Interesting, don't think I'd put those dry mixes on any salads.
+1 hot food only :)
$3.40 for 100g of crap?? Are you kidding?? This would be a rip off at a $1.

vegan gluten free meat toppers
funny how people have to season their meat with vegan herbs and spices to make it taste better..
Not wrong there!
Restaurant chef shared with me what made his meat (& other) dishes so tasty - a vegetable bouilion (stock powder). Used instead of salt.
Been using it for years. Unfortunately it's no longer available.Yeah I've heard of that, seems to be a thing in Canada, maybe Amazon but wouldn't be cheap getting it
@G-rig: Bouilion is used on steaks in USA.
Product is from Switzerland. Down to last few uses. Original is not available at Amazon.au, stores, & online.
Can order another variety from Amazon.com at about twice price of last order. Not sure will taste the same.@G-rig: True. That's why I haven't restocked.
Looking for a tasty alternative to sprinkle on food like salt. There are other Bouilons to try.@INFIDEL: No shortage of spices and seasoning around, you should have most of these vegan ingredients in the cupboard:
smoked pap, nutrional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, black salt, liquid smoke, soy sauce, tumeric, cayenne pepper, cinnamon curry powder, cumin, chilli flakes, sesame seeds, miso paste, dried seaweed..
No rules…
@G-rig: Thanks for the reminder.
Almost all of those are in my cupboard. Only used the Bouilon occasionally - usually in soups.When was vegetarian at Uni, discovered Wakame soup - with seaweed, miso & veggies. Salivating thinking of it. So satisfying. And cost effective. A calming way to start studies each day.
Just restocked sesame seeds, sesame oil, nori, miso, etc.
But had forgotten the great flavour enhancer nutritional yeast. Can taste it just remembering it!Only smoked pap, & liquid smoke are unknown to me, so will look into that. Ah smoked paprika - use that.
liquid smoke - does what it says on the bottle. Never used it. Will put it on the shopping list.Never short of things to make meals appetizing. But usually eat a fairly basic "bland" diet (protein + lots of veggies etc). Was necessary after severe malnutrition. The specialist used to say food is for the nutrients, not for pleasure. He optimised diets for sports people & for me. So a bowl of plain, lightly cooked veggies is what I often desire on my travels.
Travel broadens the culinary experience. Now eat a lot of Japanese & Korean food.
Had assumed Kimchi was vegetarian until had it there. Found small muscles in a serve. Very tasty. Could be an unfortunate surprise for a vegetarian. Ingredients (apart from fermented cabbage) depends on the region.@INFIDEL: All good stuff hey.. vegetarian can be pretty bland otherwise so herbs and spices and flavour is essential.
Liquid smoke and black salt (Kala namak) jad been on my list forever but haven't gotten around to it. Some of these things are a little expensive but would last a while. The black salt apparently makes an egg flavour (good for tofu scramble).
Yep traveling is great to broaden ones palette and culinary ideas. Something so simple as white rice with avocado, sesame seeds and is delicious. You can get those rice seasonings at the Korean supermarket but a lot of them have too much salt where as Nori sheets are healthy (I should have 2 a day for iodine). Pretty easy to mock up simple sushi with normal rice if lazy.
Oh yeah love Kimchi, most have anchovies or fish sauce at least in Aus. The vegan ones are too expensive usually, for even more simple ingredients so doesn't make sense. I lot of it is just a money grab with that word in it - easier to make your own (Simnett also has a video on that).
@G-rig: Used to use kelp flakes. But there was a warning about high iodine level. Liked it!
Eat those little packets of Korean seasoned Nori as occasional snack. (Must check ingredients!)
Due to the sulfur content, black salt has an egg-like odour and taste.
Might give it a try, as has lower sodium level, reportedly better for lowering blood pressure.Kimchi - 2 varieties in the fridge…
Ingredients list: anchovy sauce!
Lucky I like it😉Of course "white rice with avocado, sesame seeds … is delicious"!
But that's just a starting point. Add Nori, toast the Sesame seeds, & add other flavoursome additions.
"if lazy" - that's the issue for most (including me).
Trying new foods, buying all the different & potentially expensive ingredients & implements, the uncertainty of if we'll like it…
Can put people off… Change.
So they stick to what they know (possibly a meat based diet).[In Psychology, there's an experiment that shows people choose early in life to seek new experiences or the certainty of the known. Very difficult to change people!]
Luckily I like trying new foods!
Seems we are in agreement.
Interesting, don't think I'd put those dry mixes on any salads.
For those interested in easy simple salad sauces check out Simnett nutrition's YouTube channel, has a knack of keeping the ingredient to a minimum and healthy/tasty.
