« Previous EntriesThai Salad – Thai Yum Pla Grapong
Friday, February 26th, 2010This is a very easy Thai salad to make as the Thai Yum, Pla Grapong uses canned fish. We used Mackerel fillets in tomato sauce but you could also use Sardines in tomato sauce for this Thai Salad. As with most Thai salads, this is quite a spicy dish but the rich tomato sauce helps to counteract the chillies.
Tapioca Pudding – Green Tapioca Pearls with Coconut
Monday, February 22nd, 2010We used green tapioca pearls for this Thai Tapioca Pudding. Green tapioca pearls are coloured and flavoured with Pandanus leaves. The coconut flesh should be from a young coconut and will be soft and moist. If you cannot find green tapioca pearls, just use ordinary tapioca pearls and put 2-3 Pandanus leaves in the water when you boil the tapioca pearls, removing the leaves when the Tapioca is cooked.
Mung Bean Recipe – Thai Dessert
Saturday, February 20th, 2010This Mung Bean Recipe is for a delicious Thai Dessert called Tao Suan. The Mung Beans must be hulled or skinned first and then soaked in warm water for 4 hours before using. Our recipe uses Tapioca Flour but you can substitute Corn Flour if you wish.

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010Chinese Broccoli with Crispy Belly Pork is a very popular dish in Thailand where it is called ‘Kana Moo Grob” or ‘Pad Pak Kana Moo Grob’. Chinese Broccoli with Crispy Belly Pork is not a spicy dish but full of flavour and the Chinese Broccoli not only complements the fatty pork but adds attractive colour to the dish. The great delight of Kana Moo Grob is the crispy pork skin which adds both texture and flavour.
Crispy Pork Belly – Moo Grob
Monday, February 15th, 2010Crispy Pork Belly known as Moo Grob in Thailand is so delicious that just thinking about it makes my mouth water. Crispy Pork Belly is made from a piece of Pork Belly with the skin still on. Pork Belly is called Moo Sam Chan which means 3 layered pork which perfectly describes this taste exploding cut of pork.
Mushroom Curry
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010This Mushroom Curry is a curry dish from Thailand and uses Straw Mushrooms. As Thai curries go, Mushroom Curry is not too hot and, because of the Coconut milk, is rich and creamy. If you cannot find fresh Straw Mushrooms you can usually buy them canned in Asian supermarkets.

Stir Fry Beef – Thai Beef in Oyster Sauce
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010This stir fry beef recipe, Thai Beef in Oyster Sauce is a great favourite in Thailand. Thai Beef in Oyster Sauce, (ผัดเนื้อน้ำมันหอย). is a perfect example of Thai cuisine at its best, using fresh ingredients and quickly prepared and cooked. Neua Pad Nam Man Hoy, as this recipe is known as in Thailand, is one Thai dish that is hardly spicy at all but still rich and full of flavour.
Pad Kee Mao Gai- Stir Fry Chicken
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010This stir fry chicken dish, Pad Kee Mao Gai, comes from Thailand. Kee Mao in Thai means drunken and this extremely spicy stir fry chicken would certainly help anyone to sober up. Thai food has a reputation for being spicy and Pad Kee Mao Gai certainly does nothing to alter that reputation, being one of the more spicy offerings available and not for the faint hearted.

Traditionally, the shrimps or prawns in Baked Shrimp with Glass Noodles are cooked whole without removing the shell but you can remove the shells if you prefer, perhaps reserving one or two unshelled shrimps to place on top
Mango Sticky Rice – Thai Dessert
Saturday, January 2nd, 2010Mango Sticky Rice is a Thai Dessert that tastes simply sublime. What could be more delicious than ripe luscious sweet mango and Thai Sticky Rice soaked in Coconut milk. Every visitor to Thailand must try this dessert at least once during their stay but it is also easy to make at home if you have access to glutinous rice. Unfortunately there is no substitute for glutinous rice.

Thai Dessert – Candied Cassava Root
Saturday, December 19th, 2009Cassava root, perhaps better known as the source of Tapioca flour, also makes a wonderful Thai dessert. Thai Candied Cassava root is gloriously sticky, sweet, chewy and delicious but certainly not for anyone on a diet, although you can always make up for it later.
Chicken Coconut Soup – Tom Ka Gai
Friday, December 18th, 2009This glorious Chicken Coconut Soup is from Thailand where it is called Tom Ka Gai and has a sour and spicy taste. Thai Coconut Chicken soup though is not too spicy as the coconut milk not only gives the soup a creamy texture but also dilutes the fiery taste of the Chillies which makes Tom Ka Gai a great favourite among the first time visitors to Thailand.

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009If you have never eaten Thai candied bananas before then you are in for a treat. This banana dessert is very simple to make yet sinfully sweet and luscious. We used a Thai banana called Kluay nahm wah for this banana dessert, but you can use any type of banana
