Growing up in a Ukrainian household, I’ve eaten my fair share of buckwheat, usually either plain or in combination with some kinda meat. I’ve recently had the urge to give buckwheat another try since I have a rice cooker and didn’t really know what to eat it with.
I had some leftover veggies from yesterday (ruccola and soy sprouts mainly) and tried adding those to the buckwheat, but it was just okay-ish. Just tried a plate plain with just soy sauce and enjoyed it a lot actually! I could see some fried tofu going well with it, but other than that, I’m kinda lost here.
Do you guys have any recipes to share? Or seasoning you use if you just eat plain buckwheat? Thanks :)
I love to put buckwheat in soups to give them some body. Just make a veggie stew and throw some cooked buckwheat in at the end.
Ooh, yea I can see that. I think that’s also a dish I was served relatively often growing up. Nothing fancy either - buckwheat, some carrots and potatoes and that’s it pretty much. Maybe I cold add some to some (instant) ramen?
Yeah. I think that might work.
In my soups I generally have some beans, potato, carrots, onion, celery, some greens (spinach, chard, escarole, something) and then maybe some grain.
