I've been becoming more of a fan of oolong tea, I really like that it has a delicate taste but with more body to it than a green tea. It's a good balance between green and black teas.

Are there any good loose-leaf brands? I have been meaning to get into it.
Are there are

Restocked my tea stash, haven't had any puerh in years. This will last me quite a while. One cake each of sheng and shou, also one packet each of portion sized mini cakes, sheng (round in paper) and shou (squares) also. The sheng cake smells delightful. Only tried the shou portions yet and they're fine everyday tea, the leaf pieces are more like the small stuff you'd find in a teabag than the big pieces of a real cake. The sheng mini ones look like they're the regular leaf size though.

>>983
Know I'm way late in replying to this, but maybe somebody else browsing past will find the info helpful anyway.
Since you can brew the same leaves so many times over with most puerh it's good to have a very small teapot if you're only making for yourself. I don't even use a teapot myself, just a cup of roughly the same size as the cup I'll pour it over into through a sieve. Can use a small plate as a lid. For the money of a decent teapot I can get several small cakes of puerh instead.

Forgot to add, also picked up a extra large tea strainer at the same place. Always found it annoying that the regular sized ones get completely filled and clogged by the tea when it swells up so it doesn't allow any flow through at all. Which is why I never use them and instead use method described in post above.

Hoping this will fix the issue and let me have a bit simpler prep for loose leaf. There was even a size even larger but that won't even fit inside my regular cups.

Not japanese per se, just inspired, but I really enjoy any wasabi flavoured snacks. Wasabi nuts (peanuts in a green spicy crunchy baked shell) are a favourite. Wasabi flavour chips/crisps are amazing, a shame most stores around here don't even stock them, have to make a special order online.

Also gotta say, I always felt chips/crisps and peanuts never felt right as a snack to beer for me even though it's supposed to be a classic, flavours clash, but pic related are really good as a beer snack. Complements beer real nice. Would be even better if they had seaweed flavoured ones, but you have to go to an asian imports store to get seaweed snacks.

I got to try a pear cardamom artisan soda from France recently, I liked it quite a bit. A mild and complex taste, great for sipping on its own, with no need to mix it. It came in a 1l bottle with a rubber stopper, something I wish all artisan sodas would do.

Can we talk about dishes that don't require a lot of effort to cook?
Do you have some tips to make a relatively simple dish taste great, or maybe enhance something that doesn't even need to cooked?
For example, for the most delicious cheese toast ever, try to spread a layer thin or thick, don't be afraid to experiment!
of mayo on a slice of bread should be a really soft type of bread, white farmhouse is perfect. Avoid thin slices then cook on a frying pan with the mayo facing down. While the breads cooks, put the cheese on it so it can melt. Fry until the mayo side is of a golden color. Do the same for the other slice of bread.

I dunno if anyone else knew about this, most people just build the sandwich and pop it in the oven.

Cabbage
Carrots
Pickled onions
Olive oil
Apple cider vinegar
Soy sauce
Maseca
Eggs

Simmer vegetables in oil, vinegar, and soy sauce until tender. Add maseca and eggs, and cook until eggs are solid. Best enjoyed while watching isekai anime or summer romcoms.

Sauerkraut is really nice in soups and stews, just make sure to give it a rough chop before you put it in to not get long stringy pieces.
It's really salty so it replaces any need to add salt to the dish, and it has a nice acidity to it that's unlike (apple cider or balsamic) vinegar which I find a bit too round in some dishes.

If you're adding kimchi to a dish (while cooking, this might not work as well when used as a side, haven't tried) you could probably replace half with sauerkraut to make it cheaper while still maintaining a similar flavour. I find they work great together.

I tried my hand at making slop. Didn't have all the ingredients so had to substitute some.
Boiled som mung beans and put to the side. Fried up a large onion, some carrot, parsnip, garlic. Added some freshly ground mustard seeds, cayenne, tomato paste. Let fry a bit extra. Then a box of chopped tomato, and water using the box to rinse out all the tomato stuck to the sides, some basil. Boiled until veggies are almost tender.

