Peek Gai Todd Thai Style (Fried Chicken Wings)

Since Golf has started her own Thai food blog I don’t get the benefit of her writing here anymore (fortunately I still get the benefit of eating her cooking), so I haven’t had any new Thai recipes to share in quite a while. So I thought maybe I would bring back and oldie and a goodie. Everyone loves fried chicken and this Thai take on fried chicken is awesome. So if you’ve seen it before maybe you want to try it again and if you missed it before then here is your chance to add a great recipe to your arsenal.

Last time you’re already known the recipe for boil rice and this time I’m going to show you the recipe for everyone in your family. One of my favorite dish and it’s going to be one of your family favorite dish too. We call “Peek Gai todd” in Thai.

Peek Kai Todd

Peek Gai = chicken wing
Todd = fry

(2 servings)

  • 10 chicken wings
  • 1/3 cup coarsely chopped garlic
  • 1/3 cup Thai Rice Flour
  • 3 tbsps Thai fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp coriander root, chopped finely
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • * 1/2 tsp Thai seasoning powder (Rod dee) – you may skip *
  • 4-5 cups cooking oil, for deep-frying

Cut the wings into halves and put in the big bowl. Pound coriander roots, garlic and pepper finely to obtain a smooth paste, add into the bowl with wings. Follow with rice flour, fish sauce, seasoning powder and mix well. Marinate the wings with all ingredients for 1/2 day or over night in the refrigerator (I usually let it sits for over night because it will get a great taste).
When you’re ready to fry please take the wings out from the refrigerator and let them sit in the room temperature for about 10 minutes. Heat the oil over medium heat until hot, deep-fry the wings until brown and cooked through (8-10 minutes). Remove from the oil and drain. Serve with rice or boil rice.

Everything in this recipe not that difficult to find and really easy to prepare, but just the only thing that I couldn’t find in here or either from Thai grocery’s online is Thai seasoning powder. You can try to find it in an ethnic grocery store such as Thai, Vietnamese or Chinese, but if you can’t find it then it’s ok to skip it.

Please drop me a comment if you try this recipe…I would be glad to share. :-)

And before I leave, next Wednesday I will present how to the make the spicy dish “Neua Naam Tok” or spicy grilled beef. If you love spicy food you won’t want to miss it…

Delicious Thai Spring Rolls

Last Friday at my work they had Appreciation day for all staff, that’s because they wanted everyone get to know each other more. By the way, they let everyone bring your own favourite dish for share with others and also the kitchen at work will make hamburger and hot dog for us.

I asked Steve what should I make because I have no idea what I want to cook for them, especially for American people because they don’t like spicy food, well not as spicy as Thai. He told me why won’t you make Spring rolls Golf, because not spicy at all and also good for the snack too. I said it was a good idea, but still make me worried on that time “what going to happened if they don’t like it”. Anyway let see…

Usually I work 2nd shift so I have free time on the 6th to prepare the ingredients, wrap the rolls and let them sit over night in the refrigerator. And on the 7th just need to fry and take them to work with me. Hmm…sounds like a plan, so I started to think what I need and how many rolls should I make…

Here’s the recipe for Thai Spring Rolls
1. 200 grams minced pork or chicken (I usually use them both half:half because it makes the rolls more flavourful)
2. 100 grams crabmeat
3. 100 grams Mung bean noodles soaked in the water for 15 minutes
until soft, drain and cut into about 2-3 inches
4. 3 eggs
5. 1 1/2 cups shredded cabbage
6. 1 1/2 cups shredded carrot
7. 1/2 cup shredded Shiitake mushroom
8. 1 tbsp ground black pepper
9. 2 tbsp light soy sauce
10. 1 tbsp chopped garlic
11. Spring rolls wrapper 1 pack(25 sheets)
12. Cooking oil for deep-frying depending on the size of your container that you use to fry (just make sure the oil cover the rolls while you’re frying)
13. The thick batter for seal the wrapper is made from wheat flour and water. Stir over low heat until the batter becomes thick.

After everything was prepared now it’s time to start… first mix well the pork, chicken, crabmeat, Mung bean noodles, eggs, cabbage, carrot, mushrooms, black pepper and light soy sauce together. And then saute chopped garlic in 3 tbsp of oil until golden and fragrant, add the mixture. Stir until it becomes fairy dry, remove and wait until it cools down.

