We're back from Vegas and I've got the rest of the month planned out. I'm going to be relying heavily on my "Best-Ever Cooking for Two" from America's Test Kitchen & Cooks Illustrated up until Thanksgiving and that is just fine by me. This dish caught my eye because it had few ingredients, is simple to make and it's warm - a necessity thanks to the weather outside. The flavors were all great in this dish, but I'd say two serrano chiles was probably a little too much heat for me (my supermarket didn't have Thai chiles). As the recipe suggested, I added more fish sauce and vinegar after serving, and that cut the heat slightly, but I definitely stayed away from adding too many pepper flakes. All that said, I'd definitely eat this again but with slightly less heat. It was all I had hoped for in such an easy dish.











Things I learned from this recipe:
Two serrano chiles for two people + the seeds is extremely hot.
Would I make this recipe again?:
Yes
