i can make food well in general. i make whatever i feel like eating. i only cook vegetarian food cus i dont wanna touch meat. Im really good at homemade mac and cheese and pretty good at riceballs or at least those are two things i commonly make.
I don't get the big deal with touching meat. It's gross at first but then you get used to it. My mom always has me make that spicy pepper soup with leftover chicken breast, shit is cash

i actually learned from Grant. It's super easy tho. he learned from a video that maybe he would be able to tell you about, and i've been doing it from memory since then. my first thing to put in the middle is fried tofu + mushrooms btu i havent tried to make any sweet ones yet
Well I'm a kitchen manager/ head cook and I've been cooking nonstop for the last 2 years and intermittently for the past 7.
My current specialties would be anything breakfast. Oooohhh a really good eggs Benedict with a rich and creamy hollandaise. I'll whip that up any time.
I'm also pretty amazing at cleaning, preparing, and cooking steaks. Especially for a vegetarian. Tenderloin steaks off a freshly cleaned tenderloin look so scrumptious. So does a freshly trimmed ribeye. The Asians at the uni are in love with my ribeyes. I think they consider it a great cultural experience of traditional American fare and just need to order one of the more expensive steaks. Always tenderized before service ad perfectly seasoned.
As for my traditional fallbacks, ill always go for some homemade sweet and sour chicken, any sort of stir fry, wontons, or egg rolls. All of which can be fancied up with any sort of ingredients you want. Play the field bitches
As for specifically vegetarian foods, I make delicious black bean burgers. Every restaurant I've seen try to make those home made fails miserably. It just ends up being nothing but a mass of fried black bean and bread crumb. You need to add substance you dumbfucks. It's for VEGEtarians. Cut it with all the veg you can find! Cut the bread crumbs with some seeds or oats and don't fuck up the seasoning.
Sweet and sour tofu is a great one too. Just requires heavily pressing and drying out the tofu and frying it. And I'll make either a traditional tomato based s&s sauce, or a yummy lemon and orange citrus based nom nom.
There's so much more. I should start a list.
I make a lot of soups or bulky stir-fries or casseroles, mostly.
Stuff that comes with a lot of left-overs so I don't have to cook on days where I have class and work from 6.am to around 8 or 9pm.
I was going to say onigiri! Here's that video:

Though really you don't need to do any of that stuff, that's just my favorite kind to have. (with mushrooms inside) They're good with just plain sushi rice too, and something inside. (chicken is another good filling)
I have right amounts of everything in teaspoons, cups, etc. written down for the ones in the video if you'd like them though.
Sweet ones are tricky, though I've only done it once. I cooked the rice in sugar water, and it was sweeter and all but I think I just prefer savory dinner-type ones.
I can also make steak and burgers pretty well. I don't cook a whole lot myself and I'm bad at coming up with meals to make based on the food I have, but I've helped make dinner since I was little so as far as execution, following recipes, and seasoning things, I'm pretty decent.
often the smell of those will just pop into my head and it's really comforting
one of my favorite foods
Erhm, we just call those doughnuts, Hiroman
this one's good for other ideas:
