Last week, the Crush team played; this week, I felt a bit masochistic and so played by myself, alongside nearly unbearable green curry leftovers. The padróns were no problem... the curry, yes.
To double your money on take-out Thai curry, simply don't drink the extra cup of wildly spicy green curry sauce that comes with your order. Eat your veggies, and your chicken if you like, but leave a good amount of sauce--only crazy, agita-adoring people don't have loads of this leftover from a standard order.
Buy an avocado squash at the greenmarket, along with a small Japanese eggplant, some purple Thai basil, and a few multi-colored carrots.
Quickly wok-fry the vegetables with leftover white meat from last week's fried chicken, then plunge into green curry sauce and pour over white rice.
Two carrots, one squash and one eggplant also yielded enough for lunch tomorrow--and there's still plenty of curry sauce to go. Triple your money, then! And I still have seven padróns left... thrilling.
