Pineapple Fried Rice

Rasa Malaysia — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 00:08:07 +0000

Chinese invented fried rice but I think it’s the genius of the Thais that make fried rice sinfully delicious—they concocted pineapple fried rice. With the addition of fresh pineapple, flavored with shrimp paste, fish sauce, and comes in a hollowed out pineapple, pineapple fried rice is the only fried rice I really wanted to eat. Not only does it look...

Basil Chicken (Gai Pad Krapow)

Rasa Malaysia — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 01:47:39 +0000

When I was working in Beverly Hills, there is this Thai restaurant that my colleagues and I would always go to. One of my favorite dishes was its spicy basil chicken rice plate—perfectly steamed and fluffy jasmine rice coupled with ground chicken meat infused with aromatic Thai basil leaves. It was delicious, with fine balance of fiery hot and savory....

Two years ago, about this time, Jaden was in Los Angeles. It was the second time we met in person, and she had just gotten an offer to write a cookbook from Tuttle Publishing. She was teaching a cooking class in LA and I was there to help (and also to learn from her about teaching a cooking class!). We...

Thai Curry

Rasa Malaysia — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 07:36:35 +0000

Thai curry is gaining popularity thanks to the many great Thai restaurants in the United States. Making a great bowl of Thai curry to go with soft and fluffy jasmine rice is easier than you think, even though you might not be familiar with Thai ingredients. I love all sorts of curry but I find Thai curry one of the easiest...

Clams Recipe: Hoy Lai Ped (Spicy Clams in Thai Roasted Chili Paste)

Rasa Malaysia — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 19:44:48 +0000

One early morning in January when I was home in Penang, my brother, sister, nephew, our maid and I set off to a clam-digging expedition in a little island off the coast of Penang. In less than two hours, we dug two buckets full of big, fat, and succulent fresh clams, after we got both our hands and feet wet,...

Tom Kha Gai Recipe (Thai Coconut Chicken Soup)

Rasa Malaysia — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 01:14:55 +0000

Tom Kha Gai–everyone’s favorite Thai coconut chicken soup–is one of the Thai recipes that I have always always wanted to make but never did. Why? Because there are plenty of good Thai restaurants in the US that serve pretty authentic Thai food. So, it’s no surprise that this is my virgin Tom Kha Gai–my first attempt at home. It was easier...
