Cut up, boiled dough pieces. Fried pork and chili oil. My poverty meal

[-]

SequenceofRees@reddit

Well that doesn't look so bad .

Maybe add a few beans/ chopped red pepper / chopped onion, and you've got yourself a pretty cool meal .

mikaylatryn@reddit

Bruh scoop a lil that parm in from the back

[-]

I think I've had something like this at a Chinese restaurant once. It was made from rice flour dough, rolled out, cut into pieces, and boiled. Then, they lightly stir-fried it with char siu and served it with green onions and soy sauce. I added the chili oil at the table, but and oh my god, it was fanfreakingtastic!

I even tried Googling the name, but couldn’t find it.

Specialist_Twist_833@reddit

Would you call them lightly fried rice filets?

刀削面? 面疙瘩?

So like, I found the dish, but all the links are in Chinese, so ya, this didn’t really help

I'm wondering now, how someone asks a question with a rising tone of hearty laughter...

Use google translate ha^ha^ha^ha^ha?

We definitely come from different generations because normally when I use that acronym in a sentence it’s not genuinely indicative of laughter

This dish in restaurants will either be called 麻辣炒猫耳朵 (Ma La stirfried Cats Ears pasta) or 麻辣剪刀面 (Ma La scissors cut noodles).

If it’s made from rice, it could be stir fried rice cakes 炒年糕

presidentkokoro@reddit

I've been searching on/off about this today, and a friend says it could be silverpin noodles, and the pictures I found look similar, but the dish was much simpler.

My ex used to work at Olive Garden as a server, but would fill in as a busser if they were shorthanded. While cleaning, she sees someone has left a small pile of parmesan on the table. She goes to sweep it up to find it was actually a pile of fingernail (toenail?) and skin clippings. Directly on the table. She said it was definitely more than one hand's worth.

Unfortunately I cannot see parmesan without that story popping into my head.

It's obviously cheese. OP is building a house made of Parmesan cheese, and is currently taking a break by eating something non-cheese-related. Also: they're poor because of all the cheese they had to buy as building materials.

Aren’t cut up boiled dough pieces technically gnocchi?

[-]

PseudocodeRed@reddit

My brother in christ that is pasta. You are describing pasta.

[-]

UntestedMethod@reddit

Thanks for explaining. I was trying to figure out why they would boil chunks of dough instead of just eating it raw.

[-]

queenlizbef@reddit

Why would you eat raw dough?

[-]

UntestedMethod@reddit

Because it's delicious?

[-]

queenlizbef@reddit

That’s an opinion unique to you, I fear. And raw dough is dangerous to eat, even if it weren’t disgusting taste-wise.

[-]

UntestedMethod@reddit

Thank you.

Just wait until your neighborhood bistro includes this language on their menu. And then we’ll rave to our friends: “I had the best cut up boiled dough pieces”

There's also gnocchi sardi (or the smaller version, gnocchetti sardi) which is gnocchi made of regular pasta dough.

Throw an egg in there and call it gnocchi carbonara. Now you're fancy.

If you want a protein rich version you can make the dough out of soft tofu and flour

It looks amazing. As a follow poverty noodle meal fan, started with Ramen in college to cooking my own poverty noodles now. shaved dough noodles. dao Xiao mian

Adds a little chill oilll. Bam! I'll eat that everyday. If you make chicken soup, use the extra shaved noddles add it to the soup 🤌

Got to any Indian store and buy rice. $20 for 20lbs, will last you for months. Easy to cook, good carbs, fills you up. Can pair with proteins and sauces easily.

SilverCompetitive902@reddit

Nice. My poverty meal is spinach cheese ravioli, with oil, salt, pepper, oil, and sriracha.

[-]

SilverCompetitive902@reddit

I'm in Spain and I don't know the prices or differences. Buts it's €1.50 usually for 250 grams of dry ravioli in the fridge section. And the other stuff I already have in the house normally. So pretty much just €1.50 plus whatever else I have to add

[-]

sardis92@reddit

Looks a little like Spetzle! Try that next time!

Was just about to suggest buying a Spätzlehobel. It is very easy and cheap to make, and Spätzle goes well with most dishes, ESPECIALLY pork.
