Pantry ingredients to go with it
Stock the pantry with a few ingredients that tend to show up alongside this tool.
Spaghetti Squash
Spaghetti squash is a unique winter squash variety known for its flesh, which separates into strands resembling spaghetti when cooked. Originating in the Americas, it has been cultivated for centuries and is celebrated for its versatility in modern cuisine. Its flavor is mild and subtly sweet, with a tender texture akin to al dente pasta. When cooked, it softens considerably but retains a pleasant chewiness. In culinary applications, spaghetti squash holds its shape well, making it an ideal candidate for dishes requiring a pasta substitute. It absorbs sauces and seasonings effectively, enhancing its flavor profile while maintaining a lightness that appeals to health-conscious eaters.
Short-Grain White Rice
Plump and tender, short-grain white rice is a culinary gem with a delightful chewy texture and a subtle sweetness. Each grain clings to its neighbor, creating a harmonious, creamy dish that comforts the soul.
Fresh Thyme
Fresh thyme is a fragrant herb with small, green, lemony leaves that add a subtle, earthy flavor to dishes. It's a staple in Mediterranean and French cuisines, known for its aromatic qualities and health benefits.
Black Bean Garlic Sauce
Black bean garlic sauce is a savory condiment originating from Chinese cuisine, known for its robust and complex flavor profile. This sauce is traditionally made from fermented black soybeans, garlic, salt, and sometimes chili peppers, offering a pungent, salty, and slightly spicy taste with a deep umami character. Its texture is thick and paste-like, which clings well to proteins and vegetables alike. When used in cooking, black bean garlic sauce adds depth and richness to dishes, enhancing the overall taste without overpowering other ingredients. It browns quickly when sautéed, releasing its aromatic compounds and infusing dishes with its distinctive flavor. Commonly used in stir-fries, marinades, and dipping sauces, it is a versatile pantry staple that brings a gourmet touch to everyday meals.
Ground Mace
Ground mace offers a warm, slightly sweet, and aromatic flavor with hints of nutmeg and pepper. Its deep orange-red powder releases a fragrant, woodsy aroma that evokes the spice markets of Indonesia, its native origin. The texture is fine and velvety, making it easy to blend into dishes. Valued for its subtle complexity, ground mace adds depth to both sweet and savory dishes without overpowering other ingredients.
Cashew Butter
Creamy and irresistibly rich, cashew butter is a velvety spread made from ground cashews. Its smooth texture and nutty sweetness make it a delightful treat for your taste buds.
