An Homage To Open-Mindedness Sesame Beef With Glass Noodles In Spicy Beef Broth...

Sesame Beef With Glass Noodles In Spicy Beef Broth

In my travels I have learned the importance of open-mindedness and as a result have developed an affinity with trying new things; new, meaning new to me. It's always funny to me when I am in Bangkok and I see the locals ordering hamburgers and "western" foods when I am all in for the local fare. What I am forced to remember and respect is that while "western food" is the same old same old to me; it is exotic to someone that's just not used to eating hamburgers every day. The recipe I bring to you today was prepared with two things in mind. A hope that you will keep and open mind and a prayer that you will try to make something different for you and your friends the next time you cook.
