4. Pad
Thai (Noodle dish of Thailand)
| Main course
material: |
8 ounces Chantaboon rice noodles. These should be
soaked at room temperature
for an hour or more depending on how soft you prefer the
noodles. It may take
some experimentation to determine your preference. |
| Spices: |
5-6 cloves garlic, finely chopped.
2 tablespoons chopped shallots (or small red or purple
onions)
1/4 cup dried or 1/2 fresh cooked shrimp
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup regular sugar (or crushed palm sugar but it doesn't make
much difference).
2 teaspoons tamarind concentrate mixed with 5 teaspoons
water (this makes
tamarind juice)
1 medium egg, beaten
1/4 cup chopped chives
1/2 cup roasted peanuts, coarsely broken up in a stone mortar or
pestle.
1 cup bean sprouts
1/2 cup tofu that has been diced (1/2" cubes), marinated in
dark sweet soy.
"Firm" tofu works best. |
| Equipment: |
PowerFlamer Outdoor Stir Fry Stoves |
| Preparation: |
|
| Cook: |
- Heat a little cooking oil in a wok and add the garlic and
shallots, and briefly stir fry until they just shows signs
of changing color.
- At this point one option is to add chicken meat and cook a
bit longer, if you prefer chicken pad Thai.
- Add the remaining ingredients except the egg and the bean
sprouts, and
stir fry until the noodles soften (about 5 minutes).
- As you stir the noodles, periodically throw in 1-2
tablespoons of water, and after 2-3 minutes add 1 tablespoon
of rinsed, salted radish (optional). Continuing to stir with
one hand, slowly "drizzle" in the beaten egg to
form a fine ribbon of cooked egg (if you don't feel
confident with this make an egg crepe separately, and then
roll it up and slice it into quarter inch wide pieces, which
you add to the mix at this point).
- At this point, a very tasty but optional addition is
a small handful of dried shrimps.
- Add the bean sprouts and cook for no more than another 30
seconds.
- Remove from the pan to a serving platter.
- Garnish.
- Mix a tablespoon of lime juice with a tablespoon of
tamarind juice and a
tablespoon of fish sauce, and use this to marinade half a
cup of uncooked bean sprouts, half a cup of chopped chives,
and half a cup of very coarsely ground roasted
peanuts.
- Sprinkle this mixture on the cooked pad Thai. Cut several
limes into segments and also slice up some cucumber into
rounds then halve the
rounds. Put the lime segments and cuke segments around the
serving platter.
- Pad Thai is served as above. You may add Thai chili
powder, sugar and crushed peanuts at the table.

12. Tom
Kha Kai (Spicy Chicken Soup)
| Main course
material: |
16 fluid ounces soup broth (chicken stock) or
water |
| Spices: |
- 2 kaffir lime leaves, rolled to crack them to release the
flavour, but otherwise intact
- 2 inch piece lemon grass, bruised to release flavor
- 1 in cube galangal ("kha")
sliced thinly.
- 4 tablespoon fish sauce (or to taste)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (or to taste)
- 4 oz chicken breast cut into smallish bite sized
pieces
- 5 fluid ounces coconut milk
- ? small red chilies, slightly crushed. Note the
number of red chilies is a personal choice. It can be as few
as half a chili per diner, to as many as 8-10 per diner, but
the dish should retain a balance of flavors and not be
overwhelmed by the chilies. Personally I would suggest about
8-12 chilies for this recipe.
- coriander (cilantro) leaves to garnish.
|
| Equipment: |
PowerFlamer Outdoor Stir Fry Stoves |
| Preparation: |
|
| Cook: |
- Heat the stock, add the lime leaves, lemon grass,
galangal, fish sauce, and lime juice.
- Stir thoroughly, bring to a boil, add the chicken and
coconut milk, bring back to the boil, lower the heat to keep
it simmering and cook for about 2 minutes (until the chicken
is cooked through).
- Not really intended to be eaten as a separate course, you
could serve it with just a serving of steamed white
(jasmine) rice, or together with a Thai meal.
|
| Cautions: |
This quantity serves 4 with other food, but is
probably only enough for two if eaten separately. |
| Effect: |
This is a mild but spicy chicken soup (it can also
be made with shrimp, pork, beef or mushrooms). |

| Cautions: |
Quantities: I generally use approx. 1 bunch of
coriander, 3 stalks of lemon grass and 3cm of ginger (all
roughly chopped) to one pint of coconut
milk. Approx 1 Tsp each of fish sauce, tandoori paste and mango
chutney, and a dash of sesame oil. Two or three chicken fillets
and a couple of mangoes. This, served with crusty bread, serves
three comfortably. These are very approximate ingredients, I
never really measure anything, and I adjust to taste as I'm
going. You can thin the soup
out with water, if you like. |

