Gah!

[TGE Naval Officer]

They put some sort of tofu product in my Hot and Sour soup! It tastes like I'm eating a marinated sponge!

[Live Wire]

theres supposed to be tofu in hot and sour soup

[Sith Ahnk]

I've only had hot and sour soup once, and it was absent of any tofu
Regardless, I did not enjoy it.

[Sanis Prent]

Heaven help you Viscera. You need to be culinarily cultured.

[TGE Naval Officer]

*tries to eat hot and sour soup with his chopsticks, a collander and a squeeze bottle of ketchup and nacho cheese*

I say, whatever do you mean?

[Sanis Prent]

I should post my hot & sour recipe, just for example.

[Live Wire]

oh do post it I've been looking for a good recipie

[TGE Naval Officer]

And the *crackers* included with the soup are bent out of shape and twisty, with cracks forming along the top! And they are too crispy. And I don't recall ordering my Hot and Sour soup spicy!

[Sith Ahnk]

Sanis... post your recipe for Famous Sanis cookies

[Live Wire]

Hot and sour soup is suposed to be spicy! hence the HOT part of the name

[TGE Naval Officer]

Famous Sanis cookiees-microwaved to perfection! Now with 20% more gas station speed (did I get that name right? It's been nearly a year)

[TGE Naval Officer]

Hot? It's hardly hot! It's 55F, as is everything else that's been in the frig for 3 hours.

[Sanis Prent]

my recipe for hot & sour calls for hot sauce of choice. I prefer a southwestern sauce "Corazon del Fuego" or "Heart of the Fire" for you non-mexicans. Its tangy, and has the appropriate spices to hit the back of the tongue correctly, but not linger.

[TGE Naval Officer]

Bah. jabanwhatsitjero sauce all the way!

[Sanis Prent]

actually my favorite is a jim beam derivative hot sauce. Its incredibly good, with that nice bourbon smack to it. Unfortunately its tough to find, and doesn't exactly mesh with Hot & Sour

[Sith Ahnk]

I'm not much for spicy foods... I'm flatulent enough as it is

[Darth Viscera]

I love spicy foods! They cut down on the length of time I have to spend commuting.

[Mhalbrecht Dalarsco]

I wouldn't do hot sauce, I would put in pure chili peppers:wings >D :evil

[Loki Ahmrah]

Ooh I love spicy foods. I haven't been to a good Indian or Mexican restraunt in aaages.

[Legeldor]

Indian food rocks! Especially chicken tikka. yum yum.

[Mr. President]

I always liked good Mexican or Chinese food. There're a few good places to eat about an hour from where I live. Great stuff.

I personally like Bean Curd Vegetable Soup. Nice flavor to it. Great when you have a cold.

Mhalbrecht, the problem with whole chilis is that they really aren't that useful in a dish other than as a garnish. You can't really pervade the flavor into a dish like that. You need either a crushed or minced pepper, hot sauce, or a pepper derivative.

[Mhalbrecht Dalarsco]

I meant crushed.
Pure as in crushed and put in, instead of in sauce.

[Charley]

Even then, I wouldn't recommend without some other spices added. After all, hot sauce isn't just liquid pepper. Its more complicated than that.

[Admiral Lebron]

The safeway down the street sells Jim Beam sauces. Lots. Thats one of main stuff my family uses in cooking.

[Lord Gue]

no clue what yall are talkin bout, the only sweet and sour stuff i eat is at a chinese reasturant

[Sanis Prent]

I make my own, Gue.

Also, another thing is to buy sh|take mushrooms, instead of the generic mushrooms other people use. They cost more, but the taste is so much nicer.

[TheHolo.Net]

I'm pretty sure the word shitake wouldn't be censored here, this is in fact not ezboard. :p Well, at least its fixed now, because it wasn't set to just remove that word alone before. :)

[Sanis Prent]

WOW

How's that for fast customer support!

[Lord Gue]

Well, I never had tofu at a reasturant before. I ment I rather had sweet and sour stuff in a soup. All I eat it on is chicken and some sea food...

[Khan Surak]

Thai is the best food, I think, for the most flavor. I'm not saying it's the best, far from it, just that there are a multitude of sensations that only Thai can bring out in your tastes. If you want spicy asian, go for Korean. Maybe Japanese, but the Koreans invented kimchi, and it is very good indeed. I'm not sure how many, but there are a lot of varieties. Gok'doogee, Pa'kimchi... damn. Can't think of any others at the moment.

Basically what it is, is various vegetables sliced or cut in certain ways and dipped/soaked in a special spice sauce the Koreans probably have patened. You have to leave it soaking underground during the winter in jars for the full flavor. Good stuff :D

shudders at the sound of safeway :x
