Today, I made a huge pot of goulash. My version, of course. It was pretty good, considering I have never tasted anyone else’s version of it.
I wished I had some celery, (apio), but I did not. It was okay, as I made it, a bit boring, but, while YKW, (you know who), was napping, I added a bit of fish sauce, and it became amazing!!!!
There is, however, about six liters of goulash to contain, which I need to disperse. I followed the recipe, closely, so I am going to hope that those, to whom we disperse said goulash, will enjoy it.
I must tell you, however, that this fish sauce, is a very underutilized condiment. It adds a touch of the newest flavor, umami, into a dish. You need to taste it in a small amount of whatever you are making before you add it to the entire dish. It is, actually, the essence of sardines. Who would have thought?
He has not tried it yet, so, please, do not email him that I have done this. I will let you know how it was received.
Until then, stay happy, stay healthy, stay safe. Wash your hands, cover your mouth, and, protect your loved ones.
