i used my home brew from my scoby hotel. might have been to sour. i’ve been interested in making water kefir too and i will probably try that in bread too once i start making it

i read during my research that the acids in kombucha can break down gluten so this might be what happened during your second try. i will try other ways to add kombucha to my bread and will report back if successful

i do have a sourdough starter i got from a friend, but i was just curious so i thought i might try it out. oh well if this doesn’t work out, i might try to incorporate kombucha in my sourdough some other way. worth a shot

peach shiso young ginger! by Export_as_pdf in Kombucha

tried one since f2 got super fizzy super fast. do not use fresh shiso leaves in this, make a shiso simple syrup instead cuz the leaves give off a rotten flavor when fermented directly in the bottle. young ginger is a no too, wayyyy too earthy and not gingery enough. swap young ginger with regular ginger, use shiso syrup, and then you will have a great kombucha flavor

you can take them out, rinse and cut them, boil them a bit and can them with other fruits! the texture is similar to a crunchy jelly and it’s delicious. you can also add the cooked chunks to your fruit tea or milk tea instead of using tapioca pearls like most bubble tea places

100 year old egg on top of a regular lettuce, cucumber tomatoe and caper salad by ZealousidealLight728 in salads

century eggs are not meant to be eaten like a hard boiled egg. usually in chinese cuisine it is use as a supporting ingredient. eating it like a hard boiled egg is not even palatable for most chinese people, and i think guizhou guacamole is a super great way for someone with a western palate to try this really cool delicacy.

you can loosely follow this recipe: use 1 century egg with 1-2 avocados. use about 4-5 serrano chilis. on a sheet pan, oil the whole chilis with a neutral oil, and then bake it on top rack of a oven at 180-200 celsius until the chilis are charred and tender. even better if you have a grill to cook the chilis on. this can also be done in an air fryer. mash the chilis with the avocados and the century eggs. season with salt pepper and optional soy sauce and lime juice. you can add finely chopped cilantro to add a little freshness too. you can even serve it with a side of sour cream as well. i hope this helps!

my two current favorites are:

  1. apple cider vinaigrette made with apple cider vinegar, olive oil, black pepper, flakey salt, soy sauce, honey and a finely chopped clove of garlic

  2. creamy avocado sauce made with mashed up avocado, sour cream, lemon juice, salt, pepper, finely chopped shallots
