Chicken in Coconut Soup - Gai Tom Kha






Another amazing Thai chicken recipe to try ! Great one !

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 1/2 cup water
  • 2-3 Thai chili pepper
  • 1 lime
  • 1 piece galangal, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 2-4 sprigs cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chicken
  • 1-2 kaffir lime leaves Optional


INSTRUCTIONS
This is a dish that is not very flexible in allowing for alterations.
Crush a piece of galangal, 1 inch thick with the flat part of a cleaver or meat tenderizer (or you can be civilized and slice it). Drop the galangal, coconut milk and water, into a 2 quart pot. Let
the pot boil at medium to low heat. Reduce heat to simmer and stir frequently, otherwise the coconut milk will curdle. Add sliced chicken and fish sauce. If you have the kaffir lime leaves, remove the central stem from the leaves and add kaffir lime leaves to the soup. Let boil again and turn off the heat. In serving bowls, add crushed fresh Thai chili pepper. Watch out for the crushed chili, it will clear your sinus better than wasabi. If you do not like it hot, do not crush the peppers, just float them for decoration. Squeeze the 1/3 of a lime in each bowl. Pour the soup in bowls and add cilantro for garnish.The Thai chicken recipe is ready to serve hot....hmm...nice and tasty..the Thai style !

Ginger and Chicken Stir Fry - Gai Pud King










Try this Tahi chicken recipe..... with ginger...a unique taste of Thai chicken !
INGREDIENTS
  • 1 cup wood ear mushroom
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 onion
  • 1/3 cup ginger, julienne
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 cup chicken

INSTRUCTIONS
Some people like to add chili pepper (large chili peppers that are medium hot) to add some color and heat to the dish.
Prep:Soak the mushrooms in warm or hot water for at least 5 minutes or until you are ready to use them. The soaked mushrooms should be about a cup. A little more, a little less is OK.
Julienne the ginger to get thin, match like pieces, 1 ½ inch in length. I use about a 3 inch piece of ginger which comes out to about 1/3 cup when julienned. Some varieties of ginger are hotter
than others. You may also have to adjust the amount of ginger to your taste buds. When we were kids, my mother didn't put a whole lot of ginger in, afraid that it would be too hot.
Halve the onion lengthwise and slice lengthwise into pieces so that when cooked and separated, all pieces will look the same. Break the mushrooms into bite size pieces. You can also slice them with a knife, but I like breaking them with fingers to get irregular shapes.

Cooking: Add a tablespoon of oil to a hot work over medium to high heat. Add chopped garlic and some of the julienned ginger and fry for a minute or so. The ginger and garlic will start to turn brown. Add chicken and stir to coat the chicken with oil for a minute or so. Add onion, the rest of ginger and ear wood mushrooms. Stir to mix well. Add fish sauce and sugar. Stir for a couple minutes to cook all ingredients and let the ingredients absorb the fish sauce
and sugar. And the Tahi chicken with ginger is ready to serve hot with rice..hmm... nice taste 1

Chicken Curry - Gang Gai










Great Thai chicken recipe to try...a tasty one !
INGREDIENTS
  • 3 cups water
  • 3-5 sprigs Thai basil
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1/2 lb eggplant
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 chicken breast

INSTRUCTIONS
Regular eggplants that you find in supermarkets are a good. f you have the Thai eggplants, cut them up into quarters. If you have the regular eggplants, cut them into bite size pieces. Wash
and pick the basil leaves.Cut up the chicken into bite size pieces. If you have this dish in
Thailand, you will see that the chicken comes with bones. All parts such as legs and thighs can be used. The bones make the curry more flavorful.
Pour half of the coconut milk into a large pot, over low to medium low heat. Add the red curry paste. Break up the paste and mix it with coconut milk. Stir constantly. Lower the heat if it splatters too much. Add chicken when you see red oil bubbling on top. Stir and coat chicken with curry sauce. Add the eggplant when chicken starts to turn white. Add the rest of the coconut milk and water and the fish sauce. Let it boil until all the eggplant pieces turn dark and tender. The longer you boil the curry, the thicker the curry becomes because the eggplant disintegrates and thickens the sauce. Add the basil leaves just before you serve and make sure the
leaves are submerged quickly in the curry to preserve the color.Serve hot with rice or rice noodles. And the Thai chicken curry is ready to serve...nice and tasty !

Chicken on Rice with Hot Yellow Bean Sauce


Another great Thai chicken recipe to try....on rice with hot yellow bean sauce...unique taste !
INGREDIENTS
  • 4-5 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 jasmine rice
  • 1 pinch ground pepper
  • 7 cloves garlic
  • cucumber
  • 10 sprigs cilantro
  • 1 chicken breast
  • 2 cups winter melon, cut
INSTRUCTIONS
Remove bone and skin from the chicken. You can remove the bone and skin later. But the chicken will be easier to slice when the cooked. Add the bone, skin and breast to 4-5 cups of water on high heat. If you have extra bones, skin and fat, add them for extra flavor. Leave the lid off for a clear soup. Add garlic to the soup. Also, add cilantro roots or leaves, salt and pepper. When water starts to boil, turn heat down to let the broth simmer. Remove the chicken breast when cooked.Cook rice with the chicken broth. The ratio of rice to water is one to one. Add some of the garlic cloves along with the broth. If your broth is very lean, you may want to add a tablespoon of oil. After all, kow mun gai means rice cooked in chicken's fat. If you are cooking the rice in a rice cooker, you know what to do; just add rice and chicken broth. If you are cooking rice in a regular pot, when the water boils, turn down the heat to the lowest heat available on your stove. Close the lid and let it cook until tender. It should take about 15 minutes or so.

If you decided to add winter melon, remove the hard skin and cut the melon into big chunks, 2 inches by 3 inches. Drop the melon in the broth. Let it simmer until tender. You can also keep it
simmering for a long time.
To serve, put rice on a plate and top with sliced chicken. Add sliced cucumber. Sprinkle cilantro on top of chicken and soup. Serve with hot yellow bean sauce in a small bowl and a separate
bowl of soup. And this amazing Thai chicken on rice is ready for feasts! Enjoy it !
