thaigerd Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Ok, this afternoon on my way home I was thinking about our food for tonight. It must be easy, fast and very arroy mahk. So I stopped at CENTRAL and went to TOPS to get all my ingredients: -minced beef -garlic -thai holy basil -chili, the small ones -chili, medium size -mushrooms, haed nang fah(เห็ดนางฟ้า) -green beans (ถั่วลันเตา) -fish sauce -oyster sauce -si yu damm(ซีอิ้วดำ) - some corn flour First of all prepare all the ingredients, very important: Let your kitchen helper check if the beef is fresh enough!!! Fry the garlic and chili in hot oil until garlic starts to get a brown colour now add the minced beef and fry for about 3-5 minutes season with: oyster sauce, fish sauce and si yu damm sauce boil for a little while and add all the veggies at the end I add some water and thicken it up with some corn flour&water before finishing it with the cleaned basil leafes, I like it with some more sauce, Thais like it more dry. Turn off the heat now! Otherwise your veggies are getting to soft, loosing their colour and the fresh taste. At the very end take your wife/partner and make a final taste adjustment about chilis, fish sauce and the other ingredients. Now you can go and take a shower during missus (in my case) boils the rice and fries some eggs for the "topping" A nice weekend to all of you!

meadish_sweetball Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Looks wonderful . Can you tell me what this si yu damm sauce is ? I did a search for it and can find nothing . Is there another name for it ? Thanks , Mark Try with the transcription 'see-ew dum'. It is a type of dark soi sauce. People spell it as they hear it - you also see 'siew dam', 'siu-dahm', 'si-ew dum' etc. http://www.templeofthai.com/food/sauces/bl...-5132222175.php (for a picture of one of the more popular brands) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tutsiwarrior Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 superb, thaigerd...keep us posted on other dishes that can be 'whipped up' easily...(goin'up to Suphan tescos tmw)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary A Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Looks good except for too much liquid. Pad gapow is one of my favorite dishes whether with chicken, pork, beef, shrimp or squid. The fried egg goes perfect with the dish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaigerd Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 I know the "original" has less liquid, nearly nothing. But I need some more for my rice Gerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary A Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 My wife puts the Pad gapow directly on top of the rice and the perfect amount of liquid for me is when all the rice is colored and has the flavor or the topping. Normally if you get it in a restaurant the rice is white and dry. I know the "original" has less liquid, nearly nothing.But I need some more for my rice Gerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woeanl Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Fried Beef With Basil is the best as long it is not to bloody spicy... (beside tomka khai) At the end you want to have a healty mix with farang food anyway... Not every day thai & not every day farang food!!! - Looking for an apartment or condo in Bangkok?
