Tom Kha Salmon

Tue, 18 Nov 2008 22:59:34 +0100

This is my take on Tom Kha Gai or Chicken Galangal Soup. It was actually based on my craving for bouillabaisse. I chose salmon because even if it's overused in Thai cuisine, not many places do it right. It always come over cooked.

I also wanted a soup that…

Banana Fritters with Nutella Sauce

Sat, 15 Nov 2008 17:55:12 +0100

I used Lady's Fingernail's Bananas for this recipe but feel free to use any kind of banana you like. Just make sure they are about 80%-90% ripe. Or the bananas will be soft and mushy after being fried.

1. Start by making the Nutella sauce first.…

Spicy Shrimp and Torch Ginger Salad

Tue, 11 Nov 2008 04:08:11 +0100

Torch ginger is a common ingredient in Southeast Asian cooking. It is commonly included in a rice salad from Southern Thailand. Here, I am using it to make a simple shrimp salad that is every bit just as good.

If you can't get torch ginger, use Japanese

Sugared Taro

Also known as Snow Taro in Thailand. I adapted this recipe based on a tip from a Thai cooking show. Visit my site for full story.

1. Wash and peel taro (wear gloves, please! Taro sap can cause hands to itch like crazy.) Cut them into 1x1 cm thick…

Fried Stuffed Olives

Sat, 31 Mar 2007 09:57:23 +0100

This is my take on the Olive Ascolana. The recipe for the stuffing varies. Mine is inspired from whatever I had in the fridge :-) The only tricky part is pitting the olives by cutting them in a spiral, much like peeling an apple. (This alone warrants it to be…
