About

When a vegetarian appears at the gate and there is nothing suitably uncarnivorous on that day’s tiny menu, we stir-fry whatever vegetables have been gleaned from the morning marketing and serve them forth in this spicy bath of coconut-curry sauce, typically on top of a noodle pillow.

The vegetable selection is highly improvisational; choose what is freshest and best in the market, with an eye to color and shape. If you are a tofu-lover, also add so
