So I went online and looked for recipes that used sweet Thai chili sauce, and happened upon this recipe , which was pretty damn excellent, especially after an hour of DDR, 25 miles of bike-riding, a trip to the hardware store (I got to buy a power saw, I am SO EXCITED), and some pathetic attempts to do press-ups and chin-ups. Semi-related note: my arms have way more in common with cooked soba noodles than they should. I am ashamed. Here's my version of the recipe, complete with more veggies, less leek (seriously, l...
