i've been really into tacos lately.
even tacos beyond taco bell.
i actually can't tell you the last time i went to the bell.
no, it's not a secret, i just honestly don't have a freakin' clue.
amazing right?
i even heeded my own advice and used all those asian ingredients i bought last week to make a bulgogi style marinate for chicken.
this was some darn flavorful chicken my friends.
although i imagine if you had time to let it marinate overnight it would have been ever better.
being the impatient one that i am, i had about 30 minutes for marination and trust me it was enough.
and because i can't get enough srichai, i topped the chicken with some srichai marinated bok choy.
oh and the whole concoction got a nice does of srichai flavored greek yogurt
i told you that srichai and i were closer than close.
it's sort of amazing how powerful srichai can be, just a teeny tiny drop and boom, you've got heat!
which makes me think, how in the sam heck will we ever go through an entire bottle of srichai?
i think we would need to have a pho party for 50 before we made a dent in that bottle.
oh and every chicken bulgogi taco needs a handful of finely chopped cashews right?
or maybe i'm just taking crazy pills that make me want to throw random ingredients together and call it dinner.
oh wait, i do that every night.
