What makes Thai food so spicy?

I've frequented a thai restaurant now for a few years, and they serve the best pad thai around. I would like to know if anyone has a recipe for very spicy Pad Thai sauce.What makes Thai food so spicy?
Thai Pepper

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_pepper
Phad Thai isn't meant to be spicy at the cooking stage. It's quite a sweet sauce although you can sprinkle chili powder on it at the table to taste.



(Obviously) what makes the Spicy Thai food Spicy are chillies (in various forms). The very small ones (around a centimeter) seem to be head-blowing-off hot!What makes Thai food so spicy?
I had Pad Thai for the first time ever in a trip to Thailand in September 2007. I looked everywhere for the PERFECT recipe and although i can never get it to taste as good as they make it over there, i have found one recipe that is pretty darn close!!

Certain sort of herb, plants and meat give these aroma's that the human tongue seem it to be the taste of spicy. The most common things may be black pepper, coriander, soy, mint and Chilli peppers.

THAI PAD SAUCE: I need a good recipe for this sauce?

Please don't make me go to Thailand!THAI PAD SAUCE: I need a good recipe for this sauce?
Ingredients for Sauce

1 cup of tamarind juice (or 3/4 cup of white vinegar)

1 cup of fish sauce

2-3 tablespoons of coconut palm sugar (or 1 1/2 tablespoons of granulated white sugar and 1 陆 cups of corn syrup)



*See http://www.thaifoodtonight.com/thaifoodt鈥?/a> for remainder of recipe (IE: cooking noodles)THAI PAD SAUCE: I need a good recipe for this sauce?
Shrimp Pad Thai

Tofu is a common addition to pad Thai. Cut 1/4 lb. tofu into small cubes and cook them along with the shrimp. Or, for a vegetarian version of this recipe, omit the shrimp and Asian fish sauce and add up to 1/2 lb. tofu. Add the tofu to the wok as directed for the shrimp.









10 oz. medium rice noodles

2 cups bean sprouts

1/3 cup ketchup

1 scant Tbs. black bean sauce

1 tsp. Sriracha chili sauce

3 Tbs. Asian fish sauce

1 Tbs. peanut or canola oil

3 green onions, white parts minced and green

tops thinly sliced

1 Tbs. minced fresh ginger

1/3 lb. shrimp, peeled, deveined and halved

lengthwise

1 egg, lightly beaten

2 Tbs. chopped dry-roasted peanuts

1 lime, cut into wedges







Cook the noodles and sprouts

Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add the noodles, turn off the heat and let stand, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 10 minutes. When the noodles are nearly soft, stir in the bean sprouts. Drain the noodles and sprouts.



Stir-fry the shrimp and tofu

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the ketchup, black bean sauce, Sriracha sauce and fish sauce.



In a wok or deep fry pan over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the minced green onions and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and stir-fry until opaque throughout, 1 to 2 minutes.



Make the sauce

Add the ketchup mixture to the wok and bring to a boil. Pour the egg into the middle of the sauce and stir just until scrambled. Immediately add the noodles and sprouts, toss to coat evenly with the sauce and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasonings with ketchup or Sriracha.



Transfer to a serving platter, arranging the shrimp on top of the noodles. Garnish with the sliced green onions and the peanuts and serve immediately. Pass the lime wedges at the table to squeeze over the noodles. Serves 4.THAI PAD SAUCE: I need a good recipe for this sauce?
Pad Thai Ingredients

1/2 lb. dried thin gkuay dtiow or rice noodles (also known as ban pho to the Vietnamese)

3 Tbs. fish sauce, to taste

3 or more Tbs. tamarind juice the thickness of fruit concentrate, to taste

2 Tbs. palm or coconut sugar, to taste

4 Tbs. peanut oil

1/3 lb. fresh shrimp, shelled, deveined and butterflied

3/4 cup firm pressed tofu, cut into thin strips about an inch long, half an inch wide and a quarter inch thick

4-5 cloves garlic, finely chopped

3 shallots, thinly sliced (or substitute with half a medium onion)

1/4 cup small dried shrimp

1/4 cup chopped sweetened salted radish

2-3 tsp. ground dried red chillies, to desired hotness

3 eggs

3 cups fresh bean sprouts

1 cup garlic chives, cut into 1 1/2-inch-long segments (optional)

Pad Thai Garnish

2/3 cup chopped unsalted roasted peanuts

1 lime, cut into small wedges

A few short cilantro sprigs

4 green onions - trim off root tip and half of green leaves and place in a glass with white end in cold water to crisp (optional)

Soak the dried rice noodles in cool or lukewarm tap water for 40 minutes to one hour, or until the noodles are limp but still firm to the touch. While the noodles are soaking, mix the fish sauce with the tamarind juice and palm sugar; stir well to melt the sugar. Taste and adjust flavors to the desired combination of salty, sour and sweet. Prepare the remaining ingredients as instructed.



When the noodles have softened, drain and set aside. Heat a wok over high heat until it is smoking hot. (Note: If your wok is small, do the stir-frying in two batches. The recipe may also be halved to serve two.) Add 2 teaspoons of oil and quickly stir-fry the shrimp until they turn pink and are almost cooked through. Salt lightly with a sprinkling of fish sauce and remove them from the wok.



Swirl in the remaining oil, save for 1 teaspoon, to coat the wok surface and wait 20 to 30 seconds for it to heat. Add the tofu, frying 1 to 2 minutes, or until the pieces turn golden. Add garlic and stir-fry with the tofu for 15 to 20 seconds. Follow with the sliced shallots and cook another 15 seconds. Then add the dried shrimp, sweetened salted radish and ground dried chillies. Stir and heat through a few seconds.



