Toss and a Flame
Finally, a nice warm night where I am home...to grill. I was somewhat torn on dinner. Zoe was tied up and I had two distinct ideas in mind: skewered pork tenderloin or paht thai. For some reason, I opted on paht thai. I guess because I considered it a "whole meal". Although the tenderloins sounded great, I knew I would need more that that for a meal. I use a recipe from my go to Thai cookbook: Quick & Easy Thai by Nancie McDermott. It has yet to let me down.
It seems with most Asian cooking, cook time is short and prep time is long. Also, you must have everything ready to go before you begin. With only a minute or two between throwing in ingredients, you do not have time to prep on the fly.
The results were great. Once again, the 650's side burner performed great. It is hard to believe that I was worried about fitting the wok on the side burner. I have had no problems at all and plenty of space to work the wok around. Asian cooking has been declared an "outdoor process". The smell is too much inside when I get things going. I hope in the coming weeks to make some true homemade General Tso...one of my favorites. It is amazing how good it is without all of that damn breading.
