Ruckus Sammich

Ruckus Sammich

I had more noodles lines up for all y’all but seeing as how today is 4/20, here’s the druggiest recipe I had in the archives. I’m calling it a “Ruckus Sammich” because much like the Wu-Tang Clan, it is chock full ofdistinct flavors all jockeying for prominence while at the same time coming together in a harmonious whole. This sandwich ain’t nuthin’ to fuck wit.

(N.B. It is unlikely you have all the ingredients listed in the recipe at hand. Substitutions are noted, but each will impact the overall flavor, which is carefully balanced lest it become an incoherent pile of slop. No substitutions have been listed for certain ingredients e.g. the peanut butter powder and Chinese raisin bread because the alternatives–peanut butter and domestic raisin bread, respectively–have much stronger flavors than those called for in the recipe. Basically, not sure how useful this recipe will be to anyone but here it is anyway.)

Malay Dog

Malay Dog

This recipe comes from watching Scott Dogs do their thing and wanting to translate that into some Asian flavors, per my usual inclinations. Not really much else to get into, this is a ginger-garlic-lemongrass Vietnamese sausage from Viet Tofu with some stuff on it and it tastes good.

Obey my dog!

Tamura Sandwich

Tamura Sandwich

The name of this sandwich comes from the bleak WWII novel Fires on the Plain by Shohei Ooka, which tells the tale of Private Tamura, an AWOL soldier from the Japanese Imperial Army. Faced with imminent starvation, he is saved by a diet of potatoes & salt. It is a haunting story and many parts have stayed with me, including, obviously, the part about the potatoes.

That sounds like an odd source of inspiration for a sandwich, but stay with me. I have occasionally had the pleasure of enjoying crispy fried potatoes on a sandwich, most notably the vegetable panini at the now-defunct Pasto. When my dude from Queens Farm was selling Japanese sweet potatoes (which have a roasted chestnut-like flavor profile) at Headhouse Market on Sunday, I decided to attempt my own version of a potato sandwich. Hillacres Farm cream  cheese–the best stuff–added creaminess & tang. I topped it off with sambal, a type of hot pepper relish, which I copped at Green Aisle; it’s their collabo with Doe Run Farm & La Copine and you should go buy a jar right now, for real. All of this went on top of hearty Wild Flour Bakery Yards ESA multi-grain bread.

This is a dope sandwich.

Tuna, Avocado and Cheese Sandwich

Tuna, Avocado and Cheese Sandwich

Everyone loves sandwiches right?  I hope that’s the case.  I don’t think there is anyone I’ve ever met who says, “ya know, I really just don’t like sandwiches.”  If I did meet such a person, I’m not sure how I would react really.  I mean after all, it’s a sandwich and I think they rule.  This post comes directly from the office.  I was running low on time this week but still wanted to put up a recipe or two so I just brought the ingredients in from home and did the photos in our kitchen.
