Serve these Asia-inspired sweet-and-sour pickles with satays or other grilled or roasted meats.
A curry is a great place to add or substitute your favourite vegetables. Since commercial Thai curry paste is generally made with fish sauce or shrimp, we've used our own recipe, which makes enough for a few meals. If fish is part of your diet, you can substitute fish sauce for the salt.
This aromatic Thai-inspired soup is the perfect comfort food to warm up a cold winter evening. Top with finely sliced red chilies for a little extra kick, if desired. You can also swap the rice with noodles, or serve it without a starch, as a brothy starter soup.
Sweet-salty-sour flavours infuse budget-friendly pork chops for a taste your family will love. Serve pork thinly sliced alongside reserved marinade as a sauce for dipping.
This dish can be quite hot and spicy depending on the brand of curry paste used. The variety in the pouch (instead of the jar or can) tends to be milder. For those sensitive to spicy food, reduce the curry paste to 2 tsp (10 mL). In a pinch, use mild Indian curry paste.
This soup is reminiscent of the hot and tangy Tom Yum soup available in Thai restaurants. It's loaded with authentic Thai flavours but can be made with mainstream ingredients. If your supermarket doesn't carry lemongrass, use 1/2 tsp (2 mL) finely grated lemon rind.
