That seems rather elitist…

Haha… my DIL posted a vegan meatball pho. She and her mom are really good cooks so I figured it was from scratch and asked her about the recipe… she linked me to Acid League, lol.
Edit: you can find it at Whole Foods.

Very intrigued 
thank you for pointing me to this @TheCookie I’m very curious about how it tastes like hahaha. The color is so strong. I’m reading about it for food science.

I think so too. I added more broth & water (edited post to include). As for taste… it’s pretty good in a pinch. They have a ramen concentrate too but I haven’t tried it. On another note, meatballs came out great.

I’m a bit of an eyeballer but this should be correct.
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 2 tbls cornstarch
- 2 tbls panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tsp fish sauce
- 1 tbls lime juice
- 1 minced garlic glove (2 if they’re small)
The cornstarch makes for a light chicken meatball that only needs to simmer about 5-6 minutes at the most. Note: Chicken meatballs are really sticky on the hands. Use a small ice cream scoop or melon baller and dip in water before scooping.

Thank you @TheCookie 
Maybe I can make myself turkey balls or chicken balls soup for Thanksgiving 
I don’t like to eat the boring bird meat anymore. I just want green beans casserole with mushrooms

Most American turkey is really boring, but heritage-breed birds can be really good.

That’s impressive.
I’m thinking this is where the thanks/friendsgiving food goes
The pumpkin stuffed with lamb, nuts, fruit and tons of mint gave off a big bowl of life affirming broth that guests couldn’t get over
Should have pulled the smoked salmon out earlier but it’s my first try so…. Glazed it with tangy Armenian molasses
Didn’t get a great pic of the pork wrapped pork
There was too much other stuff too. Clearly we didn’t care to go outside for leaves and persimmons to decorate the table with lol
And we hired a band… and the local wine makers joined us (Clos Des Amis)… what a superb night

I think most places are making burritos the wrong way. My wife has taught me to mix up all of the ingredients in the pan including cheese before adding to the tortilla. If the circumference of the burrito results in 2 bites per inch or so of the burrito you will have very uneven bites. Today I made a breakfast burrito with bacon, eggs, cheese and a hash brown. I chopped everything up and mixed them up in the pan while off the heat.
That’s all.
