Reading: Tangy Thai Cucumber Salad
Oh for the love of cowfish ! One of our go-to places for sushi here in Charlotte, NC is a hep and trendy restaurant called The cowfish ! They have a huge menu centered around Burgers, Sushi, and their ill-famed Burgushi. The Asian/American fusion dishes are both beautiful works of artwork and oh therefore delectable, but the Burgushi takes front stage .
Burgushi is sushi made with a hamburger and/or sandwich ingredients. They have thus many amazing dishes it is unmanageable to pick which is my favorite. And if you are like me and you can ’ t choose just one, they have an answer for that a well. Enter the perplex Bento Boxes ! They come complete with samplings of some of their democratic dishes and sides .
When you order a Bento Box they come with salt edamame pods, sweetness potato fries and the crazy piquant side cup of tea, Thai Cucumber Salad ! I had not tried this dish until I started frequenting The Cowfish, but valet is it addicting !
There is a fantastic explosion of odoriferous and off flavors when you bite into this cool side. Well, I had to search the vane to find a copycat recipe and who knew you can make this dish therefore many different ways. So I combined a few recipes that looked and sounded like to The cowfish serve and here ’ s what I came up with .
flying Tip : Seed your Cucumber with a melon baller, then slice !