Add the noodles and toss well with the ingredients in the wok. Stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes and when most of the noodles has changed texture and softened, push the mass up along one side of the wok. Add the teaspoon of oil to the cleared area, crack the eggs onto it and scramble lightly. When the eggs have set, cut into small chunks with the spatula and toss them in with the noodles.



Add the sweet-and-sour seasoning mixture. Stir well to evenly coat noodles. If the noodles are still too firm to your liking, sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons of water over them to help cook. Taste and adjust flavors as needed to your liking by adding more fish sauce or tamarind juice; if the noodles are not sweet enough, sprinkle in a small amount of granulated sugar.



When the noodles are cooked to your liking, toss in 2 of the 3 cups of bean sprouts and the garlic chives (if using). Sprinkle with half the chopped peanuts and return the shrimp to the wok. Stir and when the vegetables are partially wilted, transfer to a serving platter, or dish onto individual serving-size plates, and garnish with the remaining bean sprouts and chopped peanuts, the lime wedges, cilantro and green onions.



Serves 4 as a one-dish lunch. Squeeze lime juice over each portion before eating.

    I would like an easy and tasty recipe. Can it be done in a crock pot? FYI I am a single bachelor and would probably take a week to eat it all...A recipe for Thai hot and sour soup?
    The hardest part of making this soup is getting the ingredients. It's not a soup that requires long cooking times, so I wouldn't cook it in a crock pot. This makes 4 servings, so you'll only be eating it for half the week.

The lemongrass and lime leaves are for flavor only and should be avoided when eating the soup.

    Recipe for Thai food- Evil Jungle Shrimp?

    There is a Thai restaurant near my house in Streamwood, IL called Siri Thai. It makes this dish called Evil Jungle Shrimp that is the best thing I have ever eaten in my life. My father and I love to make replica recipes of our favorite dishes, but for some reason we have never been able to make a good copy of this dish. It consists of Shrimp (or Chicken, which we usually ask for as a substitute since my mom does not care for seafood), and a reddish/brownish sauce that tastes of peanut and coconut. The only veggies it has are bamboo shoots and baby corns, sometimes jalapenos when ordered spicy. I think it is red curry based as well. Does anyone have a recipe similar to the dish I have described? I am away at college and would love to make it for my boyfriend! Thanks :)Recipe for Thai food- Evil Jungle Shrimp?
    Evil Jungle Prince with Chicken (Or With Mixed Vegetables)

    Ingredients



    * 1/2 lb Boneless chicken breast (or

    * 2 sm Red chile peppers (up to 6)

    * 1/2 Stalk fresh lemon grass

    * 2 Kaffir lime leaves

    * 2 tb Oil

    * 1/2 c Coconut milk

    * 1/2 ts Salt

    * 1 tb Fish sauce, based on

    * 10 Basil leaves (up to 15)

    * 1 c Chopped cabbage





    Preparation



    Source: Keos Thai Cuisine by Keo Sananikone, Ten Speed Press, 1986 Thinly cut chicken into 2-inch strips. (If doing veggie version, cut vegetables into thin strips.) Grind together red chili peppers, lemon grass, and kaffir lime leaves in a food processor or pound in a mortar. Heat oil to medium-high and saute pepper mixture for 3 minutes. Stir in coconut milk and cook for 2 minutes. Add chicken (or vegetables) and cook for 5 minutes or until cooked (same time for veggies). Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in fish sauce (if using), salt, and basil. Serve on a bed of chopped cabbage. Note: For mixed vegetables, choose from among bell peppers, string beans, water chestnuts, tomatoes (small cherry tomatoes are best), bamboo shoots, miniature corn, asparagus, cucumbers, zucchini, Japanese eggplant, and mushrooms. I particularly like string beans or asparagus, a few cherry tomatoes, shredded (rather than sliced) bamboo shoots, miniature corn, and some straw mushrooms or slender (Japanese) eggplant.

    Thai Iced Tea



    Thai Iced Tea



    Thai iced tea is one of the first things people fall in love with when

    dining at a typical Thai restaurant. It is a native-grown red-leafed tea

    which is spiced with star anise seed. It is usually brewed strong and then

    blended with a rich swirl of evaporated milk. Delicious!



    6 cups water

    1 cup Thai tea (cha Thai)

    1 cup sugar

    1 can evaporated milk



    Bring the water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the tea and remove the

    pan from heat. Stir to submerge all the tea leaves in the water. Steep for

    about 5 minutes. Pour the brew through a coffee filter or a fine-mesh

    strainer into a large pitcher. Add the sugar to the hot tea and stir to

    dissolve. Cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until ready to

    serve.

    To serve: Fill tall glasses with crushed ice. Add enough of the tea to

    fill the glasses to within 1 inch from the top. Then float 3 to 4

    tablespoons of evaporated milk over the ice in each glass.What is the recipe and method in making "Thai Ice Tea" as served inThai restaurants?

    Ingredients :



    3 tbl Thai tea (cha Thai)

    6 oz Boiling water

    Sugar or sweetened condensed milk to taste

    Milk or half-and-half



    Method :

    1. Place tea in a coffee filter in a drip cone. Preheat carafe with boiling water; discard water. Pour 6 ounces boiling water per serving into cone and let it drip through. Transfer brew to another container, then pour back through filter. Repeat until tea is deep red in color, a total of 4 to 6 times.

