After taking an exam this week I couldn't think of a better activity to wind down with than dicing cups upon cups of ginger, garlic, and scallions along with making some tomato chili jam. I think one thing I'm jealous of restaurants is that they always have sauces or bases to dishes that they can quickly throw together. I realize there are only two people living in this small apartment, but I can dream of having that can't I? Well, the next best thing is for me to whip up a a batch each of fish sauce vinaigrette, ginger-scallion oil, and octo vinaigrette from the Momofuku cookbook, which I've all made before. I love having these sauces around to just quickly throw on something.
I also got a chance to try out a recipe for Jess' place: tomato chili jam. Pretty much exactly what it sounds like and is amazing. We've been enjoying it on some bread with goat cheese or just on the bread alone. I'm sure it'd also go well with some grilled meat!
So....if others are being encouraged to "try doing it yourself"... might we have a recipe?
