Im looking for new ideas to cook food out of my usual repertoire. It can be anything tasty, dinner/lunch related, spicy, cakes, sweets, vegetarian/vegan, breakfast, snacks, sauces, I’m interested to hear about it! 🍽️

    My “I’m dead and I can’t be bothered staple”: white rice topped with a fried egg and chili sauce (sambal is my preferred)

    New recent favorite I have added to the repertoire since discovering it on a recent trip is Gräwes, a traditional German wine region food of Sauerkraut simmered in riesling, mixed into creamy mashed potatoes. Serve with a smoked pork product and mustard (we usually do some kind of brat).

      Nice! I’ll bolster motivation to make sauerkraut eventually. It’s said to be easy, but I haven’t gotten that far on my fermentation journey yet.

      Rice with egg is so common here. I prefer it with fried plantains, but a spicy sauce could really jazz things up.

        Sauerkraut is super simple to make! It’s also very econimical. You don’t need fancy equipment either Canning jars (like Ball brand) work great, food safe plastic containers. The hardest thing is finding a way to keep everything submerged during fermentation. You can find glass and stone ‘weights’ online and there are plenty of DIY ways.
