Thanks! That octopus with aji limo and garlic aoli was seriously epic. Some of the best octopus I've ever made, without a doubt. The sauce really enhanced the octopus to the next level. Perfectly tender, not chewy whatsoever.nmlarson said:

Chicken broth, coconut milk, fresh ginger, lemon grass, and thai red curry paste broth.
Chicken thighs, Shiitake mushrooms, straw mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, bamboo shoots, baby corn, and water chestnuts for the substinence.
It's hard to take a picture of this dish, because everything is contained undernearth the delicious broth. I took this pic before ladeling a few more large scoops of broth into this bowl. Sooo good on a chilly and rainy Fall day!

Mmmmm I love tom kha, but you need galangal for the broth...
Oh for sure, but my wife is convinced that galangal is bad for pregnant women. One of many things that she is avoiding.The Hot Pepper said:
She made us go back to the store the other day to return some chai tea to the grocery store, due to it having star anise.
Oh! Well I'm sure the ginger worked just as well, some people will swear they are the same anyway.
Yeah, it worked out pretty well. It's interesting the way every culture has it's own wives tales about pregnancy.The Hot Pepper said:Oh! Well I'm sure the ginger worked just as well, some people will swear they are the same anyway.
My wife was telling me the other day about how it's recommended in Vietnamese culture for the woman not to bathe, and follow this strict regimen for a whole month postpartum
Funny how she never brought this up to me, until she was entering her second trimester!
IDK if she is going to follow this regimen to a T, but I know her mom was talking to her about it the other day...
