The black fried century eggs make this quite a stunning looking plate, but the eggs are not the main taste, the spicy chicken is. Eat this as a side dish to Thai rice, served with Thai sweet basil leaves.

The rich, unctuous texture and pronounced fruity flavor of a dry gewürztraminer from France’s Alsace region will provide a lovely contrast to these strong, spicy flavors.

I have a small confession: this recipe was invented by MacDonalds in Thailand for their Thai customers. Thailand people eat mainly rice rather than bread and a burger with a bread bun isn’t like their normal food. So MacDonalds invented the sticky rice burger, where the bun is replaced by as glutinous (sticky) rice patty. This recipe uses the same trick, if you are not familar with sticky rice, read the ingredients section of this site – you cannot use regular rice, and it must be prepared by steaming.

During Halloween, if you kill a chicken, it will rise from the dead and the chicken claws will try to take back it’s flesh from your plate. BOO! Well that’s what I tell small children anyway, we celebrate Halloween as a bit of western fun even in Thailand, this dish is chicken dumplings with fried chicken feet. You can eat it all, if it doesn’t eat you first.

I’m tempted to create another category called ‘Pies & Pasties’, since I’ve made several recently! This pastie contains beansprouts, chicken and vegetables and is a nice way to eat Thai food in a falang way.

Yes we eat chicken nuggets in Thailand it’s a very popular food, although they are a Thai version of the western snack. I made these because today is domino day in Holland, where they topple million of dominoes to make a new world record in domino toppling. I’ve made them in the shape of dominoes for the photograph and laid them out like a circle of toppled dominoes.

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.

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.
