<div>I like this dish very much ..even the iceburg lettuce is acceptable, in this case LOL ...but I can't find a decent recipe for it when I google. <br/> <br/>Does anyone have a good recipe? I've been trying to "wing it" from home, but I'm missing something in the "sauce". <br/> <br/>Thanks!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ThaiFood.tribe.net">Thai Food</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>There's a local Thai expert chef, Chef Saithong, who's teaching everyone around here how to cook thai food! I thought it would be hard to learn but its so simple, and everyone in the class was blown away by the great taste. Chef Saithong is a amazing chef and a great teacher. Her classes are so cozy and friendly, makes you feel like you're back in Thailand. Now we don't just have to look up recipes on the internet, can actually learn the right way to cook everything and what to buy at the store. <br/>her website is www.YummyThaiCooking.com</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ThaiFood.tribe.net">Thai Food</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Hey all you lovers of Thai food. When your vegetarian friends come over to visit, the kind who won't eat fish sauce, how do you feed them? <br/> <br/>Do you substitute something like soy sauce in for fish sauce (which I think totally ruins the dish), or do you just not feed them Thai food? Or do you lie to them? <br/> <br/>Are there any substitutions that make the food suck less than soy sauce?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ThaiFood.tribe.net">Thai Food</a> - 17 replies </div>

<div>I've had Thai food at several different places since discovering it a couple years ago. Each place seems to have its' own style of cuisine. I'm not so crazy about the places that make most of their food sweet. Dessert belongs with dessert. <br/> <br/>I like the vegetarian savory type dishes. Are there different cuisines for different parts of Thailand?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ThaiFood.tribe.net">Thai Food</a> - 11 replies </div>

<div>Someone on Mycology tribe asked me for this recipe that features chanterelle mushrooms. I sometimes use red huckleberries in place of lime leaf or lemongrass. Other tart berries work too. Not traditional thai but a nice fusion. <br/> <br/>NORTHWEST CURRY: <br/>I use a pressure cooker because it really infuses the flavors well. Stir fry a little onion and garlic till translucent, add 14 0z coconut milk , 10 oz of vegetable stock or water, and 1 tablespoon thai curry paste of choice, stir on simmer five minutes. Toss in a stainless tea strainer full of chopped lemon grass, a handfull of thai basil chopped, a couple keffir lime leaves, a few tablespoons fish sauce, tablespoon and a half of brown sugar, 4-8 oz broccoli (from my garden) 4 oz chopped chanterelles, 4-8 oz raw salmon. Bring to boil and simmer til fish is cooked or pressure cook at full steam 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro. And lime wedges.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ThaiFood.tribe.net">Thai Food</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>I have tried making spicy Thai pancakes with a sweet chili dipping sauce that is out of this world. The heat levels of both the pancakes and the dipping sauce can be adjusted to taste. You can pair a spicy/savory pancake with a sweet chili dipping sauce or a slightly sweeter pancake with a much spicier chili dipping sauce. <br/> <br/>Start by finely julienning about a cup each of green onion and red pepper, and about a half cup of spicy pepper (Jalapeno, Serrano or Thia Chili depending on the heat level you want) into match-stick sized pieces. Mince up about one half pound of small shrimp. Start by sauteing the shrimp over med-high heat in a neutral oil such as grape-seed oil until about half-way done...