This evening we assembled to cook a Thai dinner. It begins with ingredients: green onions, peppers, noodles, peanuts, sesame oil, fish sauce, basil, hot peppers. Knife, cutting board, recipe. Plus one excellent chef guiding us through the meal preparations.
Crush the peanuts with a rolling pin!
Then make some piles of deliciousness in various pans.
Finally, plate as desired and eat.
I took notes, so I should be able to recreate this meal. It was excellent. The secret of using fish sauce is to add just enough to counter the other tastes, but not too much that you can actually taste fish sauce, which smells disgusting on its own.
Thanks, E.!
This post's theme word is gasconade, "to boast extravagantly," or simply "boastful talk."
The blog post provided no relevant instruction, serving merely as a gasconade of gustatory gratification.
This had the happy byproduct of snack seeds. Now there is a freezer full of single-pie bags of pumpkin concentrate. A season of pumpkin pies lies ahead!
