A much-needed bowl of something to soothe. This is the holiday leftover meal from my family, along with pie (of which more later, hopefully). And it just seems like a joke to provide a recipe, but since most leftover turkey noodle soups tend to be more pasta-style I thought I’d provide this friendly suggestion. It … Continue reading
Springy egg noodles slicked with hot, savoury Chiu Chow chilli oil, topped with everything you like. Fast and satisfying. It is deeply remiss that I have been keeping this recipe from you. I suppose it’s not so much a recipe as an arrangement, a friendly suggestion, one of those things which makes people say, ‘Huh, … Continue reading
Classic comfort food perfect for any weather: silky wontons containing pork flavoured with Thai aromatic paste, springy egg noodles, rich broth, and plenty of fried garlic oil. It warms and fills without being stodgy, which is particularly good for this breezily crisp yet sunny spring weather. (You understand, of course, that stodge isn’t inherently bad, but sometimes you … Continue reading
More noodles–and the first stir-fried noodle dish on this blog! These are spicy noodles perfumed with basil, improvised by Leela at SheSimmers. Leela writes that she cooked up this dish on the fly, calling it kuay tiao phat niraman, or nameless (anonymous) fried noodles. It’s a little bit like phat kee mao and a bit like … Continue reading
A version of khanom jeen nam ya: lightly creamy, gently hot and aromatic curry sauce with chicken served over rice noodles with plenty of vegetables on the side. If you’re not familiar with khanom jeen nam ya, I’m sorry. Let’s fix that soon. You’ll want to get to know this versatile dish, particularly if you’re into noodles, … Continue reading
Kaeng jued is comfort food. I’ve written before about this type of dish, gaeng jued, a plain, clear soup that’s largely unspiced except for maybe a tiny bit of ground peppercorn (but not too much, or it might turn into a clear kuay jap). Plain isn’t necessarily boring, though–this deeply savoury broth is often filled with interesting … Continue reading
I used to think that I didn’t much like fry-ups, save for that one supremely healing one in a proper greasy spoon the morning after I was dumped in a bar (via text, the two-timer). But then I went to Rye and understood the beauty of a fry-up: if every individual component is decent quality, … Continue reading
Thai noodle soup is my favourite type of food in the entire world. I say ‘type’ as this is a category of food rather than one single dish. There are so many variations in broth, noodles, and bits and pieces floating in and amongst the aforementioned, but the kind I usually want for my first … Continue reading
It’s widely known that instant noodles are bad for you, but you won’t find me hand-wringing about it. Repeating information about its dubious nutritional value to people, with increasing faux-concern and food-piety, won’t discourage them from eating it: I can’t imagine that we eat instant noodles with the conviction that it will whack an extra … Continue reading
I’ve been neglecting my blog. I am sorry! I will try to post once a week. In the mean time, have some photos from Loy Krathong. I almost wish I had eaten more, but then I remember the limits of my stomach: Meatballs and dumplings. The round tight ones are called ‘sai krok Isaan’, a … Continue reading