(about 1 minute)...add veggies, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (depending on your heat preferences) and saute for another 30 seconds...you don't want to fully cook the veggies, must removing the raw taste, but still very crisp. Hit with about 1 tablespoon of fish sauce and remove from heat, spread on plate to cool. <br/> <br/>Pour a bottle of sweet chili sauce into a small sauce pan over med-low heat. You can add red chili flakes or a finely sliced Thai chili to the sauce depending on how hot you want it. Just warm the sauce for about 10-15 minutes to let the heat distribute through out...do not boil... <br/> <br/>Next make the pancake batter. Use your personal favorite, store bought mix, or one of these. You can up the sugar to make the pancakes a little sweeter if you plan on making the chili sauce very hot. <br/> <br/>BASIC PANCAKE BATTER <br/> <br/>2 c. sifted all-purpose flour <br/>3 tsp. baking powder <br/>1 tsp. salt <br/>2 tbsp. sugar <br/>2 egg <br/>1 1/2 c. milk <br/>3 tbsp. oil <br/> <br/>You may want to experiment with a beer batter pancake. <br/> <br/>BEER BATTER PANCAKES <br/> <br/>3 c. Krusteez Buttermilk Pancake mix <br/>2 tbsp. sugar <br/>2 tbsp. vegetable oil <br/>2 lg. eggs <br/>1/4 can of Rainier beer <br/>Some milk <br/> <br/>Mix in the cooled veggies and shrimp. Scoop a heaping tablespoon of mix (be sure to get a lot of veggies) and fry small pancakes about 3" in diameter in a skillet or griddle in a little butter or non-stick spray. Once brown, place on a rack in 200 degree oven to keep warm while you finish the rest of the pancakes... <br/> <br/>Place a generous amount of sweet chili sauce on a plate. Place one pancake in the middle of the sauce. Prop a second pancake on the first. Drizzle both with sauce liberally. Garnish with finely chopped cilantro. <br/> <br/>This makes a wonderful appetizer or side dish. <br/> <br/>E... </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ThaiFood.tribe.net">Thai Food</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>I fixed this one tonight. It is one of the Pad Thai recipes I use with delicious success. If you do not want to mess around with the Pad Thai sauce and the tamarind, just use the 5 parts ketchup to 1 part vinegar trick. I usually use the Tamarind! <br/> <br/>Pad Thai Sauce <br/>Ingredients (for 3 or 4 servings): <br/> <br/>2 cups water <br/>1/2 package of tamarind <br/>2 tbsp tomato paste (optional) <br/>1/2 cup palm sugar (brown sugar can be substituted) <br/>Method: <br/> <br/>Add half package of tamarind to 2 cups of warm water. <br/>Mix by hand until water is brown and murky. <br/>Pour the tamarind mixture into a pot through a sieve. Bring to a boil. <br/>Add sugar and tomato paste and stir until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and set aside. <br/>Pad Thai <br/> <br/>Ingredients (for each serving): <br/> <br/>1 hand-full of Thai rice noodles (Erawan brand) <br/>2 ounces of Pad Thai sauce (see above) <br/>1 tbsp Thai soy sauce <br/>1 tbsp ground chili <br/>1 tbsp preserved radish <br/>4 prawns (washed, peeled) <br/>4 pieces of tofu <br/>1 egg <br/>1/2 cup of bean sprouts <br/>1 tbsp chopped unsalted peanuts <br/>1 tbsp chopped garlic <br/>1 stem of green onion (cut into 1 inch pieces) <br/>2 tbsp vegetable oil <br/>Garnish: <br/> <br/>2 tbsp chopped cilantro <br/>1 wedge of lime or lemon <br/>Method: <br/> <br/>Soak the noodles in cold water for at least 30 minutes, drain. <br/>Heat the oil in a wok or pan, add chopped garlic, preserved radish and stir-fry lightly for one minute. <br/>Add shrimp and stir-fry for one minute. Add noodles, Pad Thai sauce, and stir-fry until the noodles are soft. <br/>Add tofu and stir. Then push mixture to one side of pan and add a little oil to pan, break in the egg. When the egg is cooked add ground chili, chopped peanut and soy sauce. <br/>Add bean sprouts, green onions and fry until the sprouts are cooked. <br/>Place on a serving plate and top with one wedge of lime and chopped cilantro. <br/> <br/>http://www.briantaylor.ca/recipes/padthai.shtml</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ThaiFood.tribe.net">Thai Food</a> - 5 replies </div>

