Muay Thai Tofu Soup

This delicious soup hits all four corners of your taste buds, kind of like being kicked in the mouth by a seasoned muay thai fighter. Zing! You can find Thai curry paste in most Asian markets; it’s simply a fragrant concentrate of all the quintessential Thai flavours like dried chilli, garlic, lemon grass, galangal and keffir lime. Red Thai curry paste adds some real heat to this soup so if you’re a heat-o-phobe than I’d suggest you half the amount of paste used.

A Most Egg-cellent Adventure

Early in January, I went on a road trip down to Portland, Oregon, one of my favourite places to visit in the ol’ U.S. of A. While en route, we stopped in Seattle for a day. I find Seattle to be pretty similar to my ‘hood, its sister city, Vancouver BC. They share the same dreary skies, unfair amount of precipitation, and love for an overpriced cup of joe. They also share an exciting food scene, with more and more residents feeling hungry for good, locally-sourced food.

We hit up the Pike Place Market for breakfast and while maneuvering through the busyness of the hungry morning crowd, we found a little sandwich joint called Sisters European Snacks, tucked away in Post Alley. They offer an assortment of amazing grilled focaccia sandwiches stuffed with hearty deliciousness like avocados, eggplants, cheese, and eggs. I had the aptly named “Eggspensive” sandwich, an arrangement of avocado, alfalfa sprouts, provolone cheese, and a fried egg, all sandwiched in between two slices of grilled focaccia bread. Best sandwich ever. EVER!

This sandwich was permanently filed in my brain -  under awesome. When I got home, knowing I could never justify driving to Seattle for a sandwich run during my lunch break, I decided to make my own variant of the “Eggspensive”.
