"Five-flavored" shrimp with toasted sesame seeds (gkoong hab roet). The five flavors are hot (roasted dry chiles), sour (tamarind, rice vinegar), salty (fish sauce), sweet (sugar), and bitter (fried garlic and shallots). A whole head of garlic sacrificed its life for this meal. Jasmine rice to go with.
Mrs. C air-fried carrots with chipotle and whatnot. Nice texture and flavor.
This was a wing-it meal on a snowy day. I always have shrimp in the freezer, and we get carrots for the dogs.
