Kitchen Reference

The kitchen notebook keeps the small details that are easy to forget.

Staples

  • Rice, noodles, oats, lentils, and canned tomatoes.
  • Soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, mustard, and chili crisp.
  • Garlic, ginger, onions, lemons, and a small herb box.

    • Substitutions

    Yogurt can replace sour cream in most quick sauces. Lemon plus a small pinch of salt usually fixes a flat dressing.

    Prep

    Wash herbs before they go into the fridge. Dry them well and wrap them loosely in a towel.
