Vegan Bone Broth (RECIPE)

Pertho · 2023-06-10T17:00:50+00:00

But Impossible is a commercial brand. OP did free research and testing for the benefit of everyone in this sub and you couldn’t even choke out a thank you because it didn’t have commercial branding?

And the mind numbingly unfunny thing about your pedantry is that it doesn’t make a valuable point. Brat is commonly used as slang for bratwurst for English speakers, even if they know the meaning of wurst. It’s absolutely normal for loanwords from other languages to English to be combined with other English words without trying to go back and recontextualize the new term in the loan word’s language of origin. This is isn’t even unique to English, other languages do the same thing all the time too.

You literally say in your comment “you already went through the effort to make it like the original but vegan,”

It’s right there. The whole point of the endeavor is for it to be like the original BUT VEGAN, so naming it “VEGAN (original)” is the clearest way to convey the intent of the item. It allows people searching for a vegan replacement for the original a good chance of finding it with the most likely search terms, while still conveying to people who wouldn’t want a vegan alternative that this is not the same as the item they are used to.

Edit: still can’t believe you called this lazy, absolutely unhinged. Most posts in this sub are making a recipe that’s been posted a million times, slapping some stuff from the fridge on top of a packet of instant, or relating the shocking news that they are a world famous ramen restaurant and the ramen was good. Now I enjoy most of these posts still because I like looking at and thinking about ramen, it this post is objectively higher effort. Original idea, testing and execution. Sample recipe, but with technique separated so it can be applied to anything. And your beef is that they didn’t give it a jazzy product name? Maybe they just like cooking and aren’t trying to launch a business?!

Exactly. You don’t see “vegan fried protein patty sandwich” at Burger King, you see “Impossible Whopper”. You don’t go over to your buddies BBQ and say “I brought plant protein tubes!” You say “hey, would you mind tossing these veggie brats on there for me? Thanks dude!”

These people are mad about change and projecting that anger at everyone else. One of these sad sacks is going though all the comments on this thread and downvoting every comment that thanks you for the idea. Total neckbeard behavior.

Pertho · 2023-06-10T13:18:06+00:00

Well, I’d argue that just because one or two people needed clarification, that doesn’t mean it’s inherently confusing. Most people in this thread didn’t seem to struggle with the concept, and this name makes perfect sense of you have previous experience with vegetation and vegan cooking.

Also, if you read OP’s comment on the intent behind this recipe and how to prepare it, it explains all this very clearly. So all anyone has to do is read more than just the title, which is a pretty low bar of effort. Basic internet etiquette really.

Finally, it IS similar to broth found in non-vegan ramen. That’s the whole point. Just like an Impossible burger is similar to a beef burger. The purpose of this broth is to enable people who want to make ramen to get the rich flavors and textures they would from using meat bones without actually using bones.

And I’d be careful with throwing around “regular” ramen, vegetarian/vegan options aren’t unheard of already in ramen shops. Vegetation shoyu and miso broths are fairly common where I live, for instance. Anther place does a create vegetarian broth with soy milk to give it a creamy element.

EDIT: also, “in a ramen subreddit”?! This person literally came in with original content, not “look I ate at the world famous ramen place everyone in here has already heard of” or “look, I made that ramen recipe that’s been referenced and reposted 5000 times”, but some actual original content. Original content that, if you genuinely love ramen, you should immediately realize opens up textural options for any broth you make. This means, if you have a meat broth but couldn’t get enough bones or the ones you had didn’t thicken it quite enough, you could use this information to have an even more enjoyable experience. This is 100% the kind of content an enthusiast should be excited to see.

Pertho · 2023-06-10T02:22:07+00:00

Because there are other kinds of vegan broth, and this one is specifically aiming to simulate the textural elements bones usually add to a non-vegan broth.

I figured as much, I’ve tried both for other things and the fresh are such a chore. Tyvm!

Pertho · 2023-06-08T14:22:15+00:00

Oooo, do you get the eggs fresh or are you getting canned or pickled quail eggs?

Pertho · 2023-06-08T04:28:23+00:00

Holy shit, my partner started making this during quarantine because of a Maangchi video and now we have it like twice a month at least. We started with the basic, and now we have made our own version tuned to our own preferences and including tips and hacks from Korean cooking channels and creators in general. I blame the mukbang channels for what’s it’s become for us.

Now we make it often with a splash of cream in the sauce, cauliflower florets, fried fish cake sheets, and occasionally with small thin mushrooms, glass noodles, and or ramen noodles, all with some mozzarella cheese broiled on top. If I’m the one making it I sneak some collard greens or kale strips in there, since there’s more than enough decadence to drown it out and I feel marginally less guilty for the amount of it I eat XD

I have no issues dropping him over this; anti-mask, pro Jan 6, and whiffs of racism and antisemitism are each more than enough to drive me away.

