Beed Salad

Thai Beef Salad

Published by

Let’s talk a light lunch. Let’s make it simple but delectable. My easy Thai beef salad recipe is a balance of juicy and savory. We begin with a good cut of steak. I used 2 cuts of NY strip steak. Season it with some black pepper and soy sauce, about 2 tbs. Let it marinade for about 30 minutes. In a large salad mixing bowl, mix together 2 tbs of fish sauce, the juice of 2 to 3 limes, 1 tsp of sugar, 1 tsp of pepper flakes. Also add in 2 to 3 tbs of roasted rice powder. This is optional but highly recommended. The roasted rice powder adds extra texture and crunch to your salad. You can find this at the seasoning aisle at any Asian market. You’re done with the dressing. Taste and add more lime juice or sugar to your preference. I like mine extra sour. For the steak, pre-heat your oven to 450 degrees. Turn your stove on the highest temp and warm an oven proof pan. You want your pan …

Easy coconut cake

Very Easy Thai Coconut Cake

Published by

Let me tell you about my love story with a Thai Coconut Cake. There is a little hole-in-the-wall Thai restaurant in Atlanta called Little Bangkok. My husband David and I have dined there for years. The owner happens to be one of my friends’ aunt. David and I love their chicken coconut soup, the curry duck, the pad thai, etc. The food is delicious so we rarely save room for dessert. One afternoon, I took my friend Rachelle there for her birthday. We ordered the Thai Coconut c=Cake to celebrate the occasion. She and I were planning to share a piece, but I think I ate it all before birthday girl could get to it. The cake was so moist that it basically dissolves in your mouth. The whipped topping was light and airy. The cake itself felt velvety and fluffy, with just a light hint of sweetness. It was truly addicting. In fact, I went back and ordered the entire cake. I’ve been back a few more times to order this little piece of heaven. …

Thai Dinner ft. Coconut Chicken Soup, Beef Larb, and Pineapple Chicken Fried Rice

Published by

I had a few good friends over for dinner. It so happen, one of my good friends love, no, she’s obsessed, with pineapples. We have tried pineapple fried rice in many different restaurants, but she was always disappointed that it did not come in an actual pineapple, as most restaurant ads suggest. So, to surprise her, I carved out a pineapple to serve my fried rice in. She was impressed. She even kept the pineapple “bowl.” For appetizer, I made beef larb and coconut chicken soup. Recipes for all three items are below. Enjoy! BEEF LARB I have made this dish before using chicken. Here is the recipe once again, using ground beef. 1 lb of ground beef 1/2 thinly sliced red onion 2 small stalks of green onions, chopped A handful of  fresh mint leaves (approximate 1/2 cup), roughly chopped 1/2 cup of cilantro, roughly chopped (avoid using the stems) 3 to 4 red Thai chiles, thinly sliced 3 tablespoon of roasted rice powder 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice Lettuce, cabbage or shrimp chips for …

Thai Chicken Wings

Thai food – the hot, exotic cuisine of South East Asia. Thai food are oftens prepared with very strong, wakes-your-palate ingredients. While most Thai recipes tend to sway on the simplicity side, there is a complex harmonization and layers of flavors, a real treat for the taste senses. For this recipe, I seared chicken wings, then baked it in the oven at 400 degrees for a healthier alternative to the popular fried wings. Then, I dressed the wings in a creamy peanut butter, coconut milk and Thai hot chili sauce. The result was amazing. RECIPE 3 pounds chicken wings 3 tbs of melted coconut oil or vegetable oil 1/2 cup canned coconut milk 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter, I prefer Reese’s brand 1 cup thai chili sauce 2 tbs fish sauce 1 tbs Sriracha, plus more if you prefer spicy wings 2 tbs lime juice or 1 tbs rice vinegar 2 tbs grated ginger 1 lbs finely chopped shallots 2 tbs sugar 1 tbs chopped lemon grass, fresh or frozen and thawed 1.
