Finding Comfort in Asian Cuisine

featuring Aromatic-Fried Fish, Creamy Sesame Noodles, and Chicken Adobo (Sa Gata)

The goal of this week was simple:

Create a menu featuring a collection of Asian dishes that can be described as “comfort meals.”

And while “comfort” can mean something different to everyone, I find that common prerequisites in the descriptor are the following…

• Served warm

• Inclusive of noodles or rice

• Easy to enjoy in a shallow bowl (while sitting on the couch)

• Reminiscent of (positive) childhood memories

Which is exactly what these dishes entail.
