Rice noodles "drunkard's style" with chicken (Kuai-tiao khi mao kai)
-
Cookbooks for Dinner by T. Susan Chang
The sauce! This. Is. The. Sauce. You know how you go to a noodle place, and ...you don’t think you can reproduce the sauce at home? Well, this was the Sauce of Freedom for me.

-
Pork in spicy dressing with iced broccoli stems (Mu manao)
-
Serious Eats
Alternating bites between the pork and the broccoli was a revelation, warming and cooling the mouth for a balanced meal. The ice cubes seem unnecessary, but don't skip them...
-
-
Leaf-wrapped salad bites (Miang kham)
-
Serious Eats
The is an excellent integrator—each seemingly disparate ingredient in the wrap tasted cohesive when drizzled with the sweet and salty sauce. I would ... recommend rinsing the ginger before serving.

-
Curry noodles with chicken (Kuai-tiao kaeng sai kai)
-
Serious Eats
The finished curry is quite complex when made from scratch, and it clings to the rice noodles with comforting ease.
-
-
Son-in-law eggs (Khai luk khoei)
-
Serious Eats
This recipe is a great way to use hardboiled eggs that you didn't peel perfectly—the frying process will hide any errant pock-marks.

-
Grilled steaks with roasted tomato dipping sauce [Crying tiger] (Suea rong kap jaeo ma-khuea thet)
-
Serious Eats
This spicy and tart tomato relish is a great match for rich rib-eye. ... Next time, I'd move the tray of vegetables into the still-warm oven to soften after charring them.

Who can say no to a delicious plate of Pad Thai with Shrimp; a fresh, tangy Green Papaya Salad; golden Fried Spring Rolls; or a rich, savory Pork Toast with Cucumber Relish? Thai food is not only one of the most vibrant, wonderfully varied cuisines in the world, it also happens to be one of the tastiest, and a favorite among American eaters.
The good news is, with the right ingredients and a few basic tools and techniques, authentic Thai food is easily within reach of home cooks. Take it from Leela Punyaratabandhu, a Bangkok native and author of the popular Thai cooking blog She Simmers. In her much-anticipated debut cookbook, Leela shares her favorite recipes for classic Thai fare, including beloved family recipes, popular street food specialties, and iconic dishes from Thai restaurant menus around the world.
All of Leela’s recipes have been tested and tweaked to ensure that even the busiest cook can prepare them at home. With chapters on key ingredients and tools, base recipes, one-plate meals, classic rice accompaniments, and even Thai sweets, Simple Thai Food is a complete primer for anyone who wants to give Thai cooking a try. By the end of the book, you’ll be whipping up tom yam soup and duck red curry that will put your local takeout joint to shame. But perhaps more importantly, you’ll discover an exciting new world of Thai flavors and dishes—including Stir-Fried Chicken with Chile Jam, Leaf-Wrapped Salad Bites, and Crispy Wings with Three-Flavored Sauce—that will open your eyes to all the wonderful possibilities that real Thai cooking has to offer.
