I tried to (loosely) remake Dinner at David's with veggie sausage, broccoli, onions and bok choy, seasoned with kecap manis (Indonesian sweet soy sauce), tahini, crunchy natural peanut butter, and nutritional yeast. If it were a President's Choice product, I would call this seasoning Memories of Salt Spring.
Anyway I'm pretty happy with the nut butter/soy sauce/nutritional yeast combo. I plan to conduct further experiments in this realm.
ALSO. Up until last week I was a microwave popcorn person. Then my budget lead me to discover that it is totally easy to make your own popcorn on the stove. WHO KNEW. We've done some experimenting this week and it seems to work best using almost 1/3 cup canola oil, on medium-high heat. When the pot and oil are good and hot, pour in enough kernels to cover the bottom (and put a lid on it, of course). Pow! Pow pow pow. Shake a little as necessary to make sure everything pops! Smother with melted butter and nutritional yeast, and then continue eating it long after you are full.
This looks so good! I would totally eat everything in these pictures. I share your love for nutritional yeast and making popcorn on the stove like the pioneers. When my friend Zosia taught me how, my microwave days were officially over.
ReplyDeleteReading your blog always cheers me up. I think me and Jay have similar styles of weeknight cooking. :)
Yes, the dark microwave days are over. But we make SOOOOOOOOOOO much popcorn now! How bad can it possibly be for you.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to pie adventures soon!
