Spicy Garlic Lime Pork “Moo Manao”

This dish is called “lime pork”, but really it’s more like tender pork sliced drenched in a spicy garlic lime dressing…served with fresh crunchy vegetables and topped with mint leaves. This recipe is healthy, easy and oh, so delicious! It has all the iconic flavours of Thai food: spicy, sour, sweet, and salty, but with […]

Green Curry Spring Rolls

Great things happen when you combine two of the most popular Thai dishes into one! Green curry spring rolls are exactly what it sounds like: crispy spring rolls filled with that familiar flavour of Thai green curry we all love. It’s a great two-bite party appetizer that’s unique, and you can also wrap them in […]

Spicy Omelette Salad ลาบไข่เจียว

An egg salad like you’ve never seen before! This omelette salad or “laab kai jiew” is something we made at home one day because we didn’t have any meat ready, but eggs are always something we have in the fridge, so we tried something different and it turned out to be delicious! Laab is a […]

“Sai Ua” Northern Thai Sausage ไส้อั่ว

An iconic dish of Northern Thailand, “sai ua” is one of the most flavourful sausages I can think of. The pork is mixed with an aromatic curry paste, grilled, then served with sticky rice and fresh veggies. Yum! Making sausages doesn’t have to be a lot of work, though. Once you make the mixture, if […]

Crispy Garlic Chive Dumplings (Guichai Tod) กุยช่ายทอด

Don’t let the amount of vegetables in this popular street food throw you off. I didn’t love vegetables as a kid and I would devour these every time. Garlic chives become so tender they almost melt in your mouth, and with the soft & chewy dough that is crispy on the outside…and the sweet & […]

Chili Garlic Tofu Bites เต้าหู้ผัดพริกเกลือ

These addictive little munchies are my newest obsession! Think the satisfaction of potato chips crossed with soft silky tofu…crossed once more time with fried garlic, with a kick of chilies. Worth every effort. Perfect vegetarian appetizer for any party! DIM SUM VLOG: The original inspiration for this recipe http://buff.ly/2tLUyIT INGREDIENTS 300g medium-firm tofu or smooth […]

Thai Fish Cakes (Tod Mun Pla) ทอดมันปลา

A classic recipe, these red-curry-flavoured fish cakes can be found everywhere in Thailand! The preparations are really simple, the hardest part is getting the right fish. Go with something super tender and you’ll be fine. I’m using basa and it worked out great. The dipping sauce is similar to the “sweet chili sauce” that you […]

Salad Rolls w/ Spicy Garlicky Creamy Dip

If you think you know salad rolls, think again! These gorgeous bite-sized salad rolls have become popular in Bangkok in the recent years, and it’s something my mom always brought home for me during my most recent trip home. The star of this dish is the dipping sauce: creamy, garlicky, spicy, tart…this is the […]

Panzanella Salad with Donair Meatballs

This is a special recipe I received from Kelly Neil, a food photographer/blogger from Halifax, Nova Scotia as part of the Rethink Beef Recipe Swap challenge that I talked about in my “Thai Bolognese” or Rice Noodles with Curried Meat Sauce video! I traded recipes with Kelly and she sent me this rather interesting fusion […]

Mackerel Fried Rice “Salad” ข้าวคลุกปลาทู

We’re once again cooking with ingredients from mom’s backyard! During my trip to Thailand, I had this dish at a small restaurant in Bangkok and just fell in love with its rustic simplicity. Ingredients used are no more than the very basic staples of any Thai home kitchen, and the flavours are light, fresh, and […]

“Miang Kham” Betel Leaf Wrap เมี่ยงคำ

Hello from my mom’s garden in Thailand! I waited all year to come home and make miang kham, which is potentially the most unique tasting dish I’ve made so far on the show! There really isn’t anything quite like it. You make a little cup with the betel leaf, fill it with all sorts of […]

Dusty Chicken! Toasted Rice Crusted Chicken

This is such an addictive appetizer! Tender, juicy fried chicken tossed in the “dust” which is toasted rice and Thai herbs ground up into this magical powder! If you’ve had laab before, you know how much toasted rice powder can transform a dish, now imagine it around fried chicken! Served with a classic “jeaw” dipping […]

Crispy Chicken & Cheese Purses Recipe ถุงทองไก่ชีส

These crispy chicken cheese “purses” are the perfect appetizer for your next dinner party! Spring roll wrappers are easy to find and even easier to use, and they fry up to be shatteringly crispy and beautifully golden. The filling is tender chicken scented by citrusy coriander seeds, with a hidden surprise of creamy tangy cheese! […]

Chipa – Hot Chewy Cheese Puffs!

This recipe is courtesy of Natalia Machado, my lovely Argentinian co-host on the TV show One World Kitchen! This is the recipe for a traditional Argentinian cheese bread that Natalia serves at her restaurant as a gluten-free option for the bread basket. They’re amazingly cheesy and addictive! Think hot, chewy, cheesy mochi with a […]

Son-in-Law Eggs ไข่ลูกเขย (kai look keuy)

This is one of the most popular dishes for kids in Thailand, and it was definitely my favourite! I’m not really sure why it’s called “son-in-law eggs” even though there are lots of theories, but whatever the reason, it’s a delicious and unique dish that you must try at least once in your life! […]

Spicy Salmon Salad (Laab Salmon) ลาบปลาแซลมอน

Every time I had salmon sashimi, I’d always think to myself, “This would be SO good if I laab it!” So finally I tried out my culinary dream, and it’s even better than I thought it would be! Spicy, herbaceous, fresh, light, healthy, gluten-free, not to mention it is a show stopper when you bring […]
