Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

Very good Thai flavor I thought. I wasn't sure I'd like the cucumber with it but it complemented it nicely. I think some kind of cucumber sauce would also work good with the meatballs as a dipping sauce.

A delicious appetizer with a nice Thai kick to it. The presentation with the cucumber is perfect. Very easy to make too!
