He does this shiitake so i'll stop asking him to cook with me.

I do that shiitake to make cooking fun because cooking is BORING. It's all cleaning up after you!

I'm telling you guys, this is pure ratings gold!

For the 500th forking time, when I am making nooch sauce that has to be whisked constantly, I am not going to stop and put shiitake away!

That's it. This marriage is OFF!

So, would you say that it's the constant whisking that bakes in the flavor?

This is so much more entertaining than watching the Neeleys scream about pork chops and lick lard off each other!

It's not just nooch sauce! She never cleans as she cooks! Ever! When I'm not screwing everything up or baking in the flavor, I'm picking up bits and pieces left in her wake!

You're right, I don't clean while I am ACTIVELY cooking. I wait until something isn't gonna burn if I stop paying attention for a minute!

I WANT A SHOW OF THIS. I mean, just the thread is highly entertaining, can you imagine watching it?
Desdemona is right, this would surely take off.

MBM and brian, you two are fantastic. FANTASTIC.

Yeah but you don't pick up anything! Ingredients are strewn all over the place when you could just use what you need and put it away!

But if you put too much soy sauce, the curl won't brown. Perhaps that was MBM's concern? So get it a little brown, then give it some flavor, then proceed with browning. So I am on MBM's side there.

But I'm also on Brian's side because I think it's ok to say "baking in the flavor" even if you're sauteeing because it's a funny 70s cooking thing.

mrsbadmouth · **Posted:** Mon Dec 27, 2010 1:20 pm

You know what's really great? When I get everything out and ready to go, make one thing, and then you come along and put away shiitake that I haven't used yet or use again. That is so awesome.

I'm going to coat you in soy sauce and throw you in the oven when I get home, buttwit.

See? She still hasn't learned. She'd try to brown me first and then toss a little sauce on me, then the flavor slides right off and she's chewing on my flavorless insides.

Your marriage will bear the fruit of hilarious public arguments.

Team mbm.

You never add soy sauce first to something that's going to be panfried for more than 30 seconds. Soy sauce will burn long before proper crispiness is achieved.

mrsbadmouth · **Posted:** Mon Dec 27, 2010 2:03 pm

Your insides taste like poop and unfunnyness.

I'm pretty sure Chris and I have had this exact same argument. The worst is when I'm cooking at my mom's house and she puts shiitake away that I'm still using and then he sides with her about what a messy cook I am. Treacherous mustard!

I'm Team MBM all the way. Baked In Flavor™ is just another way of saying burnt soy sauce.

Now I see the problem. If you really want to bake in the flavor, you should add some soy sauce to your water.

Yeah, I'm team SSD on this one.

This thread is hilarious. I can't stop laughing. I love how brian manages to fit the term "bake in the flavor" into almost every post.

It's like his signature catch phrase; I think he should have a cooking show called BAKE IN THE FLAVOR! It would be like Paula Deen and her butter, or George Foreman with his grill; there would be all kinds of product tie-ins featuring his picture, with a talk bubble saying, "That's right; you have to BAKE IN THE FLAVOR!"

And there would be a live studio audience that just LOSES IT every time "bake in the flavor" is uttered.

Go ahead and ask her how the soy curls tasted, with the flavor baked in.

This question never got answered did it?

So how were they?

oooohhhhhh! Trademarked! Since you're Team MBM, does she profit from this in some way, like if T-Shirts are made, or if a television show happens? Because that would really suck for brian, who tried to make the saying happen in the first place.

There's nothing more disappointing than something-something sauteed to perfection with no flavor. Get the flavor into the MARROW. That must be done, in my experience, before the seared skin or crust forms on the surface of whatevs, pre-saute, because once that skin/crust forms, it seems to become harder for the foodstuffs to absorb the flavor. Also, I have never used soy curls, so I don't really know what you (or I) am talking about here.

What I'm saying here, in a word, is MARINATE.

brian · **Posted:** Tue Dec 28, 2010 12:03 pm

And what I'm saying is you gotta sauce it up and bake in the flavor!
