Some while ago Max came up with a tasty interpretation of Ninja Provision Balls: high-glycemic as hell, but to fuel a sudden rush of action, such as whooping Akatsuki ass or doing backyard stunts for TikTok, that’s something you want.
I’ve found Squid brand Thai fish sauce (1) to be a useful quick-and-dirty dashi substitute in miso or seaweed soups, being water-clear and packed with umami.
(1) Which, somewhat confusingly, contains no squid, being made from anchovies, salt, and water. (See also XO Sauce and Grape-Nuts.)
