Am Back, Mouth Watering.
On a night when would-be ghouls and ghosts and goblins are a-wandering and the winds and dark skies cooperate to bring about a Halloween mood, nothing hits the spot like a bowl of piping hot soup. This evening I am going with a simple Filipino arroz caldo (recipe here, here, here, here and here), made with glutinous rice and one chicken, topped with nothing more than some fried garlic and chopped scallions… but as I do so I also excitedly fill my menu plan with several other Asian soups that will most certainly hit the spot as well, for all the coming stormy, windy, gloomy fall nights. Two that top my list:
An incredibly beautiful Tom Yam you almost want to reach through the screen with your spoon to have a sip of that broth and a bite of those pork balls…. now if only I could find a recipe…. or come up with something close…
and
Santos’ (The Scent of Green Bananas) merienda, specifically that lugaw that frankly puts this evening’s dinner to shame.
