This is actually macaroni in a spicy Thai chilli sauce and is commonly available in many restaurants in Bangkok. I think the English name Picant Pasta fits it a lot better though – the sweet & spicy chilli sauce is the main flavour.

This is a side dish that’s cheap and simple, it uses hot dog sausages together with green spring onions and chilli to spice it up. In Thailand dishes like this are called “gop-gam”, snacks served with beer at night, but it can also be served with rice to make a full meal.

You’ve seen the sweet version of Kanom Tokyo before. There is also this savoury version in Thailand, which is a very simple dish of hotdog sausages wrapped in pancakes and served with sweet chilli sauce. After yesterdays complicated picnic box, I thought I do something a little simpler today.

This is how we often eat hotdogs in our house. Rather than boil them in water and eat them in bread, we deep fry them and eat them with rice and spicy chilli sauce. Recipes don’t come any simpler than this.

Friday is normally pizza day in our house, but these are Thai pizzas, a modern mix of western and Thai recipes. A Thai flavoured pizza typically has no tomato in it, and only a little cheese, what it does have is plenty of Thai ingredients. This one is green chicken curry pizza, using Thai green curry paste to add some spice to the topping.

Yes the title is correct! Thailand has influences from other countries and although not very common, we do have pizza! This is my own special recipe for Thai pizza. The main part of the pizza is Kaprow Kai – you can see this recipe elsewhere on this site, it is a spicy chicken mince and as a result the pizza is very unusual, with no tomato and a very different flavour. Use a mild cheese like gouda or cheddar so as not to smother the flavour of the mince.

A yellow curry using a premade curry paste. You can make the curry paste yourself if you wish, I will include a recipe for it in future, however it involves a lot of pounding in a Thai mortar and we usually use the ready made paste when in Thailand.

Green Chicken Curry it a favored dish from Central Thailand, and visitors to Thailand love it because it not too spicy and easy on the palet. A good meal for an evening dinner, here it is cooked with chicken legs but you can use chicken breast instead if preferred. I recommend corn fed chicken, it has much more flavour and a softer texture. There are lots of herbs & spices in the sauce, in old times these would be prepared by hand, luckily today thats not necessary, your local Asian supermarket stocks green curry sauce all ready to use. Note, you can eat the herbs too.
Originally from central Thailand, this is low to medium hot.