Spread a wrapper on a flat surface, place 2 Tbs of the filling in the center, fold both sides of the sheet to cover the filling and roll tightly, seal the wrapper with the thick batter.
Preheat the oil over medium-low heat until hot. Deep fry Spring rolls until crispy and golden brown (on this time it will start to float). Remove and drain on absorbent paper. Serve hot with Spring rolls sauce.

Unfortunately I have no time for finish everything in one day, that’s why I have to fry them in the next day but for you can just fry them right away after you wrapped them all. And also I have to fry the rolls about 30 minutes before work so can you imagine that? Yes…It’s not as good and crunchy as when you just finish.

Still when I get to my work I couldn’t believe my Spring rolls all gone…just like that. My friends, my boss and people at work they like them a lot. And you know what? Yesterday one of my friend at work ordered 20 Spring rolls from me again. Wow…! Unbelievable…

Authentic Pad Thai (Phad Thai)

Pad Thai is probably the most well known of all Thai foods. It is a mixture of noodles, meats and seasonings and is unlike any other noodle dish I have had. You can find it on almost any street in Bangkok and it’s very cheap to boot, usually costing about 20-25 baht per serving. It’s also fun just to watch the ladies make the Pad Thai, especially those in the Khao San Road area where everything seems to become a show.

Pad Thai is typically not made at home by Thai’s, but is rather a snack to be had when out shopping or running errands. This is Golf’s recipe taken from her experience living in Bangkok and brought to our American kitchen. I can attest that it is very similar to Pad Thai that I have had in Bangkok and the islands. Eat this right after making it as it does not seem to reheat well at all, the noodles become very dried out (though still delicious). I hope everyone that tries this enjoys it as much as I do and I hope even more that you get to have the real thing from a street vendor in Thailand some day.

Pad Thai (serves 2)
2 cups thin rice noodles, soaked for 5 minutes
1/4 cup (about 1 ounce) pork minced
5-6 med. shrimp, shelled and de-veined
1 egg
1 cup (4 ounces) bean sprouts
3 spring onions, chopped
1/2 TBS chopped shallot
1/2 TBS chopped garlic
1 1/2 TBS chopped salted Chinese radish (if can find)
1 tbsp (or more to taste) thai chilli powder
1/4 cup ground peanut (unsalted)
2 TBS sugar
1 1/2 TBS fish sauce
2 TBS tamarind juice or vinegar
2 TBS water
4 TBS cooking oil

1. Fry shallot and garlic in 2 TBS of oil over medium heat until fragrant (about 2 minutes).
2. Add noodles and water, stir until tender. Add sugar, fish sauce and tamarind juice to season. Stir everything together, then push the noodles to the side of the wok.
3. Add 1 TBS of oil to the same wok, add pork, prawns, salted Chinese radish, and chili powder. Saute until the pork and prawns are done, add noodles together and mix well, then push everything back to the side of the wok again.
4. Put the last 2 tbsp of oil into the wok, break the egg in and stir until done. Add noodle mixture to the egg and mix well, then add the bean sprouts and spring onion.
5. Stir until everything is done.
4. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle peanuts on top. Serve immediately.

Let us know what you think and if you have questions please feel free to ask away, I’ll pass them along to Golf.

Golf’s New Thai Food Blog

I want to take a moment today to introduce Golf’s new Thai food blog – Awesome Thai Food. You may have seen some of her recipes posted here on Thailand Musings before and some of them have been very well received. Now that she is off work for the summer we both thought it was time for her to head off on her own with her awesome Thai recipes and so the new blog has been born.

You’ll notice there isn’t much content yet, but don’t let that discourage you. Golf has been working very diligently researching, writing recipes down and most importantly (from my perspective) cooking! Some very delicious dishes have been made over the past few weeks and all will be shared.

In addition to simple recipes there are great photos detailing the process of making each dish from beginning to end. And if that’s not enough, Golf will be adding not only recipes, but will be teaching about all the great local Thai ingredients from fruits and vegetables to herbs and spices.