The first time I asked my Belgian hubby :
"What food do you prefer? He said without hesitation :
"Chinese food!" ... Bringing him around to a variety
of restaurants in Malaysia, I soon found out that any Asian food
for him was 'Chinese food'. Some education was needed here for
sure .... One of his many favourites is Thai 'Tom
Yam
Soup'. The one I post now is a clear, fresh-tasting soup with
none of the oily instant Tom
Yam
paste gunk floating on top. If you don't like fat and you love a
soup to be ready 'on the spot', this recipe is ideal! Meanwhile
my hubby is fully educated about 'Asian food' : When today I ask

15. Pepper
and Sweet Basil Seafood Soup
| Main course
material: |
- 1 Litre chicken stock
- 150 g prawn, deveined
- 100 g fish fillet (firm, white), 1" slices
|
| Spices: |
- 1/2 onion, sliced
- 1 tsp kapi (shrimp paste)
- 1/2 tsp white pepper (roast peppercorns lightly before
crushing to give a nutty flavour).
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup sweet basil
or Thai basil
(maenglak) or lemon basil
- 1/2 cup pumpkin, diced
- 1/2 cup carrot, diced
- 1/2 cup zucchini, diced
|
| Equipment: |
PowerFlamer Outdoor Stir Fry Stoves |
| Preparation: |
|
| Cook: |
1.
Bring a little of the chicken stock to boil and add the deveined
prawns. Simmer for about 30 seconds.
2.
Blend white pepper, fish sauce and salt, then add prawns with
little chicken stock and blend together.
3.
Add the blended mixture to the rest of the chicken stock and
boil lightly for about 5 minutes.
4.
Filter through a fine sieve.
5.
Add the fish, basil,
and vegetables to the filtered soup
stock and boil lightly for about 5 minutes.
6.
Add herbs when ready. |
| Cautions: |
The chicken stock should be a light, Thai
style chicken stock made with chicken and ginger. The European
style stock made with onions, carrots, celery, etc. is a bit
heavy for this dish. Try playing around with the herbs for
different tastes. Try adding 1 tsp of red or green peppercorns
for colour effect. |

| Preparation: |
Chicken
Broth
Bring 6 quarts water to boil in a large stockpot. Add chicken
bones and chicken
halves and boil vigorously 3 minutes. Reduce to simmer. Skim
surface to remove any foam and fat. Char ginger and onion. (Tip:
To char the ginger and onions, hold directly over flame of gas
burner. If you have an electric stove, dry roast in a skillet.
Quarter the onions
before charring.) Rinse vegetables and add to broth. Add fish
sauce and sugar. (Smell will be pungent at first, but will subside.)
Put anise, cloves, and peppercorns in dampened spice bag or wrap in
damp cheesecloth and tie with string and add to broth. Simmer,
skimming as necessary, until chicken
is cooked, about 40 minutes. Remove chicken
and set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove meat, slice into
bite-size strips, and set aside. Return bones to pot. Add
water as needed to bring to 5 quarts liquid. Add salt. Remove
onions and spice bag from broth and discard. Simmer slowly until
rich flavors develop in broth, about 2 hours. |
| Cook: |
Noodles and Assembly
Bring large pot of water to boil. Place handful of fresh noodles
(enough for 1 serving) in sieve and lower into boiling water. Using
fork or chopsticks, stir 15 seconds, then lift and shake off water. Transfer
to large heated bowl. Repeat for 5 more bowls. (Note: If
using dried noodles, soak in water to cover 20 minutes. Cool all at
once until al dente, 2 to 3 minutes. Rinse well in warm water, then
divide among heated bowls.) Place a few slices of reserved chicken
on noodles in each bowl. Bring Chicken
Broth to rolling boil and ladle 3 cups broth onto each serving. Sprinkle 1

| Effect: |
The chicken
version of pho is
easier and faster to prepare than the beef version. To make it even
quicker, leave out the chicken
bones and replace half of the water with canned low-sodium chicken
broth. If you do, taste the broth for saltiness before adding the
fish sauce and salt and reduce the amounts if you need to. For the chicken
bones called for in this recipe,
buy chicken backs
and remove any fat clinging to the bones before cooking them.
