There are whole treatises on immigrant cooking but it's so interesting to do it in real time.
I wanted some noodles with pickled eggs and immediately started the process.
They use a lot of unsweetened soy sauce. The thing is, sweetened soy sauce, as known in Indonesia, is so much cheaper here. And then there was the sesame oil. I have some sesame seeds, but they're hardly a staple, and my local supermarket did not stock sesame oil at all. And then there was the sesame paste, well, fuck it. I went with peanut butter for that. And no, they did not have white sesame seeds.
Unsweetened soy sauce, very expensive, immediately becomes a luxury, so we're doing this with sweetened soy sauce, omitting the sugar, and black sesame seeds. Also peanut butter and some Indonesian crushed pepper paste (sambal). Was it good? Yes! Did it, at this point, have anything to do with the Japanese version? I don't have money to be all authentic, crikey.
Also, Dutch national cuisine is extremely heavily influenced by not having:
Arable land
The climate to grow anything but cabbage, root vegetables or onions (few herbs). Spices are insanely expensive. We stil say that something is 'dear as pepper' (peperduur).
Do you know what we did have?
Livestock. And dairy. Plus beans and some fruits like apples, pears maybe some cherries and forest fruits.
So Dutch meals can only really be flavoured by meat! Fish is somehow a springtime and summer dish, because you need very soft baby carrots and very fresh vegetables to actually enjoy a meal of plain fish - again not even lemon - plus potatoes and some lettuce.
And oh, what if meat is unavailable?
(Not even bacon?)
There's only one thing for it, you smother it in cheese.
Now of course nowadays, you can buy herbs and spices. But still, our people are very bad at making vegetarian dishes, because if you can't flavour anything with meat or cheese what are you gonna do? Buy cumin?! Who has that kind of cash, traditionally?
So you see a lot of meats seasoned with fruits, or fruit served as a side dish. You see a lot of cabbage and kale mashed through potatoes. Why? It softens the taste; cabbage is quite harsh. You also see people basically give up on dinner, really, and inventing really tasty meat and cheesy bites. That does not a meal make, but they're really really good. It does also create a culture obsessed with desserts. If dinner is a bit of a bland affair, dessert can lift your spirits considerably.
A lot of this "White people can't season their food" comes from traditionally not having learnt non meat-based seasoning. We've tried to get by with fruits and the best cheese we could manage.
And sure. I am very eagerly brushing up on other kitchens, because now we absolutely can buy five spice and lentils and ginger. But I'm so much milder about "bad" cuisine or unauthentic foods. People are trying to do the best with what they have available and indeed what they know. Also, learning a foreign cuisine is hard and can be very expensive.
And I've decided that it's infintely easier to cook Surinamese in the Netherlands and Indian in the UK, so I'll cook Gordon Ramsay recipes when I'm there and sweet soy sauce chicken noodles when at home. Also try finding endive outside of Turkey and Holland. It's no use.

Swinging by Singapore (Week 4)
Hello from Singapore! Having always wanted to travel to Southeast Asia, I was ecstatic to learn that one of my roommates had a similar dream. I couldn’t believe it when we started discussing the trip just two weeks in advance, but I seized the opportunity to immerse myself in a new culture. My schooling at UNSW is split between the Summer semester which runs from Jan 2 - Feb 5 and term 1 which runs from Feb 11 - May 9. During the summer semester, I have been taking a single Ecotourism class which is entirely asynchronous until the end of January when the class takes a trip to the Great Barrier Reef! This meant that I could travel with no fear of missing class. After a 9hr flight, Lauren, Charlotte, Shaunak, Evan and I landed in Singapore and got right to exploring. The Jewel is a mall containing the world’s largest indoor waterfall located just outside the Changi Airport. As soon as we got off the plane and laid eyes on the beauty we were speechless. Luscious trees and shrubbery surrounded the waterfall and staggered up all around it. The light shone through the windowed ceiling and made me forget about any stress I ever had. We might as well have been standing in a jungle. The surrounding mall was just as exciting. Several minutes were spent wandering around the Pokemon store where I got a pack of cards in honor of my ever growing childhood collection. The chocolate croll I got at a little bakery stand was one of the best things I had ever eaten in an airport. After 2 hours of exploring, it was clear to me that airports in the US need to step up their game.

