If you don't want the whole ones search for "ume paste", there are a bunch of them available. I've only used the one in the tube. The Eden Foods brand is probably good, their stuff usually is.

I wanted them chopped to mix with rice, but the paste might work.

I could definitely just chop them myself, but I'm lazy and don't want to deal with the pits :v:

Umeboshi are so mushy that chopping them up just ends up being paste anyway. If you're looking for rice flavoring specifically maybe check out an ume furikake.

if you're looking for rice flavoring specifically, look at eating literally any east asian food whatsoever

Imo food > supplements for fiber sources. You just cant take that much powder/pills.

15g isnt a lot of fiber, its literally under half your RDA. But if youre coming from no fiber, you may have to work up to it.

Vegetables are a great source, obviously, and some fruits. Lentils are fantastic, I make a batch on the weekend and put it in stuff / put stuff on it all week. Lately Ive gotten into low-carb tortillas, I dont care about low-carb, but they have a bonkers amount of fiber and I love the spinach flavor. Popcorn, cereal, there are a ton of options.

Look up no-meatloaf recipes. This is the one I've used a couple times. It may take a little bit of trial and error to dial in the hydration to get the right texture, but since you're going for fiber and not an actual vegan meal you can use beef stock or Better Than Bouillon or something to better imitate the flavor. For that recipe, if you specifically want chia flour, I'd just sub it in place of the oat flour.

IMO. Just bring some more olive oil (with a little salt in it), dump it in and stir it. The flavor will all still be there, but you get some sauciness back from the oil.

You could also probably just add a teaspoon or two of water to the container before nuking it. It'd be a hell of a lot better than nothing, anyway.

this is fine



Whenever I nuke a dry starch, I add 1 ice cube per ~1/2 cup of food. Helps keep it from turning into plastic. Makes the biggest difference with rice, but I'd do it in your case too.

Seems to help better than a splash of water, not sure why though, I think maybe a higher mass to absorb extra microwaves. Discard the cubes after done heating.

An easy way to eat more flaxseeds is to use 1 Tbsp flaxseed powder + 2.5 Tbsp water, mixed and left alone for 5 minutes, in place of 1 egg in baked goods. You can do something similar with chia I think but I've never done it.

Ive been making this weird cabbage soup, that will last me about seven to ten meals. I basically cook it from what takes the longest to the shortest time. Everything literally just gets thrown into a pot.

Cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, broccoli, potatoes, Bell peppers, golden, beets, celery, brussels sprouts. Salt, pepper, vegetable, bouillon, chicken bouillon. Olive oil as a topping.

I dont know how much fiber is in this, or how healthy it is, but I cant imagine that its not relatively healthy compared to like anything else I have made. Maybe next time Ill add in some cut up chicken thighs and add some couscous rice. Baby I might have myself a stew going.

Breakfast bricks!
I made these for three seasons as the Backcountry quartermaster and cook for a huge summer camp. Shelf stable for a couple of weeks, nice flexible recipe, only one tricky ingredient to find.

2C oats
1/2C of puffed quinoa, flax seed, hemp seed, chia seed, cocoa nibs
1C chopped nuts
1/2C dried fruit of choice, chopped

Toast all ingredients in a 300° oven for 20 minutes, stirring every 5-7 minutes

In medium sauce pot, heat on medium
1C nut butter of choice
1C Pomegranate molasses

Combine wet and dry ingredients in a large bowl, mix vigorously to combine, then spread on a 1/2 sheet so the mixture is approximately 3/4" thick.
Return to oven for 20 more minutes.
Remove from oven, let cool and slice into 1"x3" portions. Keeps indefinitely wrapped in foil in the fridge, good for about two weeks at room temp. You don't really need the psyllium husk, but you could easily toss some in for the two bowls of All-Bran experience.

Which one is tricky - the puffed quinoa, the hemp seed, the cocoa nib, or the pomegranate molasses? I feel the the first four a pretty tricky if you don't have a bougie/fancy health food store to shop at. Pomegranate molasses is tricky if you don't have a Middle Eastern place.

Hell yeah, looks great. If they are fresh enough and you're not like pureeing, I find you can get away with not doing the double shell, depends if course of their size too.

So, I want to make some bean soup.

:words:

Any suggestions on either something with a similar flavor profile, or a way to use the smoked neck bones while not letting them fall apart/get mixed into the soup?

I do the same thing, but that morning, early, I will start simmering the bones or ham hock in water for about four hours. I let the stock cool some or add ice so it's less of a scalding risk then ladle the stock into a bowl through a strainer. this also makes it easier to pick out any meat to chop up and save for the soup

you can also do it the day before, refrigerate the strained broth, and skim the solid fat the next day

it takes more time and you dirty more dishes, but I think it's worth it for a bone-free soup, and I always feel like an idiot when I am trying to scrape beans or greens off boiling hot seasoning mean if I skip this step

if sodium is not a concern, country ham chips are a lean alternative that give you a nice meaty soup with a lot of flavor

Lots of good suggestions, especially the country ham.

One of the perks of living in Virginia is there's no shortage of very high quality country ham.

Also, the best peanuts, but those are less relevant for bean soup.

Elizabeth David was one of the best food writers to ever live. Most of her books are worth reading for all the little fragments of culinary history she unearthed.

Carme is the source of one of my favourite quotes: when his boss complained the food was so delicious that he felt like eating himself to death, Carme replied "Sire, it is my duty to provoke your appetite, not to regulate it".

Life ala Henri by Henri Charpentier and The Apprentice by Jacques Pepin give a really great view of the French kitchen through the entire 20th century. Both are autobiographies, with all that entails. There's also White's memoir The Devil in the Kitchen which is also a great read. For more contemporary, Blood, Bones, and Butter by Gabrielle Hamilton and Notes from a Young Black Chef by Kwame Onwuachi.

My favorite bit from Pepin is how when he was just entering a kitchen he heard the restaurant had some "alligator pears" in the fridge. Since he loved pears he snuck back and stole one and just bit right into it and that's how he first tried avocado
