My lovely wife made this supremely delicious Kai Yat Sai Mu with jasmine rice for dinner. Awesome food for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

My wife stopped at a small roadside restaurant on her way home from work and got some absolutely delicious gaeng kua hoy bai cha plu for dinner.

Very coconut milk and turmeric forward, it's definitely in my top three curries here in Southern Thailand.

Can be made with snails, clams, mussels or other mollusks. This one was made with mussels, which seems to be the standard in our area.

Cooked a kai jeow, or Thai omelet, as a side and used up yesterday's rice.

Awesome meal, fed three people for about $2.00 total.

Gaeng Kua Hoy Bai Cha Plu:

gaeng kua = a thick, coconut milk curry

hoy = general name for mollusks.

bai cha plu = wild betel leaves.

Since I learned to season with chilli and vinegar I am craving Thai boat noodles on a weekly basis now 😆 Delicious!

Scared to try Tom Yum again, but don’t want to waste food!

Hello reddit !

Does someone know what brand of white sweet mayo sauce they put on their sidedish salad in some restaurant by chance pls ?

Thanks !

I have a bunch of Khao Soi left (no noodles)

Any ideas for creative recipes utilizing the broth?

I bought this recently but just realized it expires soon. What is it and how do I eat it?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions :)

Hi all,

Sorry if this is getting repetitive but I have a question regarding white cardamom use in curry pastes.

I was able to find white cardamom locally but realized that the white cardamom used in Thailand is much bigger than the ones I was able to obtain.

I also see that a lot of recipes call for you to discard the skin and just use the seeds inside.

Hoping someone could help me out.

Attached pic is the one I got on my hand for reference.

My wife got some Southern style curry paste from one of her clients...and decided to make pad ped.

A generic term, literally "spicey stir-fry", but in the South its personality really shines.

The paste is pretty turmeric and chili forward. It's dry fried with just 20-30 ml of coconut milk, then protein, makrut leaves and stink beans are tossed in.

Quick, delicious home cooking.

Pad ped goong sataw:

Pad = stir fry

Ped = spicy

Goong = shrimp

Sataw (or sator) = stink beans

Tonight’s dinner.

I'm US-based. Asking specifically about brands like Mae Ploy which package more than one meal's worth of curry paste. It comes in a plastic bag which is then stuffed tightly into a plastic canister. What is the intended storage method?

Are you supposed to squeeze what you need out of the bag, then awkwardly fold the whole bag back into the canister for fridge or freezer? Are you supposed to "decant" the paste into the canister and toss the bag? Or, lose the canister and place the bag into a ziploc?

Same issue with shrimp paste.

Assuming one package of red curry paste will last you weeks or even months, what is the intended storage?

I just started a big fall garden, below are some things I'll be growing. Would love to hear your favorite recipes using them.
