Cooked: Island Beef Pad Thai

I LOVE Thai!!! That's ALL I want to say, made it last night to finish off my Take out TAKE DOWN using the beef I had left over from my cheesesteak, made it my way with the ingredients I had off hand... NEVER need to order Thai delivery again! I'm a VERY happy girl about that. I made it SUPER spicy & had a ice cold beer to cool myself down. SO happy, happy HAPPY!!! Sriracha is true love ♥

So here's the Island part. I didn't have tamarind paste so like the true Haitian that I am I mixed Worstershire & Pineapple Vinegar with the sugar & the rest of the ingredients... MY GOODNESS!!!The Pineapple Vinegar really made the whole dish pop! I'll probably catch flack of it not being a true Pad Thai... most likely by a Thai person or someone that's been to Thailand & thinks they're an expert but then they can always order it from me & I'll charge $10 + tax + tip... thhhhhhhhhhppppppppppppppffffffffffffffffff!

Cooked: Spicy Thai Beef Salad

After a glorious nap while watching WALL-E Lulu♥ & I were ready to chow down! I made us Spicy Thai Beef Salad. I bought a wonderful pre-thinly sliced Ribeye for $2 in Little Tokyo. I didn't have any Thai chili peppers so to keep with my Chino-Latino theme marinated the meat & added chipotle & habanero sauce. The dressing I used Sriracha & cilantro... it was num num NUMMERS & Lulu was very impressed. After talking over how we can make it better she suggested using cabbage instead & I TOTALLY agree! 

The lettuce wilted a little from the hot meat & dressing... who am I fooling, it wilted A LOT! For the dressing I used sesame oil, fish sauce, tamari,lime juice, chopped ginger, green onions, schiracha, cilantro, minced garlic & minced shallots. For the salad I used cucumber, tomato, lettuce & scallions... it's Take-Out... IN! Can't thank my friend Lucas C. for introducing me to this wonderful, wonderful recipe! Great with a cold beer or Pinot Grigio GREAT meal in 20 minutes!♥
