How about breakfast for dinner - you could make a hash of sorts, depending on what's on hand. Start with whatever veg is in season (summer squash, eggplant, potato, sweet corn, Brussels sprouts...) sauté and then scramble some eggs with it, tossing in whatever fresh herbs, tomatoes, cheese you have. Mine is always a single veg for one person but you could combine things for a family meal.

I love you and Jenn for your fish sauce devotion! Looooove what you’re doing here so much I have to borrow it. ;) Brilliant advice, as usual.

I love cooking rice in coconut milk. They were meant for each other.

It's fun not to tell people the rice was cooked in coconut milk, then see if they can sniff out why the rice is so much silkier than usual. You're right that they just blend together in a great way

My mom raised me on a similar sausage and cabbage stir-fry, but with the addition of shredded carrots and served over rice -- getting in two more of those forever ingredients!

Such a good idea. I don't cook with carrots much so it's helpful to see how others incorporate them into their cooking.

The sausage and cabbage reminds me of the sausage and gnocchi dish from your cookbook. I make that all the time and recently made it with sweet Italian sausage with broccoli rabe. No extra work, but you get the addition of greens in the dish - really delicious. Can’t wait to try the sausage and cabbage - I might throw in some gnocchi!

It's all connected! Love the addition of broccoli rabe (and if you have that, you're not far from the pork burgers in I Dream of Dinner..).

With the addition of garlic, ginger, an onion if you have it, and a few spices - could make saag aloo! Serve with rice or naan

For the spinach addition would you include it with the melted butter and egg yolks or add at the end with the cooked pasta? Love these ideas 😍

Opting out of data mining on this recipe is cumbersome and per the listed stats not necessarily effective!

Maybe I’m missing something! Is there a list of the 40 ingredients so we have them on hand?

Hi Kat, the ingredients will be revealed slowly via recipes and paid subscribers will receive half the list in a few weeks.
