Thai Main-Course

Thai Main-Courses -

Whether a rich Bangkok-style curry or a simple dish of grilled meat with dipping sauce, this blog has collected a huge variety of chicken, beef, pork and seafood specialties from all around Thailand. Thailand is famous for its seafood. No wonder! It has two long coastlines along the southern peninsula: on the Gulf of Thailand and on the Indian Ocean. Village fishing boats bring in fish, rock lobsters, crabs, squid, shrimp, giant prawns, and scallops. These fresh gifts from the sea are often simply steamed or grilled.

Coconut, which grows abundantly in the South, appears in many seafood dishes, its milk used to thicken soup and curries.

The main dishes of Thai cuisine represent the wide variety of fresh ingredients available there. Meats are combined with vegetables and fruits, herbs and spices.

Most are stir-fried or otherwise lightly cooked, using a minimum of oil. The result: a low-fat, nutrition rich cuisine, high on freshness and flavor.

Note: Thai seafood recipes may call for prawns. That name is sometimes given to larger shrimp. In Bangkok, they serve the most gigantic prawns available, often in a simple sauce or grilled over charcoal.

Browse through this section and try some at home. You will love them all......!!!!......

Easy Spicy Thai Slow Cooker Chicken -

This is an inexpensive, time-saving recipe for anyone who loves spicy Thai but can't always afford to get carry-out.

Stir together the sesame salad dressing, Thai chili paste, ginger garlic paste, and peanut butter in a bowl until the mixture is well combined. Dip chicken pieces in the mixture, and place into a slow cooker. Pour the remaining sauce over the chicken. Set the cooker to Low, and cook 4 to 6 hours, until the chicken is very tender.
