Regional Cuisines of Asia - Thailand

Laurie went next with more Thai cuisine. She was very prepared, showing some interesting slides of life in Thailand, including a video of a street vendor making some type of a sweet dessert, and demonstrating some delicious dishes that were quite different from mine. She began with a Spicy Jasmine Rice. Stirred frying the chilies, garlic, ginger and shallots together before putting it all together in the steamer.
Next she made a Thai Cucumber Salad. A nice refreshing salad to counteract the heat from the other dishes. She sauteed up some Thai style eggplant that was delicious then grilled a pork kebab that had been marinating overnight in some lemongrass, fish sauce, chilies, coconut milk and some other various ingredients. We were served a wonderful little sampling.
Great job Laurie.




Chef took over and made a coconut and chicken soup and some ribbon noodles with a rad-na sauce.
We prepared another assortment of dishes which included a delicious Thai Seafood Salad (above). Once again the neighbors joined us for lunch. Classes are eating well at PCI this week.
Goodnight
