Fairfox: It's so good! I have onions, asparagus, peppers, baby carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, seasoned chicken and a nommy-sounding ginger-y sauce ready for later. Brown rice, too, with stock that I add in for extra flavor. Usually I buy water chestnuts for a 'crunch' but I forgot them :(.
CarrionCrow: I've seen those before, but something about them didn't work for me.
What do they taste like?
Fairfox: Honestly, fiddleheads just taste... green. I mean
good green, but they didn't exactly wow me; s'why I mentioned green beans, because they're not all that different, unless I did something wrong. Good texture, though. But yar, you have to clean them, cut the stems down if need be, boil them (because they can be toxic (!)), wash them under the cold tap, and then personally I fried 'em with garlic oil, salt, pepper and a pressed garlic clove.
Okay, that sounds extremely good now. If I don't have stir fry today, I'll be having it in the very near future.
Got a decent pan for stir fry a while back, it'll be nice to put it to use.
Think I'll find a sauce recipe that doesn't have a boatload of sodium in it to mix in.
Kikkoman sauces are good, but holy crap do they have a lot of salt.
So the pro is better texture, and the con is a lot of extra work. Thank you for the info, hadn't spoken with someone who's tried them before.
I'll probably give them a shot, see how it goes. More variety's a good thing, unless the new stuff is totally disgusting.
