minus-square@WhoIsTheDrizzlelink2•5 days agoCan you give me some examples of dishes you’d add it to? I’m intrigued. Like a pho, ramen or soup?
minus-squareProdigalFroglinkfedilinkEnglish0•edit-25 days agoI always add it to a pot of chili before simmering it for an hour (usually about a teaspoon per 3lbs of meat, I just eyeball it). If I’m making tacos, I’ll add it to already cooked meat in the pan along with the spices and water (to be boiled off), which will make it extra beefy. Also works great in a beef or veggie stew, beef stroganoff, or vegan beef macaroni soup. I haven’t tried it in ramen, but that’s a great idea!
