I made a fried fish with various herbs for tonight. The herbs consist of Thai basil (stems included), ginger, garlic, fresh red chili and scallions. I love the crispiness of the fried fish and the chili herb sauce. The dish is very simple to make mainly because I buy the fish already fried. I never fry fish at home because it leaves a very strong odor in the house. I always have my fish monger fry the fish for me after they clean it. Saves me a lot of work and doesn't stink up the house!
The second dish I made is called Ma Po Tofu. The dish originates from the Sichuan province in China. The original recipe is spicy but it can be made without all the chilies. I purchase the sauce so all I had to do was brown the pork and add the tofu and the sauce. The original recipe is also a lot more saucy...mine are a little more on the dry side. Will need to improve this recipe but my son loves it!