Utilizing the very reliable train system known as the MRT, we made our way to our AirBnB located in Little India. For reference, Singapore is a melting pot of cultures with a 74% Chinese, 14% Malaysian, and 9% Indian population. This means that when you look around, all signage is in Mandarin, Malay, Tamil, and English. The fact that English is widely spoken across the country made transport and communication extremely easy and not something we had to worry about. After settling into our single room with just enough space for our beds and bags, we made our way towards Kampong Gelam which is Singapore’s Muslim Quarter and the site of the remarkable Sultan Mosque. Starving, we found a restaurant for dinner which was full of new foods and a particular favorite of mine – Kothu Paratha which I’d only ever had at my favorite Indian restaurant in Ann Arbor. We called it a night soon after that, but I was excited to be on a new continent and get right to exploring.

The next day we hit all the major stops including Gardens by the Bay, the Cloud Forest, and Marino Bay Sands. The first two attractions, like the Jewel, emphasized the appreciation for nature that Singapore has as many of its major attractions are centered around greenery.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/781cbe91c05bfb263bff4fe5649042b3/58517ad0502112db-e2/s540x810/186cba6ab2cf7e2a9d6a6c7b11c50932e710d0b7.jpg)

Pictured first is Gardens by the Bay. Second is me in the Cloud Forest!
Nearby was a Hawker Center called Satay by the Bay where we got lunch. Hawker Centers in Singapore are essentially large food courts with countless stalls of diverse Indian, Chinese, and Malaysian foods and drinks for incredible prices. On average, you could get a whole meal for about $5 and a side drink for another $1 so needless to say I seized the opportunity to try as many foods as possible. That lunch I had chicken satay, my first ever stingray, carrot cake (a dish local to Singapore containing absolutely no carrot nor cake), and pineapple juice. I can’t even begin to describe how delicious everything tasted so I’m afraid you’ll just have to imagine through the picture below.

Hawker Centers like that one are scattered all throughout the city, so we made it a rule to seek them out for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. At Marino Bay Sands, one of the most unique buildings I have ever stepped foot in, we made our way to a restaurant called Lavo at the highest floor where we got drinks, incredible views, and a 20-layered chocolate peanut butter cake. We may have been exhausted from walking around all day, but we did not leave until that cake plate was clean, even if it meant spending the next hour there.

Marino Bay Sands is the building pictured above followed by the equally-as-intimidating chocolate cake.
The next day we ventured to Sentosa Island where you could take cable cars across the island and see the beautiful beaches and various amusement parks. Though the weather wasn’t in our favor, it was nice to see what beaches look like outside of Australia since they reminded me of just how lucky I am to be living on Coogee. Sentosa was followed by Chinatown and Clarke Quay in the evening, both of which are full of rich culture and were a pleasure to roam in. Before our flight to Bali, we concluded our trip with the MacRitchie Treetop Walk where we were greeted by monkeys and even more beautiful greenery.

Though we were only able to spend a few days there, I fully intend on returning to Singapore one day and making my way to those Hawker Centers. Until then, back to exploring Australia!