Then took some ladles of that into another pot, get it bubbling again and add a little bit of oats and a dusting of ceylon cinnamon, adding a bit more water from a kettle so it's not dry. Cook until oats are soft, adding more water if it gets too dry before then. When done mixed in the mung beans.

Was some decent slop actually. Only critique is that I could have skipped the parsnip, didn't combine as well as the rest. A potato would've been good I think.

Ingredient list:
mung beans
oats
onion
carrot
parsnip (skip this)
canned tomato

I feel like not enough people know about the easy modular soup recipe.

Start with 1 root vegetable and 1 or more aromatics (such as onion/garlic). Saute the vegetables in a pan, and set aside. Add a protein of your choice (stew cut beef, chicken cutlets, polish sausage, etc) and cook until the fat is rendered. Drain, and place both the protein and the vegetables in a pot over medium heat. Quench with 1 liter of broth of your choice (match the protein if possible). Bring to a boil, and add 1 seasoning (salt usually) and 1 or more spice (black pepper and cayenne pepper work great). Reduce to a simmer, and add some filler (rice/okra for gumbo, dumplings, or noodles). You now have a soup that will last for several meals, and is healthy and tasty.

A tip I learned recently, scrambled eggs get better texture if you mix a bit of corn starch powder with water and pour it into the raw eggs as you break them up. I do something like a teaspoon for three eggs. I haven't tried side by side yet, but they get softer I think? Supposedly potato starch powder should work even better because of its chemical properties but I haven't tried that yet.

Moka pots are awesome IMO, especially for those of us who are unwilling/unable to dole out the cash for a decent espresso machine. I normally drink medium-light roasts, which I like to brew with my v60, but I looove taking out my moka pot whenever I have a nice dark roast, very cozy

Moka pots are real nice. Associate them with an old friend cause over at his place is the only place I've ever seen one.
I am slightly skeptic towards them though since most of them are made of aluminium. Have read that when you cook acidic things some aliminium dissolves into whatever you're making, which is why you're not supposed to cook stews and such with acidic things like tomato or vinegar in portable stoves using aliminium cookware. Supposedly it's bad for you in the long term. And since coffee is acidic, well yeah. Maybe I'm just paranoid.

Picked up a coffee kettle earlier, been wanting one a while but couldnt find a good one online. Happened across one unplanned in a store looking for something else. Have a portable stove so it's all good to go.
Was already planning to hang out in the woods with a friend soon so it'll be nice to be able to fix up a fresh pot of coffee instead of bringing a thermos.
Just gotta do some research on how to brew good coffee in it and make a test run or three. Any tips would be mightily appreciated.

The red package I mentioned was the 2xSpicy I think. It was noticeably hotter and I felt it in my stomach. If you add enough additional ingredients like veggies, tofu, meat, eggs or fish it might however be the better choice. I'll have to try it again, when I find it. While I'm not a huge fan of the noodles, the broth is delicious.

Anyone else into soup? Recipe's, thoughts, or techniques?
I've been making lots of sweet potato soups recently. It's pretty cheap, and super tasty. Cutting up the veggies takes a while, but I can make enough at a time to last me a couple days in the fridge. My recipe varies, but usually includes about 2 tbsp olive oil, a couple cups water, a teaspoon salt, and 3 or 4 sweet potatos.

Try making them with a roux
Heat up some oil in the pan you're gonna be cooking, put in some sifted flour and let it cook a bit. Once it's ready if you scrape the bottom with a wooden spatula, it should make a clear path and the flour/oil mix should be pinkish at the sides of it.
That's when you add water (room temperature) or stock or whatever else you are using and whisk until you develop Rhabdomyolysis or the water starts to boil. Then you put in the veggies and whatever else you want. Scrape the bottom of the pan every 3-5 minutes when it's boiling, otherwise keep mixing it with a spatula or something when it's not boiling but still cooking, or flour will fry itself to the bottom of the pan. You can also thicken the soup just by adding flour (usually leaves an aftertaste and isn't as nice) when it's boiling or even using stale bread (traditional for Ghoulash).
I'd suggest this for anyone wanting to make soup in this thread. It's basically the easiest way to make an incredibly filling soup if you're on a budget.
