Gumbo Toppings That Will Get My Certified Cajun Card Taken Away

There is no easy way to say it so I will just say it.
You should try putting a dash of toasted sesame oil in your bowl of gumbo with a heavy dose of fresh green onions and a 6 minute egg just before eating it.
I love gumbo and I love ramen. The two dishes are not that far apart from each other really. I started fusing the two and it works really well. The smokiness from the gumbo and the toasted flavor of the oil work really well together. I haven’t been able to bring myself to serve it over ramen noodles though. I keep telling myself “they do it with pastalaya, why can’t you do it with gumbo?” It just doesn’t feel right :(

Plenty of country cajuns grew up on eggs in gumbo. Nothing remotely non Cajun about that: every farm family with lots of eggs uses them to “stretch” a dish to feed many mouths. It’s also perfectly common to garnish gumbo with green onions.

I could see a little sesame oil being nice.
I wonder if anyone has ever experimented with sesame oil as their fat for the roux.

Agreed. I grew up outside of Eunice and we always had eggs in our gumbo. But ours were always hard boiled. This runny yolk egg would get my head slapped if I served it to my parents lol.

I happen to be smoking some eggs this weekend for that purpose

In the 80's we started with hard-boiled eggs, and then began spooning them in so that they would not be quite so hard - not runny though.

I put eggs in my tomato gravy, Either poach, hard boil, or crack on top of gravy depending on what I am cooking. I will try egg in my next gumbo. How long do you cook your Hard-boiled eggs before putting them in the gumbo pot? So, do you soft boil them, then put in pot or is the egg hard boiled them put in pot?

With the gumbo BARELY boiling, crack them in around the edges and slowly drop them in. It will take about ten minutes and remember DO NOT stir until the eggs are done. Hard boiling them and putting them is is worthless, may as well eat a hard boiled egg. They don't cook the gumbo into the egg like they do when you drop them in fresh cracked.
Good Luck !

That sounds pretty good actually. Calling it gumbo is, as millennials would say, “problematic.”

Cauliflower rice is the correct answer
If you like spice, some horseradish is pretty damn good in a gumbo

Lol. Agreed. The toasted sesame oil with it is legit. You should try it once.

Green onions are a must for me. Mustard tater salad is as welll

Perhaps I did not make myself clear. Yes. Green onions and eggs are normal for gumbo. It was the sesame oil that I was trying to start a discussion about.

Try a few drops of fish sauce ftw.
