Pasta 101

Did you know cooking Pasta is as easy as cooking Mee Goreng?
Al- Dente
- Firm when bitten
- Some like it firm, some like it soft
- Most of the time, younger people like it firm, older like it soft
(Sounds like erectile dysfunction due to aging?)

My favourite brand of pasta

Recipe:
1) Boil Water  (The water should cover the Pasta)
- Add 1 tsp of Salt for Every 1L of Water
- (I would just throw in a random amount of salt)*Free style cooking
2) Add Pasta
- Stir well for the first 30 seconds to prevent it from sticking
3) Boil for 7-10 minutes
- Look at the packaging for more precise timing
- The only way to know it's done is by eating
4) Strain it dry
- Let it cool down by itself if you are using it soon

Otherwise; Here's a handy tip about Pasta:
*If you are keeping it for later use
1. Rinse the pasta with water till it's cool
2. Strain it dry
3. Drizzle with oil and mix it (Prevent it from sticking)
4. Do you know in restaurant we pre-pack our pasta according to a fixed weight? We would just take it out from the fridge and use straight when there's an order?
5. Store the pasta in a Tupperware/ plastic bag in the fridge (Can last up to 5 days)

 How many types of Pasta are there out there?
 *If there's Pokedex for Pokemon , how about Pastadex for Pasta?

Guess what? It made me into a real man!
Here's my version of Carbonara, aka Yimz Carborana (Yimz was a nick given by one of my good old friend)
