Cactus Club Yam Fries & Garlic Aioli Sauce (taken from old post by Shred_Head)

You can make yam fries without using a fryer!

There's just one thing you've gotta do that's prob a bit different.. it's actually called "Oven Fry"

Preheat oven to 350 Degrees
But, when you preheat, throw in the baking pan (preferrably with a lip so oil doesn't drip over) and throw it in there while you're preheating, so that it's the same temp as your oven.

Hopefully your oven's calibrated accurately, if not, worse comes to worse, preheat at 360 - give or take.

Cut yams into fry sized pieces, toss with a little bit of oil, (hopefully you can make a 50/50 ratio of olive and canola oil**).

Take baking pan out of oven, pour about 25mL of oil onto the pan, wearing an oven mitt of course, move the oil around the pan so it coats it evenly.

Cook for about 4-5 minutes, toss around the fries so that you can have an uncooked side on the pan side, so that it crisps up evenly, or else you'll have half burnt-soggy yam fries.

Take out after about 8-12 minutes - season with paprika, ground pepper, cayenne, or cajun spices - no salt needed!

** you want a 50/50 ratio of the oil, because if you only use olive oil, it's smoking point is a lot lower than vegetable oil's, and you'd have to use a lower heat in the oven if you were to only use olive oil.

If you want to make the garlic dip, it's SO EASY.

8 cloves of garlic
olive oil
salt+cracked pepper
lemon juice
mayo

while you're preheating the oven at 350, place garlic into a tin-foil pouch, add a touch of olive oil, salt and pepper. close the pouch.

Let the garlic roast for about 15-20 minutes, or until soft.

Take out, let cool. In a mortar, grind garlic with a pestle. If you don't have that, just a cutting board and a knife.
Minced the garlic up finely, over and over again till it's a paste.

In a separate bowl, add a huge dallop of mayo, enough for your fries. add the garlic, and about 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. mix around. and season with s&p to taste.

There's your garlic aoli (from cactus)

I'm pretty sure those yam fries are actually sweet potato.

white spot original sauce anyone??

damm this feels so illegal haha

[hamsup]

I googled and found the below...

These days, if you ask for extra Triple-O sauce (yes! you can!) at White Spot, you’ll notice that you get little cup that has a white sauce and a red sauce on top. Let’s get right down to the theories. Let’s talk about the white sauce first and then the red sauce.

Theories for the white sauce:

1. Mayo (Homemade, traditional style)
2. Mayo with Honey and some paprika
3. Sweet Mayo with cayenne pepper
4. Mayo with some onion powder and cayenne pepper
5. Mayo with melted butter
6. Mayo with Orange Juice -hence Triple O? (probably not since Triple O meant triple the sauce)

Theories for the red sauce:
It seems like most people are in agreement that the red sauce is nothing other than:

Red Relish (also known as Hamburger relish) - eg. Bicks brand

[Shred_Head]

here's one i cooked for a special someone over the weekend for her bday:

Manila Clams en Papillote:
2 lbs live Manila Clams
1 stalk lemongrass
2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 thumb ginger, peeled and julienned
2 red thai chilli's, sliced
2t green onion, sliced
1 Juice & Rind of Kaffir Lime, or Indian Lime, or even kalamansi

250 mL white wine - I used Cabernet Sauvignon
1t butter, unsalted
1 sheet parchment paper

- Lay out parchment paper flat on a clean counter. Preheat oven @ 350.
- Drain water that you kept your clams in, making sure to get as much water out as possible. Discard any that are already open, as they are already dead. And you don't want that.
- Add all of the ingredients, minus the wine, placing them in the centre of one half of the parchment paper, making sure only to use a little bit of the citrus juice and a little bit of the grated rind, or else it'll be too overpowering. Reason it's going to be on half of the paper is because you'll be folding the paper over like a pocket.
- Fold the paper over so that both ends meet, and then starting for one side of the fold, start folding the paper over and over making a "pizza pocket" shape out of the paper.
- Before you seal off the other end of the paper, pour in the wine, this way you'll ensure it doesn't spill anywhere. Now the wine won't spill anywhere.
- Bake in the oven for approx. 15-20 minutes, until the clams have all opened up.
- Serve on top of greens, or on their own.

