THAI - Summer 2019 (Jul-Sept) Cuisine of the Quarter

Pad see ew from Woks of Life.

Second time making this recipe - I double the meat (chicken, tonight) and sauce, with some tweaks (less light soy, more oyster sauce, touch more sugar). This time I needed a little extra water too, as I used rehydrated rice flake noodles and they really soak up the sauce. Delicious.

Looks fantastic! I just made another boring green Thai curry with shrimp & veg.

Thai Pork Jowl (Neck) / Ko Mu Yang / Kor Moo Yang:

Pork jowl is marinated with an intense and herbaceous mixture, then grilled (or in my case, pan-seared and finished in the oven) before slicing thin.

Fabulous cut and wonderfully flavored.

I;ve found out that at least here in the DC area that there is a market difference between the Thai places downtown and affluent areas and those in the much more affordable exurbs where recent immigrants live. The downtown and affluent residential area places are insipid by comparison. I’ve been putting lots of miles on the car to get to them, as we’ve been eating a lot of Thai lately.

The same tends to be true for Latin American cuisines.
