I've been trying to remove several vanilla recipes and realized the ones I am trying to remove don't work because they use tags by Forge.
For example, I can easily remove the Melon recipe but I can't remove Fishing Rod recipe.

I copied over the file from vanilla datapack and put it in data.minecraft.recipes with the same naming format (for example: melon.json or fishing_rod.json) and changed the output to air and it does not work for the Fishing Rod recipe. This is also true for other recipes that use tags by Forge.

I also read this forum post from a while back:

But I am not understanding how this user was able to replace Forge recipes.
Here is vanilla fishing_rod.json file: https://hatebin.com/zqhejklbgm
Here is my fishing_rod.json file put in data.minecraft.recipes: https://hatebin.com/quqkzvlrhj

Do you mean that I am putting Forge as my dependency and setting "ordering" to AFTER? If so, would it look like this?

[[dependencies.forge]]
    modId="forge"
    mandatory=true
    versionRange="[36,)"
    ordering="NONE"
    side="BOTH"

(not 100% sure how to reference Forge as my dependency. Assuming it's just "dependencies.forge")

Could you guide me on how I can do that? The only mods.toml file I was able to find was inside my own mod in META-INF folder.

From my understanding, the MDK is where the gradle is setup and all its subfolders? I looked in there and I couldn't find anything.

Right, I have looked in there. Not exactly sure what I am looking for other than mods.toml file.

So we are talking about the mods.toml inside META-INF folder? Ex: Projects\Minecraft\Brimheim\src\main\resources\META-INF. This is the only mods.toml I can find inside my MDK.
But what am I adding dependency of? I get that I need to set the "ordering" to AFTER but what am I setting the "ordering" of? Forge??

Right. I get that. But what is my "dependencies"? [[dependencies.???]] my own mod ID?? I know its definitely not examplemod.

I did:
[[dependencies.brimheim]]
    modId="forge"
    mandatory=true
    versionRange="[36,)"
    ordering="AFTER"
    side="BOTH"

Is that correct?

Well I can still craft the Fishing Rod even after I changed it.

For the String and Rods (sticks)?

I have no idea what you mean either. Can you be more specific? Which json file are you talking about?

All the ones in data.forge.tags?

How will that fix my crafting issues with fishing_rod.json file when it doesn't even use/reference any tags I added in that folder?

So you just downloaded my source code and loaded it up and it doesn't allow you to create the Fishing Rod? I can still craft it and I uploaded exactly as is and I haven't touched it.
