This was a recipe from Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything Vegetarian book. So far, this book has been the less-accomplished younger brother who coasts on the success of his older sister (How to Cook Everything). Nothing has wowed me yet.The braised tempeh turned out pretty bland. Basically, you stir fry some crumbled tempeh with ginger, garlic, and spices (it smells really good). Then you throw in coconut milk, veggies of your choice (I used chopped cabbage, peas, and okra--I was getting rid of what was in my freezer), and rice noodles. Everything was supposed to be bathed in a fragrant yellow curry sauce, and it looked like it would be tasty. But it was disappointingly tasteless. Boo.
All I would like is to recreate the yummy, soothing yellow curry that you find at a place like Thanh Thao. I have been trying to get there forever, and I haven't gotten any closer. Does anybody have any secrets?
