Vegetables
If you're getting tired of the same old vegetable side dishes, give these recipes a try and bring some new flavours and textures to your table! Thai cuisine uses many vegetables in ways that are different from the common Western ways, I hope you find some inspirations here.
Here are some of my favourites to get you started:
- Garlicky Cabbage & Fish Sauce Stir Fry. This has got to be the #1 veggie dish in my household. It's got 3 ingredients, lightning fast to make (literally 3 minutes on the stove), yet it's so incredibly delicious. This is why I make it all the time, and cabbages lasts forever in the fridge, right?
- Kabocha Squash & Thai Basil Stir Fry. I love introducing people to this dish because most people don't think "stir fry" when they're looking at a winter squash. Kabocha is sweet, creamy, and takes only 5 minutes to cook. It'll become a new favourite! If you have leftover squash, use it in this red curry chicken recipe.
- Salad Rolls with Creamy Dip. Not the salad rolls from your Vietnamese takeout, these cute little bite-sized rolls are the Thai version that my mom loves getting after work for her snacks. The secret is in the creamy tangy dip that has uses a surprising ingredient!
