Thai Grilled Steak (with Flavorful Sauce)
This grilled steak recipe has two names in Thailand: "Weeping Tiger" or "Waterfall Beef". The steak is marinaded, then barbequed over a hot grill. Although you can enjoy the grilled steak whole, it is traditionally sliced up very thinly and served with a very flavorful accompanying sauce (recipe included here). The sauce includes a rather strange ingredient to most North Americans: ground toasted rice. For an easier substitution, use ground peanuts.

Thai Chicken Rice Soup with Prawns and Coriander
In Asia, breakfast often takes the form of soup, noodles, or "porridge", which is actually a kind of thick rice soup. This chicken-rice soup recipe is a good example, although I am more apt to make it for dinner. It's a soothing, comfort food, and excellent if you're fighting a cold or flu. Whether cooked in a slow cooker, or on the stove, it's extremely easy to make, low in fat and calories, and healthy too (see my substitutions for whole grains).
