The sea tribe in Alor knows how to protect the sea. They use simple equipment to catch fish for their own needs, the rest they sell at market. With just one breath, they can dive for more than five minutes. Non-native people previously used fish bombs, but the local tribe replanted the reef and they are looking after the corals and other sea plants.
@Leisureguy@vegancooking@wfpb. It will be a lovely ferment. #KirstenShockey has a cookbook with pepper sauces #fermentation. We have made several batches of #rempah and #sambal. They have been great with everything. These are represented as inspired by #indonesia. I think of how wonderful your homemade #tempeh are. There will be great combinations in your future.
