Chicken broth. I started buying the cheap bone in chicken at the grocery store. Toss the leftover bones/fat/tendons into a crock pot and toss in the vegetable bits you would have thrown away otherwise. Cook it on slow cook while you're asleep and strain it in the morning. Now you have liquid flavour to add to rice, sauces, soups, etc., and it's full of vitamins, too

A couple of my local groceries sell packed chicken feet, and I absolutely love them for stocks. They’re packed with gelatin and I end up with silky stocks that look like Jello in the fridge. Store rotisserie chickens are also great for stocks in my experience. I get a meal or few out of most of the meat, then you chuck the rest in a pot to turn into stock.
I think at least one of my local groceries also used to sell ox tail. Great for beef stock, but I think it got expensive after it became a trendy cut for some reason. I don’t remember how that happened, I guess people got in the know 🤔.
Not sure why it became trendy, but ox tail pho is some of the best food i've ever tried
Ghost pepper flakes, finally I can make things properly spicy without using a ton of really expensive hot sauce.
These are easy to make too. I made a ghost pepper red sauce I dehydrated and pulverized to add a spicy salsa flake to any dish.
How did you go about dehydrating it?
Sorry for the delayed response. I spread the "Soup" (for a lack of better word) thinly on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. And place the sheets in the oven on a low heat for about 20 minutes
