Krayasart

mojimaesawing137125

Krayasart which means food for the Sart Rite is prepared from rice, bean, sesame and sugar cooked into a sticky paste and then wrapped with a banana leaf. After making Krayasart people would take it to the temple to be offfered to the monks on Sart Day. At the temple, a raised-platform would be erected in a long line on the temple grounds and the monk’s alms-bowls would be placed on it. People would then put Krayasart in the alms-bowls till they were full of Krayasart. Then Krayasart would be transferred into a bamboo basket by the temple boys. At the same time, food and dessert would be separately offered to the monks at their lodging. At The end of the offering ceremony, people would perform a ceremony of pouring the water of dedication, in order to transfer merit to other beings, as people believe that if they did not offer Krayasart to monks, their dead relatives would have nothing to eat and thus they would be condemned as having no gratitude towards their benefactors.

Khanom Krok

th070239

Another one of my favourite street food snacks has to be khanom krok. This can be loosely translated into English as Coconut Pudding. It is basically a mixture of flour batter and coconut cream cooked in a pan over a charcoal fire. You can find them in most places around Thailand with the same basic recipe.
Ingredients (bottom layer)
1 cup rice flour
2 cups water
1/3 cup steamed (cooked) jasmine rice
1/2 cup grated, dried coconut (available in the baking section of most supermarkets)
1/2 teaspoon salt
Ingredients (topping)
1 cup coconut cream
1/2 cup sugar
1.5 teaspoon salt
1 green onion (scallion) chopped (optional)
Method (bottom layer)
Mix 1 cup rice flour with 1 cup water in a bowl. Mix well, and let it sit for at least an hour (overnight is ok). In a blender, mix 1/3 cup cooked jasmine rice with 1/2 cup grated coconut, add the salt, then and add 1 cup water. Blend together until finely mixed. Pour this into the bowl of rice flour and water that’s been sitting. Mix well by hand. Set aside.Method (topping)Mix coconut cream, sugar and salt in a bowl until dissolved. If you decide to use green onion, add it now.Cooking the Khanom KrokThe video below is an excellent way to learn the method of cooking khanom krok. Heat the khanom krok pan over medium heat, and brush with vegetable oil when hot. Using a spoon (our Thai spoon, with sharp edges and made of stainless steel, works perfectly), add the bottom layer mixture into each hole so it’s about 2/3 full. Wait a moment, then pour about 2 teaspoons of the topping mixture into each hole to fill it up. Cover the pan with a lid (any lid will do, just set it on top of the pan), and cook until the cups turn slightly brown and crisp around the edge (about 8-10 minutes, or a bit more). Remove each cake, and serve warm. Usually the cakes are served as two (one placed on top of the other as shown below).

Spicy fried fish cakes, “Tod Man Plaa”

tod-man-par-kai

Tod man pla is one of the most famous Thai dishes but seems to be rarely offered on the menus of
Thai restaurants in the United States. We’re happy to show you how to make it, step-by-step, with
great results. Get a good fresh piece of fish to ensure success.

Ingredients for fish cakes
1 lb fresh white fish, prefer cod or halibut
1 egg
3/4 cup finely sliced Chinese longbean, or stringbeans
6 fresh kaffir lime leaves, finely sliced
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1.5 tablespoons red curry paste
3 cups vegetable oil for frying
Ingredients for cucumber relish
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1 cucumber, coarsely chopped
3 shallots, finely sliced
1-2 fresh Thai chile pepper, sliced
1 tablespoon roasted peanuts crushed in a mortar and pestle
Method for fish cakes
Cut the fish into small pieces, then grind it up in a food processor or pound it in a mortar and pestle
until it’s a paste. Transfer to a large mixing bowl, and add the rest of the ingredients (except the oil).
For spicier taste, add a bit more red curry paste. Using your hands, knead the mixture until sticky enough
to form it into a disc about 2 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. Heat oil in a wok or frying pan at med/high
heat. Add fishcakes and fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on
paper towels. Serve warm with steamed jasmine rice, and a dish of cucumber relish which is to be spooned
over the fish cakes at the table.
Method for cucumber relish
Cook vinegar and sugar in small saucepan over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Let cool. In a small serving
bowl put cucumbers, shallots and Thai chile. Pour vinegar mixture over that, then top with roasted peanuts.

Thai Pork Satay, “Moo Satay”

tomyumkung

Pork satay consists of strips of marinated pork on bamboo skewers, charcoal barbequed then served with a tasty peanut sauce and a white vinegar cucumber sauce. It’s often served in Thailand with squares of toast, as shown in our recipe here. We made pork satay in the true authentic Thai style, which is time-consuming. Be sure to baste your satay as it’s on the barbeque, note from our street vendor video (below) he is constantly basting. It seems that most of the time, this style of satay is made with pork, but you can also find chicken satay and prawn satay. We offer a ready-made satay mix that’s quite good for both chicken and pork.
There are four different things you need to make: marinade, basting sauce, satay sauce, and ajad.
Ingredients for pork and marinade
2 lbs pork tenderloin, sliced into 1/4″ thick pieces
4 tablespoons lemongrass water (see below)
5 tablespoons thin soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 14 oz can coconut milk*
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 tablespoon Thai curry powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
Method for pork marinade
Thinly slice 1 stalk of fresh lemongrass, put in a bowl, then pour 1/2 cup boiling water over it. Remove 4 tablespoons of the water and set to cool.
For the can of coconut milk, don’t stir it up, and some will have a thicker consistency. Measure 1/3 cup of the thicker part for the marinade. You will use the thinner part for your basting liquid below.
In a mixing bowl, combine the lemongrass water with the coconut cream, and the other ingredients. Mix well, then add the pork, and refrigerate for 1 hour or more.
Ingredients for basting liquid
Remaining coconut milk from above
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
Method for basting liquid
Combine the four ingredients, mix well, and set aside.

1.5 tablespoons chopped fresh galangal
1.5 tablespoons thinly sliced lemongrass
5 fresh kaffir lime leaves, finely sliced
2 tablespoons fresh shallot, thinly sliced

1/4 cup dried roasted peanut

Cream Cheese Jalapeno Hamburgers

2

“These are the BEST burgers I’ve ever had. My mother made a version of these and I changed it a little….instead of Jalapeno peppers you can add ANYTHING or just do the cream cheese…trust me…you’re family and/or guests will BEG for the recipe!”

Ingredients

  • 2 cups seeded and chopped jalapeno pepper
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 8 hamburger buns, split

Directions

  1. Preheat a grill for medium heat. When hot, lightly oil the grate. In a medium bowl, stir together the jalapenos and cream cheese.
  2. Divide the ground beef into 16 portions and pat out each one to 1/4 inch thickness. Spoon some of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of 8 of the patties. Top with the remaining patties, pressing the edges together to seal.
  3. Grill for about 10 minutes per side, or until well done, taking care not to press down on the burgers as they cook. This will make the cheese ooze out. Serve on buns with your favorite toppings.
