It was nice out and I wanted a smash burger because I’ve never had one. Looking at prices it would’ve been over 20 bucks for a meal for two so we decided to just make them at home since they are so easy and super fast to make. I think everything was less than 15 bucks total and we got to keep some extra rolls plus almost a full bag of ore idas country thick fries.

Smashed double doubles with potato roll and home made thousand island dressing and carmelized onions.

Can I ask what recipe you use for the gumbo z’herbes? I’ve been curious about that dish for a bit and any recommendations would be welcome

I have a tamago roll. I thought it sounded like a good idea at the time but I don’t know wtf to do with this.

Do I just eat tamago “sashimi” until I’m sick of it?

Some additional ideas: Spam and eggs musubi, [insert protien] egg musubi, make rolled omelets with ingredients, make a rolled crepe (savory or sweet), toasted sandwiches, rolled pancakes (with or without ingredients), use the pan to make stove top corn bread or brownies

Thanks! Not pictured but we definitely had rice to soak up the aji and the sauce!

@hungryhungryhippos do you have a recipe you use for the lomo saltado? I don’t know why we’ve never made this at home but we love this. I’d probably have to go out and buy the aji sauce too.

I’ve made this recipe for Lomo Saltado from Serious Eats. I liked it. There is even a video on how to do it embedded in the recipe link.

Having a jar of aji amarillo paste in the fridge is not a bad deal. It has a nice kick without being super aggressive about it. A nice addition to many things.

I think you can make any beef stir-fry you like and add aji amarillo and fries.
