David Chang: The unified theory of deliciousness
MY FIRST BREAKTHROUGH on this idea was with salt. It’s the most basic ingredient, but it can also be hellishly complex. A chef can go crazy figuring out how much salt to add to a dish. But I believe there is an objectively correct amount of salt, and it is rooted in a counterintuitive idea. Normally we think of a balanced dish as being neither too salty nor undersalted. I think that’s wrong. When a dish is perfectly seasoned, it will taste simultaneously like it has too much salt and too little salt. It is fully committed to being both at the same time.

this little japanese fast food stand opened in essex market. i just grabbed the fried chicken slider which was pretty good but the goto is their cabbage-infused pancake sliders w/a variety of meat fillings. tough sell at that market since it closes so early. they get no dinner service and theres just not enough traffic. nice couple that run it.

What oil do people use for sautéing? I use grape seed because it has a neutral flavor and I have an unscientifically weird feeling about canola but maybe there is something better? Just curious.
