This is a combination of sorts, of two of my favorite Asian things to eat- Thai Volcano chicken salad and Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwiches. I don’t think I could ever get enough. I used specific ingredients in this one for a contest since the flavors went so well and reminded me of the sauce from the volcano chicken, which is something one of the local Thai places likes to make. I didn’t win the contest (but should have! 🙂 )
I am fond of Asian food of any type, and the spicier the better. This is a great gastropub food in and of itself, especially if you like drinking the microbrew beers flavored with Thai chillies. But even if you have this with a glass of iced tea, it is going to be a real winner, especially if you like casual food.
Perfect for the weekend, it is just the ticket to spice things up. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did!
