More culinary adventures

I'm getting confident enough to cook Thai food without looking at recipes. Last night I cooked:

Choo chee fish
Long beans with pork, roasted chilli paste and basil
Chinese celery with beancurd
Coconut milk soup with mushrooms, fried beancurd and cuttlefish balls
Steamed rice

I only used a recipe for the choo chee sauce.

The other thing I like about this kind of cooking is how cheap it is. I did the ingredient shopping yesterday and spent less than $20 which included a bunch of fruit. We had a great meal and have a fridge full of leftovers. Can't beat that.

The best Thai food I've ever had is in London. Unfortunately for y'all, it's at my ex-siblings-in-law's house. S-i-L is Thai, and used to manage a restaurant there. She is an amazing cook.
