What's a shop you like, not necessarily to buy anything just to browse in? I like an army disposal store.
Second hand book shops.
Flea markets.
I just did a whirlwind tour of all the nearby Asian shops. So many mysterious ingredients, including a bewildering array of dried fish products. I had no idea before today that fish powder exists.
Boyo’s phone screen died. Pull out the back up which immediately dies too. He now has to suffer using my old i5 the poor thing 😹 sorry love, it’s that or the Nokia brick until you get your fixed. Xx.
A question for dumpling affectionados; what's your favourite dipping sauce? I've got a bunch of dumplings and similar foods for a lunch tomorrow and need to make up some dipping sauces to serve with them.
Bought I love the poonsin viet spring roll sauce. Or hot XO. Otherwise a similar one is sugar syrup, reduced orange juice& chilli. Or soy with sesame oil. Plum is pretty good. As is a really hot chilli paste cut with good old dead horse and a dash of lime.
Can't go wrong with chilli, soy and mirin. Add chopped spring onions or sesame seeds if liked. Also, plain mayo is pretty good too - okonomiyaki vibes. Since I was gifted with the bottle of pomegranate molasses, I've been using that in dipping sauces instead of mirin and it sure packs a punch. Might have to find another bottle when this one runs out. Aldi sells a balsamic vinegar-based fig glaze that makes a nice dipping drizzling sauce too.
