I have all the Bad Manners cookbooks except the first. I’m certain I bought the first, but I can’t find it, so I guess I’ll have to buy it again.

This past week, I made Hot and Sour soup out of their FAST AS FUCK cookbook.

I’m not going to share the recipe, because you can buy the goddamn book, just like I did. They’re good people; they deserve the support.

I will say it calls for rice vinegar and soy sauce, which I had, and agave and bamboo shoots and chili garlic paste, none of which I had. I substituted a wee bit of sugar, celery, and a crushed Thai pepper. I also added some corn, because I like corn, and rice noodles, because noodles. ANYWAY, I wish I had added a LOT more cornstarch, because I like my hot and sour soup silky, not watery.

Still, it was delicious! Thank you, Bad Manners! I recommend their cookbooks, especially if you want to eat vegan/vegetarian with joy and excitement.

A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: Hot as a chili pepper.
