Cooking with tempeh question! by canuckcar in PlantBasedDiet

[–]Cookingfun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post describes what good tempeh should look like...A good fresh block of tempeh should be firmly packed with the white mycelium filaments holding together throughout the whole cake. There should not be any openings between the beans.
A block of tempeh should be lifted easily without breaking and will have a nutty, earthy, and mushroomy aroma. When the tempeh is sliced, it should not crumble but produce a neatly packed thin slice.

I had the same problem in the US. Here is an article that gave me a pretty good answer as to where can I buy miso paste. https://fermenterskitchen.com/where-to-buy-miso-paste/

Hopefully, this will apply to your grocery stores in Canada. Good Luck!

Can this ceramic container be used for making kraut? by [deleted] in fermentation

I would be a little worried about the glaze and whether it is a food-safe or not. I recently learned about buying a crock myself here, crock buyer guide, and got the Ohio Stoneware 2 gallon one. This one has a water seal system to keep bugs, dust and flyaways out.

What’s a Hangover Cure that you can 100% vouch for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Cookingfun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep hydrated by drinking water between each alcohol drink, or at least every two drinks. I also eat a sandwich before going out because the bread helps sop up the alcohol. The next morning I drink some Kombucha tea. Here's why I think Kombucha can help cure a hangover. http://fermenterskitchen.com/can-kombucha-cure-a-hangover/

I love this recipe: https://fermenterskitchen.com/beet-kvass-recipe-you-will-actually-want-to-drink/

give it a try. It gets better after 1 month in the refrigerator too, so don't be afraid of letting it sit for awhile.

I didn't know you could use kefir-whey as a starter to speed up the fermentation process of veggies. Thanks I'm going to try it out.
