Customer Rating:
Summary: I Own this book and I am a Thai cook !
Comment: This cookbook is okay for its nice pictures but is not one of
the best. It doesn't tell the real recipies--missing some ingredients in some recipies. I wish the owner of the Thai restaurant would give away the real recipies since he has been making lots of money from his business ( already! ).
I was diappointed to buy this book but I enjoyed looking at all the pictures in it. This book might be helpful for some beginners out there though.
the facts--
Most Thai restaurants don't wash the veggies because they're afraid they can't keep the veggies for long time.
They usually use MSG and usually tell their customers NO MSG added :)
They use fish sauce and oyster sauce and tell those vegans NO fish sauce NO oyster sauce. ( Impossible: All ready to cook sauces )
Some restaurants use Chicken broth instead of using MSG and will tell you NO MSG added. ( they use MSG anyway because is far cheaper!! )
Some of them hire illegal workers and they love to hide paying real taxes.
Do you think they change the cooking oil as often as they should have???? ( Usually....NO!! ) ( FOR DEEP-FRIED FOOD !! )
Peanuts,crushed peanut,dried chillies.....could cause Cancer because they don't know how to keep them right and they might keep them for too long. Some cooks left the lids open and never close them.....then the moister gets into those ingredients and cause ALFATOXIN!!!
Do you want to make peanut sauce????
One can of Mae-Ploy ( the best ) coconut milk
One pinch of salt
Half tablespoon of Red curry paste
Half tablespoon of Massaman curry paste
3-4 tablespoons of sugar or palm sugar
( depends on how sweet you like )
2 tablespoons of tammarind juice ( Por kwan brand )
Peanut butter ummm about less than 18 oz. you can try to put half of 18 oz. and stir it. If it's not thick enough then add a little more.
you should stir fried Massaman curry paste with red curry paste with a little veggie oil, then add coconut milk, and then the rest of the ingredients. Add peanut butter the last.
This is my home recipie which is different than my restaurant recipies.
FOR EASY STIR FRIED FOR ONE DISH....
1/2 tablespoon of oyster sauce
1/3 teaspoon of sugar
1/2 teaspoon of soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon Thai thin soy sauce ( SE EW KhaW )
1/4 teaspoon of ground pepper
some crushed garlic
1/2 teaspoon of chicken broth POWDER Knors
1 TEBLESPOON OF WATER
tHAI ice tea.....Thai tea ($2.99 a pack) and lots of sugar
yes you have to filter it too!!! Add half and half too.
Enjoy eating Thai food......it's good for you but you should learn to cook it at home ( you know for sure that it's clean and fresh!! )
