The Story Behind the Dish
The menu tonight emerged from the typical 'what's in the fridge' moment. Flank steak as our protein and a rainbow of vegetables fresh from the garden (publix again).
Knife skills were the first hurdle. My most 'incapable' friend AF learned to chop onions and bell peppers.
Idk whose reading this, but if you like sushi I'll say this:
If sushi is like the Mona Lisa of culinary art - precise, meticulous, and calculated,
Then salad is like those people on tiktok who throw paint at a wall and call it a day.
So lets throw some paint at the wall:
Soy soft boiled eggs, sesame sticks, apples, corn, onions, bell peppers, and everything in your mom's pantry
Most importantly, sauce it with a vinaigrette and it comes together great! 😺😺
KT 'incapable student no.2' oversalted but grilled the flank steak to perfection
ps~ Spinning water out of the salad might seem like a small step, but it really lets the leaves retain more sauce in each bite.
ps~2~ it was delicious kt and af, im very proud of you
