Roselle drink, know as Nam Kra-Jieb, is one of Thailand's most popular herbal drinks. It is made by boiling the dried flowers of the Roselle plant, a type of Hibiscus. The Roselle fruit turns the drink a bright red color and imparts a tart, sour flavor that is similar to cranberry.
Making perfectly crispy and golden brown fried shallots can be a challenge. So many of our Thai recipes call for fast cooking or high heat, but to make your shallots come out just right you need to keep the heat low, and fry them for at least 5 minutes.
If you like sweet and sour stir fried vegetables, then you'll love this Thai-style recipe that has just a hint of spicy to tie all the flavors together. You can use any combination of veggies that you have on hand. Just be sure to add the harder ones first and the soft ones last so that everything stays nice and crunchy. This recipe makes a nice side dish, or just serve it along side some hot steamed rice for a delicious meal.
Pad Thai is one of Thailand's most popular and well known dishes. It's made by pan frying thin flat rice noodles with a unique sweet and sour sauce flavored with tamarind, lime, sugar, and other seasonings, along with shrimp, egg, tofu, peanuts, bean sprouts, and a wide variety of other possible ingredients.
Kaeng Hunglay, or Kaeng Hung Leh, is a northern Thailand-style sour and sweet curried stew made with pork belly or other fatty pork meat that is quite different from the well known green, yellow, and red Thai curries. Kaeng Hunglay is flavored with Garam Masala, an aromatic blend of spices often used in Indian and Burmese cuisine, and doesn't contain coconut milk. The stew has the warm, sweet flavors of toasted coriander, black pepper, cumin, cardamom, and cinnamon, and a rich and hearty taste.
This simple yet delicious stir fried vegetable side dish made with Pak Boong (ผักบุ้ง; Water Morning Glory; Water Spinach) is one of Thailand's most popular foods. We think it should be on every first-time visitor's MUST TRY list, as it is difficult to find at restaurants in the west. Seasoned with soy bean paste, garlic, chilies, soy sauce, and oyster sauce, the salty-spicy-sour-and-crunchiness of Pad Pak Boong Fai Daeng is great as a side dish or all by itself.