    2. Sweeten tea to taste with sugar or condensed milk. Fill tall glasses with ice cubes and add tea to fill glasses halfway. Add milk or half-and-half and stir.

    Variation: The tea may be brewed in a teapot, but it will still need to be filtered through a paper filter or a very fine nylon strainer. Preheat pot with boiling water and allow to steep 6 to 8 minutes before straining.

    THAI GINGER-PEANUT SAUCE



    Take a quantity, say a can or two, of chicken soup broth. Heat, and stir in non-hydrogenated peanut butter until a thicker consistency is attained. Add in as much chopped ginger as you think you can. Add one or the other until the flavors balance. If the stock is too thin, add some cornstarch, but go light on it. Allow to cool. It helps to add soy or tamari sauce, and if you can handle it, nuoc mam sauce. Herbs like tarragon or chives, or even lemon balm, will give it a graceful quality quite unlike any American food. Serve over oriental style stir-fried vegetables, or rice.

Well..it didnt melt my stomach but it was absolutely delish. We used it on spring rolls as well as fried rice.

    You could use Sriracha Chili Sauce and add chopped habaneros to it, this sauce is very garlicky but good. Or if you were looking for something on the sweeter side try Mae Ploy sweet chili sauce and add habaneros. I think you can get both of these from Amazon grocery. Good luck.

    Thai food is my favorite food. There are too many dishes to name but in general, most of my favorites are stir fries or noodle dishes.



    Pad Thai is the most common Thai dish and is my favorite. Sauteed rice noodles with a tamerind based sauce with peanuts, shrimp, tofu.



    I also like the curries. Different than indian curries in that they tend to use curry pastes. There are coconut curries, green curries, red curries and yellow curries. Each with their own unique flavor.



    If you go out for Thai, I recommend starting with a spicy chicken soup with a coconut curry base and then pad thai for your entree. Perhaps a spring roll as well.I have never tasted thai food before,but i really really want to..?

    There are almost as many ways of making Thai tea as there are Thai restaurants. I love the richness the cardomom, cloves and cinnamon add. You can also skip the sugar and use sweetened condensed milk in place of the half-and-half. No other tea will substitute for Thai tea--you can find Thai tea in Asian markets, or if you are really lucky, in the Asian section of your grocery store. Prep time does not include chill time.

    Wow, thanks for this exotic and refreshing recipe. The Thai tea leaves were so hard to find. Our Chinatown in Montreal only had one shop that carried them (to my surprise and delight it was the green tea variety) and they told me to put it through a coffee maker to filter it. Well, I did and it worked out great as soon as I got my measurements correct. So I made basic Thai Tea without the cinnamon, cardamom and clove- two rounded teaspoons of tea for every cup of water in the coffee maker. Then I added two teaspoons of sugar for every cup of tea, sweet enough for my taste,and chilled it. When it was time to serve-poured it over some ice and half 'n half to top it off. Next time though I'm going to try to top it off with the sweet condensed milk as "shimmerchk" suggested.

    Just a little note, intead of adding sugar and half and half, a lot of Thai cooks (including my mom) just top this with sweetened condensed milk. I don't add cinnamon to my recipe, but otherwise it is the same as this one and is really DELICIOUS!

    Wonderful! This exactly the same tea I have been served in Thai recipes and have tried to duplicate for some time. Really delicious and unique. The color is gorgeous - the orangey color of the tea topped with the creamy half n half makes a striking presentation in a clear glass. Note: Only Thai tea leaves will produce the unique color and taste. I found mine in an Asian market in a giant bag, but have also seen them for sale in online asian markets.

    Thai Style Sweet and Sour Fish Recipe?

    10 points fof the best recipe.Thai Style Sweet and Sour Fish Recipe?
    i don't know much but like to help...





    This fish recipe with sweet and sour sauce and vegetables is incredibly delicious, plus easy to make. An authentic Thai dish that is quickly put together and simmered on the stove, filling your kitchen with the fragrance and alluring scents of Thai cooking. Add sweet bell peppers and fresh coriander, and you have a gourmet Thai dish that's super healthy, yummy, and quick to make. As a bonus, any type of fish can be used for this recipe, from salmon to cod to snapper (fresh or frozen)!

    INGREDIENTS:



    * 3-4 fillets of your choice of fish, such as salmon, cod, snapper, etc... (pictured here: wild sockeye salmon)

    * 1 red bell pepper, de-seeded and sliced

    * 1 green bell pepper, de-seeded and sliced

    * 1 small-medium cooking onion, chopped

    * 3 cloves garlic, minced

    * 1 stalk lemongrass, minced, OR 2 Tbsp. frozen prepared lemongrass (For more on lemongrass, see below)

    * (optional: 1/2 cup fresh or canned pineapple chunks or tidbits)

    * handful fresh coriander and/or fresh basil (for garnish)

    * 2 heaping tsp. cornstarch dissolved in 2-3 Tbsp. water

    * SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE:

    * 6 Tbsp. ketchup

    * 2 Tbsp. fish sauce

    * 3 Tbsp. soy sauce

    * 1+1/2 cups water

    * 1-3 tsp. chilli sauce (OR 1-3 fresh chillies, minced; OR 1-3 tsp. dried chilli flakes) - 1=mild, 2=medium,3=hot

    * 1 Tbsp. rice vinegar (OR other vinegar such as white, apple cider, etc...)

