Whether you boil, stuff or braise it, cabbage is a canvas. We chew into eternity as we become Cabbage Heads and discover that this beloved of brassicas will one day save us all. Get ready to ooh and ahh. STIR-FRIED CABBAGE Cabbage Ginger Soy sauce Rice wine Vegetable or peanut oil Rice vinegar This is more of a method than a recipe. Cut green cabbage into rough one-inch squares. (A quarter-head of cabbage makes a good side dish for two people.) Prepare a teaspoon or two of minced ginger. Pour one tablespoon each of soy sauce and rice wine into a small bowl. Heat a wok or skillet over high heat. Add the oil and heat until you see a wisp of smoke. Add the cabbage and cook, stirring every 30 seconds or so, until well browned and a bit charred in places, reducing the heat slightly if necessary. Add the ginger and stir to combine. Drizzle in the soy sauce mixture, reserving a little and tasting for a good level of salt. Cook until the soy sauce and rice wine has evaporated. Stir in 1 teaspoon rice vinegar and serveLinks:All About Braising: The Art of Uncomplicated Cooking - Kindle edition by Molly Stevens.

Today, the Rice Cooker Vigilantes confront patent trolls and scary rap to bring you lots and lots of science. We drop truths you may not be able to handle, such as how dentures are like pressure cookers, whose instant pot is best and the ups and downs of natural vs manual release. Instant Pot Chili This is loosely adapted from Cook's Illustrated, March/April 1998. As specified, this makes a very intense and medium-spicy chili. If you want to substitute commercial chili powder for the dried chiles, use 4 tablespoons and omit the cumin. 3 pounds beef chuck, trimmed well of fat and cut into 1-inch cubes 3 dried ancho chiles 3 dried New Mexico chiles 2 dried pasilla negro chiles 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano 1 tablespoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon dried coriander 1/2 teaspoon MSG 5 garlic cloves, minced 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 onion, diced 2 jalapeños, seeded (if desired) and minced 1 tablespoon lime juice 1 8-oz. can tomato sauce 1/2 cup water Toast the chiles. The easiest way to do this is in the microwave. Put them on a plate and start with 30 seconds on high; remove any that have puffed up and continue at 30-second intervals until they've all puffed. Let them cool for five minutes and grind in a spice grinder. Combine the chile powders with the salt, oregano, cumin, coriander, MSG, and minced garlic. Set the multicooker to Saute. Heat the oil and add the onion and jalapeño. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chile powder mixture and stir until well-mixed and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the beef, lime juice, tomato sauce, and water. Stir to combine. Lock the lid, set the multicooker to Manual and cook for 35 minutes with natural pressure release. The chili will be very thick and rich; feel free to add water to dilute as necessary. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Straight from your friend's freezer case, today we present Mouth Pillows. We wish for a robot chef or at least a nonna while debating whether this is really just a dumpling by another name. Don't you worry, of course Molly's "Italian" accent makes an appearance.

Today, we are slippery and unstable as we discuss Frosting in all its weepy glory. We reminisce over rosettes, butt milk and our empathy for electronics. Are you a corner or middle slice person? Or do you take after Matthew and not like cake at all? Monster.

Today the rhizome of podcasts discusses the second best food in the world, thai curries. As we lament our lack of mortar and pestling skills, we wonder where Whoopie went and which Swayze is best. This episode is dedicated to ski jump breasts everywhere.

Today we taste what is possibly the world's most dangerous drink, Mountain Dew. We discover how a soft drink is like a dating app and the job opportunities for a Soda Sommelier. Trigger warning for any listening Sour Patch Kids.

Today we wade through traumatic children's literature and a research rabbit hole to bring you Brinner. While debating just throwing an egg on it and the history of PDA, we arrive at the profound conclusion that lunch is dinner is breakfast is lunch. Perhaps love is like consuming waffles late in the day.

Welcome to The Booch where we simultaneously risk death and health to discuss that effervescent dream drink of hipsters everywhere, Kombucha.

Today we are bullish and apocalyptic while discussing the most calming of teas, chamomile. We learn about Molly's mortal fear of caffeine, her coolness level in college and then we promptly fall asleep. Some really riveting stuff.

Today we (very carefully) taste molten meat inside flaky crusts and diagnose Meat Hand Syndrome while Molly gives us another signature Hot Take. Trigger warning for people who are sensitive to terrible words. Like Producer Abby, who has done nothing but love and support the podcast and does not deserve this sort of treatment. CORNISH PASTIES Makes 5 large pasties FOR THE CRUST 25 ounces flour 1 tablespoon kosher salt 2.5 ounces cold lard, cut into chunks 1 stick (4 ounces) cold unsalted butter, cut into chunks 12.75 ounces cold water FOR THE FILLING 2 pounds chuck steak, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, plus some minced beef fat (trimmings are fine) 2 pounds russet potatoes 1 medium onion, diced flour salt and pepper 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley FOR THE EGG WASH 2 eggs 2 tablespoons milk Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, lard, and butter, mixing with your hands until the fat is in pea-size chunks. Slowly drizzle in cold water, stirring, taking care not to make the dough too wet--check by pressing it into a ball, if it doesn't fall apart into dry chunks, it's ready. Add more water a teaspoon at a time if if needed. Divide the dough into five balls (about 9 oz each). (You can refrigerate the dough up to 24 hours at this point.) Roll the first piece out to a 9-inch circle. Pile the center of the dough with generous layers of potatoes, meat, onion, parsley, suet, and 1 tsp flour. Sprinkle each layer generously with salt and pepper. (I like to make a salt-pepper mixture in a bowl, like they do at Subway.) Using your fingers, moisten the edge of the dough with water and lift the two sides of the pastry to seal on top. Crimp edge with your fingers to hold it together. Place on a sturdy, parchment-lined cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining balls of dough. Beat the egg and milk together in a small bowl. Brush each pasty with the egg mixture and cut two slits in the top with a sharp knife. Bake 30 minutes, then reduce oven to 350 degrees and continue baking 30 more minutes. Cool on a rack 10 minutes before serving.

This episode was 7 years in the making. Today we dive deep into this Dad food staple finding that a little cheese goes a long way. After some lipstick woes, herbal liaisons and painful high school memories we eventually get super French. Because of course we do.
