Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

That has afforded me lots of time to develop my mechanics to a level that has many people above me questioning how I have done this with a maintenance team that is the greenest in the facility.

Never heard of galangal and I'm pretty sure we can't get lemon grass around here sad.png

 

I may be able to get it if I go to the farmers market 45 min away as there is a larger asian presence.

 

Otherwise, it sounds good.

 

I may do the tofu one here, just to try tofu and see if I can get my wife to do tofu. It's not that she or I are against it, but I don't know how to normally prepare it so I'm not going to pick it up just because.

I have not realized what I have been doing until it was recently pointed out to me and sank into my think head.

The tofu will be REALLY plain without the sauce as I didn't tell you how to season it.  But texturally it will be nice.

 

I would bet you can get this locally:

It is actually an okay product.  Considering how much other stuff I have you do that is an acceptable shortcut.  Btw, most Thai restaurants are too lazy to make their own.  It surely kicks it up a notch and can be much better, but there are a lot of steps already.

 

On that note, I always also put Kaffir lime leaves in mine.  I left those out as I know you can't get them where you are.  I've only seen them one place locally, but they are always in my freezer.  Kaffir lime juice is better than normal as well, but good luck with that, lol.  I'd also use Thai Basil over normal...but don't expect you can get that and normal is a reasonable substitute.

The tofu dish I made up.  I am addicted to Laotian Larb and this was my take on making something similar for a gluten free vegetarian.  It may be a dish from Laos, but it is found all over SE Asia but very dominantly in Thailand.  The Thai use a way different fish sauce but it is also yummy.  Steak or Duck please.

And really it is a salad and not a wrap, but Mieng Kum is a very Thai appetizer that I took some inspiration from as well.  That would also include dried shrimp and some other tidbits.  For shrimp paste I actually just pulverize some whole dried shrimp that are in my pantry.  I tried to simplify things a bit...

My favorite Tofu dish is Agedashi Tofu.  My kids FIGHT over it.  UBER yummy.

 

That requires Dried Bonito Flakes and Sea Kelp though.  Good luck finding those, lol.

I understood, if I am chosen and the terms are right, I would be jumping to a sister company to clean up, organize, and build strong mechanics.
