Maybe a beef belly cut that’s been smoked and thinly sliced, similarly to regular bacon?

Why thank you! There’s a few “genres” of cooking and baking that I know well enough to freestyle, and a lot of it is just tasting and knowing how to balance if you’ve gone too far in one aspect or another.

Like for example, I wouldn’t normally make this with corn in it, but I’d tossed a bunch of jalapenos in with the pork that had turned extra spicy with heat stress from a recent heatwave in my area. So in tasting the stew, I decided it was overly spicy, and dumping in a half cup of corn took the spice down a notch.

Perhaps try dehydrating the paste into a powder? Don’t know how much flavor charge you’d get, as that’d probably volatilize some aromatics, but could be worth a trial run.

As a mod of both [email protected] and [email protected], I concur.

That looks dang delicious!

Well did you like it?

I’ve tried my hand at pho before, a ton of ingredients and 12 hours later I got just an okay result. Makes me appreciate the joint down the road that sells a bowl for $11.

Ahahahah, these were rosemary olive oil flavor, which actually went quite well the meats

I shall confess, I don’t know. All three were from a pack I found for cheap at Grocery Outlet, and I had taken them out of the bulky packaging and put into a tupperware.

Thanks, I’ll look for them at the store!

Wow that looks delicious, love the color on that yolk.

Looks delicious!
