Meanwhile, combine the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil while stirring. Reduce heat and simmer 2 to 3 minutes, or until thickened slightly, then remove from heat.

Prepare grill or preheat broiler. Remove chicken from marinade, and grill or broil breasts and thighs until golden brown on all sides over high heat,starting chicken skin-side down first. Then move chicken to a medium-hot part of the grill or broiler until cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes total. Serve with the Sweet and Spicy Sauce.

Comment: YOU CAN SUBSTITUTE SALT FOR FISH SAUCE AND MOLASSES FOR SOY SAUCE BUT IT'S MUCH BETTER WITH THE ORIGINAL. THESE TWO ITEMS CAN BE FOUND IN AN ORIENTAL STORE.

Thai Tapioca Pudding



* 1/2 cup tapioca pearls (Look for "Sagou" or "Manioc" at your local Asian Food Store - it will most likely be imported from Thailand)

* 2 ripe mangos (mangos are ripe when fragrant, and you can easily indent them with your thumb) OR, if you cannot find fresh mangos, use 1 can of mango pieces

* 2 1/2 cups water

* 3 Tbsp. brown sugar

* 1/4 tsp. salt

* 1 can good-quality coconut milk

* fresh tropical fruit of your choice cut up into bite-size pieces (e.g. mango, papaya, banana, kiwi, starfruit, etc...).

Hm. Most Thai recipes are majorly hot -- even the KFC joints there serve crazy hot chicken! But since you'll be throwing the meal together, I guess you can always tweak the spicy stuff.



My favorite is the BBQ Thai Chicken.



Ingredients:

Four Large chicken Leg/Thigh Pieces

One cup Sweet Dark Soy Sauce

4 TSP Powdered Ginger

2 TSP Turmeric Powder

One stalk lemon Grass, Bruised and thinly sliced



Directions:

Mix all sauce ingredients well

Pour 2/3 of mixture in sealable plastic bag with chicken,seal bag then roll around with your hands to mix sauce well into chicken

Place bag into your fridge with the covered extra sauce for four hours. (Overnight if possible)

When ready to BBQ, place chicken on your high heat grill for four or five minutes per side then turn your heat to low and cook an additional 8 to 10 minutes per side until reaching desired cooking level of doneness.

Baste each piece with the extra 1/3 cup of marinade. Do not use the sauce that was in the bag with the chicken due to possible raw/cooked contamination.

Chicken Satay



2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 teaspoon curry powder

1 teaspoon chinese 5-spice powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

salt and pepper to taste



Peanut Dipping Sauce:



1 cup peanut butter, smooth or chunky

1/4 cup sesame oil

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon each curry powder and chinese 5-spice powder

splash of coconut milk, optional



Gently heat the peanut butter in a sauce pan on low. Stir in the rest of the ingredients and simmer a few minutes on low. Stir every few minutes to keep from burning. Remove from heat and let it cool just a bit before dipping. Enjoy!



Good luck!





Slice the chicken into long strips. Thread onto bamboo skewers that have been soaked in water. Combine the curry powder, chinese 5-spice powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Rub the chicken with the spice mixture. Bake the strips (for a healthier version) on 350 F for 15-20 minutes (or until done) or grill the strips on a stove top or outdoor grill. Serve with peanut dipping sauce.
