Another of my favs is Krapao Moo Sap.

 

so easy to make and the kids fight over it.  Served with boiled rice and a fried egg.

it’s in there.

 

3 tablespoons full.  I toasted a load last weekend and then had some left so I crushed it in the pestle and mortar.

 

pretty fine though and mixed in.

 

Well good for you, and now I'm jealous. Good stuff.

 

Kao pad gai kai dao was my breakfast of choice about half the time over the 5 weeks we had in Thailand... chicken fried rice with a fried egg on top.

 

It's only my breakfast a few times a month now. Shame.

Proper school dinner tonight. Tom out the country so fried lambs liver, skin on mash and peas with thick gravy!

Nice cooker, nice saucepan, looks like olive oil (which I approve of for frying). You're doing a great job, Pete. Well done.

Le Creuset pan, part of a set but, after using copper pans that have been silvered, they are better!

I'm looking at mum's red one she uses for chips right now.

 

Is silvering just what the name suggests, coating the copper in silver?

Had a set of 4 and a frying pan done a couple of years back for Caz. Expensive, but they heat up quick and thus, are easy to judge.  The cast units are good but heat retention can over cook stuff!

Mum also has that exact pyrex jug. She asked me for it back only an hour ago. It's been in the garage since I used it to mix 2 stroke a couple of weeks ago.

Thai food.

 

We probably eat Thai about 3 times a week.

 

Today’s offering was Larb Gai (Minced chicken salad with mint.)

 

Larb or Laap origination North East Thailand and is a common Issan dish.

 

The chicken is cooked in stock and Fish sauce then you add more fish sauce, chilli’s, lime juice, raw shallots, raw spring onions, fresh coriander and mint leaves.  Cooked earlier and served cold with hot rice, cucumber and long beans.

 

Aroy!
