Easy Thai Stir-fried Vegetables
Making a "simple stir-fry" isn't always as simple as it might seem. Getting the sauce to taste just right is usually a challenge. But my Thai stir-fried vegetables is a no-fail recipe, mostly because the stir-fry sauce is made before beginning to fry the vegetables, allowing you to adjust the flavor according to your taste. Try it as a side dish, or make it the main course (nuts, tofu, wheat gluten, or even slices of chicken can be added as a protein source) - you'll love it!
Quick and Easy Sweet and Sour Chicken (or Pork) with Vegetables
This healthy and colorful recipe will please everyone at dinnertime - even the kids. Slices of chicken (or pork) are cooked in a special Thai-style sweet and sour sauce that's tangy-delicious. Add shiitake mushrooms and bok choy, plus summer vegetables such as bell peppers and tomatoes plus fresh coriander, and you've got a low-fat, one-dish meal that also makes a great party or potluck dish.
Thai Tamarind Chicken
Most Thai recipes are a combination of sweet, sour, and spicy, and this recipe is the epitome of this delectable description, although you can choose to make the dish mild (without chillies) and it will still be darkly wonderful and rich-tasting. Stir-fried with plenty of fresh shiitake mushrooms, this savory chicken dish will satisfy even the biggest of appetites. Try Tamarind Chicken once, and you'll find yourself craving it again within just a few days!
Bok Choy Stir-Fried in Thai Garlic Sauce
This bok choy stir fry is terrific to serve as a side vegetable dish - or add tofu or your choice of chicken, pork, or seafood for a delicious mixed stir fry dish. With a rich garlic taste, the stir fry sauce recipe is easy to make and goes well with other vegetable dishes, such as stir fry broccoli or Chinese vegetables such as baby bok choy, su choy, Chinese broccoli or cabbage. Enjoy!
Thai Lime Chicken Stir-Fry
This chicken stir-fry is my favorite! Like most Thai stir-fries, it cooks up really quickly once you have all the ingredients ready. This recipe features the flavor of lime - both lime juice and lime leaf. Lime leaves are an essential part of this stir-fry, so don't skimp on them. You can buy kaffir lime leaves at most Asian/Chinese food stores - look for them in frozen packets. This chicken stir fry also includes vegetables, so you get everything you need in one dish. ENJOY!
