So I have a few dozen boxes of these beef and chicken bouillon cubes. Does anyone have any good ideas or recipes on how I could make something good out of these? Besides noodle soup.

use them, or don't. it's your choice.

>> No.15351004

You can use them in a bunch of ways, but I find soup is the best - I just made cream of mushroom and I used bouillon cubes. When I grill veggies or things like that I prefer the Better than Bouillon as it gets assimilated easier/better.

Other than the obvious soup/stews, I also will mash them up into a paste to marinade meats.

For example, for a beef roast, I'll mash up an ass load of garlic, a beef bouillion cube, some mustard, rosemary, thyme, splash of Worcestershire, black pepper, oil, and additional salt as needed, let it sit for a day or two, then roast it.

Smash into powder, add to the rice/water before you cook.
Smashing into powder is optional, of course, but maybe you don't like having one salty clump of rice at the bottom of the cooker.

You can also combine with hot water per the package directions and drink it if you want something hot and salty going down your throat.

I like to crumble them up on fried noodles for an extra savory/msg kick. Probably not healthy but tastes great. Add it after you've fried your aromatics and tossed in your noodles, but before whatever sauce concoction you finish with.

Also goes great in Tacos if you want to add depth to your ground beef.

I just use them in boiling water whenever I need beef/chicken stock
Don't want ten gallons of stock sitting around in cartons all the time so I just have two jars of Better Than Bullion in the fridge

Heat up a gallon or two of water in a big stock pot. Dissolve all the cubes in the water and bring it up to a rolling boil. Boil it uncovered for several hours until reduced nearly completely, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat and continue reducing until very little liquid remains. Pour resulting sludge into a large, shallow dish. Cover loosely with cheesecloth and allow to evaporate until completely dry, optionally finishing in a low oven. Scrape residue from evaporating dish and press into square silicone molds. Remove from molds and wrap individually with aluminum foil.

Make mexican rice
>1 heaping tbsp bouillon per 2 cups water
>1 cup long grain rice
>quarter of white medium onion
>1.5 cloves freshly grinded garlic
>2 tbsp canola oil
>2 medium tomatos
Blend tomatoes and set aside. Combine water and bouillon, keep on medium-heat until boil and reduce to low heat. Stir rice in heated oil at medium-low heat. Once it starts to slightly brown, stir onions. When rice becomes brown like mexicans add the garlic and stir for a minute. Add bouillon to rice and allow to boil shortly before adding tomato. Bring to boil over medium heat and bring to simmer. Let rice soak up bouillon. Hopefully if you've done it right you'll make some delicious rice that looks like pic related. Add carrots, peas, or cilantro for extra flavor. I never do it but some people do.

boil that in some water, add three slices of dried seaweed, some brown sugar, and some soy sauce.
Then brown some thin beef and onions and braze it in that sauce.

Sounds fine but something even better:
Start by frying some onion until soft then add some garlic and fry for a couple of minutes. You can also do it without onion and just garlic. Then add peeled chopped tomatoes and leave on medium heat for a few minutes. Then you add some diced chicken, salt and pepper (you can also add other spices like paprika or parsley at the end). Let it all cook for a while then add uncooked rice. And you just wanna pour in some chicken stock and stir occasionally because the rice will absorb the stock. You can also add some peas at this stage. So you just need to keep adding stock until the rice is cooked.
