Near record highs in Denver. Good reason to eat a nice cold dinner.

Marinating shrimp, basil/mint/cilantro/scallion, garlic chives, julienne carrots, julienne cucumbers, bean sprouts, boston lettuce and the sauces and ingredients I used to make the nuoc cham sauce on the left (used to dress the salad and to marinate the shrimp, fish sauce, palm sugar, lime juice, chili, garlic), fried shallot, and cooked rice stick vermicelli in an ice bath.

Giving the shrimps a quick turn on the Silver C

Nice looking dish!

try doing the same thing with thin slices of the pork under blade (which is what I do)

I just scored a bottle of red boat fish sauce. I haven't tapped it yet, but I'm eager to do so.