    * 3 Tbsp. brown sugar



    PREPARATION:



    1. Rinse the fish under cold water and pat dry. Using a sharp knife, cut the fillets into halves or thirds (so you have smaller chunks of fish). Set aside.

    2. Pour 2-3 Tbsp. canola or other good-quality oil into a wok or large frying pan. Set over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, and lemongrass*. Stir-fry until fragrant (about 1 minute).

    3. Add all the sweet and sour sauce ingredients. Stir well to incorporate.

    4. Now add the fish pieces plus the bell pepper slices to the wok. Stir well. When sauce begins to bubble (nearing a boil), turn heat down to medium.

    5. Cover and allow to simmer for 5-6 minutes.

    6. Remove cover and stir well. Return cover and continue to simmer for another 5-6 minutes.

    7. Check fish by inserting a fork into the center of one of the thicker fillets. Gently pull apart the flesh - if it's still translucent, the fish isn't cooked yet. If the flesh is opaque, it's done.

    8. If fish needs more time, return cover and allow to simmer 2-3 more minutes.

    9. When fish is done, taste-test the sauce. You should taste a balance between sweet, sour, and spicy, veering more on the sweet side. If not sweet enough, add 1-2 more Tbsp. brown sugar. If too sweet, add a little more vingear (1-2 tsp.). If not salty enough, add 1-2 Tbsp. more fish sauce.

    10. To thicken the sauce, add the cornstarch (along with the water it's dissolved in). Stir well over medium heat, until the sauce has reached desired thickness.

    11. To serve, scoop fish, vegetables, and sauce into a serving bowl. Top with fresh coriander and/or basil, and enjoy with plenty of Thai jasmine rice (white or brown). If desired, pair this dish with a cold lager or your favorite white wine. Enjoy!

    Thai Sweet And Sour Fish, "Kraphong Khao Priao Wan"



    This is prepared from steaks of kraphong khao (sea bass), but you could easily use another fish (it works very well with shark steaks). You can cook the fish in a electric deep frier if you wish (high heat is not required).



    Requires 4 half inch thick fish steaks.



    Prepare a marinade consisting of:--



    2 tablespoons rice wine

    2 tablespoons light soy sauce

    2 tablespoons wheat flour

    2 tablespoons rice flour



    Dredge the fish in the marinade, and leave to stand for about an hour so that the fish is infused with the flavor.



    Heat oil for deep frying in a deep skillet or large wok over medium heat, and when it is hot, add the fish, turning once, until cooked through. Remove the fish, drain the excess oil, and place on the serving platter.



    Sauce



    1 onion, chopped,

    1 green bell pepper, chopped

    1/3 cup sugar

    2/3 cup tomato ketchup (or Thai ketchup)

    1/4 white rice vinegar

    4 tablespoons rice wine

    1/2 cup fish stock (or water)

    1/2 cup pineapple pieces



    In a small pan saute the onion and sweet pepper, add the remaining ingredients, except the pineapple, and simmer until slightly reduced. Add about a tablespoon of rice flour to thicken the sauce, then add the pineapple and heat through.

    you could also go to the book store like barnes, they have a lot of picture books on how to cook these cuisines



    if there's something in particular you want to cook, i'd google it and read up on the recipes

    some ingredients can be found in regular grocery stores, others, you'd have to go to an asian grocery store. these are generally much cheaper than ordering things on line.



    most oriental foods use fresh veggies (usually diced very fine) including but not limited to:

    carrots

    celery

    bok choy

    cabbage

    water chestnuts

    onions

    bean sprouts

    edamame beans

    peppers

    wasabi (green horseradish sauce; very hot)

    ginger (fresh or already slice in the bottle)

    sticky rice (see my sushi recipe above for how to make)

    cornstarch (to thicken and make brown sauce)

    soy sauce

    to name a few.



    the asian store i go to, they don't really speak too much english, so i pretty much have to know what it is i am looking for.

    so....research what you want to cook, make a list and have fun with it

    Wash and chop up the coriander roots very finely, if you can't get the roots it's okay to use stems or even the leaves (they will still help the marinade but the leaves tend to burn off in the cooking so you'll lose the texture)



    Rough chop the garlic



    Mix everything in a bowl and leave for 2 hrs or more 24 is even better (except the oil, that's for cooking later)



    Heat oil in a wok or deep pan at medium/high put in marinated pork and garlic, fry until dark golden brown before you remove and drain using a sieve

    I am single and have trouble making things for myself. Does anyone have any tips or recipes?

    I like thai, vietnamese or korean foods especially and ethinic foods are my favorite or any Indian Good dishes

    10 . point for the best answerI am single and have trouble making things for myself. Does anyone have any tips or recipes?
    I'm not single but, I cook alot for my family. I love to cook stir-fry and rice. They are both simple. Actually both are from differnt contients. I'm Brazilian and so is the rice.

    Rice-

    For each cup of rice put two cups of water. 1 cup of rice can feed my 5 person family (including my step father and little brother meraculiously). Put the cup of rice into a good 6 inch pot when its hot. Add the enough olive or vegtable oil on the rice just to cover each grain. Stir for a couple of minutes and allow the rice to warm. After a couple of minutes add the two cups of water and a little salt to taste. You can even add onioun or bell peper ( I enjoy the orange ones with rice ). Put the rice and water together and leave it on high until the water is boiling which should be 10 minutes. then turn the heat down to low and let it rest for about 20 minutes or whenever the rice grains soaked up all the water.

