When you go to a Thai restaurant what do you "always" order? Is there one dish you wish you could make at home?

Mary-Anne,

It's whatever I ate last. Tonight I made a Thai flavored version of Chinese congee - which is a pretty free form dish anyway - with jasmine rice, penang curry sauce (Mae Ploy), dried black fungus, lemongrass and makrut leaves, dried orange peel, chicken stock, shrimp, asparagus tips and some shavings from the leftover Cajun andouille sausage we had last night. A dash of lime juice splashed on at the end. It was delicious. Sort of a mongrel dish but its ancestry (in my head and fridge) was Thai. Don't think there's a name for this one, though. But this is half the fun of cooking, isn't it?

I must do variations on Congee about once a week. Bhutanese red rice is awesome in congee and what I add varies each time.

This sounds wonderful! I bought some Thai brown rice just yesterday. I think I will try a joek (rice congee) using this brown rice from Thailand. Sometimes I flavour the joek with pandanus.

I usually use broken jasmine rice for joek. Have you tried the broken jasmine rice? It is simply wonderful with curries and stirfry dishes as well.

I love Thom com Ghai (I hope I didn't butcher that!)
Any way, it's the chicken & coconut soup.

I love making it especially when its chilly out, or when I've got a cold, because the curry just kind of opens up the sinuses and its so soothing.

When I make it at home, I don't make it with quite as much heat as normal, because my children would never eat it, and I add jasmine rice to it as well. But i make a huge pot, and it still doesn't last more then 2 days!

Pad Thai; it's incredibly delicious! The peanuts mixed with the (almost) sweet-an-sour-like sauce swimming with the limes and mung beans is simply too much for me to resist.

My all time favorite is Pad Woon Sen. It's thin glass noodles (I get it with chicken), some veggies, scrambled eggs and scallions....

I adore this dish but yet the Thai place won't give me their recipe, nor can I find it on the internet.

If you or your users can help, I would be forever grateful!!!

Thank you!
Pam

I always get the spicy beef salad. And it's a salad, so that makes it healthy, right?