So please, take a minute to head over to Awesome Thai Food and leave a comment there for Golf (she loves hearing from her readers) and subscribe to her feed so you won’t miss a single great recipe. We’re looking forward to seeing you there!

Pakistani Chicken Kebab

The weekend after Thanksgiving I had a chance to visit my girlfriend in New York. She was married to a Pakistani guy who lives in the state for over decades. She taught me a couple easy recipes while I was there and now I think it’s time for me to share this gift with you all. I know this has nothing to do with Thai food, but actually you can have this dish beside other Thai dish or in a special occasion. Believe me… Steve and I tried and we are addicted to it!

Chicken Kabab

1 lb Ground chicken
1 Ginger root, peeled and thinly sliced into 3-4 pieces
4-5 cloves Garlic, peeled
6 fresh green chilies (unfortunately all the chilies I had already turned red so that was what I used, but it was fine)
Shredded cheese (can be cheddar cheese but I used the American cheese instead)
¼ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. Turmeric powder
½ tsp. Masala powder (you probably can add a little bit more up to 1 tsp. or more to taste because it will get more smell like Kebab, which was what I did)
½ tsp. corn starch
2-3 stems coriander, finely chopped
1 tbsp. Vegetable oil to fry

  1. Pound garlic and ginger until it is fine. Add chilies and pound until fine-grained.
  2. Put ground chicken into the mixing bowl. Add mixed garlic ginger and chilies paste, shredded cheese, salt, turmeric, masala, and chopped coriander into the bowl.
  3. Mix all ingredients well. Add corn starch and mix well again.
  4. Heat the oil in the pan over medium heat (just enough oil so the kebab won’t stick to the pan).
  5. Make kebab into the round shape size 2 inches width and 1-1.5cm thick. Fry until it turns brown on each side (should not take longer than 8-10 minutes totally).
  6. Serve with vegetables like cucumber, cabbage or fresh chilies.

I hope you enjoy it like we did…I will see you again!

Learn to Cook Thai Food at the Blue Elephant Cooking School

Bangkok is home to several cooking schools and if cooking is one of your hobbies or loves then it will be well worth it for you to check out one or more of the cooking schools. One of the top programs is the Blue Elephant Cooking School. One great benefit of taking a class with them is that they will pick you up and drop you back off at your hotel.

 

Thai Dinner

Located in the heart of Bangkok, opposite the Surasak Sky train station, the Blue Elephant Cooking School is housed in a stunning century old mansion where you will discover and experience the culinary wonders of Royal Thai Cuisine.

It takes just under four hours for the Blue Elephant Cooking School chefs to have you cooking like a pro. The restaurant has morning and afternoon cooking classes during which you will be taught to produce a four-course meal.

There are staff members on hand to avert disasters, and everyone graduates with a Blue Elephant certificate, souvenir apron and box of herbs to help demonstrate your new skills back home.

Itinerary

  • You will be welcomed with a fresh Thai herbal drink and discuss with the chef the 4 course meal that will be prepared by you during the class.
  • You, along with other members of the cooking group, will take a ride by Sky Train (Saphan Taksin) to the Bang Rak morning market. There is no market visit for the afternoon session.
  • The instructor will advise and guide you in discovering and selecting Thai fruits and vegetables and the multicoloured spices!
  • Then it is time to take a ride back to the Cooking School on the Sky Train.
  • Arrive at the Cooking School where a refreshing drink and towel is waiting for you.
  • You then move to the theory class, when the instructor will present a cookery demonstration of the dishes that you will have to prepare!
  • Each student will receive a booklet with the recipes of the day.
  • It is now time to roll up your sleeves and lay your hands onto the cooking utensils at the Practice Room.
  • Each student has his own table and wok. Assisted by the instructor you will learn and experience the culinary technique of Thai cuisine.
  • You will have to prepare four dishes.
  • Now you can taste and enjoy your own culinary creation in a friendly Thai setting at the Blue Elephant Restaurant.
  • The class will be followed by a meal in our delightful restaurant sampling your own cooking as well as additional Thai dishes.

Fortunately for me I am married to Golf and her Thai cooking is superb. If you love Thai food like I do then it is definitely worth your time to check out a cooking school like the Blue Elephant next time you’re in Bangkok. It’s something that will stay with you for the rest of your life.

