Cold Shoyu Somen with Ginger Poached Chicken
We’re in the dog days of summer and the throes of what feels like a two-month-long heatwave. Yes, you can remind me of how much I complained about the heat in February when I’m freezing something vital off, but you probably won’t like my response. Anyway, it’s hot here, so that means every restaurant in Toronto is serving up bowls of gazpacho or vichyssoise. And because I’m hopelessly susceptible to peer pressure, my brain whispered this Cold Shoyu Somen to me the other day and I decided to listen. I’d never made a cold soup of any kind before because I’m unreasonably wary of them. I am, for whatever reason, always convinced I won’t enjoy them. But, you know what? I made this chilled noodle soup and I loved it.
Fried Chicken Sandwiches with Scotch Bonnet Marmalade Glaze
Before I get to these Fried Chicken Sandwiches with Scotch Bonnet Marmalade Glaze and Coconut Slaw, I want to take you on a walk down memory lane. If you’re not so much about the walk or the lane but very much about the sandwich, feel free to scroll down to the recipe. But if you’re into stories of humbling humiliation you might want to stick around. I swear it will all relate back to these beautiful sandwiches. Alright, here we go.
