@sarahgavigan: steal the concept, not the cuisine 🌍 every culture built its own path to umami. parm, kombu, fish sauce, aged ham — same destination, different passport. so i built a chintan the way i'd build one with kombu, just with parm rinds instead. same glutamate foundation, different character. real talk: stock is what separates a fine dinner from the one people bring up a decade later. worth every hour. full recipe drops saturday on substack, link in bio #ramen #chintan #umami #crossculturalcooking #stockmaking