Som Tum or Som Tam (Thai Papaya Salad)

Som Tum or Som Tam according to Thai dictionary means a kind of Thai food salad made from fruits such as payaya etc. pounded and combined with ingredients, sour taste and for some locality calls “Tum Som”.

Som = orange or to have sour taste
Tum/Tam = to pound

Som Tum Issan

Som Tum is a highly popular food for Thai people especially in northeastern Thailand (Issan). Som Tum is a Thai common central language but for Issan people they call Tam Buk Hoong because Buk hoong is the Lao/Issan word for papaya. Som Tum from Issan people have so many varieties because they will use so many kinds of vegetables or fruits for making Som Tum like papaya, yard-long beans, raw banana, banana blossom, star gooseberry, cucumber, pineapple, tamarind etc. Besides there are so much variety in Som Tum itself too like I’m going to give you some idea about them now.

Som Tum Thai – not add salted crab (Bpoo kem/Bpoo Dong) or pickled fish but add dried shrimp and roasted peanut instead. The taste will be more sweet and sour. Some people like to put salted crab into too so we call Som Tum Thai Sai Bpoo.

Som Tum Bpoo – add salted crab instead of dried shrimp and roasted peanut, get a little salty taste from salted crab.

Som Tum bpla-ra – add pickled fish instead of dried shrimp, very popular in Issan area.

Tam Sua – add Thai fermented rice vermicelli instead of papaya, this one also quite popular in Issan.

Som Tum Lao – add Thai olive

Other than that at the present some place also add another material like roast neck pork, horse crab or pickled mussel.

Som Tum is also just like the second main dish from sticky rice for Issan people, can eat every time and every meal. The one of common civilization of Issan people is if they’re making Som Tum they will call the neighborhood for joying. They have the word that say eat alone not so tasty like jointly with others.

In Thailand we will be able to find this Thai dish really easily because it is a very simply food and you can get it anywhere, either from restaurant or even vendor shop beside the street. It is held that Som Tum is the favourite food for everyone.

Traditionally Thai people will have Som Tum with sticky rice as a meal accompanied with vegetables and also roasted chicken (Gai Yang).

Som Tum is one of my favourite dish while I was in Thailand too. I don’t know why I didn’t crave for this dish so much while I’m here though. Maybe because I couldn’t find any place in here that they can make a good Som Tum just like when I got from Thailand. Or either I have to make it myself but you know every time I will end up disappointing myself…because I couldn’t make it so tasty like what I used to get in my motherland. It’s the right recipe, but just something not right or missing I don’t know why …maybe just not the same atmosphere I think. Anyway Richard and everyone I apologize if sometime in the future you will get to try the original Som Tum in Thailand that will have a better taste than my Som Tum recipe.

Som Tam Thai

Som Tum Thai recipe (2 serving)
- 1/2 cup raw papaya, peeled and shredded
- 1/2 cup carrot, peeled and shredded
*or can use 1 whole cup of papaya but this one will get more varities and the color*
- 2 tbsp dried shrimp, soaked in water and drain
- 3 yard-long beans, cut into 1 inch length
- 1 medium sized tomato, quartered
- 4 cloves garlic
- 5-6 Thai hot chilies (Phrik Khee Nuu)
- 1 tbsp roasted peanut
- 3 tbsp palm sugar
- 3 tbsp Thai fish sauce
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp tamarind juice

Pound the chilies with garlic thoroughly in a mortar, follow with dried shrimp and pound again just for softly. Add yard-long beans, papaya, carrot into the mortar. Pound to be crushed.

Add tomato and roasted peanut, and use a pestle and a spoon help to mixed up together in the mortar.

Season to taste with palm sugar, Thai fish sauce, lime juice and tamarind juice into the mixture, stir well. This step you can try and see if anything you want to add more…some like more sweet, some like more sour.

And finally you will get Som Tum Thai serve with sticky rice (if you have) or can have like a snack with fresh vegetables like Chinese cabbage, cabbage, yard-long beans. Or some people will have it with roasted chicken and cool beer depending on your suitability.