I got it from Kimke at http://www.recipezaar.com/32944 <br/> <br/>The only tweak I did was substitute Tofu for the Shredded chicken.... <br/> <br/>16 ounces wide rice noodles <br/>2 tablespoons vegetable oil <br/>2-4 cloves chopped garlic <br/>2 cups shredded cooked chicken <br/>1-2 tablespoon soy sauce <br/>2 tablespoons oyster sauce <br/>2 eggs <br/>1 tablespoon sugar <br/>1 1/2 cups mung bean sprouts <br/>1 cup chopped fresh basil (or more) <br/>1 red bell pepper (cut into strips) <br/>1 green bell pepper (cut into strips) <br/> crushed red pepper flakes <br/> <br/>Soften noodles by soaking in hot water. Drain and set aside. <br/>Add oil to hot pan or wok. <br/>Cook garlic. <br/>Add precooked chicken (you can simply boil it beforehand and shred or cut up into small pieces). <br/>Add soy sauce and oyster sauce, and Noodles, stir until everything is mixed well. <br/>Move noodles to side of pan and crack eggs, mix to scramble, move noodles over egg until cooked. <br/>Add sugar (more or less to taste). <br/>When everything cooked and ready to serve, add bean sprouts, peppers and basil. <br/>Add crushed red pepper or pepper sauce to taste. <br/> <br/> </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ThaiFood.tribe.net">Thai Food</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>I had the pleasure of preparing this dish this evening. It is from Sue L at this http://www.recipezaar.com/34202 <br/> <br/>I did not have mushrooms so I substituted with Cauliflower. I like fish sauce, but some of my people do not so I substituted with more Soy Sauce and some Worcestershire Sauce. I doubled the sauce part; and will even double that again... All was very good! <br/> <br/>2 medium zucchini, quartered and chopped <br/>2 cups sliced mushrooms <br/>1/2 cup slivered carrots <br/>1/2 cup chopped fresh basil <br/>1/4 cup chopped cilantro <br/>2 tablespoons soy sauce <br/>2 tablespoons fish sauce <br/>1/2 fresh lime, juice of <br/>1/2 tablespoon minced ginger <br/>1/2 tablespoon minced garlic <br/>2 teaspoons sugar <br/>1/2-2 tablespoon sambal oelek chili paste (to taste) <br/>1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional) <br/>1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil <br/> <br/>In a small bowl, combine the fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, ginger, garlic, sugar, and sambal oelek for the sauce; set aside. <br/>The sauce in this is thin from the veggies; if you like a thicker sauce, add 1 tbsp. <br/>cornstarch to your sauce, but it won't affect the flavor either way. <br/>Heat oil in wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. <br/>Add zucchini, mushrooms, and carrots to pan; stir-fry for 3 minutes. <br/>Add sauce in bowl to pan; stir to mix well, and continue cooking for 5 minutes, until vegetables are crisp-tender. <br/>Stir in herbs and serve. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ThaiFood.tribe.net">Thai Food</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>I'm guessing most farangs know the basic ingredients in transliterated Thai... gai / kai, nur / neur, kao / khao, etc. And you can Google any ingredient name to find it on many websites, even ones with sound files to help you pronounce somewhat correctly. But useful phrases regarding ordering Thai food the way you want, or asking questions in a Thai market... I would love an endless list of them, since I don't speak Thai. <br/> <br/>For example, I use peht maak maak (spicy, very very) but I still get varying degrees of spiciness. I'd love a phrase more colloquial, like "enough kee nu chillis to kill your grandmother" - which in a honor driven culture, you'd NEVER say to a stranger, much less someone who's preparing your food. :-) One moldy rat curry, coming up! But something that says, look, make it hotter than you yourself can eat... without sounding rude or implying incompetence.