Notes about Recipes in this book

• Minced chicken kar pow puff pasties (Gai kra pow)

  • dawn_35wd2u on May 06, 2026

    Delicious filling but a bit too much of it for the quantity of pastry. Also difficult to close the pastry if overfilled. I used about a fifth of the filling per pasty so had a fair bit left and they were still generously filled.

• Smoked duck breast salad with Thai dressing (Yam ped)

  • meggan on September 05, 2023

    I bought pre-sliced smoked duck breast and it was yummy - might double the dressing next time so I can cover more salad.

• Stir-fried asparagus with prawns (Goong pad noh mai)

  • Charlotte_vandenberg on September 09, 2018

    Yummie, will definitely make this again. Easy and very tasty.

• Stir-fried chicken with cashew nuts (Gai pad met ma muang)

  • mpo on October 06, 2024

    I used chilis from chili oil as paste, lots of heat. Very fun dish.

• Stir-fried minced chicken with red curry (Nam pik aong)

  • jenburkholder on January 19, 2025

    I used this as a base idea so may not be fair to review. I had 12 oz of ground beef to used up so subbed that instead of chicken (recipe is traditionally pork). I think I made poor chile choices - combo of New Mexico (mild) and some random Chinese smaller chiles. Overall not enough heat. The finished texture was on the saucy side with the canned diced tomatoes so gave me vibes closer to a spaghetti sauce! Tasted fine, not great, might repeat just due to incredible ease for make-ahead lunches (with rice and veg).

• Stir-fried beef with fresh green peppercorns (Nuar pad prig thai orn)

  • dawn_35wd2u on May 06, 2026

    Very tasty. I subbed black peppercorns as I couldn’t get green ones Hot and delicious.

• Grilled beef with sweet basil sauce and chilli (Nuar yang pad kra pow)

  • VineTomato on August 29, 2017

    Simple, quick and tasty - I added some green beans for veg which worked well.

• Spicy seafood spaghetti (Spaghetti khee meow ta lae)

  • Charlotte_vandenberg on September 30, 2018

    Very tasty recipe, we found 150 g spaghetti is a bit much for one person, 160 g for two was perfect. We did double the rest of the ingredients, and used frozen seafood. We will definitely make this again for a weekday dinner.

• Pineapple fried rice (Khai pad sapralort)

  • Kduncan on April 02, 2021

    This was really easy to make. We did all of the seafood as shrimp, as it was just easier to buy that way. Overall this was a nice dish, would make again.

• Shrimp fried rice (Khao pad goong)

  • Laurel21 on November 13, 2021

    Easy and delicious!
