    Using pineapple juice as a marinade: if you use canned shelf stable pineapple juice, the enzymes are reduced. It will not be as mushy. Fresh pineapple juice or juice you get from a container that needs refrigerated has way more bromelain in it. You should not use that for long marinade times.
    Quick tip: if all you have is fresh or refrigerated juice, put it in a saucier and bring it to a low boil. Keep boiling for 5 minutes at the lowest heat setting you can muster. Then let the juice cool down to room temperature naturally. A significant portion of the enzyme becomes denatured, reducing the mush potential.

    • @Null_Experis
      @Null_Experis 4 месяца назад +2

      another solution is to marinate without the pineapple, then mix it in just before cooking as you're building the meat tower. You'll still get some effect, but it will be greatly reduced.

      @@katl8825 you need to give it time to breakdown, but yeah. Cooking the cilantro deactivates the soapiness, as does letting it sit for a while (at least 10 minutes but sometimes longer) mixed with citric acid or allicins. This means you don't want to wash your onions after chopping if you're mixing them with cilantro.

    Yea, the expansion has some weird quirks when describing the tacos in the game. One of the characters describes the tacos as having a crunchy(!) corn tortilla, while the Culinarian crafting recipe has it using rye (why?!) flour to make a flour tortilla, then the actual model of the tacos you see are clearly flour tortillas.

      I mean, it's Yok Tural, not South America. They've done the same with Sharlayan (vaguely Greek-ish), Yanxia (vaguely China-ish), Hingashi (Japan-ish, maybe a bit more detailed for obvious reasons), Thavnair (India-ish), etc.
      All that said, the recipe also uses "Alien Onion", so I'm not sure if rye flour is the most outrageous ingredient.
      I think they're a bit restricted by the way they balance the economy and for example make sure different ingredients have vaguely the same usefulness across the board.

    7:10 a reason Alvin could hate the taste of cilantro is that, for some ppl, their genetics play a role in how the olfactory receptors on their tongue pick up certain tastes - leading to more of the “soapy” flavor enzymes that cilantro has in its leaves. I personally know a couple people who cannot stand cilantro at all, and I tell them this exact thing can be part of the reason why that is, so I guess my psych degree paid off somewhat in the end.

    tortillas should be put in the comal inmediatly after pressing, that will help with texture

    I can personally assure you that Porxie, in spite of being a product of creation magics rather than a natural beast, does indeed posses similar Aetheric Density to Alpaca. After the final days, it's certainly a much easier food to source then trying to cross the Indigo Deep for meat all the way from Urqopacha, especially given that the Pelu merchants drive a harder bargain than most Hannish merchants.

    I learned a new way to cut up limes for maximum juice extraction - place the lime in front of you so one of it's ends is facing you, cut off a cheek, rotate, cut the next cheek, rotate, cut, rotate cut and you'll end up with 4 cheeks and a little central rectangular bit and all of them juice way better than wedges.

    While the pineapple juice may have affected the meat as well, I think an even bigger influence was the cooking method. Tacos al pastor are usually cooked on an open side flame and constantly spun so that no side gets too charred and as soon as you slice part off the newly exposed meat starts cooking more as well. I don't think everyone can have a shwarma style machine hence the oven, but I feel that's where the biggest difference is; take it from a guy from Mexico

    a little disappointed you didn't get alpaca meat. how comparable is pork? is alpaca even white meat? wouldn't lamb have been a closer substitute that is still more commonly available?

      @@the-sillycate that makes some sense then, but I still think that since this is based on the in-game recipe, they should have gotten as close to alpaca meat as reasonably possible instead of just using a real world recipe

    Nicely done! Eventually I hope to see the dish from a certain part of the main storyline, but that's spoilers 🤫
    The meat cooking method aside, it's pretty much the same as the recipe on the "Turali Culture" page of the promotional site.
    Step 2 includes: "Substitute parsley for cilantro if you're one of the rare folks who think cilantro tastes like soap"

    Best way I ever had al Pastor (in Mexico, mind you) was in Aguas Calientes - similar to it was done in the end. Large flour tortillas, Aguas Calientes cheese (similar to mozzarella, I guess) with the al Pastor, lime, and cooked pineapple.
    For some reason I never learned, they call them Gringas.