Ok, look.
I'm a USAmerican, born and raised in the Midwest.
My father had grown up in a family of 12. He was very explicit that as an adult, he would no longer tolerate food that hid the protein away, like soups, casseroles, pastas, etc. He was also a teacher, in the USA, in the 70s-2000s. So he pretty much demanded a "meat and potatoes" diet on modest budget.
My poor mom defaulted to hambers and French fries most nights. Generally, 5 nights out of 7 we were eating burgers. 1/5 of a pound of ground beef, fried in a pan, and a couple of potatoes peeled, sliced, and fried in oil, then salted. Maybe a side dish of cut carrots, green peppers, or a small salad. (Leaves and carrots.) My father also needs his food to crunch, so those burgers were tiny, crispy hockey pucks.
I'm 100% over it. I've eaten more than a lifetime's worth of fucking burgers.
Then I started developing digestive issues as an adult. (Gee, I wonder why?!?) Once I worked out what my triggers were, I realized that I could no longer tolerate breaded and fried chicken or fish, any commercial seasoning blends, or peppers. Eventually I had to drop tomato sauces, too.
And then I was faced with inelegant choices if I needed fast food. I can't just walk into a Mexican or Chinese restaurant and assume that I can eat the food. I can't get chicken at the drive through. I have to bring my own dressing. I can't eat soup, unless I make it myself. I can't eat 90% of frozen meals. I started to get pretty creative about it, because I can't really afford Sushi all the time. I learned to love Indian food where Peppers aren't a specific ingredient.
Then Covid destroyed my sense of taste and smell.
Oh, I got some of it back, but I cannot even exist in a space where people are cooking garlic or onion. I can't get anything that smells like garlic or onion anywhere near my face, much less consume it. If it still smelled like garlic and onion, I'd be fine, but it's like a literal trash fire to me now.
So guess what I *can* eat?
Motherfucking hamburgers.
Go ahead. Suggest a food. Don't bother suggesting anything with even a trace of alums in it. Skip anything with MSG or free glutimates in large quantity (so no mushrooms, no Parmesan cheese, and no tomato sauces.) this means I'm double damned for all soup bases and salad dressings, btw. Oh, and I no longer have a gallbladder, so I can't do large amounts of fat at one time if you're thinking eggs or cheese.
Roast beef? Only if it hasn't been marinated in anything.
Fish? Sure, but not breaded and fried or seasoned with anything but lemon, salt and pepper. (Not lemon-pepper.)
Pork still tastes... A little off to me, though ham is sorta ok.
Peanut butter? Nope, sorry. Covid stole that from me, too.
So yeah, sometimes I eat burgers. Because I have to. I'd literally rather eat almost anything else. I wish I could eat empanadas, chicken satay, a meatball sub, or a nice salad instead. I haven't been able to eat tacos since the early 2000s. I can't even get a slice of pizza!
it sucks being an American because people from other countries will make fun of you for liking burger and you will try to be like NO! I EAT OTHER FOOD TOO! but you can't get the words out because you're too busy salivating over the idea of burger

