Soy sauce and nutritional yeast or something? Anchovies are mostly salty and savoury, and I believe usually melt away if you add them early? Might need something to replace the salt and umami, or something with a good texture (minced mushrooms?) if the ‘chovies were added later.

Miso or doenjang or any other fermented bean paste is probably going to be a pretty solid substitute, in terms of being extremely salty/funky/umami but will melt away and be unnoticed in the finished dish.

I keep my kosher salt in a little glass prep bowl that came with a deli-container style lid, but it's not ideal and i'd like my prep bowl back.

Anne Whateley posted:"Bay leaves don't do anything" is a dumb meme. Get good bay leaves* and huff the bag. Well yeah, but when used in cooking it's like a couple of them in a large pot of other ingredients, and they're usually removed as soon as possible. Unless you're literally just boiling water or making rice with bay leaves, I'm firmly in the "it don't do poo poo" camp. If it weren't a wasteful exercise, someone could prove it with a blind taste test. Which just means a YouTuber is going to do it any second.

no blind taste test but Kenji did a thing about them a while ago and says they actually are useful, even if you probably can't pick the flavor out of a long stew/braise on its own. also, surprisingly, says you probably shouldn't buy fresh bay leaves eke out fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Sep 18, 2020 |

There's an asterisk on that fresh/dry. I grew up with fresh bay leaves from a tree in the yard and I love the flavor. A few leaves go into every bechamel, pasta sauce, stew or even rice puddings and custards. Fresh leaves stored in the freezer are the way to go. Kenji's * was about the variety. You want the wide leaf, wrinkly edges med variety, not the narrow California bay that is basically eucalyptus. I bought those by mistake once and threw the lot out. Yes  Yes

A few leaves go into every bechamel, pasta sauce, stew or even rice puddings and custards. And once again, Kenji knows best. The pack I have right now (which I do use every time I make rice, I should say) is a dried out form of the bottom one, smooth sides and flat. I'm about to head out to the store anyway, so I'll take a look for the good kinds and see if it makes a difference.

piratepilates posted:I'm still not convinced bay leaves aren't a scam. Do they really do anything? Do they? I'm going to go ahead and retract this for now. I went to the store and found some fresh bay leaves that have crinkley sides, and are as best as I can tell real bay laurel leaves (Laurus nobilis). I have tested this before, but come to think of it, I've always tested it with the old dried No Name (literally that brand) brand bay leaves, which look more like the long, smooth, flat California bay leaves (Umbellularia californica) than they do these fresh bay laurel leaves (although some of the dried ones have crinkley sides like picture number 1, but it's hard to tell if they were like that before drying, or crinkley because of the drying process). Anyway I'll have to see with these fresh real bay laurel leaves that I'm keeping in the freezer, and then pass judgement on bay leaves as a whole. There's no need for me to slander the name of bay leaves by only using ancient, dried, bargain bin bay leaves.

The Vast Bay Leaf Conspiracyquote:Maybe you’ve had this experience: You throw a bay leaf into a broth, and it doesn’t do anything. Then you throw the rest of the bay leaves you bought into the broth, too, because you only bought them for this, and you’ll be damned if you don’t taste a bay leaf, and they don’t do anything, either. What could be the cause of this? I’ll tell you. Bay leaves are bullshit.

Late to this discussion, but go to your closest Asian grocery store and get some of this stuff. We use it in all of our veg* dishes. It doesn't taste EXACTLY like fish sauce, but it brings a very similar funk/saltiness. Any recipe where fish sauce is called for, but the dish doesn't actually use enough to taste fishy, this stuff is pretty much indistinguishable.