    Stir-fry-

    Get a bunch of healthy vegatables. Aim for squash though like zucinnii and yellow squash. ( those are my favoraite in this dish ). Brocolii is like a staple in stir-frys so i must say its a must but, you can do without it. Bell pepers too. I love red, orange, and yellow. They add a bit of sweetness to the dish not to mention color :) An oinioun is important to the dish also. I love to add chicken

    Cooking prossce for the stir-fry:

    I use a walk (i know im spelling it inorrectly but look at the picture I found-which took forever me i cnt spell the name of the darn pot-but its the very large one in the upmost left coner. you cant miss it-it's hudge.) but u can use a regular satuee pan too. Any how get it hot and rest your hand over it after five minutes. if you can hold your hand there for about 7 seconds w/o it hurting is great. and some olive oil maybe a nickle size and add the brocolii carefully bc the oil will be hot also bc the pan is hot. let the ends brown just a tad bit. then add the oninoun and let it carmilze with the brocolii. you know you've gone too far when the ends of the brocolii are dark brown. if you wanna add any meat, put some oil into the pan and let the meat cook like you would in any other pan (allow it to brown and watch the middle of it. midum heat is the best)Add the rest of the veggies. then for the sauce:

    -soy sause as much as u cna to cover the ti[ of your veggies and meat if u added meat.

    -peanut oil ( a little bit bc its very strong. i use for shakes )

    -salt and peper to your likings.

    -fresh ginger is great to make it more asian but ground ginger is ok too.

    Taste it and see if you like how much soy sacue and what not to add in. I just simply look at my spices and see what sounds and smells good. lol. the dish is easy but, only seems hard bc i blabbered on. it takes 30 minutes tops.
    buy a cook bookI am single and have trouble making things for myself. Does anyone have any tips or recipes?
    sesame seed chicken- buy boneless chicken tenderloins or breasts and cut up into chunks-then batter it. To do this have a plate with flour a bowl with egg and cracker crumbs or cornflakes.dip it in the flour then egg then crumbs.Heat peanut oil in a pan on medium high. throw the chunks in-an fry-then maqke the sauce -a cup each of sugar,water,toasted sesame seeds and soy sauce in a sauce pan heat till the sugar dissolves keep it on medium heat so it doesnt boil.let cool and toss it with the sauce-actually make sauce first then chicken
    Ask your Mum.

    I mean really you should have paid attention when you were a kid. It is not effeminate for a male to learn how to cook.

    Look up Anthony Bourdain for world wide cuisine.

    Or just get a tin of food at the market.I am single and have trouble making things for myself. Does anyone have any tips or recipes?
    Korean food can be very involved, depending on what you want to make. (Kimchis need to be fermented forever, for example.) Other things can be quite simple.



    As for Thai, there are a lot of products out there to make things easier: curry paste, pre-made sauces in jars, etc. I'd start with those and then "graduate" to some cookbooks. Assuming you don't have any serious dietary restrictions, I suggest starting with a simple curry. I make mine vegetarian, but chicken is probably the easiest meat to use if you want meat. This is a quasi-Thai recipe. (Thai-inspired?)



    Slice half an onion into crescents.

    Peel a carrot or two and cut them on the diagonal.

    Dice a sweet potato and a potato.

    Halve a zucchini lengthwise and slice it on the diagonal.

    Cut some broccoli into florets.

    Grab some frozen peas. Heat them in a saucepan with a bit of soy sauce.

    Etc.

    Cut up some chicken breast, if you want it.

    Dice some tofu, if you want it.



    Basically, heat some olive oil (on the low end of medium) in a big pot and add the onions. When the onion starts to get translucent, add the meat. When it's mostly cooked, toss in the veggies (start with the ones that take longer to cook) and stir. The peas don't go in until the last moment. Once things have started to cook a bit (they shouldn't be browning), add a scoop of curry paste, or a good dose of curry powder. Pour in a can of coconut milk (or two, if you're making a lot). Let everything simmer until the veggies are done the way you like them. Taste to check for seasonings. Serve over steamed rice.



    Easy and more brag-worthy than takeout.
    I have a few tips...write down a few meals that you would like to make...know how to make...that are easy to make...go to the store and buy all the products for those meals...make them all up in one day when you are truly in the mood and have time to cook...and then put them in air tight containers and store them in the freezer and everyday take one out...whatever you are in the mood for....that way...just one day of trouble but a week or so of good meals that you only have to defrost and heat a bit....
    Not what you are looking for, but I love mongolian barbecue. I work from home, so when my husband is at work and kids at school, I keep things on hand to whip up a quick stir fry/mongolian barbecue.



    I make up a batch of asian noodles or spaghetti and keep it in the fridge in a ziplock bag so I can just pull some out to throw in the wok. I also found those frozen Philly cheesesteaks, but it's just the steak, they are sliced really thin and one is the perfect size for a single stir fry meal.



    I make a mixture of watered down soy sauce with a little bit of salt and sugar mixed in, then I heat up the wok and throw in some sesame oil, lemon juice, a spoonful of minced garlic, add one of those steaks, slice up an entire zucchini (because I love zucchini), throw in frozen veggies like broccoli and carrots, slice up a mushroom or 2, some peppers and onions, then add the noodles and then pour a bit of the water down soy sauce mixture and cook til the veggies and steak are done. The steak will break up into thinly sliced pieces. I'm done in about 10-15 minutes.



    I like fresh veggies, but you can get most any veggies frozen and ready to throw into a quick stir fry.
    Well if you aren't very good at cooking then you should stick to simple. I recommend frozen spring rolls or something like that.



