Well? What did you have for dinner tonight??

[High_Gravity]

Vietnamese Pho Soup and Salad Rolls (peanut sauce)

Pretty much like this.

That looks very delicious Ropey!

Give it a try HG. The heavier spices are optional. Fresh Basil, Mint, jalapenos and lime go with your optional choices of sauces. In other words, hot is optional.

I like hot though....

I love Spicy foods, I haven't actually had Vietnamese cuisine yet, I have only had Mongolian, Chinese, Korean, Filipino, Japanese and Thai, Korean being my favorite so far.

Why on earth have you not had Vietnamese food?

Don't really know, there were plenty of Vietnamese restaurants around in Virginia when I lived there but I never went, it is something I want to try though.

I doused the spinach with balsamic vinegar.

I've been told I'm a pretty good Mexican/New Mexican/Southwestern cook, but I'm gonna guess that you could show me a thing or two or fifty or so.

We had Gai Choy Stir Fry tonight.

Pretty much like this.

It's a mustard green and is sharp, so ginger and garlic (for me) are a must in order to smooth it. It's more often used in soups, and it's a family favorite.
