Sweet Cayenne Stir Fry Recipe

 Hello. C J here. It’s been ages since I did a food post here. If you’re new to the blog, hello! I wear a number of hats here but not all at once. Today I’m doing food. This recipe is currently the longest running recipe design project I still have after the completion of my cookbook Cooking With a Wolf – Food for the Busy Chef. The longest one I’ve done took 15 years to reverse engineer dragon soup by taste. This one has lasted around 8 years. Here is it, my recipe for sweet cayenne stir fry.

This recipe will be in the upcoming Quantum card game Expansion Food of the World, where I outline the five to ten most fundamental recipes in ten real world cuisine. I’ve already got the Spanish-Mexican  set done and I’m working here on Pan-Asian cuisine. All of the cards will feature hand drawn images of the food, crafting recipes in Quantum’s gems system, real world recipes and gameplay mechanics for use in the game. Find more recipes here under the Food label.

Ingredients
Two Cups Sticky Rice
Three Cups Water
One Batch of Fried Chicken (see Cooking With a Wolf for the recipe)
One Carrot
One Large Onion
One Quarter Cup Sugar
Two Tablespoons Soy Sauce
One Tablespoon Cayenne Pepper Sauce
One Tablespoon Corn Starch
Two Tablespoons Water

For the Stir Fry
Mix the sticky rice and water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cover for 20 minutes.

Trim the ends on the carrot and slice it in half long ways. Take both halves and slice them in half long ways again. Take the quarter carrots and slice them into 1-2mm half moons. Peel and finely dice the onion. The small pieces of vegetable will cook faster when they hit the oil.

In a small saucepan with the fan on heat the sugar, soy sauce, cayenne pepper sauce and one tablespoon of water. Stir until combined. Combine the corn starch with the rest of the water in a small bowl. Stir into the sauce and stir until the mixture becomes clear and thicker. Take off the heat.

Heat three tablespoons of canola oil in a chicken fryer over medium-high. Add the vegetables and stir fry for 3-5 minutes. Add the chicken bites and the sauce. Stir fry over medium-high for another two minutes.

Serve hot with the sticky rice.

Announcing Legend - Quantum

 Hello. C J here. I'm announcing today the official tabletop RPG companion to my upcoming video game line Quantum Dragon. The tabletop RPG companion is named Legend - Quantum. I finally get to write something in the Legend series again. I am very happy about this. The Legend series other than this one is done and will be out once its proofread, which may be a while from now. Reliably this series is the best work I've ever done on anything. I'm planning on writing setting and character sourcebooks for the whole game line as well but for now I'm working on the core book for the video game crossover. There's a free in-development copy in the Downloads page now. Have fun. C J Mcpherson

Minecraft Experiments - Steampunk Part One

 Hello. C J here. It's time for more Minecraft. This time we have some steampunk themed buildings. I'm doing these mostly as an experiment and they aren't in the part of the Astral I usually build, Ascala. Ascala needs more planning so I'm doing generic Astral themes instead of a specific nation this time. Remember that lighthouse form earlier? Well we're going in its direction this time. But first a long minecart ride from the underground station. And here we are in Port Stone. You'll notice the style of building is different. That's because it's a different part of the setting were building here. Here on the surface we have a boat waiting for us. We have a long voyage ahead of us. They've implemented some beautiful coral reefs in one of the previous updates. Believe it or not I've been playing Minecraft since before there were horses in it. Minecraft is still good. And here we are, at the new steampunk build site in the middle of an ocean. We h...

My New Favourite Video Game Part Two

 Hello. C J here. I’m just going to continue discussing the video games I’m playing for a while. I’m planning out another batch of Minecraft builds while I play Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team. It’s kind of weird that these are job activities for me but they are. The Minecraft builds need to be done so I can learn some more things about level design. The Pokemon game is what I’m doing for fun. At least it was. Pokemon make great inspiration for the work I do and the stories I write. I’m now having to make more time for it. Most of the characters in my setting are inspired by the Pokemon games. Our main characters Ivy, Blue, William and Benjamin are all based on some of the Pokemon in the first three generations. Ivy is specifically a fictitious all black Pokemon. Blue is an all blue togepi, William is a persian and Benjamin is a tauros without the horns. I’m going to get back to drawing humanoid versions of the first three generations eventually. These to my knowledge count...
