When it’s hot out, there are few meals I enjoy more than spicy Thai food. A couple summers ago, I was craving Drunken Noodles (named for the amount you have to drink to cool the burn), but was not within delivery distance of a good Thai restaurant. So I dug up a recipe and started making it myself. For me the sauce is really the key, so I always throw in chicken or tofu if I have it and whatever vegetables happen to be on hand.  What’s the secret to the sauce? Dark soy sauce, which is a little bit sweeter and less salty than regular soy sauce. Sure, it can be a pain to find (it’s at the Asian grocer if nowhere else), but as soon as I bought it I made this recipe at least once a week!

What’s your favorite take out to cook at home?
