Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Finishing up work in an hour. I'll be going home to probably make some fen zhen rou. (I think I have all the ingredients.) Add some caitai on the side and, naturally, rice, and SO and I will have a nice satisfying daily dinner, ready to relax before hitting the hay to work again tomorrow.
Omgosh that looks like such a satisfying and filling dish! What kind of starch do you normally use?
The meat is coated in a spiced toasted rice ground coarsely. (Properly you'd do it in a mortar and pestle after dry-roasting the rice, but I'm lazy so I get premade ground rice, but I do spice it myself.)
The base I usually use taro for. Potatoes serve in a pinch, but taro has a nicer texture and is more flavour neutral, letting the umami from the pork belly shine through.
My comfort food of choice when I lived in Canada was German Linsensuppe (lentil soup/stew). I instantly switched to this, however, when I encountered it because ... it's ... As you said: satisfying and filling. Also, key, it's easy to make. :D
I will have to give it a try, thank you so much for future hearty meals 🧡 and I can't turn down easy to make!
