Sometimes, you just feel like comfort food and for me that can be any number of dishes – goulash, chili, pasta bolognese, drunken noodles, and this dish. I love the simplicity – the preparation is where you spend most of your time and let’s face it, cutting up some vegetables and meat isn’t difficult work. The S&B curry cubes also make this dish easy and intensely flavorful. You can choose from Mild to Extra Hot to suit your tastes. I add extra vegetables into mine because why not? Veggies are good for you! Paired with a simple white jasmine rice and you have a plate full of delicious comfort. And in these crazy times, who doesn’t need that?! Save Print…
Here we are, officially remanded to our homes, and quickly finding that eating the same thing is not very fun. It is also a bit of a challenge when running to the grocery store is like a running a gauntlet of coronavirus carrying zombies searching for toilet paper. So here is my take on a simple chicken curry using mostly pantry and basic ingredients. I bought some Thai basil to make Thai Basil Fried Rice and thought this dish would be perfect for the remaining basil. This dish comes together quickly and is full of flavor, perfect for elevating a weeknight dinner after being sequestered on home arrest during this pandemic.

Well my new job has keep me quite busy and out of the kitchen, but this week I had a chance to work on a few new recipes – and here are the results from one of them. Swimming Angel is a popular Thai restaurant dish with steamed spinach, white rice, and a stir fried protein (and maybe some vegetables), covered in a spicy, yet sweet peanut sauce. There is a reason why this dish is popular, it is wonderfully delicious when done well. I think the key aspect of this dish is the sauce – slightly spicy, slightly sweet, slightly nutty, and silky smooth. I researched this sauce once in the past and this simple recipe produces the results I desire. The ingredients are just coconut cream…
This recipe comes from several sources which I have combined to make this one. I wanted to try something new yet familiar that would be easy to prepare yet extremely flavorful. The added beauty of this dish is that it can be made with chicken instead of prawns, served with rice or rice noodles, made with any vegetables you want or have on hand, and the spiciness can be adjusted to suit your tastes. It is easy to see the Thai influence in this dish and I think this recipe honors that great culinary style while using readily available ingredients. I will admit that I struggled to name this dish so I opted for a general description rather than something with a bit more flair. Although under any…
Tonight’s post is a simple and delicious side dish since I noticed I seem to post few side dish recipes. This recipe is versatile as it can be augmented to make it a main dish with the addition of a protein like chicken or seafood. It is also extensible in that you can add other vegetables like carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, and/or green beans. And you can ‘dress it up’ with fresh herbs as a garnish – like cilantro or scallions. I made the basic form of this recipe since it was late and I was hungry. Hey, it beats running out to the nearest burger or teriyaki joint (not that there is anything wrong with that from time to time!). Anyway, I hope…
Do you ever get a hankering for a certain flavor or dish? Tonight, I really wanted a robust yellow curry but did not feel like going out. So… I made it for myself. I increased the variety of vegetables and flavors with two types of peppers, pickled galangal and ginger, and sambal. I paired it with jasmine rice, but I bet it would work just as well with thin rice noodles. The results were delicious, if I say so myself. This dish really satisfied my ‘hankering’ for yellow curry. I can’t wait until I get that hankering again! Save Print Yellow Curry Chicken Prep time: 15 mins Cook time: 20 mins Total time: 35 mins Serves: 1 Ingredients…
As part of the planning, I knew I would have Thai basil, ginger, and cilantro left over from the Drunken Noodles meal, so it was time for me to make one of my favorite dishes – fried rice. Fried rice is one of the ultimate dishes in that you can make it so many different ways with whatever ingredients you have on hand. But tonight, it is not just any fried rice, but yellow curry fried rice. I have had several different variations of this dish at restaurants; some with pineapple, some without, some with Thai basil, some without, etc. Tonight I am making the version without pineapple just because I have so many vegetables planned. Again, the key to this dish is prior preparation. I find my…
