Thai Food
What did you cook?
Well, as you know I was in Thailand last month, and I took a cooking class! So I prepared some of my favorite dishes.
Great idea! As long as I don’t get food poisoning! So what is onthe menu tonight?
Ok, for starters we have Tom Yam soup. It’s a bit spicy, but really good!
This is delicious! The ginger and lemongrass really gives it a nice taste!
Now this next dish is one of the most famous. Foreigners call it papaya salad butthe proper name is Tom Sam. It is a spicy salad made from a mix of fresh vegetables including shredded unripened papaya and tomato.
This is delicious! The combination of sour and spicy is really interesting! I could have this everyday!
Ok, now forthe last and best dish in my opinion. This is called Pad Thai. It’s stir-fried noodles with eggs, fish sauce, tamarind juice, red chili pepper plus bean sprouts, shrimp and tofu and garnished with crushed peanuts and coriander. It’s practically Thailand’s national dish!
Wow, this is great! I never knew Thai food was so creative and delicious!
Wantsome more?
I’m stuffed!
