Garden Produce and Google
A few weeks ago we went to Mongolian Grill with some friends. I'm not a huge fan of stir-fry stuff, but when you have a whole smorgasbord of meats, vegetables, and sauces to pile onto your dish to then be fried in front of you, this stuff is pretty tasty!
Our garden is doing quite well these days--we've harvested a handful of deliciously red tomatoes, savored cilantro in everything that we can add it to, laughed about our "English Zucchini" (according to Isaac) actually being cucumber, identified a handful of watermelons (or are there also some cantaloupes in that mess of vines?) that have set on, and picked a handful of sugar peas almost every day.
With all that said, I'm needing to use the peas that are starting to add up...
Annnnd that's when Mongolian Grill gave me an idea: why not google "Mongolian Grill sauce recipes"?? And guess what? I found a website with a ginormous list of recipes for Asian sauces that look similar to the dozen or more sauces at Mongolian Grill! Maybe I should do a whole pile of mushrooms, onions, chicken, peas, green beans, and any other mouth-watering ingredient I can come up with and try out some of these sauces! They look pretty yummy! :D
(By the way, I discovered a cool trick for finding recipes online for specific ingredients: Just google the particular ingredient you want, and when Google brings up that section with "google images" just pull up the page with the images [which ends up filling your screen with tons of food pictures.] You can then scan the recipes just by looking at the pictures and when you find one that looks good, just click on the picture and then you can visit the actual page that has the recipe! No more wading through AllRecipes.com or other such websites!)

Nice! Are you just trying the sauces, or is Isaac building a Mongolian grill in the backyard?
ReplyDeleteWe're not that ambitious :) Just trying the sauces for now.
