We had some type of Thai Beef salad earlier and decided to try to make it for dinner. We debated between Pok Pok's recipe and Simple Thai Foodand ended up with the latter. PokPok's sounded more complicated and was very heavy on the fish sauce. It also called for very little meat. The Simple Thai Food one was very little fish sauce and mostly lime. Plus it called for all kinds of other stuff that sounded good. (The recipe is from a digital version of the book. See local link[@rev])
The major changes were:
While cooking the steak, the smoke from the peppers was really bad. But other than that, it was pretty good. Maybe a bit too spicy and definitely too much lime. I really like the idea of this salad but I think I would try a modified version of Pok Pok's next time!
And we made french onion soup. I actually decided to write up the reciepe[@rev]. We made it with a whole wheat english muffin as the bread and skipped the cheese. It was pretty good! I think the long simmer with the onions was really key. Using flour was new and it worked ok but I am not sure it was really needed.