    If you aren't a good cook but you think you can learn easily enough, just buy a cookbook or try online recipe websites. Here is one I found for you: http://www.vietnamese-recipes.com.



    If you grew up eating vietnamese/korean foods and that's why you like them so much then you should just ask your mom (or whoever cooked dinner) for some recipes.

    Lucky,



    The hardest thing to do in the culinary world is to cook a meal for one person. It is mighty damned difficult.



    My suggestion is to purchase either a vacuum sealer and use standard recipes, freezing the leftovers using your vacuum sealer, or purchase some good freezer safe containers for the same purpose. This way, you can make a good meal, freeze the leftovers, and make another meal the following week.



    I can't suggest any specific recipes since I don't care for Vietnamese or Korean Cuisine.

    Make simple rice: One cup of rice grains, washed and dried. Keep two cups of water to boil. Add a little salt and add the washed rice grains to it. Cover the pot with lid and cook the rice on low flame. It takes nearly 20 -25 minutes. This is basic recipe of rice. You may add vegetables and spices as per your own taste to it.



    Sandwitch is the another simple recipe you may try. Apply butter to the bread slice, tomato sauce then tomato and cucumber slices and cover this with another slice. Sandwitch is ready.



    Each person who eats food should start learning cooking right from the childhood starting with simple recipes. This helps you to develop your skills in various fields. Cooking involves a lot of science and at the same time it is a wonderful art that every human being should at least try to learn.

    Yellow Curry Paste Ingredients



    12 dried thai chilis

    2 tsp sea salt (or coarse salt)

    2 shallots, peeled

    4 cloves garlic, peeled

    1 thick slice fresh galangal (or dried galangal soaked in water until softened)

    1 stalk lemon grass, sliced crosswise (discard tough outer leaves and the root end)

    1 thick slice peeled ginger root

    1 tbsp coriander seeds

    1 tsp cumin seeds

    2 tsp curry powder

    1 tsp shrimp paste (kapee)

    Preparation



    Dry roast corinder seeds and cumin seeds until fragrant over low flame in a heavy bottom pan (be careful not to burn). Set aside. (See a more detailed explanation of dry roasting spices).



    Pound in a mortar and pestle or process in a small blender/food processor container in the following order: dried chiles, sea salt, shallots, garlic, galangal, lemon grass, and gingerroot. Process or pound until smooth but some small pieces can still be seen.



    Now add the roasted spices and curry powder. Process or pound again until the seeds are completely broken up into powder and the paste is blended through. Last add the shrimp paste and gently blend in, using the mortar or processer.



    Yellow Curry with Chicken (Gaeng Ka-Ri Gai) Ingredients



    3 tbsp yellow curry paste (either from the recipe above or from a can like MaeSri brand)

    1 lb chicken, cut into 2 inch pieces (cut through the bones with a sharp cleaver if using chicken with bones)

    2-3 small red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 2 inch pieces

    1/2 tsp sea salt

    1/2 can (16oz) coconut milk, shake before opening to mix seperated milk

    2 tbsp fried shallots (available ready-made in a plastic jar), optional

    1 tsp fish sauce, to taste (Golden Boy brand is recommended)

    Preparation



    In a small bowl mix the curry paste with 1 Tbsp. of water to dilute. Add to the coconut milk in a medium sized sauce pan. Stir to mix. Add the chicken and potatoes, and 1/2 tsp of sea salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the meat and potatoes are cooked through, not simmering on low heat, but let the curry roll on a low boil.



    At the end of cooking, taste and add fish sauce to adjust the saltiness. Cook a minute longer. Remove from heat. Garnish with fried shallots (available ready made in a plastic container), if desired. Serve with Thai jasmine rice.Anyone have a good recipe for chicken curry "Thai style"? And spicy?
    10-20 dried red chillies

    1 T ground corriander seed

    1 t ground cumin

    1 t ground cinnamon (from fresh bark)

    1 t gound cloves

    1 t ground star anise

    1 t ground cardamom

    1 t ground white pepper

    4 T chopped shallots (i.e. the small red skinned onions)

    4-6 T chopped garlic

    2 2" pieces of lemon grass stalk, sliced into thin rounds

    a cube about half an inch on a side of galangal root, roughly chopped

    1 T "kaffir" line skin (ordinary lime skin will do if you can't get it)

    1 T "kapi" (preserved shrimp paste - note this smells awful until after

    you cook it, but it is quite essential to the flavor)



    To this you add a little salt: preferably about 1-2 t of fish sauce.



    The galangal is roasted before use. The ground spices should preferably

    be fresh, in which case you should briefly toast them in a wok without

    any oil to bring out the flavor before grinding them.



    The ingredients are blended to a fine paste (traditionally in a heavy

    granite mortar and pestle, but you can use a food processor just as

    well, and with far less effort). Note if you can get fresh red chillies

    you can usefully use them instead of the dried ones.



    The curry

    ---------



    about 1 pound of shicken (you can also use pork or beef), cut into the

    usual "bite sized pieces"



    3 cups of coconut milk.

    2 T roasted peanuts (unsalted of course)

    5 peeled, but whole, small onions.

    5 small potatoes, peeled and partly boiled.

    3 bay leaves,

    5 roasted cardomom fruits (i.e. the whole pod)

    a small piece of roasted cinnamon bark

    3 T palm sugar (you can use a light brown sugar instead if you can't get

    palm sugar)

    3 T tamarind juice (this is the "sour" ingredient - you can use white

    vinegar instead if you can't get tamarind juice. The juice is made by

    soaking tamarind paste in a little water then squeezing it out, and

    running it through a seize to extract the juice from the pulp).

