Thai at Home (photos)

Look at what the wife (MHNBPF) did!

She made Tom Kha soup, shrimp lettuce wraps and mango rice with coconut sauce.

Here we go:

Clockwise from left The mango rice with a bowl of coconut sauce, her Bible on a chair beside the table, bibb lettuce, a bottle of Ponzu sauce (citrus soy flavor), sliced jalapinos, radishes, bean sprouts, beside the wife's Tom Kha soup, the shrimp below the bean sprouts and a bowl of Nouc Cham sauce. the bowl of white stuff is rice noodles seasoned with roasted sesame oil and fish sauce. Only the finest of chilled bottled water from some industrial tap in Texas for our table!



Here are the shrimp



To make them, she sautéed green onions and garlic in a little oil and then added the peeled shrimp seasoned with Emeril's Seasoning a little salt and pepper. She makes her own Emeril's seasoning from the recipe on the internet.

Next the Nuoc Cham Sauce



Lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, sriracha, cilantro, mint and finely grated carrot. Wonderful with a nice heat.

Veggies:



Radishes, bean sprouts, sliced Jalapeño peppers, Bibb Lettuce and the rice noodles. I love the classic Thai taste the fish sauce and roasted sesame oil give the noodles.

Then the Tom Kha Soup.



Thai broth - chicken cooked in chicken broth with
carrots, celery, onion, salt and pepper, then chicken removed and stock strained. Chicken is cut into small pieces and set aside.

To the broth, add ginger, chili garlic sauce, fish sauce, lemon grass, sugar, lime juice and coconut milk. Heat and add chicken. Cook a while and to serve add slightly sautéed thinly sliced carrots, sliced red bell pepper, green onion and sliced fresh mushrooms to the bowl and cover with broth and chicken. Serve with a scoop of jasmine rice at our house.

So good soup.
