Do you have a suggestion for substituting the ume plum vinegar? I’ve had no luck finding in Salt Lake and refuse to order from Amazon. 😅

Salt to taste will work great!

Wanna get extra full? Always... always coconut rice ❤️ I make a lot of bad manners recipes but I’m too chicken to post the pictures because I can not only see but hear Matt cringe! I know the cookbook is just days away, but one thing I wish I could see ahead of time is the table of contents.. just to obsess about what I will make first. Patiently waiting by my mailbox 📪

I love that article on cookbook illustration so much, and extra points for mentioning Laurie Colwin. Good food photography is no joke. Whenever I've had a terrible week and need a good belly laugh, I pull out James Lileks's book The Gallery of Regrettable Food. Can't wait to make the soup!

I think I might have to disagree on one thing: the photos in the article of the soup look extremely tasty!

I promise the cilantro and sunbeams are helping a ton
