Re: Common/Uncommon foods

[(Anonymous)]

They're not staples anymore because the companies making them went out of business and/or I moved somewhere they're not available, but I'm white and from the US and was raised by old hippies, so grew up eating weird white American versions of some Asian foods. Like tofu made with Italian herbs mixed in, not as seasoning on plain tofu but actually mixed into the water packed kind when it was made. It made great fajitas (add Mexican food to the bastardized list) and was awesome fried alongside zucchini with some garlic (also bastardized Italian.)

Brown rice mochi cakes cut into small squares and oven baked until it puffed up, then served with salted butter. Also brown rice amazake flavored with coconut and ground almonds, served cold as a smoothie; kind of like horchata but without having to add any sugar.

I need to test out my secondhand Instant Pot and see if I can make amazake, assuming I can get rice koji somewhere.

I've only ever seen white rice mochi and mochiko (sp?) flour for sale in Asian grocers, if I want brown rice mochi these days I have to start by grinding brown glutinous sweet rice into flour in a coffee grinder.

3/4 cup flour to 1 cup water, mix, microwave, stir, microwave, dump in a very well greased shallow baking dish, smooth, put in fridge for a few hours, cut the result into 1-2" squares, spread out on a greased or parchment paper lined baking sheet, and bake in a 350-375 degree oven for ~10 minutes until puffed up. Coat with salted butter and wolf down.

And this wasn't an Asian thing but a "mom's mom grew up dirt poor" thing but I ate a lot of air popped popcorn in bowls with milk, like cereal, but sprinkled with salt rather than sugar; I still make it as comfort food sometimes.

And so I far as I know the sesame halva I grew up with was bog standard, just bought at the (white bougie) health food store rather than a Middle Eastern or Mediterranean grocer. I didn't make any friends who grew up with it until I was in high school.

And finally, I think this is squarely a hippy thing, but I love sunflower sprouts and am really happy I recently found somewhere that'll sell me a 2 lb bag for $15.