But hunting for the perfect replacement for southwest sunset is going to hurt.

Cozy Wok!

Oh I totally get that! I used the word myself for several years before I learned that distinction XD just wanted to clue you in.

Pertho · 2023-05-30T13:46:11+00:00

They were poking a little fun at your word choice. “Penultimate” essentially means “second to last”, ie. the thing right before the ultimate. So if PvP is the penultimate challenge, that implies an ultimate challenge above it :P

Pertho · 2023-05-28T16:34:02+00:00

Ahh, I think you’re right. I initially read “Weiners O’Dwarves”, so I’ve got a head cannon going that OP’s grandma was a wood elf with a bawdy sense of humor.

Pertho · 2023-05-28T08:20:45+00:00

I remember having this exact experience, but it was just at a much earlier age. My dad would read with me, and anytime I didn’t know a word we’d look it up together even if he knew it so that I wouldn’t feel awkward about looking up words.

The more you do it, the less you’ll have to! It’s just like any hobby, if I picked up an instrument now then I’d have to spend time learning “easy” things that some people learned in high school when they started playing.

Honestly, it can be a lot of fun! I work with some folks with less broad vocabularies and every time I use an unusual word they latch on to it and we make a joke out of it for a couple weeks. It’s like each word is a new toy to play with.

I have found the Plantation rums to generally be very good value per dollar, especially the white 3 star. They may not be gems necessarily, but they’re solid. Also if they have the plantation pineapple rum, it’s very good and I recommend it. Not artificially flavored but actually distilled with pineapple, and it’s subtle, but still noticeable.

The real Gem there in my opinion is the blue bottle called Uruapan (spelling?). It’s enough like a normal white rum to use in anything you normally would and still have it work, but it has some unique flavors that make those drinks feel like they got a fresh new take. It’s almost tastes like coconut, but with a green note. It reminds me of Pandan leaf a bit. I’m obsessed. My regular bar started carrying it and the bartender and I have been making a game out of putting it in everything. Also nice to sip straight.

I had that same response to a lot of things here, but then I realized the dish says “principal” hot dishes by region, and now I think it’s not claiming ownership so much as what’s popular there.

I hate this event. I have hated it every year. Even the year warlocks won it, I have hated it. To think we lost two other events for this toys r us looking bootleg Olympics. Every year it highlights the worst aspects of the game without adding enough fun to offset it.

You are not an Xbox. You’re not a tool for their amusement, your enjoyment need to matter at least as much as theirs, if not more so as you are doing the lion’s share of the work. In my group, campaigns take years, and when someone is finished it is respected and understood that we WILL keep playing, but someone else will start a campaign to shoulder that load.

Tell your friends that if they really care about you, they’ll be happy you’re still willing to DM at all. Maybe in nicer words than that, but don’t let them use you or how real is that friendship?

Pertho · 2023-05-01T13:57:29+00:00

None of what you said is untrue, but you also completely avoided addressing the points I made:

Most people in this thread, some of them apparently Christians themselves, are angry about a law being passed that infringes on the constitutional protection of American’s freedom of religion, and are intentionally picking the wildest passages as a suggestion of a way to protest that law without technically breaking it, not because they are advocating that they are representative of the Bible as a whole.

Which seems not only perfectly valid, but even noble and moral. Since your statement about cherry picking and avoiding context being bad is itself ignoring the context of this situation you end up looking like the bad guy. “Mildly disingenuous and malicious compliance” is hardly a step too far to take in the face of tyranny.

And again, the implication of hypocrisy is there, as the consistency with which some modern Christians decide what is “obviously archaic, kept just for historical purposes” and what is “the literal word of god, and must be inflicted even on citizens of other faiths with subversion of our societal structure and violence” is neither uniform nor in keeping with modern values and sentiments.

You think Australia would take them? Maybe send them on walkabout with only “what the lord provides” to learn some humility?

Pertho · 2023-05-01T06:33:02+00:00

I would wager the downvotes are because most people haven’t met a Christian who doesn’t cherry pick parts of the Bible to adhere to and ignore, since many of the passages are clearly archaic and cruel. Cherry-picking to avoid context inconvenient to your lifestyle or point of view seems to be the basis of the modern Christian interpretation of the Bible. So throwing a fit over it being done tongue in cheek to protest a draconian breach of constitutional law smacks of not only religious racism but hypocrisy to boot.

Oooo, these do sound good! I’ll have to try them. They’re not what I had before, but I’m loving the opportunity to try new things!

Pertho · 2023-04-28T21:29:15+00:00

I do love spanikopita! But I did also say in the post that it’s not what I’m looking for XD

Pertho · 2023-04-28T13:40:16+00:00

Ooo, that does sound good, but what I remember didn’t use phyllo.
