I’ve been wanting to get some star anies for the rare recipe, that needs a little bit of it. But I found I couldn’t buy a small amount. So now I have a pint of it. Which means I have more than I can use in a reasonable amount of time before it goes stale.
I figured I might try to make some kind of beverage and maybe some soft candy. Any tested recipes you can recommend?
Also, the store had these $0.99 cans of cooked dried peas. Ingredients are dried peas, water and iodized salt. I’m not quite sure what to expect when I open this can. I’m picturing somebody forgot to blend the split peas soup. Do you have any ideas on how to use this?
I’m on a search for dried mushrooms at the two Asian grocery stores by my house. I’ve never had them but love mushrooms. Good idea to just have them ready
I put the dried mushrooms in a coffee grinder to turn them into powder for this. Other times, you can let them sit in warm water for a couple minutes and throw them in soups, or really any dish you want mushrooms in (which is all of them)
I need to get another coffee grinder for spices, herbs and now mushrooms. I love mushrooms in dishes so soaking and throwing them and their liquid in dishes is the plan.
