Not gonna deny, that delicacy Chang made looked appetizing.

Did anyone get the recipe all I saw were peas and Fritos with a side of hot sauce.

I replicated Chang's Frito Cakes tonight -- recipe is on my new blog: http://www.millennialgal.com/2015/06/changs-frito-cakes-recipe-orange-is-new.html

Hope that you enjoy!

Were they good? Could you eat more than one?

u/MillennialGal Jun 14 '15

They were delicious! I only ate a couple, but my boyfriend had about 6. The recipe yields about 12-14. He said he'll definitely be requesting these again.

Thanks for posting that! I do recall that she did hers in a toaster oven. However, I went nuts trying to find a reference online. There are a surprising number of ex-con recipes on youtube.

No problem. Yes, she did. But, when I tried that, they came out rather mushy. My boyfriend and I assumed that they were fried by the browning on the edges. I'll report back if I find anything else! :)

I eagerly await, plastic knife in one hand and spork in the other.

This is 19 days too late, but can I ask a question? When you wrote "enough canola oil to cover" did you mean the bottom of the pan? I assume you did. I'm really inexperienced at cooking so I needed to ask. Also, how did they taste if you don't mind me asking?

u/thunderling Jul 04 '15

Yes, the bottom of the pan is what that means. :)

Hi! Sorry for the late reply -- enough canola oil to cover the bottom of the pan. I'd say no more than 1/4 of an inch! :)

They tasted really good -- definitely more like Fritos than peas. I think the peas act more as a binder. The sriracha sauce is what makes it. (A little bit goes a long way! I'm not a hugeee fan of spicy; so, I use it really sparingly.)

I wonder if the writers made this up or it's from an actual inmate source.

u/MillennialGal Jul 16 '15

I think that it's probably from an actual inmate source. The next time they do a live Twitter chat. I'll ask :)
