Chicken with Cashew Nuts or Gai Pat Met Ma-muang.
|
This is a dish that is Chinese in origin but is now very popular with Thais too. Personally, I love cashew nuts and think that this dish tastes wonderful. It is one of the most popular dishes in my restaurant too and is very easy to make.

| Tom Kha Gai or Chicken in Coconut Milk Soup. |
This soup is one of the most well known soups in Thailand. It has a creamy consistency and has a lovely lemony flavour to it. It is not as spicy as the hot and sour prawn soup but you can add extra chillies if you want. If you do not want to make the soup so rich and creamy then you can use equal quantities of thick and thin coconut milk.
 |
| Tord Man Plaa or Thai style fish cake. |
This is one of the most famous starters. Once they have been deep-fried and left to cool they can be frozen so you can make this dish in big batches. Let them unfreeze when you want to use them and put them in a warm oven or microwave to heat through. They are very good for parties. They can also be made using chicken, pork, prawns or crab.

| Gaeng Som Plaa Chon or Tamarind Flavoured Soup with Fish |
put all the ingredients for the paste into a mortar and pound using a pestle for about 10 minutes until the paste is smooth.
 |
| Gaeng Kheo Wan Gai or Green Curry with Chicken. |
This is one of the most popular dishes that we teach. Ready-made versions are now widely available in supermarkets but nothing can beat our home-made green curry and it is a wonderful dinner party dish. You can make the sauce as thick and creamy as you like. This curry is one of the most spicy.
 |
| Pad Thai or Thai Fried Noodles. |
This is now very well known and is one of the dishes that foreigners love to eat when they come to Thailand. Everybody has a different version of this and this is mine. It can also be made using fresh prawns instead of dried shrimps.
