Pad Kee Mao

So on Friday night, Jay and I decided to become drug dealers or ninjas. I was voting for Drug Dealer cause its obviously a better financial move, but Jay seemed to think Ninja was more badass.



So we assembled the requisite magical mystery tour herbs.



Then I fried them up, to give us the garlic infused powers of the Night and Shadows.



Next we killed a Bald Eagle, butchered it, and added that to the volcano paste. Because all true Ninjas hate America.



Finally we tempered it with some Sand of Space and Judgement. Which happens to resemble jasmine rice, but is far more potent and tastes better with red wine. Also, that bowl was white when I ladled our concoction in it. Now it is black. Like my Ninja soul.



See that skull t-shirt? We are obviously so much more badass now, it is not even funny. Also, our sinuses are crystal clear.

I just read this girl's Livejournal post where she talked about a MORTAL KOMBAT! party her friend threw. Where they dressed up as characters from Mortal Kombat. WHAT THE HELL are my friends doing? NOT THAT.

Pad Kee Mao (drunken stir fry chicken) * 2 cups ground chicken * 15 cloves garlic * 5 fresh Thai chili peppers * 4 coriander roots or coriander stems if not available * 2 tbsp cooking oil (not olive oil, we used sweet chili oil and sesame oil) * 1 tbsp oyster sauce * 2 tbsp Thai fish sauce * 1 tsp white sugar * 1/4 cup chicken stock * 1/2 cup fresh holy basil * 1 sliced red spur chili pepper, optional Preparation 1. Pound the garlic, chillies, and coriander roots well in a mortar. 2. Heat the oil in a wok. When the oil is hot, add the pounded chilli mixture and fry with stirring. When the garlic is golden, add the meat and continue stirring and turning. 3. When the meat is done, add the oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and chicken stock to give the dish some liquid. Add the basil leaves and chilli, and stir holy basil leaves to mix; then serve with rice.
