2012_02_07-ThaiGreens01.jpgThai stir-fried greens have been in my weeknight cooking repertoire since I began cooking. It's the first Thai dish I ever prepared that tasted straight-outta-Thai-Town authentic, and it's so simple, I make it — usually with rice and a Thai omelet — whenever I want a quick, flavorful dinner with lots of healthy leafy greens.

Q: About a month ago, I decided to make pad Thai from scratch, and could not find the elusive tamarind paste in three grocery stores. This past weekend, I finally found it, and simply bought it on principle because I had been so frustrated looking for it. What else, other than pad Thai, can I use it for?!

2011_12_07-ChiliSauce.jpgI love making homemade condiments, but not everyone has the time or inclination to make their own ketchup, mustard or hot sauce from scratch. That's why whipping up a big batch of your favorite condiment and bottling it to give as hostess gifts is a gesture that's sure to be appreciated. My pick? Garlicky, spicy and bright Thai sweet chili sauce. More

2011_10_06-PumpkinCurry.jpgWe do love a good pumpkin pie, but when it comes to bringing this nutritious orange vegetable to the dinner table, we often gather inspiration from Thailand, Japan, and Vietnam, where pumpkin is simmered in hearty curries, glazed with fish sauce and black pepper, or stir-fried with fresh chiles and basil.

2011_08_02-AsianGreens.jpgIn countries like Thailand and Laos, meals include what might be the simplest salad of all: a plate of assorted raw vegetables and herbs. Unseasoned and dressing-free, this type of salad still satisfies, and is especially refreshing during the heat of summer. More

2011_05_26-ChickenChili.jpgSome food and condiment pairings are so magical, it's almost not worth eating one without the other. French fries and ketchup comes to mind — and so does grilled chicken and Thai sweet chili sauce. More

2011-04-26-PandanCake.jpgHow best to describe this steamed rice treat? Well, it's sticky! It's also chewy in the way that mochi is chewy. It's sweet with coconut milk and fragrant with something called pandan leaf essence. Never heard of pandan? Neither had we. More

2011_04_20-ThaiOmelette.jpgWhether I'm trying to put a late-night dinner on the table or cooking for one, a Thai-style omelet (kai jeow) is what I often turn to for an easy meal in minutes. Browned and crispy, it's quite different from a French omelet, especially thanks to the punch of umami from its essential ingredient: More

2011-04-20-ThaiCurry.jpgThai curry, how I love thee. You're spicy yet sweet. You're rich with coconut milk yet surprisingly light. You're full of enough vegetables that I can feel vaguely healthy eating you. And now I can make you at home. More
