    Diet Smashburger Servings:  3 Prep Time:  3 minutes Cook Time:  5 minutes Single Serving Macros: 450 Calories 15g Fat 45g Protein 33g Carbs Single serving: 1 bun 6 oz (170g) beef, divided in 2x 3 oz (85g) patties 1 slice American cheese 2 teaspoons (10g) sauce 2 slices pickle Ingredients:   Sauce: 1 tablespoon (15g) light mayo 1 tablespoon (15g) yellow mustard 2 tablespoons (30g) Sriracha Salt and pepper to taste Burger: 1.5 lbs (680g) 96% lean ground beef, divided into 6x 3 oz (85g) patties 3 slices American cheese  Salt and pepper to taste (or a seasoning of your choice)  3 Dave's Killer 21 Whole Grain Burger Buns 2 large dill pickles, thinly sliced lengthwise Method: Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the light mayo, yellow mustard, and Sriracha. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Burger: On a nonstick griddle set over high heat, smash down your two burger patties using a piece of parchment between the burger and spatula to avoid sticking. Immediately season with salt and pepper to taste or another seasoning of your choice. After 2 minutes, flip the patties, season with salt and pepper to taste, and place a slice of American cheese on one patty. Work quickly as the low fat content of the beef may lead to dryness if overcooked. Lightly toast the buns on the same griddle without the addition of extra fat. Alternatively you can use a toaster for a better toast. As soon as the cheese is melted, place the other patty on top of the cheesed patty, cut the heat and prepare to assemble. Assembly: Spread 1 teaspoon of sauce on each side of the toasted bun. Lay your pickles on the bottom bun followed by your burger patties and the top half of the bun. Serve and enjoy.

Season with flakey salt just before serving to prevent sogginess.  Assembly:  Heat 4 corn tortillas over a direct open flame, flipping occasionally, until hot and slightly charred.

  • Instant Ramen-Filled Soup Dumpling Recipe from "Every Way to Make Instant Ramen"

    Turns out you can make homemade ramen without JUST following the package directions. Prep Time: 1 hour-Overnight Cook Time: 20 minutes Ingredients: 1 package (130g) Shin Black Ramen (use noodles and seasoning packets) 6 packets (42g) powdered gelatin 2 cups (300ml) water Dumpling wrappers Black vinegar, for dipping Method: Cook ramen in 2 cups of water, with the seasoning packets, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the noodles from the pot but keep the cooking liquid. Add the gelatin packets to the hot ramen cooking liquid and mix to dissolve. Add the noodles back into the seasoned liquid and coat the noodles well. This mixture will solidify and become your soup dumpling filling once cooled and solid. Place the mixture onto a ¼ sheet tray, spread the mixture evenly onto the sheet tray, cover, and place in the refrigerator to set, for at least one hour, or ideally overnight. Place a bamboo steamer basket lined with parchment paper over a pot of boiling water. When ready to make dumplings, release the noodles from the sheet tray and cut into ¼ inch cubes. Place about one tablespoon of cubes into the center of a dumpling wrapper, dip your finger in water and run your finger around the edge of the wrapper. Fold it over to create a pleat, stick that fold onto itself and then repeat each little pleat as close to the previous pleat as possible until you have made the whole dumpling; gently twist and pinch the hole. Repeat with the rest of the wrappers. Steam the dumplings for 10-12 minutes or until the wrappers are cooked through. Serve with a side of black vinegar for dipping.