    3 T lime juice

    1-3 T of the curry paste (above).

    about 1-3 t crushed garlic. (optional)



    Allow the coconut milk to separate and you will have about 1 cup of

    thick "cream" and two cups of thin "milk". In a small saucepan bring the

    milk to a simmer and add the chicken or pork. If you are using beef you

    will need another two cups of milk. simmer the meat until it is

    beginning to become tender (beef takes longer, hence the additional

    milk).



    Put the coconut cream in a wok and bring to a boil, add the massaman

    paste and "stir fry" until the flavor is brought out and maximised. The

    coconut oil will seperate out and can be skimmed off with a spoon or

    ladle. (this removes much of the vegetable cholesterol or whatever it is

    called, and makes the dish much less trouble for those watching their

    weight or heart).



    Add the remaining cream and curry paste to the meat.



    Add teh peanuts. taste and adjust the flavor until it is (just) sweet

    (by adding sugar), sour and salty (by adding tamarind juice, lime juice

    and fish sauce).



    Add the remaining ingredients and cook until cooked.



    Note : the potatoes we use are a yellow fleshed sweet potatoe of the

    type sometimes called a yam in the US. Western style potatoes can be

    used, but absorb less of the sauce and flavour. The potatoes act as a

    "moderator" to reduce the heat of the curry, and should not be left out.



    You can either serve it on a bed of rice, or double the amount of

    potatoe and serve it alone.



    Accompany it with a dressed green salad and a bowl of pickled cucumbers.

    The traditional Thai table also offers chillies in fish sauce (Phrik nam

    pla) cillies in vinegar (phrik nam som or phrik dong), powdered chilli

    (phrik phom - not to be confused with the powedered chilli mix sold as

    chilli powder in the US - it only contains chillis), sugar, and often

    MSG. You can if you wish add about a teaspoon of MSG to the above recipe

    to bring out the flavors, but I personally don't think it is necesary.



    And finally a word of warning to those who burn their tongues on the

    chillies: chilli/curry cooked this way is oily - drinking water does not

    alleviate the burn, it spreads it around your mouth and throat. You

    should use a sweet effervescent beverage such as Coke, Pepsi or 7 UP to

    wash the burn away as quickly as possible. If you do not suffer the

    burn, I suggest you accompany the meal with a beer Singha is

    traditional, but any strong flavored lager stype beer will do), or a

    robust red wine.

    MARINADE

    1 cup vegetable stock

    2 tbl soy sauce

    1 tbl chile paste

    Cooking spray



    CUCUMBER RELISH

    1/4 cup rice wine vinegar

    1/4 cup sugar

    1/4 cup water

    10 x cilantro stems

    2 x cloves garlic, minced

    Salt, to taste

    1 x cucumber

    cut in half lengthwise

    seeds removed, thinly sliced

    1 tsp minced ginger root

    1/4 tsp chile paste

    2 tbl coarsely chopped cilantro leaves, (optional)



    Method :

    Makes 6 servings

    Most Thai recipes include the instructions "brung tam chop jai," or season to taste. " In older recipes, no quantities were given. Thais believe each cook tends to favor one of the four basic seasonings (hot. sweet, sour, or salty) and will season to his or her own preference.

    1. Arrange tofu slices in a large shallow dish. Mix together marinade ingredients, pour over tofu, cover, and refrigerate overnight.

    2. Preheat oven to 400g. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Drain tofu and gently place slices on sheet. Spray lightly with cooking spray.

    Bake about one hour, turning occasionally, until lightly browned.

    3. While tofu is baking, prepare Cucumber Relish. In a medium pan, combine vinegar, sugar, water, cilantro stems, garlic, and salt. Bring to a boil; stir until sugar dissolves. Strain and cool.

    4. In a medium bowl, mix together cucumber, ginger, chile paste, and chopped cilantro, if desired. Pour vinegar mixture over, and let stand, uncovered, while tofu bakes. Serve tofu with relish.

    I am not Asian and I don't have a complete recipe to give you but if you marinate tofu with chopped up lemon grass (and liquid) it will acidulate the tofu making it very succulent. After it is cooked the lemon grass flavor will cook away.

    Thai Tea Recipe?

    I am trying to find a recipe for Thai Tea. I love this drink and want to know how to make it.



    Can you please give me a good recipe, and if there is any odd ingredients please let me know where to get them or what I can subsitute.



    Thanks!!Thai Tea Recipe?
    I love Thai Tea! It's so great... and it cools down my mouth after I've eating all that yummy Thai food.



    Thai red tea leaves are blended with star anise, cinnamon, and vanilla. The steeped tea then is flavored with sugar, and after being cooled is mixed with cream and often condensed milk for a refreshing creamy drink





    6 cups water

    1 cup Thai tea

    3/4 cup sugar

    6 tablespoons cream

    6 tablespoons condensed milk



    In a kettle, bring the water to a boil. Place the tea in a teapot or glass container. Pour the water over the tea and let steep until bright orange in color, 3 to 5 minutes. Strain into a clean container, such as a pitcher (or, if in tea bags, remove the bags). Add sugar and stir to dissolve. Let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

    Fill 6 tall glasses with crushed ice and add tea to 3/4 full. Add 1 tablespoon cream and 1 tablespoon condensed milk to each glass.

