I do not have a tech background. I am a baker in my mid 30's. I became sick of reddits shit, and once RIF was gone I was done.

I really like Lemmy, even though I admit it is a bit confusing at times, but I've gotten the jist of it I think.

The Rao's 2 pack. It's the cheapest I've seen that sauce anywhere and a great pantry staple. Also the vanilla extract and vanilla beans are way cheaper than anywhere and surprisingly high quality.

I used a recipe out of Claire Saffitz's book "Dessert Person". I know the recipe is on the bon appetit website, but I think you need a subscription. If you Google "Claire saffitz sour cream and chive rolls", I'm sure you'll find them! 😊

I usually do about equal parts soy and vinegar, and then dollop a spoonful of chili crisp in. I wouldnt worry too much about the "right ratio" in this case, just whatever tastes good to you!

This is what I usually get, though I buy it at hmart. It's super delicious!
