Every Monday and Wednesday, we'll announce a new Wildcard winner: a recipe that may not have been entered in (or won) a contest, but a recipe that we've tested and loved.
Today: Weeknights just got a lot more exciting.
WHO: FrancesRenHuang is a yoga instructor, acupuncturist, and avid cook living in Buenos Aires.
WHAT: Your new favorite weeknight breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
HOW: Mix together a quick chile-fish sauce. Saute pork; add sauce, and serve over rice. Top with a fried egg.
WHY WE LOVE IT: This dish is just what we're looking for on a weeknight: quick, super-flavorful, and fun to cook. We love FrancesRenHuang's suggestion to serve it at breakfast, too. You'll find yourself wanting to douse everything in the chile-fish sauce -- so make extra to use all week.

wasn't in the mood for red curry.
Many, many, many congratulations!
