Yellowstone has been on my to-see list for a while. 2020 has been weird, and was hesitant to travel for a while. I broke.
I hadn’t seen family for a while, and thought a drive to Colorado with stops in Yellowstone and Glacier is exactly what I needed.
Day 1 The plan was to get to Colorado from Seattle ASAP, which means a long drive to stop at Nampa, ID.
Made some soup to complement my recent sourdough experiments.
What’s the secret?
Boil tomatoes, peel the skin off and blend it Heat oil and shallow fry finely chopped onions and garlic Add the tomato puree, salt, cut mushrooms, broccoli and spring onions Add some black peppers if needed
I am currently in the middle of starting my sourdough. One of the steps is to discard some sourdough starter and feeding the starter with more flour. With the discard, I made some airfried tofu. This turned out to be much better than expected!
What’s the secret?
Add sour doudough starter, a bit of oil, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, oat flour and cut spring onions in a bowl and mix well Coat extra firm tofu with the batter Airfry it and serve hot with sriracha or a sauce of your choice
Recently, I attempted adding a bit of vital wheat gluten to bread. This is me correcting my mistakes. This turned out to be perfect - just the way I like it. :)
Also added some tofutti and some lentil palya on the bread and serve.
What’s the secret?
Bread making is similar to my last attempt, just reduced the amount of vital wheat gluten.
Lentil palya Soak lentils for 1-2 hours, and pressure cook it for ~10 minutes on low pressure.
As I make more types of food, I realize that the only thing stopping you from making amazing food, is the lack of experience and the fear of failure. I made pad thai this time. It wasn’t perfect, but I know what to do next time.
What’s the secret?
To make homemade tofu, check this out.
Boil some pad thai noodles (rice noodles that you get in the stores) until it starts to soften Heat some oil and add some chopped onions, cubed tofu and salt until the onions and tofu turn brown Add tamarind water (or paste), soy sauce and one tbsp of vinegar and mix well Throw in the half-cooked noodles and simmer until the noodles are done Top it off with some spring onions and peanuts Note: I added brocolli and red bell peppers to this but that’s not needed.
