Thai Chicken Potato Soup ชุปไก่มันฝรั่ง

This dish was a regular in our household growing up, particularly because it was my brother Eddy’s favourite! It’s a very comforting soup that may not sound particularly Thai, but my theory is that it started out as Thai people’s attempt to make a Western-style dish using ingredients that are available to us, and because […]

Fish Sauce Wings – 3 Ingredients Only!

These fish sauce wings have 3 ingredients…yet they are some of the most addictive, munchy wings ever! This is a classic Thai appetizer, popular especially when people have a cold beer in their hands! Salty, crispy, and so satisfying. Typically they are deep fried, but I have found that shallow-frying works just as well. Give […]

Sour fruits are no longer a bummer, but an opportunity to dip them in this sweet, salt, umami dipping sauce! In Thailand, we make this simple dipping sauce specifically for tart green mangoes, but it also works well with any tart, firm fruit you might have. Green apples, underripe strawberries, dry tart pineapple…you name it! […]

Cauliflower Stir-Fry with Yellow Curry ดอกกะหล่ำผัดแกงกะหรี่

This flavour-packed recipe is delicious as vegetable side dish, but it’s also robust enough to be a vegetarian entree! Cauliflower is seared to develop a more intense flavour, then stir-fried a curry paste that is the most perfect flavour match with this healthy vegetable. Tart tomatoes offer pops of brightness…it’s really a stunning dish […]

Easy Sweet Potato Doughnuts ขนมไข่เต่า ไข่นกกระทา

This popular street food is also the easiest doughnut recipe ever! (Or more like doughnut holes?) No yeast, no kneading, no proofing, yet they still have that yummy chewiness and airiness we all love in doughnuts. Sweet potato makes up the majority of the dough, so not only does that make it flavourful, it’s even […]

Coconut Milk BBQ Chicken (Gai Golae) ไก่กอและ

Marinated, double basted, and triple grilled: that is the secret to the unbelievable yumminess of this chicken. I grew up on this style of BBQ chicken because it’s a specialty of Southern Thailand, and while I always thought it was an incredible flavour, I never knew how the chicken gets its iconic salty-sweet, coconut-ty, […]

Steamed Fish w/ Ginger & “Thai Miso” ปลานึ่งเต้าเจี้ยว

“Tao Jiew” is the Thai version of miso. It’s fermented soybean paste that is salty with a touch of acidity, and it goes incredibly well with fish! We also add loads of ginger which is a flavour match made in heaven with fish as well. I’m using black cod here, also known as sablefish, as […]

Instant Ramen Noodle Stir-Fry – Pad Mama

“Mama” is Thailand’s favourite brand of instant noodles, and we love it so much we use it in all sorts of recipes. In this video I show you how to elevate the humble pack of instant noodles into something more sophisticated, and definitely healthier and yummier than just boiling it in hot water! These Mama […]

Rainbow Rice Salad – Kao Yum – ข้าวยำ

Kao Yum, or Khao Yum, is a specialty of Southern Thai cuisine that has become popular in Bangkok in recent years because of the healthy, clean eating trend! This dish is similar to the Malay nasi kerabu, and in fact, many Southern Thai dishes have Malay roots. In this video I also show you how […]

“Swimming Rama” is a dish that is becoming hard to find in Thailand, but is still served in many Thai restaurants overseas.
