The inspiration for this dish came from leftovers (black beans) and market finds (Asian mushrooms).
When my family and I decided to get together today to plan our excursions for an upcoming cruise to Mexico, Panama and Costa Rica, I said “I’ll make brunch.” And, I didn’t even skip a beat deciding what to make. No rush out to the market; rather, I made do with what was at hand…leftovers from my Asian Burger and Snow Pea Slaw.
As regular readers of FOODalogue know, I love to dabble with Asian ingredients at home. I don’t profess my recipes are an authentic representation of Asian cuisine.

Many people are intimidated to attempt Asian cooking in their own kitchens but the truth is that it’s really simple. All you need are a few specialty items in your pantry. Soy sauce, mirin, miso, rice vinegar and sesame oil are good staples. Add srirachaca chili sauce, if you like a little heat.

But don’t despair. Those that did show up were really creative and provided an excellent representation of the flavors of Thailand.
Note: I toyed with the idea of canceling Egypt because I didn’t want to be seen as trivializing current events, but what better way for food bloggers to show solidarity than to showcase the food? Plus, we all have to eat so we’ll meet you next week at the pyramids.
Meantime, here’s the blogger round-up for Thailand. Enjoy! Continue Reading
