Warning! It’s about to get gluttonous. Like ‘placed an order for one and the restaurant delivered plasticware for two’ gluttonous. Oops!
The Thai/American version of Yum Yum Can I Get A Scoop? Heck yeah!
And I mustn’t forget the Yum Tofu, staple of my DC work trips.
And some foggy soup. I ordered the mushroom dumpling soup, but ended up with shrimp dumplings. Not nearly as good, but satisfied my broth craving fo sho. (Side note: As I hyperlinked the restaurant below, I read that the shrimp dumpling had chicken. Bummer. Kind of grossed out.)
I wish I could wrap my head around how Urban Thai is able to make their tofu so crispy yet so full of citrus vinegar goodness. I’m sure it has something to do with a deep fryer that refuse to own, but still! Perhaps if I broil the tofu almost to tofu crouton status and soak it in an amazing dressing that I have yet to create I’d be one step closer.
Any ideas?
I think this is a “sorry I’m not sorry” moment 🙂
I think the secret might be ponzu sauce.
Sorry for the strange out of context Tweet. Its from a NYTimes article about the Slow Food Movement. I didn’t know it was going to pop up there with my ponzu comment !!