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ThaiFood.tribe.net">Thai Food</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>im throwing a little "see ya later, amigo" bash and i thought i'd do thai. <br/> <br/>i thought tom ka gai and phad thai for sho, because we will all be at a class until 8 and then dinner after. <br/> <br/>i thought i could have the tom ka gai preped that day, and as well phad thai would be simple to throw together "late" night. Are there any other easy and fabulously delicious dishes that you would recommend for a mixed batch of vegetarian and chicken/fish eaters?? <br/> <br/>:) thanks!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ThaiFood.tribe.net">Thai Food</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>Not new to Thai Food, but new to the Tribe...(vbg)! I have enjoyed Thai Food for about 12 years now. It was only within the last year or so that I began to cook it. My favorites are Coconut Curry Chicken or Tofu; Spicy Basil Veggies; Swimming Rama; Warm Peanut Sauce on Salad; and Padd Thai. <br/> <br/>The easiest for me to prepare is Coconut Curry Chicken or Tofu. I can clean out the vegi drawer for that one. Any vegetable laying around is fair game for this spicy dish. It is fantastic over rice. <br/> <br/>I look forward to reading all the posts...........</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ThaiFood.tribe.net">Thai Food</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Not I! OK, I know there are many other wonderful Thai dishes, but I LOVE good Pad Thai. Here in Boston it's hard to find all the ingredients called for - so I'm wondering if anyone has used one of the pre-made sauce mixes (Thai Kitchen, etc.) that they can recommend? <br/>I've tried the foil packaged dry ones and they are really lacking. I've tried the Trader Joe's Pad Thai - and it tasted nothing like any Pad Thai I've ever had, even in a middling restaurant.

<div>I just wanted to mention this because I'm in the ALL ABOUT NOODLES tribe that my favorite quick Thai snack or dish was the mama instant thai noodles. <br/> <br/>You can eat it two different ways. You can cook it normally like you'd do with any instant noodles. OR you can crunch the noodles in the package and then sprinkle their seasoning on it and eat it like that too. Yummy stuff. <br/> <br/>Try it out when you get a chance to head out to the Asian grocery stores.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ThaiFood.tribe.net">Thai Food</a> - 5 replies </div>

<div>anyone else fall in love with those lovely, coconut-y, tapioca (maybe?) kind of jelly things that are made in thai and lao street stalls. they use a special pan - pour the white liquid into little cups, and watch it cook. when it's done cooking they flip one little cup onto another and give you 5 or 6 "doubles". sometimes there are scallions inside. sweet, but not too sweet. i could eat them all day! but never seen them in the states... [sigh] <br/>what are they called? <br/> <br/>other street favs: <br/>sticky rice with mango &amp; coconut cream <br/>pad thai made on a propane stove <br/> <br/>and what the heck is the appeal of that gelatinous, neon-colored bean curd stuff?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ThaiFood.tribe.net">Thai Food</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>I've tried quite a few Thai restaurants in San Francisco and there seems to be a very wide spectrum in quality, i.e. good Thai restaurants versus bad Thai restaurants. <br/> <br/>I haven't yet put my finger on what makes a Thai restaurant good or bad.

