The one problem with using these tools is that I sometimes find myself accidentally selecting a link I'm not interested in. :darn amazing touch-screen technology: This is how I found Martha's recipe for Papaya, Shrimp and Soba Salad. Soba, in case you were wondering, are Asian noodles. My husband loves stir fry, so I thought I would give it a try. It also happens to be a pretty healthy dish.
Like most Asian recipes, however, it has an ingredient list a mile long. :fair warning:
Cutting the papaya:
This recipe uses something called Tamarind concentrate. According to wikipedia, Tamarind is a tropical fruit with a sweet and sour taste. I looked for it a good twenty minutes before I asked a store clerk. It took him approximately three seconds to locate it.
Lesson here, Gentlemen: stop and ask for directions.
My husband really liked this dish. I really didn't. To me, the Tamarind makes it taste like I spilled a fruity cocktail on my stir-fry, but decided to eat it anyway...Go ahead. Pause and consider the thought.
:pause for contemplation:
I'm just thinking: not the best flavor combo.
