Thai Chicken Lettuce Cups and Vietnamese Coffee

Click here to get that recipe for Thai Chicken Lettuce Cups. They are yummy! They were in this month's Cooking Light, for those of you who subscribe.

The only modification I made was to save myself from chopping serrano chilis, i added about half a teaspoon to a teaspoon of garlic chili paste instead. and i forgot about the peanuts. but it was just as good without.

NOW, THE COFFEE
the vietnamese coffee doesn't really have a recipe. i usually make it with eensy tin vietnamese coffee cups that you sit on top of a glass and let drip. but i decided to save me some time and just made SUPER strong presspot coffee instead. it worked pretty well. can you tell i was in a hurry? :)

first make a half to full pot of coffee with about 2-3 times the grounds you normally would.

then stir in sweetened condensed milk to your taste (i used about half a can).

after the milk has mixed in, add a bunch of ice. the ice melts to provide more water and also makes it cold, of course. you'll need lots...maybe 4 trays? taste it after the ice has been added and melted. then add more mlik or ice if you need.
