Do you do Netflix?
There is an episode of that show I mentioned above where they visit a real soy sauce maker place in Japan.
Very neat.

I'll have to look it up. I do have a Netflix account (I inherited it from the roommate. We shared it, so I just took the account over after he passed away.)

That sounds awesome!!

All four of the shows are good.

There’s 4 episodes? Or 4 different shows? 4 episodes seems like so few haha

Sorry about your roommate.

Nonsense! You’re never too old for all nighters

I beg to differ! Not even the army's most skilled torturers could keep me from my sleep for an entire night.

Thanks. That’s interesting how for some things it’s better cooked and others it’s better raw but it makes sense.

And just out of curiosity, do you happen to know which method of cooking vegetables is the worst? Or does it depend on the vegetable? Cause I tend to sauté in olive oil a lot and I have a feeling it can’t be very healthy steaming is best right? Or boiling? But I like the taste of them browning in the oil.

Boiling isn’t ideal, but is better if you drink or use the broth in some way. Steaming is fine but sometimes times more flavor is wanted. Sautéing in a healthy oil (olive, coconut, clarified butter) is fine—more calories but if you keep track and don’t overdo it, it is more flavorful. Cooking too much depletes/destroys vitamins but many vegetables are more bioavailable if cooked to a tender-crisp texture.

Steamed green beans or asparagus is great with a light sprinkling of a balsamic reduction. I like steamed green beans topped with katsuo (dried, shaved, bonito, I think?) and a couple drops of shoyu.

Steamed broccoli and cauliflower are great with a bit of cheese melted over the top. Cauliflower is good with miso sauce (miso, rice vinegar, mirin and sugar, cooked in a small sauce pan until smooth; don't ask for amounts, I just add until it tastes right).

There's a lot you can do with steamed vegetables that have a lot of flavor. Baked veggies are good too. For example, put salt, pepper, powdered garlic, chili powder, and paprika into a gallon sized plastic bag, cut cauliflower up, shake in bag with spices until evenly coated, bake at 400-425 degrees for 15-20 minutes (it may take longer with larger pieces or a lot of cauliflower).
