Cacio e pepe- simple yet delicious
https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/cacio-e-pepe |
| Since today is January 6, I'll say a traditional French Gallette des rois with puff pastry and almond filling. The original King Cake is for the Epiphany, although it migrated to Mardi Gras in the cajun US. I make it once a year - it was a challenge this year to bring back out the butter and flour after the holidays and just trying to calm things down for the new year, but watching those layers puff up is pretty nice. |

That sounds delicious! |
I watched a youtube video of Italian chefs critiquing people that make this and are the most viewed videos for the dish on youtube. It basically came to don't add all the extra ingredients to the dish. In fact most of critiques Italian chefs gave to people making Italian dishes was not to add a ton of extras. |

OMG, please get yourself to a real Thai restaurant. Noodles and Co is a poor imitation of the real thing. Thai Square in Arlington is excellent but there’s no shortage of good Thai places in the DC area. |
^This. One of the best dishes I have ever eaten, and that was 15 years ago on my honeymoon... from a stall in the corner of the market in Bali. It was so incredible that we rued we would never have it quite this way again so we rushed to the market in the morning to get one last hit to eat on our flight home. indescribably delicious. |

Agreed! It’s so, so good. I recently learned how to make it, but have yet to find the proper picked cabbage here. |
It’s ALWAYS coconut milk-or coconut cream. Thais don’t traditionally eat dairy. Also, interesting fact, Khao soi is specifically a Northern Thai dish, which is why it’s not commonly found at U.S. Thai restaurants. That’s because most Thais in the U.S. come from Bangkok/central Thailand. Another thing I want to add to this thread is Northern Thai sausage (sai ua) with sticky rice. Yummmmm. -Thai person from Northern Thailand. |
Interesting that many dishes are Thai that people adore! I need to travel there! Can you recommend a restaurant to try Khao Soi? Or a good Thai restaurant in MoCO or MD preferably? I have a dairy allergy so it would be great not to have to worry about it like I do with Indian food. Thanks! |
Once a year or so, Little Serow has a khao soi week. Might as well start at the top. |
Thanks! I will have to wait though, they are closed for a winter break! I might try to find gado, gado somewhere tonight! |
