Thai Lettuce Wraps
SERVES: 4 as an appetizer, 2 as the main course
1 head fresh iceberg lettuce (this type works best for this recipe)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 thumb-size piece galangal (or ginger), grated
1 red chilli, de-seeded and finely sliced (omit altogether if you prefer very mild wraps)
2 shallots, sliced finely
1/2 cup firm tofu, cut into "matchsticks" OR 1/2 cup cooked chicken or pork, shredded, OR 1/2 cup cooked baby shrimp
1 carrot, grated or cut into thin strips
4-5 shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 egg (omit if vegan)
1/2 cup shredded cabbage (red is very good, but any type will work)
3 spring onions, sliced lengthwise into matchstick-like pieces
approx. 2 cups bean sprouts
2 Tbsp. lime juice
2 Tbsp. regular soy sauce
2 Tbsp. fish sauce (if vegetarian, use vegetarian fish sauce)
1 Tbsp. oyster sauce (if vegetarian, use vegetarian oyster sauce)
TOPPING:
1 cup fresh basil, roughly chopped if leaves are large
1/2 cup fresh dry roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
OTHER: 2 Tbsp. oil for stir-frying
Preparation:
Place oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic, galangal (or ginger), chilli, and shallots. Stir-fry one minute, or until fragrant. Stir-frying tip: add a Tbsp. water whenever the wok/pan gets too dry instead of more oil.
Add tofu (or meat/shrimp), carrot, shiitake mushrooms, cabbage, and spring onions. As you stir-fry, add the lime juice, soy sauce, fish sauce, and oyster sauce. Stir-fry about 1 minute.
Push ingredients to the side of the wok or pan, and crack in the egg. Stir-fry the egg quickly, breaking the yolk. Mix in with the other ingredients.
Add the bean sprouts and stir-fry briefly (to mix). Remove from heat and do a taste test for salt, adding 1 Tbsp more fish sauce if not salty enough.
Cut off the stem part of the iceburg lettuce so it's easier to separate the leaves. Now place the lettuce, the sir-fried filling, and the toppings on your table, allowing family or guests to make their own wraps.
To assemble wraps, take a whole lettuce leaf and place 1-2 heaping tablespoons of filling in the center. Top with a sprinkling of fresh basil and peanuts. Then wrap it up and eat. (For those who like it extra spicy, Thai chilli sauce can be added as another topping.)
Easy Thai "Weeping Tiger" Beef
SERVES 2-4
2-3 good-quality sirloin steaks (I used organic bison steaks)
MARINADE:
3 Tbsp. fish sauce (available in tall bottles at Asian/Chinese food stores)
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp. ground coriander
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
SAUCE:
6 Tbsp. fish sauce
5 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. sugar
1-2 dried bird's eye chilies, ground, OR 1-2 tsp. dried chili flakes
1/4 cup finely chopped tomato
handful of fresh coriander leaves and stems, chopped
Preparation:
Stir marinade ingredients together and pour over the steaks. Turn the steaks several times to ensure they are covered with the marinade. Place in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
While steak is marinating, make the accompanying sauce. Place all sauce ingredients together in a bowl and stir. Taste-test for a balance of spicy, sour, and sweet. Add more fish sauce if you'd like it saltier, or more sugar if too sour for your taste. Set aside.
Preheat oven to "broil" setting ("high" if you have a choice between high and low). Place oven rack on the second-to-highest rung.
Take steak out of the refrigerator and place either on a broiling pan, or on a regular baking sheet (I used a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper).
Broil steak approximately 3-5 minutes, then turn and boil another 3-5 minutes on the other side, depending on thickness. For this recipe, the steak should still be pink in the middle. The same goes if you are grilling instead of broiling.
Remove steak from oven and slice as thinly as you can. Place on a plate together with the accompanying sauce and a little fresh coriander sprinkled over. ENJOY
Thai Fried Banana Dessert
Start with some ripe bananas and frozen spring-roll wrappers (the small ones are preferred).
Allow wrappers to thaw for 5-10 minutes, then open packet and carefully separate 5-10 wrappers
(or as many as you wish to make).
Peel the same number of bananas.
Place a banana in the center of a wrapper.
Grasp either side of wrapper and bring toward the center
Bring sides of wrapper inward, then pull up bottom
After bringing in the sides, begin to roll by tucking the bottom end of wrapper over banana.
Tuck end under and continue to roll
Finish rolling banana and secure end with water
Roll until banana is completely wrapped. Secure by dipping fingers in a little water and wetting the end to "seal" (like an envelope).
Carefully place wrapped bananas into about 1 inch heated cooking oil. The oil is hot enough when bubbles begin to rise from the bottom of pan. Or test by dipping end of wrapped banana in the oil - if it sizzles and begins to fry, it is ready. Note: do not