^and i drooled over it. u didnt give me any leftovers bitch.

if what you say is true. you are the greatest person ever to reveal the secret that is Triple O sauce. So it's a 2:1 ratio of mayo to relish?

I absolutely love the royal burger, can you tell me how to make it?

[Hondaracer]

I absolutely love the royal burger, can you tell me how to make it?

mm i havent worked at RR in like 6 years but i can try to remeber lol, the royal was also by far my favorite, but fuck by the time i finished working there i gained like 20lb's from eating all that garbage

Royal is somthing like

Mayo on both sides of lightly toasted bun
patty cooked then BBQ sauce UNDER the processed Canadian cheese [the processed canadian cheese is the biggest key to the taste imo]
a over easy egg on top of the patty
tomatoes
Lettuce
bacon

somthing like that i think

[murd0c]

i can probably find out for you

If you don't mind that would be awesome. I just love that dip for hot wings.

[Trinity]

I have a cookbook with hundreds of recipes from a whole ton of restaurants... I don't have a place to upload it, just PM me with your email address and I'll send it to you.

Recipes include:
- Applebee's baby back ribs
- Cheesecake Factory Bruschetta
- Cheesecake Factory Key Lime cheesecake
- Chick-Fil-A nuggets
- Cinnabon rolls
- Emeril's Creole seasoning
- General Tso's Chicken!
- Funnel Cakes
- Four Seasons Crab Cakes
- KFC Gravy
- KFC Original Fried Chicken
- Church's Fried Chicken
- Macaroni Grill Foccacia Bread
- McDonald's breakfast burrito
- Olive Garden Lasagna
- Olive Garden... whole bunch of stuff
- Red lobster... whole buncha stuff

I looked through a bunch of the recipes -all ingredients are things you can get at a supermarket, and doesn't require stuff like pressure cookers or stuff... Here's the KFC chicken recipe:


KFC Original Fried Chicken
2−3 pounds cut−up chicken pieces
1 Quart Water
3 tablespoons Salt (for soaking)
1 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon Accent (MSG)
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Soybean Oil (no substitutions) for frying
Allow chicken to soak in salted water for a half hour.
Mix egg and milk in a bowl. Mix flour, Accent, salt, and pepper
in another bowl. Preheat deep fryer to 350F, or place 3/4 inch
oil in a skillet set on medium.
Dry chicken with paper towels. Dredge in flour mixture, place in
milk/eggs, and then back to flour mixture. Do this one piece at
a time making sure that there is total coverage over entire
surface of chicken in each step.
KFC uses pressure cookers to fry chicken, which is risky to do
at home. If you are using a deep fryer, fry a few pieces at a
time for about 20 minutes, covered, turning occasionally.
Likewise, if pan frying, cook, covered, turning occasionally
for about 30 minutes. As always with chicken, check the middle
of a large piece to check for doneness.
Allow to drain on paper towels when cooking is completed.
Lemme know if you want this PDF.

[freakshow]

its just mayo and relish.

two on the bottom, one on the top.
or was it the other way around...
it's been a while since ive made a whitespot burger haha.
I'm fairly sure this is wrong.
As hamsup stated, the red relish is simply that - red relish.
However, they mayo they use is made in house, and not just store bought, so you can't exactly replicate Triple O sauce as easily as you'd wish.

[cspec]

does anyone mind email me the recipe?

Anyone knows how to make KFC gravy? mmm It's in the cookbook... But here ya go.

KFC Gravy
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
5 tablespoons all−purpose flour
1 can Campbell's chicken broth (plus 1 can of water)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon MSG or Accent Flavor Enhancer
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

First make a roux by combining the oil with 1 1/2 tablespoons of flour
in a medium saucepan over low heat. Heat the mixture for 20−30 minutes,
stirring often, until it is a dark chocolate color.

Remove the roux from the heat, stir in the rest of the flour, abd add the
remaining ingredients to the saucepan; mix well.

Put the saucepan back over the heat, turn it up to medium and bring the
gravy to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until thick.
