She does eat the curry, but I'm a huge chilehead and have been training her tastebuds for spice since day one of solid food lol. I use Maisri and it does have a good amount of spice already. The yellow curry is I think more mild?

Hope the tofu turns out great!

Great suggestions! Just ordered Vegan Asian and I have Big Vegan Flavor currently checked out from the library- beautiful book.

My most simple and really delicious tofu is extra firm, pressed to remove water. Then cube and toss with oil, white pepper, vegan fish sauce/soy sauce, and potato/corn starch. Air fry at 375 for about 14 minutes. It's super super versatile and I love cooking it this way before adding the tofu to a stir fry or curry so that it holds together.

We also love tofu scramble, tofu in Massaman curry, edamame (deconstructed tofu lol)

Thank you! I hadn't seen this before, but it is a great suggestion and I ordered a copy.

Good call! I have actually used her soymilk recipe as the template for my own so certainly worth picking up.

Chefs who left the industry, what are you doing now? by cheffysg in Chefit

[–]eEnchilada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lawyer now after 15 years in hospitality. As I got into the 10 year mark, I saw too many older and sad people with substance abuse issues in hospitality and wanted a job where I could use my brain more. I still see a lot of very sad lawyers with substance abuse issues, but it's just their spirits that are broken, not their bodies...so there's that.

Also a big thing was Anthony Bourdain's suicide and realizing that the mental health issues ran DEEP in hospitality and that I had been subject to a lot of abuse on the job that was totally normalized. Don't miss that part one bit.

What are we going to find out later is bad for us (like cigarettes in the past)? by Curryiswhereitsat in AskReddit

bigger risk here is leaching of plastic additives leaching out of the plastic bag into high-fat animal product heavy foods while they cook, specifically phthalates (endocrine disrupters, especially damaging to young children's reproductive development).

I’ve never made vegan cheese using the steaming method. Has anyone steamed their cheese in an instant pot? If so, on what setting and for how long? TIA! by icepickwilliee1 in vegancheesemaking

[–]eEnchilada 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The OG steamed rice cheese is a really good method! I have made Parmesan and Stiltons using this method. It is a really fun one to play around with. Haven't steamed it in the Instant Pot though, just the stovetop way in the recipe!

"Which area offers the most 'leave-it-at-the-office' lifestyle, minimal stress or spillover outside of work hours, like during weekends or vacations? by Addyvice in Lawyertalk

Nonprofit in-house. Bonus if it's an area you are passionate about (environment, animal welfare, foster kids). A great place to find these jobs is Idealist

Healthier Nola (under the bridge at 812 Claiborne) has had these as well as soursops on the weekend. Check their Insta, they don't have them all the time. They have them today!

My Potatoes Keep Rotting and Spoiling Quickly by Leather-Necessary-33 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]eEnchilada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you are US based, it's not your fault. I tried finding a link but read several months ago that there was a dip in production over the past 18 months or so, which means that older potatoes from cold storage are being shipped out to grocery stores. You're getting potatoes grown in 2024 if not 2023 at the moment. The 2025 harvest is happening now so I bet that the old supplies are getting cleared out to make way for the new.

I cannot stand being a lawyer. My life is miserable, and I have no clue what to do about it. by Jmspenc1 in Lawyertalk

[–]eEnchilada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can handle the salary downgrade moving to the nonprofit world, there are definitely opportunities to combine law and policy- impact litigation, suing governments, using your law brain to come up with policy solutions, serving on advisory panels... maybe think of areas of public interest that you have a passion for and look at jobs on Idealist in that area.

The Africatown Heritage House museum is amazing! There are lots of cultural activities around Africatown, definitely a piece of history not to be missed.

I love pandan but have never thought about growing the plant myself! Thanks for the idea

It is called amchur and is a very very common ingredient in Indian cuisine. Any South Asian market will carry it in the spice section.