How to Create a Balanced Indian Vegetarian Meal
Indian cuisine offers a diverse and delicious range of vegetarian dishes that are not only flavourful but also nutritionally balanced. A well-planned Indian vegetarian meal provides a perfect combination of proteins, carbohydrates, healthy fats, and essential vitamins. Whether you are dining at an Indian restaurant Sutherland or preparing a meal at home, understanding how to create a balanced plate ensures a satisfying and nourishing experience.
The Key Components of a Balanced Indian Vegetarian Meal
A traditional Indian meal is designed to provide all essential nutrients through a variety of ingredients. Here are the fundamental components:
1. Protein-Rich Elements
Protein is a crucial macronutrient for muscle growth and overall health. In Indian vegetarian meals, protein sources include:
Lentils (Daal) – A staple in Indian cuisine, lentils such as moong, masoor, and toor provide an excellent protein source.
Chickpeas and Kidney Beans – Used in dishes like chana masala and rajma, these legumes add a hearty texture.
Paneer (Indian Cottage Cheese) – A versatile ingredient used in curries and grilled dishes.
Yoghurt and Buttermilk – Apart from being rich in protein, they also aid digestion.
2. Healthy Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates provide energy, and Indian meals incorporate a variety of whole-grain options:
Whole Wheat Roti or Naan – Provides fibre and sustains energy levels.
Basmati Rice or Brown Rice – Brown rice is a healthier alternative, offering more fibre and nutrients.
Millets and Quinoa – Increasingly popular for their nutritional benefits.
3. Essential Fats
Healthy fats are crucial for brain function and overall well-being. Indian meals include:
Ghee (Clarified Butter) – Adds flavour and aids digestion when used in moderation.
Mustard and Coconut Oil – Used in different regional cuisines for their unique taste and health benefits.
Nuts and Seeds – Almonds, cashews, and sesame seeds enhance both nutrition and taste.
4. Vegetables for Fibre and Micronutrients
A colourful variety of vegetables ensures a well-rounded nutrient intake:
Leafy Greens – Spinach, fenugreek, and mustard greens provide iron and fibre.
Root Vegetables – Carrots, beetroots, and potatoes add essential vitamins.
Gourd Vegetables – Bottle gourd, ridge gourd, and pumpkin aid digestion.
5. Flavour Enhancers: Spices and Herbs
Indian cooking is incomplete without aromatic spices, many of which have health benefits:
Turmeric – Anti-inflammatory and immunity-boosting.
Cumin and Coriander – Aid digestion and enhance flavour.
Ginger and Garlic – Natural antioxidants with medicinal properties.
Fenugreek and Asafoetida – Help in digestion and add a unique taste.
Structuring a Nutritious Indian Vegetarian Meal
Creating a well-balanced meal involves combining the above components in an appealing and wholesome way.
A Sample Balanced Indian Vegetarian Meal Plan
Here’s how you can structure a nutritious Indian vegetarian meal:
Breakfast
Moong Dal Chilla (Savoury Pancake) with Mint Chutney – A protein-packed start to the day.
Masala Chai or Buttermilk – A refreshing drink for digestion.
Lunch
Dal Tadka (Lentil Curry) with Brown Rice – A perfect balance of protein and carbs.
Aloo Gobi (Potato and Cauliflower Sabzi) – Adds essential vitamins and minerals.
Cucumber and Tomato Raita – A cooling yoghurt-based side dish.
Whole Wheat Roti – A source of fibre and complex carbohydrates.
Evening Snack
Roasted Chickpeas or Masala Peanuts – A healthy, crunchy snack.
Fresh Fruit or Nuts – A natural energy booster.
Dinner
Palak Paneer with Jeera Rice – A protein-rich and iron-packed meal.
Beetroot and Carrot Salad – Adds freshness and fibre.
Lassi or Herbal Tea – A soothing way to end the day.
Tips for Making Your Meal More Balanced
Portion Control: Maintain a balance between carbs, protein, and fats to avoid excessive calorie intake.
Use Minimal Oil: Opt for healthier cooking methods like steaming, grilling, or roasting.
Include Fermented Foods: Yoghurt, dosa, and idli aid digestion and promote gut health.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water, herbal teas, or coconut water for overall well-being.
A well-balanced Indian vegetarian meal combines a variety of ingredients to ensure optimal nutrition and delicious flavours. Whether you are dining at an Indian restaurant Sutherland or cooking at home, incorporating diverse vegetables, protein sources, whole grains, and healthy fats will create a satisfying and nourishing meal. By understanding the essential components of Indian vegetarian cuisine, you can enjoy both the taste and health benefits it offers.

The Surprising Health Benefits of Eating Home Made Pickles
Pickles, especially those made at home, have been a beloved part of many cuisines, particularly in Indian households. While they are often served as a side dish or snack, pickles are not just tasty; they also come with a variety of health benefits. Here’s why you might want to include Indian pickles in your diet
Rich in Probiotics
One of the key benefits of consuming pickles, particularly homemade ones, is their ability to introduce probiotics into your digestive system. When fermented naturally, pickles are packed with beneficial bacteria that support digestion and help maintain a healthy gut micro biome. Fermented varieties, like those commonly found in Andhra pickles, offer these probiotic advantages, which can aid in keeping your digestive system balanced.
Packed with Antioxidants
Pickles made from vegetables such as cucumbers or mangoes are loaded with antioxidants, which combat oxidative stress in the body. This can lower the risk of chronic diseases and enhance overall health. Indian pickles, with their distinctive mix of spices, are not only delicious but also rich in nutrients that bolster immune function.
Boosting Electrolyte Balance
The salt found in pickles is crucial for replenishing electrolytes, especially after a workout or a long, hot day. This is particularly true for Andhra pickles, known for their bold and tangy flavours, which can help restore sodium levels in the body and aid in hydration.
A Flavourful Way to Consume More Fibber
The fruits and vegetables used in making the finest pickles in India, such as mangoes, carrots, and lemons, are high in fibre. Fiber is vital for digestive health and can assist in maintaining a healthy weight.
Adding pickles to your meals, whether you prefer the spiciness of Andhra pickles or the zesty flavour of a homemade variety, can be a delicious and nutritious enhancement to your diet.