<div>Thai spagetti in other words.... ;) <br/> <br/>I made it for lunch this week and shared this with my coworkers here. So if anyone has an urge for noodles.. Check out how easy and fast it is to make this dish. <br/> <br/>SO very easy to make this everything is in the can. <br/> <br/>A can of Nam ya curry <br/>1 cup of water <br/>Depending how much you like either 2 cans of drained out tuna in water or you can do ground chicken. Taste better with fish. <br/>If you have it add a few kafra leaves otherwise, it's good by itself. Wait until it's boiled and you're done. <br/>Now, if you like it spicy then add ground red thai chilli peppers and mix it in. This will definitely add a nice kick to it. <br/> <br/>Boiled chinese long string beans or cabbage <br/>OR fresh bean sprouts these are your toppers <br/> <br/>Get a pack of Japanese somen noodles, and one wrap is plenty for one person. <br/> <br/>You can wrap the noodles through your fingers in a circle and let it dry a bit so it's not soggy. <br/> <br/>Add the noodles on your plate then add the veggies <br/>Add the Nam Ya sauce <br/> <br/>And there ya have it Thai spicy spagetti.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ThaiFood.tribe.net">Thai Food</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Ah, I finally got the recipe from my Mom and I love eating this stuff and we eat it with sticky rice. Use our hands to dip the dipping sauce and eat it with veggies or jerky style meats. <br/> <br/>10 fresh green chilli peppers <br/>1 whole garlic and equal amount of shallots to compensate the garlic <br/>For salt ingredients - anchovies sauce OR fish sauce OR golden mountain soy sauce [veggie style] <br/> <br/>Cook the garlic first then add the peppers and shallots on a DRY {no oil} non-stick pan. It will blend in the flavors better then putting a foil paper on top of an open gas stove and it will be too liguidity. <br/> <br/>Once that's cooked then use a mortar/pestal to smash all the ingredients together then add the salt ingredient [by taste] and if you want it a little sour either some fresh lime or lemon juice. <br/> <br/>Tell me how that works out for you. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ThaiFood.tribe.net">Thai Food</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>Is so far my favorite "easy to make" Thai dish. I took a cooking class while in Thailand which really helps too. <br/>The BEST premade curry is MaePloy. I have a carton in every flavor (red, green, panang, yellow, and masaman). <br/>I'm still trying to find the best fish sauce that isn't too fishy. I'm lucky that I live close to really large Asian markets that carry all this stuff. The best is fresh kafir lime leaves. <br/>I found this website helpful when I went shopping for ingredients: <br/>http://www.thaifoodandtravel.com/brands.html <br/>Cheers!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ThaiFood.tribe.net">Thai Food</a> - 7 replies </div>

<div>I made the most hottest Thai dish last night. It is so good that I had to put some warning labels for my neighbor and coworker (Burmese) to try it out. <br/> <br/>I used fresh red Thai chillis and when you're chopping or cooking it. It's damn hot hot. <br/> <br/>:) <br/> <br/>6 whole garlic cloves (kratiem), minced <br/>50 Thai red/green fresh chilli peppers <br/>1 tablespoon oil or add when when necessary <br/>1 lb (500 g) ground or minced chicken or pork or shrimp or tofu <br/>1/4 cup (2 fl oz/60 ml) fish sauce (nam pla) or salt/soy sauce <br/>1 cup holy basil leaves (bai ga-prow) which is different then the American or Vietnamese basil you'll see from the Asian markets. This item is a hard item to find unless you head to a Thai grocer or @ the Thai temples events. <br/> <br/>1. Heat a large sauté pan to medium-high heat and add the oil. Add the minced garlic and stir for 1 minute till it's brown, then add the minced chillis. This will start making you cough so ventilation is important and a must. :) <br/> <br/>2. Once it's blended in nicely together add the ground meat or veggies, fish sauce/salt or soy sauce. Continue to cook until the sauce is reduced. Toss in the basil leaves and mix it together. <br/> <br/>A nice topper and Thai tradition is to serve a fried egg either over easy or sunny side up on top of the gai prow with rice. <br/> <br/>One thing that's great about this dish, you can freeze it and eat it whenever you want to so that you can make a larger batch of Gai Prow since the food prep takes a lot of work. <br/> <br/>Oh, so yummy &amp; spicy to my tummy. I can't wait to eat it later on. <br/> <br/>ps. I hope I got my craze Thai foodie fans hungry now. <br/> <br/>:)</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ThaiFood.tribe.net">Thai Food</a> - 0 replies </div>

I love it too much!!!!!!!!! <br/> <br/>The first Thai restaurant here in Manteca opened just recently. Good food, good prices... Ploy Thai Cuisine is the name of it, and it's on Main St. near the intersection with Alameda. Sticky rice with mango is on the menu but they said it wasn't available because mango is out of season. I DON'T CARE!!! USE CANNED MANGO!!! I WANT MY FIX!!!!!!!!!! GAAAAHHHHH</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ThaiFood.tribe.net">Thai Food</a> - 8 replies </div>
