Baba ghanoush is an Arabic dip made from eggplant that I’m thinking most of us have had by now. Don’t worry if you can’t pronounce it. Just make it, and eat it.

Thai Chili Garlic Paste

September 14th, 2006 · 2 Comments · Thai, asian, chicken, food, pasta, sauces, seasonings, tofu, vegetarian

I like to mix them with other asian ingredients, like soba noodles. I call [...]
