Wanna cook something great but can't find the ingredients at home? This is your lucky day! Here are five common ingredient substitutions that you can try.
The Corona virus and the following lock down has all got us sitting at home, trying new things everyday. Or maybe not. But running to the store to get something is not an option right now. So how can you stay at home and still make delicious food without having to worry about that one ingredient?
Quarantine has definitely brought out the inner chef in all of us. So why not make do with what we have?
Don't fret. Here's a quick guide to help you out.
1. Lemon juice for Vinegar
Making a spicy sauce but don't have vinegar? Just grab a few lemons and you're all sorted! Use 1 tsp. of lemon juice for every 1/2 tsp. of Vinegar. The acid present in lemons tend to give a similar impression to that of vinegar.
2. Yogurt for Mayo
Who doesn't love a dish with Mayo in it. But guess what? A cup of yogurt can do exactly the same. An added bonus - It's healthy too!
3. A substitute for Ketchup
1/2 a cup of an even paste of tomatoes along with 1/2 a cup of water can account to the perfect substitute for Ketchup. Now your french fries aren't lonely anymore!
4. Crushed biscuits for bread crumbs
Bread crumbs are often an important ingredient to a dish as tend tend to an a slight crispiness to anything not crispy. If you don't have bread crumbs, just get a few Crackers or any other biscuit that's similar and crush them to make it powder. And there you go! An equally tasty yet simple replacement.
5. Lemon juice and Baking soda for Yeast
1 tsp. of active dry yeast can be easily replaced with 1/2 tsp. baking soda and 1/2 tsp. lemon juice. A soda is usually activated by an acid. Lemon being a citrus, can easily mimic and activate the baking soda to give you something similar to yeast. Buttermilk can also be used instead of lemon juice.