If you like dips, there's a heap of vegetable-based dips you can have with crackers/chips or as a sandwich spread! Hummous, salsa, and guac were mentioned above, but there's also beetroot hummous, spinach cream cheese dip, baba ganoush, and more. These generally don't taste like the vegetables but still contain plenty of nutrients.
If you have the time and ability to cook, you can also try these:
Grate zucchini, add it to a mince-based dish (e.g. bolognese sauce, chili con carne), and cook for a while. The zucchini just melts into the sauce and you can't really see it or taste it.
This works for other veges too - grate them, puree them, or chop them really small, and then cook them in a pasta sauce or a stew for a while, and they either become really soft or disappear and you can't really taste them anymore. Make a big batch and freeze some servings!
If flavour is the issue, consider honey-roasted carrots, stir-fried greens with garlic and soy sauce, or a stew made with bacon, beans, capsicums (bell peppers), other veges, and some Cajun/Mexican/Moroccan spice mix.
Another good way to disguise flavour is with bottled/jarred marinades and sauces! Look for Indian or Asian sauces with strong flavours like tikka masala, Japanese golden curry, or sweet and sour (as mentioned above). They will usually have recipes on the side. Vegetables cooked in the sauce for ten or fifteen minutes will absorb the flavours.
Also, different coloured vegetables often contain different nutrients, so try to mix it up!
i mean this in the gentlest way possible: you need to eat vegetables. you need to become comfortable with doing so. i do not care if you are a picky eater because of autism (hi, i used to be this person!), you need to find at least some vegetables you can eat. find a different way to prepare them. chances are you would like a vegetable you hate if you prepared it in a stew or roasted it with seasoning or included it as an ingredient in a recipe. just. please start eating better. potatoes and corn are not sufficient vegetables for a healthy diet.

Kimchi vs. Indian Pickles: How Do Their Flavors Compare?
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/e5fbc29fce24b0e76b8df6eb8d65aa07/27938a5d4b0b09cf-1e/s540x810/b3aa5fe77445293b26831987813889bcfac92b53.jpg)
Few side dishes add a punch of flavor to your meals better than Kimchi and Indian pickles. These two culinary stars—Korea and India — may come from totally different worlds, but both bring bold vibes and major taste games.
Kimchi, the spicy, tangy Korean favorite, is all about fermentation and balance. It has a zesty kick and a unique flavor that screams “Korean soul food.” Meanwhile, Indian pickles are a flavor explosion, offering everything from spicy and tangy to sweet and savory, depending on the region.
Both are rooted in rich traditions, and their flavors are as iconic as their cultures. Whether you’re a fan of the bold and fiery or the tangy and funky, these two side dishes are proof that food can truly connect us across borders. Ready to dive into this flavor-packed journey? Let’s go!
The Origin of Kimchi and Indian Pickles
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/7513b96037b782f1e5fbc06fa23138a8/27938a5d4b0b09cf-ab/s540x810/bc7a0d7d1f1bef02f867a622502b937d4ac92665.jpg)
Kimchi is a staple in South Korea, made by fermenting napa cabbage and Korean radishes. It’s spiced up with gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes), garlic, ginger, and sometimes fish sauce. Believe it or not, it’s been around for over 3,000 years! What started as a way to preserve veggies during cold Korean winters has turned into a beloved dish that’s full of bold flavor and culture.
On the other side of the world, Indian pickles reflect the country’s diverse food scene. Every region has its version, often using ingredients like mango, lemon, gooseberries, or veggies like carrots and cauliflower. The pickles are preserved with oil, salt, and a mix of spices, creating everything from tangy and spicy to sweet flavors. Each one tells the story of India’s rich food traditions.

