Simple and easy to spice up your boring day!

     I made this as a traditional taste but serve like fusion ^___^ All ingredients are easy to find except fish sauce for somebody, haha anyway I wish you’ll try this someday.

     In traditional way we serve pork on cabbage and top with sauce, Chinese kale stem as a side. Eat as an starter or appetizer. I’m not drink but I don’t know why people like to eat this with beer or maybe this is a great dish for it LOL

     You can use other meat which you like, shrimp beef squid are scallop are so great with this sauce. Depend on what kind of meat on sale that time can save your money as much. ^____^

Kha = galangal

Gai = chicken

   Yes! Kha is the main ingredient of this menu. And again Galangal's flavor is absolutely different from ginger root, do not use it to substitute Galangal ;)

Kaffir lime leave, Oyster mushroom, Galangal root

Thai chili, Coconut milk, lemongrass and cilantro

Thai steamed sea bass (sour and spicy style)

     I met a lot of foreigner in Thailand who have stayed here for long time, so I ask them "What is your favorite Thai food?" everyone answer me that they love Steamed sea bass! the best of the best, healthy delicious and good combination between fish and sauce :)
     If you think that Pad Thai is very popular in Thailand. Yes, it is! but is doesn't the best dish. If you came here and find out more about Thai food. You will found something more interesting than Pad Thai! Like steamed sea bass :)

     Sea bass, Umm..actually we serve this dish with the head on but merchant took it out :'( anyway if you buy whole fish from market you should prepare it, take shell and gut off then wash and clean it. The easiest way to do this is buy the fillet one LOL. I like the whole fish because we'll get sweet juice from bones.

     Chopped garlic, if you think it too strong for you, you can thinly slice it instead :)
     Thai red chili, Thai people like spicy thing so I add it around 10-12 chili for this dish. If you don't like spicy you can skip it or replace this with red sweet chili for the color :)

Chinese celery, if you can't fine this in your market, I think you can substitute this with thin slice regular celery. It's not big deal to skip it :)



You will need : ( 1 serving for 1-2 persons)

• 300 g. sea bass or any fish you like
• 2+1/2 tbs. lime juice
• 1+1/2 tbs. fish sauce (or salt if you prefer)
• 2 ts. sugar
• 8 cloves chopped garlic
• 10 Thai red chili ( as much as you like)

          If you a big fan of green curry, I'm surely that you will love this dish too ;) Same ingredient as Green curry fried rice but in this recipe we add one more thing which is coconut milk to make sauce. Alright hope you enjoy this recipe and my video :)

I use Chaokoh brand for the coconut milk, this package is 250 ml. but use just 200 ml. However if you like a lot of water in your sauce add it all and add more seasoning in it.

Red chili, It doesn't spicy but it give a really good color into my dish. Remove seed and membrane first then cut into stripe like that >>>

Baby corn, I buy fresh baby from nearby market if you can't find fresh one just use the frozen instead. *You can also add another vegetables you like such as carrot, beans, etc.

Thai eggplant, cut stem off and thinly slice it, soak in water to prevent from getting brown.

Tom yum kung (Thai sour and spicy shrimp soup)

          Kung, Koong, Goong or what ever :) means Shrimp - - - Tom yum has many style to make, it's up to how style you like, some add tomatoes some add dried chili. So today I'll show you how to make condensed soup style. 

          Left picture is evaporated milk that I've been use in Stir fried crab in curry powder. I add it in soup, anyway if you can't find that milk you can also add whole milk, or cream but less than my measure :) In Thailand this milk very popular, we use in bakery as a milk substitute because milk is more expensive and this will give better texture (maybe) for cake and other dessert. In almost cake for commercial use this milk for sure. I hope you can find this in your nearby store :)
          If you do like clear soup, just skip the milk and follow all step in my video.

          Right picture is a galangal ro somebody known it as a Thai ginger. The color and flavor are exactly difference :) You can't use ginger to substitute galangal < Seriously! :D and again I hope you can find this in your nearby, asian or online market :'(

You will need : 1-2 serving
*I sort ingredients by step I add :) I hope this will help.