Recipe for Thai Beef Salad

I got to know a Thai girl who has lived here for 5 years. She invited us to her house which is 15 minutes away from our place. She cooked 3 dishes of Thai food for our lunch on that day. They’re fresh spring rolls (for an appetizer), Som Tum and also Thai beef Salad. We really enjoyed them and had a great time with her family.

Especially Thai Beef salad made me think about Thailand a lot. And surprise myself too that I didn’t think about this recipe at all until I got a chance to try from her place. It might be because of every time when I make grilled beef I will think about Neua Naam Tok only and didn’t realize that grilled beef can also make Thai beef salad too.

Thai Beef Salad

The recipe of Thai beef Salad is almost exactly the same as Neua Naam Tok. So if you’re the one who is crazy about Neua naam Tok just like us I’m pretty sure you will love Thai beef salad also.

Thai Beef Salad recipe
- 200 grams beef top round
- 7-10 Fresh Thai Chili (Phrik Khee Nuu) depending on how hot do you want…
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup coriander, coarsely sliced
- 1 tbsp spring onion, coarsely sliced
- 1 sweet onion, cut into wedge
- 1 medium sized tomato, sliced
- 3 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tbsp Thai Fish Sauce
- 1/4 tsp sugar
fresh vegetables : lettuce, cabbage

Wash the beef and grill over medium heat until medium rare. Slice into bite-sized pieces and transfer to a mixing bowl. Pound finely Thai hot chilies and garlic and add them in the mixing bowel. Follow with sweet onion, tomato, coriander and spring onion.

Season to taste with Thai fish sauce, lime juice and sugar, toss well to combine. Arrange on a serving dish. Garnish with lettuce and cabbage and then serve.

Alright I hope you’re enjoy with Thai Beef salad and like I said take it easy with spicy taste. And will see you sometime this week with the recipe for Som Tum…make a reply for Richard who asked for this recipe. So Richard I will get back to you as soon as I can…see you!

5 Thai Recipes Hotter Than Global Warming

Thai food is known around the world as spicy beyond compare. My wife Golf has been kind enough to add to Thailand Musings by sharing her wonderful authentic Thai recipes with us and as a small thanks I am doing a Thai recipe roundup for her tonight. But not just any Thai recipe roundup, no these are the top 5 recipes rated in terms of hotness. I guarantee they will have you running for the water pitcher (unless of course you’re Thai).

The five recipes below are arranged from spiciest to most mild, but even the mild recipe will be spicy for most people. Recipes can be altered to some extent to make them more or less spicy by changing the amount of chili’s you add, but you run the risk of compromising the authentic Thai flavor.

Give them all a try and then come back to let us know what you thought. I know for me I was hardly able to eat Laab Gai 18 months ago and now I beg her to make it. Spicy food may be an acquired taste, but I think once you acquire that taste it becomes almost an addiction.

So, here they are without further ado…the top 5 Thai recipes hotter than global warming from Thailand Musings. I am not responsible for any pain you may experience through trying these recipes.

Laab Gai (Thai Spicy Chopped Chicken) – Thai’s have many variations of Laab, this one is made with chicken and is not for the faint of heart. Make sure you serve with plenty of rice and water.

Neua Naam Tok (Thai Spicy Grilled Beef) – One of my first and still favorite spicy Thai dishes this will knock you’re socks off. I love the combination of shallots and lemongrass with the chili and smoky flavor of the barbequed beef.

Naam Prik Ong (Thai Tomato Chili Sauce) – This is not meant to be eaten by itself, but should be served with white rice (preferably jasmine) and fresh vegetables such as cucumber or long beans.

Lon Dtao Jieow (Coconut Soup with Fermented Soybeans) – For those that like coconut (like me) this soup is great. Just be careful – if you breathe in while sipping this soup the chili aroma hits your lungs like a whiff of fire. Coughing is guaranteed to follow.

Khao Man Gai (Thai Steamed Rice with Chicken) – This recipes comes last as the most mild of the spicy dishes and if you make it as written it is pretty mild with just a slight kick. Of course you can always add more chili’s to kick it up a notch!

Thai Chili’s – This is not a recipe, but rather a short guide to Thai chili’s. Knowing a bit about what you’re eating sometimes enhances the eating experience.