    Don't forget to 'froth' it too! In parts of SE Asia that I've been in, I've seen the chai-wallah guy pour the drink from one glass to the other rapidly back and forth until it gets a little frothy. And dont' skimp on the condensed milk! It's fattening, but soooo yummy.

    Black-Eyed Peas with Spinach and Coconut Curry



    Yield: 6 servings



    Ingredients:



    1陆 cups of dried black-eyed peas or 2 cans of black-eyed beans (drained and rinsed)

    4 cups water

    1 medium onion, finely chopped

    3 garlic cloves, finely chopped

    1 piece of ginger, peeled and finely chopped

    2 small green chilies, finely minced

    1 large tomato, finely chopped

    10 ozs. of fresh baby spinach leaves or 10 ozs. of frozen spinach (thawed and drained)

    salt and pepper to taste

    陆 tsp garam masala

    陆 tsp turmeric

    陆 tsp chili powder

    1 tsp ground cumin

    1 tsp ground coriander

    1 can of coconut milk (can use the light variety)

    4 tbsp oil (vegetable or canola)

    freshly chopped cilantro leaves for garnish



    Method:



    If you are using dried black-eyed peas:



    Wash them well in cold water. In a large mixing bowl, cover the black-eyed peas by at least 2 inches of water, cover the bowl and soak overnight on your countertop. When you are ready to use the black-eyed peas, place them in a pressure cooker along with their soaking liquid and use as directed. You may need to add more water if necessary. I recommend cooking the black-eyed peas in a vessel within the pressure cooker. They usually cook in 12-15 minutes (this may vary among pressure cookers) after pressure has been reached. They should be soft and creamy but not mushy.



    In a large pot on medium high heat, add the oil. Then add the onions, when they have softened, add the green chilies, ginger and garlic. Stir to combine and add the spices (salt, pepper, garam masala, turmeric, chili powder, ground coriander and the ground cumin). Stir for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is fragrant, and add the tomatoes. Add the black-eyed peas and their cooking liquid (if you used the pressure cooker method)or the canned black-eyed peas. Stir and add salt and pepper to taste. Add the coconut milk, cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 20-30 minutes. Add the fresh or frozen spinach leaves (roughly chopped). Stir and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes and check your seasonings. Make any necessary adjustments. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves and serve.

    Thai Beef Panang - Panang Nua



    Beef Panang is great with rice. I also found out that left over beef panang tastes great in a sandwich with toasted bread.



    2 Servings



    2 tablespoons sugar

    4 kaffir lime leaves, thinly sliced

    2 tablespoons fish sauce

    1 1/2 tablespoon red curry paste

    1 cup coconut milk

    1 lb beef, sliced



    Pour 1/2 of the coconut milk in a pan over medium heat. Add curry paste and break it up to mix it with coconut milk. Keep stiring to prevent bottom from sticking. Lower the heat to simmer if necessary. Simmer until red oil appears. Add the beef and stir to coat the beef with the curry paste. Add sugar, fish sauce and the rest of coconut milk. Let it simmer until the beef is tender and the liquid is reduced to a thick sauce. It should take about half an hour to an hour depending on your heat. Add water if your beef is still tough and let the liquid reduce.



    Sprinkle the sliced kaffir lime leaves on top. Serve hot



    Chicken Curry - Gang Gai



    Chicken curry is so common that you will find it at any to-go curry vendors in Thailand. Chicken curry is eaten with rice or 'kanom jeen' noodles.



    You can see chicken curry's popularity when you go to a temple in Thailand; Thai people frequently bring the classic dishes like chicken curry to feed the monks and other temple patrons.

    2-4 Servings



    3 cups water

    3-5 sprigs Thai basil

    2 tablespoons fish sauce

    1/2 lb eggplant

    1 tablespoon red curry paste

    1 cup coconut milk

    1 chicken breast



    I use Thai eggplants, the golf ball size ones. But, they can be difficult to find. Regular eggplants that you find in supermarkets are a good substitute. If you have the Thai eggplants, cut them up into quarters. If you have the regular eggplants, cut them into bite size pieces. Wash and pick the basil leaves.



    Cut up the chicken into bite size pieces. If you have this dish in Thailand, you will see that the chicken comes with bones. All parts such as legs and thighs can be used. The bones make the curry more flavorful.



    Pour half of the coconut milk into a large pot, over low to medium low heat. Add the red curry paste. Break up the paste and mix it with coconut milk. Stir constantly. Lower the heat if it splatters too much. Add chicken when you see red oil bubbling on top. Stir and coat chicken with curry sauce. Add the eggplant when chicken starts to turn white. Add the rest of the coconut milk and water and the fish sauce. Let it boil until all the eggplant pieces turn dark and tender. The longer you boil the curry, the thicker the curry becomes because the eggplant disintegrates and thickens the sauce. Add the basil leaves just before you serve and make sure the leaves are submerged quickly in the curry to preserve the color.



    Serve hot with rice or rice noodles

    Does anyone have a recipe for a Thai dessert that combines hot sweet rice pudding with ice cream and tapioca?

    It's not really a recipe, just how we make it:


    Mix hot coconut milk with tapioca, layer on hot pudding in a single-serving dessert bowl or cup, top with (vanilla) ice cream and serve.


    Or add slices of banana sauteed in a tiny bit of butter, then top with ice cream.


    Or mango slices, and top with ice cream.


    To be very fancy, stick it in a puff pastry "bowl" --not authentic Thai but more fusion, especially with a dark chocolate drizzle.
