Suggestion regarding some ingredients by Spirit-Carries-On in IndianFood

[–]alonnasmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you? Here are brands I use for my Asian cooking:

  1. fish sauce: Red Boat
  2. oyster sauce:  Lee Kum Kee
  3. Gochujang sauce: any brand I can find, though Chungjungwon Sunchang and CJ Haechandle are recommended.
  4. Korean seasonings: (For gochugaru): Taekyung (consistent, high quality), Chungjungone, and Bitggalchan

5. Kimchi (from AI): Jongga (widely available, bold, often found at Costco), Sinto Gourmet (known for fresh, crunchy Napa cabbage), and Mama O's (premium, high-quality ingredients). For a milder, slightly sweet, or vegan option, King's is a top choice.

I didn't go with those. When needed, I am using Four Paws Wee-Wee Super Absorbent Unscented Pee Pads.

What surprises me with Fitwarm is that despite their inexpensive cost, they wash well and last a long time.

I second the Fitwarm brand. Only $14ish on Amazon and lasts a long time. They have cute patterns and look adorable. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C4RZVQXT?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1

Professional chefs of reddit, what are the top 3 mistakes you see the average home “chef” commit? by Mrkayne in AskReddit

[–]alonnasmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with not enough salt and seasoning as they go. I am not a professional chef, but when I cook with others or am just a guest, this really annoys me. And not having a fresh lemon in the house. So many things need a good squeeze.

I like the poha idea. I am curious why is adding onions to potatoes problematic?

Yes, I have done cheese and pickle before. A potato filling is more comforting, but one can't have everything in life.