Kimchi Flavor: The Heart of Korean Cuisine
Kimchi has a one-of-a-kind flavor that combines tanginess, spiciness, and umami. It’s a staple in Korean cuisine, loved all around the world, and a must-try for anyone who’s into food. But kimchi is more than just a tasty dish—it’s a symbol of Korean culture, often found in dishes like soups, stews, and pancakes.
What makes kimchi special is its fermentation process, which not only gives it that bold flavor but also makes it super nutritious. Packed with probiotics, vitamins, and antioxidants, kimchi is great for gut health and boosting immunity, making it a popular choice for anyone looking for healthy Korean food. From traditional kitchens in Korea to global food markets, kimchi is a key ingredient that represents Korea’s rich food heritage and vibrant flavors.
Indian Pickles: A Symphony of Spices

Indian pickles, or “achaar,” are all about bold and vibrant flavors. They’re a must-have in Indian homes, known for taking even the simplest meals to the next level. From the tangy kick of mango pickles to the rich, aromatic flavors of lemon or gooseberry varieties, Indian pickles have a wide range of tastes that suit everyone’s preferences.
While kimchi gets its flavor from fermentation, Indian pickles use a different method. They’re preserved with oil, salt, and a special mix of spices like fenugreek, mustard seeds, turmeric, and chili powder. This not only boosts the flavor but helps them last a long time. Usually enjoyed with rice, bread, or curries, Indian pickles are a key part of India’s food culture and have become popular all around the world.

Kimchi: A Global Icon
Kimchi is more than just a side dish—it’s a reflection of South Korean culture and history. Making kimchi is a big deal in Korea, often involving a tradition called "kimjang," where families and communities come together to prepare big batches for the winter. It’s all about family, community, and sustainability.

Around the world, kimchi has become a symbol of Korean culture. From traditional meals to modern fusion dishes like kimchi ramen or kimchi mandu, kimchi is everywhere. In places like Delhi, Korean food has taken off, with restaurants proudly serving kimchi as a staple. Whether in soups, stews, fried rice or as a spicy topping for snacks, kimchi is a versatile favorite for anyone looking to try “Korean food near me.”
Indian Pickles: A Heritage Preserved
Indian pickles are more than just tasty condiments—they’re a cultural treasure passed down through generations. Making pickles is often a family tradition, where the right mix of spices and careful preparation are key. These recipes are full of love and tradition, with each jar telling a story.
Indian pickles are super versatile, adding bold flavors to even the simplest meals.

Pairing and Serving Suggestions
Kimchi Pairings
Kimchi’s tangy, spicy flavor makes it an all-star sidekick for a variety of dishes. Traditionally, it’s served alongside Korean staples like rice, noodles, or barbecue, balancing out rich or savory flavors. Beyond its classic role, kimchi shines in dishes like kimchi fried rice or kimchi stew (kimchi jjigae), where its bold taste takes center stage.
In modern fusion cuisine, kimchi has found its way into everything from quesadillas and tacos to pizza toppings, blending Korean flavors with global favorites. It’s a perfect match for ramen, where its crunch and spice elevate the noodle experience. If you’re searching for “authentic Korean restaurants near me,” fresh kimchi is an absolute must-try—it’s a flavorful peek into Korea’s rich food culture.
Indian Pickle Pairings
Indian pickles are the ultimate flavor booster for any meal. They pair effortlessly with simple comfort foods like dal and rice, adding a punch of tanginess and spice to the mix. A spoonful of pickle with stuffed parathas or puris transforms these traditional breads into a mouthwatering delight.
But their versatility doesn’t stop at Indian cuisine. A tangy lemon pickle can spice up a sandwich, while a fiery mango pickle brings zest to salads or grilled meats. Whether served at home or in high-end restaurants, Indian pickles are a flavor-packed addition that can liven up any dish.
