More Thai food
I had a bit of an urge to cook Thai again, or at least to be a bit more sophisticated than making a batch of pork with basil and chillis for the freezer. So I did. Last night we had:
Salad of green mango and shrimp
Pork stirfried with long beans and roasted chilli paste
Choo chee curry of tofu
Steamed gai lan with oyster sauce
Nam prik kapi with fresh and pickled vegetables
Rice
I couldn't be bothered to make a soup as well.
Tofu is a good choice for a choo chee curry. It's normal to use fish or seafood but the curry rather tends to overwhelm the seafood flavour and it ends up being mostly about texture. Firm tofu provided that quite well. Pickled garlic goes very well with this curry.
