Breaking the fast
When I was looking for what to make to break the fast this evening I stumbled across a tremendous page of Vietnamese recipes. Seeing as how aside from Lee’s Sandwiches there is no Vietnamese food in Santa Cruz I decided to give it a shot. I made Ginger and Garlic Rice with Chicken (Com Ga) but instead of the chicken there I used Stir-Fried Chicken with String Beans. I’m not generally comfortable with cooktop cooking being more of a shove it in the oven kind of guy, but having done these I feel I understand it better and have gained a new level of comfort.
The rice was good and gives you some idea what it will taste like when I don’t make mistakes next time. The chicken and green beans didn’t have an appealing smell to me while cooking but tasted good. I know it’s not just because I was starving because Nicole got home and enjoyed it too.
