Gaeng Khilek Nuea (06-19)
Since I found fresh but already boiled cassod tree leaves in the Asian grocery store, I prepared a “Gaeng Khilek” (แกงขี้เหล็ก) with beef this morning for my lunch break. I discovered that these leaves are much more bitter than those in the jar.

Salad and Omelet (06-16)
For dinner today, I prepared a “Yam Moo Ob” (ยำหมูอบ) with fried pork loin. As a side dish, there was also an omelet stuffed with pork and pineapple. I prepared this “Khai Yad Sai Sapparot” (ไข่ยัดไส้สับปะรด) according to a recipe from “Thailand - The Cookbook”. But I still have to practice folding a Thai omelet the right way.

Pad Phed Moo (06-05)
A Thai “Pad Phed Moo” (ผัดเผ็ดหมู) is the weapon of choice when things have to go really fast. Like for today’s lunch break.

During the lunch break today, I prepared a quick “Pad Hed Orinji Moo Sap” (ผัดเห็ดออรินจิหมูสับ ) with king oyster mushrooms and minced pork. The dish is based on a recipe from “Thailand - The Cookbook”, I just replaced the shrimp in the book with minced meat.
