The Asian Market

Last weekend I talked C into exploring one of the asian food markets here in San Diego, because I have been on the lookout for some products that might not be available except at one of those markets, such as rice paper, galangal root, tamarind and lime kaffir leaves. We found one in Linda Vista, the wonderful Vien Dong, which to be exact is not an Asian market but Vietnamese. We stuffed our cart with interesting foods (yet found no kaffir lime leaves this time), then headed home to try out new recipes. Since the weekend then, we have had Fried Mini Spring Rolls, Spicy Stir Fry Chicken, Grilled Thai Trout and Fragrant Curry Chicken. All have been pretty yum, yum, but none is a favorite as of yet. But there's a whole list of recipes that we are getting ready to try still.
