This pairs very well with the Thai “street vendor” grilled pork (370 calories per serve) recipe and can form part of a Thai meal. We recently had some friends over for dinner and the kids got to play with each other. Unfortunately they decided they didn’t like this because it was cooked in a sauce base (my…

Thai vegetarian fried rice (659 calories per serve)
Thai fried rice is very aromatic. In my opinion, it is more flavourful than Chinese fried rice and I often have fond memories of it. When I was younger, my family used to go to Bangkok often for holidays. During these holidays, we used to stay at a motel near MBK shopping centre. I don’t remember…
Pumpkin, tofu and green beans red curry (267 calories per serve)
Do you know how much pumpkin is actually in a whole butternut pumpkin? A lot apparently … after removing the skin and the seeds, I had about 1.6kg of pumpkin! Since I am pretty much living by myself at the moment, that’s a lot of pumpkin to get through for one person without trying to eat…
Quick tofu and bean sprout stir fry (238 calories per serve)
I’ve been running around doing errands all day … doing the laundry, folding and ironing, filing away bills, paying bills, making medical appointments, changing bed sheets … I was pretty exhausted. I hadn’t been sleeping well either because the baby has started kicking and rolling almost non-stop … especially when I’m still and trying to sleep! Anyway…
Thai pork belly and Chinese broccoli stir fry (512 calories per serve)
This is one of my favourite Thai dishes. The first time I tried this dish was when my best friend ordered it from a Thai restaurant near my place. I was hooked since that day and have been meaning to make this ever since. This dish has more pork belly than what the restaurant would…
Thai ‘hor mok’ fish custard (236 calories per serve)
The first time I tried ‘hor mok’, it was in Cambodia where they called it ‘amok’. A few weeks ago, I took a friend to a fusion Asian restaurant/bar in Melbourne called Cookie and this was on the menu. She had never tried it before but loved it when I ordered it. So when I…
Thai “street vendor” grilled pork (370 calories per serve)
It has been nearly a year since I’ve been to Bangkok, Thailand. What I love most about the place is the food, especially the grilled pork sold on skewers by street vendors. They are also incredibly cheap – about 10 baht per stick or roughly about A$0.30 (maybe A$0.35 now that the dollar has fallen). There…
Red curry fish parcels with broccolini and baby carrots (480 calories per serve)
This is a very quick and easy midweek dinner. Because the fish are cooked in individual parcels, it is also great for cooking two different levels of spiciness as you can make one parcel with or without the chillies. Prep 5 minutes Cook 15-20 minutes Serves 2 Ingredients 2 large fillets of a white fish,…
