"I made Spicy Sambal Pork Noodles. And you should too!⁠ Seriously, they are gooooood. And, like, you can make it work with whatever you have. The recipe is REALLY good as-is, but we're in a different time, you know?⁠ 🥢Hopefully fresh garlic and ginger exist in your house, but if not make do with dried, 1/2 teaspoon of each, give or take.⁠ 🥢Skip the fresh basil if you don't have it. It's fine.⁠ 🥢Literally any kind of pasta.⁠ 🥢Or ground meat.⁠ 🥢Sub some tomato sauce for the paste if needed.⁠ ...and on and on and on. NOW, sometimes bloggers and recipe writers get a little nutty about the nonstop substitution questions, and fair enough.⁠ Right now, though? It's the time to test out subs and see what you like, don't like, can use up, reduce waste and leaving home, etc. I'm allllll about making my favorite recipes in different ways at the moment. Use this as a guide, and change it up to suit your pantry.⁠ What have you swapped out this week so far?⁠"
