In keeping with the seasons, I have been craving summer-y foods - cold, fresh fruit, burgers, the taste of grill and one of my go-to meals of late has been a cold noodle salad that I came up with in an effort to make something refreshing and to make a dent in my enormous bottle of fish sauce. This dish has turned into one of our household faves, not only because it is yummy and refreshing, but also, for the cook-er, it is quite simple to throw together. You will find the recipe below but please note that you should always throw in whatever toppings or whatever sauce-y components that sound good to you (I change the proportions based on my mood - spicy, citrus-y, etc.).
Cuzzy! That sounds gorgeous and like something I could make and would definitely eat. However, Thai basil? Persian cucumbers? And what in the world is sriracha? Can these be substituted for Spanish basil, Spanish cucumbers (cleared from the E.Coli scare -- I'd stay away from the German produce, though), and, um, I dunno, black pepper?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous peonies (there is a salon here called Pink Peony, and the owner is called Peony!), and who can't resist a foamy beer served in a mason jar on a warm summer's day? Ahhhhh.....

I must try this exquisite Vietnamese noodle variant. It looks very tempting.
