So I like good food. I only know how to cook certain kinds of good food without a instructions. Specifically, Asian food (yes, I know that's a LOT of cultures!) defeats me. And many of the instructions I can find are all... Americanized. Or call for things I can't find/ can't buy in single serving quantities (shrimp paste, I see you!).
Enter: Asian Home Gourmet. Indian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian... a great many regions are represented in this line. Every single one we've tried has been restaurant-quality good. They only have actual food in them. Easy to make? Psh. Open Packet. Open interior packet (nice, because then the directions don't get gooey or hard to read). Squeeze into a pan. (Frequently) add a half can of coconut milk. Add... Whatever you're putting in. Tofu? Chicken? Shrimp? Check, check, and delicious check. Hurting for funding? Add chopped potatoes, carrots, shredded cabbage, and lentils, serve over rice. Ignore the fact that the packet so used read "butter chicken".
It is so good. So, so good. Little chili peppers tell you how hot it'll be, although the two-peppers is only a shade above salsa-fresca hot, nothing serious.
IT COSTS LESS THAN $2.00 for a packet that'll serve 4 moderate eaters with rice and a side (maybe a salad or some fresh fruit?).
I just had to tell you all. So easy, so good, so affordable. And I shit you not, moderately priced restaurant good.
P.S. Many are vegetarian.
