I've always believed Pancake Haus had great pancakes, but these are way better. They are extremely cake like, akin to a chiffon cake. They have a wonderful house made whipped cream, and a delicious chocolate sauce. These pancakes are so heavy I could only eat a quarter of them, easy 3-4 servings out of these.

My mom and dad split the Crabby Benny (the main photo on the post) and Veggie Omelette (see below), both also got the hashbrown casserole.

The Crabby Benny had a perfect hollandaise sauce, and the crab cake is fresh made daily. It's insane they are only charging 15 for this. These things can easily go for $18+ elsewhere.

The omelette was also amazing, cooked perfectly with great flavor.

We also shared a coffee flight, which we got for free because we are SA Restaurant Gold members (I mean it's a pay what you want place, so it's not like you can't just pay $1 for it. However I'd ask you don't do this, this place is awesome and worth paying extra for.)

The coffee was great, in order they were: cold brew with foam, Vietnamese iced with sweetened condensed milk, iced mocha with cream, and iced vanilla with cream. I loved the cold brew foam and Vietnamese iced, the other were good but not my thing. The flight changes every week, so if you visit they will have a different set of 4 coffees.

At the end of our meal we had plenty of leftovers, easily another meal. The portions are huge, making the $15 price more than fair. Another thing is the waiter offered many extra things, such as toast with the omelette, or toppings on the pancake. Normally this would bother me as I'd see it as upselling. However you aren't actually charged for any of this, so I was actually very pleased, you'd think they would want you to have less food, not more.

Overall I was extremely impressed, if you ever find yourself nearby, please give this place a try. You pay after the meal, so if you are on the fence, you can always pay under $15 if you aren't happy. However the food is so awesome I doubt you'd want to.

Coin price for the first one to guess who posted this. It's someone you will have heard off.

My mom is part of a group called the "San Antonio Restaurants Gold Club" which costs $8.88 a month, we've been to multiple participating restaurants and gotten our money's worth. The group decided to host a private event to test the waters for such a thing. She was allowed to bring +1 (and due to another person's +1 cancelling, we were able to get another +1) so me, my mom, and my dad went to the event. It was completely free so I had no reason not to go tbh.

The event was sponsored by the Boeing Center, so the restaurants were the ones that are normally part of the center anyway and not actually part of the Gold Club. Good thing to because all the food sucked.

The event center itself was lame and cringe tbh. The style of the building (despite being brand new) reminded me of centers built 20 years ago, and not in a good way. It's also a 40 minute drive, so I would not see a reason to return. The live events they had lined up all seemed boring, nothing interesting to me. The lighting was this obnoxious blue, so forgive me for the poor lighting in many of the photos. It had a lan center, which while neat, is not interesting to me (I already have a good gaming PC). It also had a sort of tech museum, which was a bit empty, and had terrible lighting (just like the rest of the establishment). The bathrooms were clean but odd, the door didn't close fully and the paper towels were really thin. The parking was free and convenient though, only thing going for it. Overall the Alamodome is vastly better in pretty much every way, despite being way older.

The restaurants are as follows:

La Tierra de la Birria

Couldn't tell what I was eating because it was so bland, bunch of different flavors that simultaneously clashed and tasted like nothing.

Capo's Pizzeria

This is supposedly SA Express' "Best Pizza", which makes me wonder if anyone working there has taste buds. The pizza tasted like the stuff you get at a school cafeteria, I had Little Caesars the next day and I found it tasted better. Also an 18" cheese pizza is $19.50, lmao.

Earl Abel's

The chicken & waffle was half great, the chicken itself was pretty good, the waffle was some frozen Eggo like that was soggy and bland. The syrup was forgettable. They also had a burger that was decent enough, but had so much coleslaw that it overpowered everything else.

Smokin' Cocina

They had some pulled pork sandwich (I think) and chicken leg, both sucked. The leg had spicy radish, spicy sauce, and a spicy rub. All I tasted was spice, it overpowered everything else. The sandwich bun was dry af, and had practically no meat, it was mostly veggies, but at least it was edible.

Mr. G. Sushi

I understand sushi being tough in a place like San Antonio, however Godai exists, so it is possible to have great sushi here. Mr. G. is not great sushi, they had a spicy tuna and someone else I wasn't sure about. The fish tasted mediocre and the sushi itself was HEB quality, it was fine, but certainly not premium.

Savage Coffee Co.

Behold! The one thing here that wasn't mediocre or worse. In fact, the coffee they had was amazing, truly top tier. We liked the coffee so much we bought some drinks separate from the free stuff. If you are at this center for an event, this is the only place worth giving money to. They use beans from a place called What's Brewing, which has the best beans in town. I live right next to What's Brewing, and 40 min away from Savage, so I probably won't visit this place often. However it is a great equal to What's Brewing, and if you find yourself in this part of town, it's worth a stop. They do close at 2:30 pm though, so they aren't open all night.

Full Service Bar

Ok, back to trash. Jesus Christ, this place has to have the worst drinks I've ever had. The event allowed each person to get 2 free drinks, I didn't bother to redeem the 2nd and I only had 2 sips of the 1st. I ordered something called Smash Bros (they host smash competitions here weekly apparently), which put me on a list I'm sure, but it also tasted like shit. The description was "Blueberry Smash made with Jack Daniels Bonded", which isn't what I got lol. Yes it had blueberries, but it tasted like a mojito, it had mint and a strong citrus flavor. I didn't taste any blueberries whatsoever, despite 3 being visible on the drink. I've never had Jack Daniels (I usually drink mid shelf, not low) so I have no idea if that's just how Jack Daniels is or if this was a shitty cocktail, I suspect both. I literally couldn't finish it. My mom got 2 margaritas (the Area 21), she said the first was fine, but the second was absolutely undrinkable. Taco Cabana has better margaritas, and if you've been to a Taco Cabana this decade, you'd know how much of a condemnation that is.

A quick note, Yuengling had beer samples. They had the original, flight (diet beer), and Oktoberfest. Good beer, not for me though. The beer they offer is pretty sharp and very carbonated, which just isn't my thing. Most other people actually redeemed the vouchers for the various on tap beers, which I think says a lot because beer can be bought for much cheaper than the cocktails.

Overall I had a wonderful time! I loving pooping on terrible trash, and I enjoy it even more when it is free lol. If you are thinking about going here for food, I suggest literally anywhere else. If you want a great coffee drink, Savage is worth a visit. Everything else? Avoid.
