Notes about Recipes in this book

• Spicy peanut sauce

  • CaraGulati on March 09, 2021

    Chunky peanut butter is fabulous. Used garlic oil and salam oelek in place of curry paste. Excellent. Could use either salt or possibly a bit more fish sauce.

• Spaghetti-squash salad with poached shrimp and basil

  • wodtke on February 08, 2016

    This is essentially a recipe for a Thai papaya salad with spaghetti squash substituted for the papaya, green papayas being hard to find in some localities. The flavors are instantly recognizable. A pretty good substitute, though not for the purists. Remember not to cook the squash as you would to use it as a vegetable; it is meant to be almost raw.

• Stir-fried chicken with Thai basil

    Easy and light. I added agretti because why not?

• Gooey ginger chicken

  • Lindalib on January 28, 2013

    Good flavor. Not sure why so much water was called for when mixing with sugar in the caramel sauce. Took much longer than the stated 15 minutes to carmalize. Also, the sauce never turned dark brown, so something was wrong. This impacted the gooey part of the recipie...never got it gooey. Just cooked away most of the sauce toward end of chicken recipie. Would like to try this again.

• Cauliflower in sweet and sour sauce

  • meggan on April 06, 2018

    Though this was good, I wouldn't say this was a sweet and sour sauce. It also needs far more liquid than listed. Or maybe my cauliflower was very big.
