There's a really popular Burmese restaurant here and a tea leaf salad is their signature dish. Tried replicating it and I came really close. Ratio of ingredients was a little off, but I can easily adjust for next time. Amazing meal. Especially for how easy, tasty, and cheap it is.

There's fish sauce in it? Only meat that typically goes in this is dried shrimp.

so it seems many of us use carbon steel, if you want to invest in the time and car and dedicate it solely for eggs which most of us do
i don't believe nayone uses cermic pans much? we've all tried em, i believe most of us think it sucks, if youre gonna go non stick go for the king and use teflon
americas test kitchen has this as their winner
OXO Good Grips Non-Stick Pro, 12-Inch, Black
be careful in buying, they only list the "PRO" version as their choice pick, oxo has other non pros

i really recommend the fish spatula, plus if youre like me and decide, maybe you want to throw a sausage or two on your egg only pan, and maybe the link got a bit stuck, just do a quick scrape with the fish spatula, cuz you can just bring that to the dishwasher.

I went with the Tramontina from Amazon when it was ~$25. This two pack brings it down a bit more.
Amazon product ASIN B07D6YTW6C
I figure it's better to get one on the cheaper side and just re-buy when I eventually scratch it or wear the coating off.

So I am staring, for the first time, to experiment with different crusts and pastries. I've now done hot water crust a couple of times (for hand raised meat pies), and the kids just love it. I've done the same dishes with regular pie crust and they don't love it. Hot water crust and it's a sensational hit.
What other crusts do people do for things that is successful?

It's sturdy, patchable, and you deserve it.

Something I like doing right now. I don't like chorizo usually because mushy sausage is not my thing. However using a small amount, like one ounce, of it instead of oil provides a great deal of flavor to anything.
A favorite is to do this with some poblanos and cheese like was mentioned in here. Or eggs.

I like the vodka pie crust recipe that has both butter and shortening ok...I may use lard instead of crisco if I have it in the pantry....but the crust itself is really forgiving.
I never use a food processor even though some recipes call for its use. My pastry blender or just my fingers and a fork have always served just fine.
I have tried many recipes over my lifetime and I really like that one in both sweet or savory applications.
I will however give the hot water recipe a go!

I'm in no way knocking hot water crust, I'll eat nearly any hand pie handed to me. That said, the reminder here is that the originators of hot water crust were looking for a *wrapping material* that was also edible and cheap/easy. The Cornish pasties were Mine food for miners. These things were expected to survive in a clothing pocket till lunch time.
As such, you want to look for and expect an entirely different set of characteristics than a biscuit, or a pie crust, or shortbread or or or..
