Normally I fry the tomatoes with garlic and some chili pepper of any type . That's all. 

 

 

Show my brother in law this idea some years back though the method is slightly different in that they were cooked under a grill (broiler). With a little salt and some cracked black it really brings out the flavour and I have found it very much needed over here as the tomatoes are mostly pretty tasteless.

It wasn't my best picture for sure. It still beats anything you ate in the past month.

Yes my family used to season tomato halves with salt, black pepper and a splash of vinegar and then grill them. Perfect way to enhance the flavour of tomatoes.

Another option is to use salt, pepper, minced garlic and chopped parsley.

Yesterday I ate a lovely meal.

 

Guay manow - some very lightly cooked beef with lemon

Grilled beef

Tom sab beef

Sticky rice 

 

Was a mouth watering experience that I do at least once a week. I say I do but what I mean is WE eat. Total cost 280 baht including tip excluding petrol. That shop is my favourite; conveniently positioned where all the beef markets are.

 

Today was a bit of a naughty one. Bit of rain here so had to grab a KFC 15 succulent pcs of chicken some of which had a chilli cheese coating. Total cost excluding petrol 499 baht. Me and the better half are looking at each other with a certain "are you going to eat that last piece of chilli cheese chicken" 

 

If you like your food and you don't mind someone else cooking it. May I suggest you head to; 24 owls by sometimes who will serve up some rather good gnosh not a deckle in sight mind, but then again I'm not on my own anymore so splashing out like my life depends on it or my last days are on the horizon does not make much sense to me anymore I am happy to report. Each to their own of course. Bon appetite.

Yes. "Kettle Chips" Sea Salt and ground black pepper.. Pricey but good.

[tutsiwarrior]

further adventures at home in suphan with the stuff that I bought at foodland in BKK...

 

tried a coleslaw with my standard tahini sauce and not successful...the yogurt dressing was better...

 

been tryin' all kindsa stuff with the miso paste using the packaged thai  egg noodles that are available everywhere...soups with mushrooms, greens, chicken breast and tofu and whatever else I can find down the market (after months tutsi returns to the market with a walking stick and his almost healed broken leg: 'oh tutsi! you poor dear!...please sit here...' 'where ya been hansome?' purrs the cute tofu/bean sprout seller usually inna miniskirt but now pregnant and showing...)

 

and finally I'm left with some leftover cooked noodles and some odd bits of marinated tofu, veges and etc and then set to work wid de wok...then the stepdaughter sidles up and looks and sez: 'pad thai? eh, tutsi?...I thought you didn't like thai food...'

 

defeated again...

You philistine you. What about the twice-cooked chips? Steak & crisps????

:) I do make em occaisionally. But currently down to only a tiny gas ring in the garden so cooking with more than one pot at a time is difficult. 

I prefer to call them "game chips" rather than the more proletarian "crisps"

Kudos to you mate, it's amazing what can be cooked on a one or two ring burner.

 

I made my pork and at the same time, pate using two rings.

 

You having the kitchen done up or something?

Finally had my first Daniel Thaiger Burger, wasn't too bad I'd imagine would be much better if it arrived on time

when I got home from BKK I immediately cooked up a 500g bag of garbanzos and used half and some tahini to make hummous, divine with the homade flatbread...and then curried the rest...also good with the flatbread...

 

only got one jar of tahini  and that will be finished soon...sesame seeds and olive oil (both widely available) are all it takes to make tahini and will be trying that soon...

 

http://www.daringgourmet.com/how-to-make-homemade-tahini-paste/

 

btw, that 500g jar of tahini cost 259 baht...expensive hummous...100 baht for a 500g bag of sesame seeds down the market plus the olive oil...oh, well...

Yes. Awaiting a kitchen. Been cooking in the sala on a cheap induction hot plate and a portable gas ring for a couple of years now. The induction cooker recently had a meltdwn so only gas now. Only  a few more weeks till I get a real oven and a five zone ceramic hob though :)

Can't wait to start baking and roasting again.

very interesting...the other day I was down the market and the lady that has the dried pulses had some soy protein in a bag and at first I thought that the granules were chickpeas! and then I got over my excitement and thought hmmmm...

 

how do ye prepare the soy protein for stir frying? ye can't really throw the dried protein directly into the wok with the broccoli or can you?

 

looks like ye could stir fry the left overs with cooked noodles the next day as well...

Actually the instructions on the bag say you should soak it in cold water and boil it for a short while.
However, lately I just let it soak while preparing the rice and cutting the other ingredients, drain in a strainer and then throw it in the pan.
Works fine.

Yes, can be done with noodles as well.

A vegetarian shop at my canteen stir-fry them dry (not soaked) with pad prik pao paste and add some white sesame.
Interesting snack or side dish to something like a curry or soup.

Food, food glorious food. 

 

The thing about business trips you don't get to cook you eat out great to be back in my domain. Simple stir fry : with Chinese dishes the preparation takes the most time, these days I can whip up a few dishes in thirty minutes or so when I first set foot here it was like 'What's a wok'? lol.

 

Fresh eggplants, tomatoes, Spanish onion, red and green capsicums, the long green things are a garlic flowering chives or kau choy fah, shitake mushrooms and some shallots.

 

Marinate finely sliced beef ( I use Aussie beef as the Henan one from the PRC tastes like bark and has a texture to match) in sea salt, olive oil, Hakka wine ( or sherry if you don't have it) ground pepper, blackbean sauce and five cloves of star anise. Do the meat first, remove and set aside, throw in the vegetables and when just done add the marinade and the meat.

 

Serve with steamed rice.
