Thai beef with sweet basil and roasted rice
I have a bumper crop of Thai sweet basil at the moment. Every summer I grow quite of lot of this favourite herb from cuttings. I bought a pack of basil, trimmed and put the stems in water, covered the leaves with perforated clear plastic bag and put in a cool light area. Change the water and clean the stems every few days to remove any decays. In about 10 - 14 days the cuttings would have long

Mango salad
I bought some green mango hoping to make Malaysian mango sambal, but found out it has already gone semi ripen with a slight sweetness but still hard. Not sour enough to make sambal so decided to make Thai mango salad.I don't mind shredding the mango because I have a much loved gadget i.e. this Japanese mandoline I had for over 10 years. Shredding vegetable is child play.Thai style mango salad is

Pandan Chicken
Pandan leaves are not just excellent for S E Asian sweet cakes and puddings, it is also great for some savoury recipes like this popular pandan chicken. It is quite easy, the method of wrapping with the leaf is up to you as long as you can secure a piece of the leaf round the chicken to give it the unique flavour. Great as starter or serve with a meal.For the marinate I have 3 recipes, one

Nue Num Tok– Thai beef salad with roasted rice
I think another name for this dish is called Waterfall beef. This beef salad is probably my very first taste of Thai food with Tom Yam Kung many many years ago when I went to Thailand on holiday, and I have been hooked on Thai food ever since. It is similar to Laab Nuea except for the roasted ground rice.The ground rice is essential to give that extra nutty flavour. Here is how I make this