Khao Man Gai – Thai Rice Steamed with Chicken

Because I’ve been working like crazy and now finally I’ve just have time for myself to post the Thai recipe now.

Khao Man Gai is one of the favourite dish for Thai people and when you’re there you can get this dish like 25-30 baht from many street vendors. When I was there I have 2 favourite Khao Man Gai places that sell awesome Khao Man Gai. Both of them are mostly like a vendor shop nearby the street. So if you’re not a Thai residence probably you won’t find them unless somebody tell you or take you there.

One was close to the apartment (in Rama IV Rd.) where I used to live while I worked at BNH. This one they open quite early in the morning and usually by 9-10 o’clock will be all gone. So if I wanted it I have to make sure I get up early enough. Another one is in Thanon Dinso (close to Sao Ching Cha) where I had my English class. This one I found unexpectedly but for the food is just like a top-flight restaurant.

They boil the chicken themselves, the chicken gets really tender and they also make a wonderful sauce. Everytime I was there I will order extra sauce. And for the sauce will cost like 5 baht for each small tiny bowl. Unfortunately in here I couldn’t find any Khao Man Gai even Thai restaurant in my town. That’s why I have to try and make Khao Man Gai myself in case I was craving it again! I think I did a pretty good job and if you follow my recipe you can have Khao Man Gai just like in Thailand.

Khao Man Gai

Khao Man Gai Recipe ( 2 servings)
- 2 pieces chicken breast or thigh
- 1 1/2 cups Thai Jasmine Rice
- 3 crushed coriander roots
- 2 coriander roots
- 1 coriander plant, leave only
- 3 cloves crushed or pound garlic
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 4 cups of water
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 2 sping onion, finely sliced
- 1 slice of mature ginger (pound lightly)
- 1 tbsp mushroom flavored soy sauce

Khao Man Gai’s Sauce
- 4 tbsp fermented soybean
- 6 tbsp mushroom flavored soy sauce
- 4 tbsp vinegar
- 2 tbsp fresh hot chili (Prik khee nuu)
- 6 tbsp sugar
- 4 tbsp peeled garlic, finely chopped
- 4 tbsp mature ginger, finely chopped
- 2 coriander roots

- Wash chicken, wait until dry and sprinkle with salt all over.

- Place the chicken in a pot, add 4 cups of water, 3 crushed coriander roots, cook over medium heat. Wait until water starts to boil then add the ice cube 4-5 cubes(add everytime when the water starts to boil and all together will take about 30 minutes or so until the chicken done and cook thoroughly). And please make sure to skim off any broth to get the clear broth.

- When the chicken cooked well, take them out from the broth and paint the skin with vegetable oil (for protect from dry skin). De-bone and cut into thin slices. Strain the broth and set aside.

- Now we’re going to make rice. Wash the rice with water before cooking, rinse about 2-3 times, drain and set aside. Heat the oil in a wok over medium heat. Saute garlic until fragrant and turns golden brown. Add the rice, 2 coriander roots, ground black pepper, stirring well and cook for 3 minutes. Transfer the rice to an electric rice cooker, pour 2 1/4 cup of chicken broth over the rice, add one piece pound lightly slice of ginger and cook until the rice is done.

- While waiting for the rice we can start making the sauce for Kao Mun Gai. Put all ingredients for the sauce except fermented soybean in the blending machine. Blend until everything is mixed thoroughly then stop, add fermented soybean and start blending again about 5 second. Serve with the chicken rice. This sauce has a combination taste of a little bit salty, sour and also sweet. And you can keep in the refrigerator about a month if you can’t eat it all at once meal.

- Normally I serve this dish with a chicken broth too. So you can just heat the broth until it starts to boil again. Add 1 tbsp mushroom flavored soy sauce and add finely sliced sping onion.

- Spoon the rice onto a serving dish, arrange the chicken slices at the side or on the top, garnish with coriander leave. Serve with the sauce, chicken broth and sliced cucumbers.

Alright I hope you enjoy with Khao Man Gai style Golf. Please let me know what you think about it by put some comment for this and will see you next time with Yum Neua – Thai Beef Salad.

Take care…
