Chef John's Drunken Noodles
I did have a drink or three while making these drunken noodles, so I could enjoy them as the food gods intended, which is slightly drunk. At least that's the main theory on how this "pad kee mao" dish got its name. It is one of the easiest, and most delicious noodle recipe I know. Serve garnished with Thai basil.
Gyudon Japanese Beef Bowl
This is basically a common Japanese fast food where beef and caramelized onions are served on top of short-grain rice. Perfect when hot, cold, or room temperature. Good for school lunches on hot days.
Japanese-Style Meatloaf
I adapted this from a korokke recipe I frequently use. Korokke is a Japanese fried croquette made with seasoned ground meat and mashed potato. I combined the seasoning used there with a standard meatloaf recipe to create this fun hybrid. I serve it with mashed potatoes and a spicy barbeque sauce.
