To All the Meals I've Cooked Before
An open love letter to all the meals I've lovingly prepared and enjoyed
When I was living in Munich a couple years ago with my best friends, there was an Asian restaurant below our studio apartment that had the *best* Thai red curry. I wasn't big into cooking back then, so pretty much every single night that we were home, we'd pop downstairs to pick up an order…
The heat in Toronto has been deadly over the past couple weeks, and I couldn’t bear to turn the stove on and make my tiny AC-less apartment even half a degree hotter, so fresh summer rolls were the answers to my heatwave woes. I actually discovered this recipe in Chrissy Teigen’s Cravings cook book (an all-time fave), but over the years I’ve gradually adapted it to suit my own taste preferences. The key to making this dish *extra* simple is storing away leftover grilled meat in the freezer, so that whenever you’re craving summer rolls all you need to do is unthaw the meat and you’re ready to go.
Secret confession: one of my favourite meals of all time is the Pad Sew from Thai Express in the mall food court. I love the sweet and savory combination of the saucy noodles, egg, and slightly bitter greens. I like getting the beef version when I'm at the mall, but occasionally I switch it up and get the fried tofu version because I love the way it soaks up all of the sauce.
