Thai Dinner Party Ideas?
Comments (3)DD lived in Thailand for more than a year. I asked her for suggestions, and here is a recipe she sent me. This is a recipe for one of our favorite Thai dishes, Tom Kha Gai (chicken and coconut milk soup). Here is the basic recipe: "Tom Kha Gai Combine 3 cups chicken stock, 3/4 C coconut cream, 2 kaffir lime leaves, 1 piece coriander root, 2 T sliced young galangal, 1 T sliced lemon grass and bring to a boil for a few minutes. Add 200 grams chopped chicken thigh, let boil and cook for a few minutes. Season soup with salt, fresh lemon juice, and smashed chilli peppers. Serve hot in a bowl garnished with cilantro and fried dry chilies (optional). I would definitely add some chopped onions and mushrooms, maybe just before the chicken, and also some tomato wedges. When we made it here it came out really well. I guess they will know something about Thai ingredients? Galangal is a root, I don't know how difficult it would be to find there. And the lemon grass should be cut at an angle into pieces an inch or two-long. Also, on the can it may say coconut milk or coconut cream, but it's the same thing." Here is some Thai trivia: When she was searching for an apartment, none of the apartments had kitchens! Most people don't cook at home because really delicious and inexpensive food is readily available on the street, in kiosks or little stores. She had to search to find a small portable oven because she loves to cook and wanted to make something. Another piece of trivia: Most Thai do not know Bangkok by that name but rather by the name Krung Thep. Krung Thep is actually an abreviated form of its full ceremonial name which is "Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit." It might be difficult to fit that on an address label! Good luck with your dinner party! One impression I have from photos she sent is that there are flowers EVERYWHERE! Especially hibiscus and orchids. Here is a link that might be useful: Bangkok/Krung Thep info...See MoreLA get-together: titillating our taste buds with Thai

Unfortunately it looks like we are going to be in LA during the week so lunch will be tricky and I know that dinner can be a bad time given other obligations. Hopefully we can arrange something but if not...............I will kill myself....See More15 Minute Jobs?

Comments (13)OK, I'm still needing a side dish, and I discovered that we don't have a bread course, so here it is, one of my favorite recipes from Readinglady. I make the dough in my bread machine, then remove, shape and bake. I never use the dough relaxer either, and this dough is silky, tender and easy to work with. Mona Shabelman's Braided Onion Loaf Serving Size : 16 Categories : Breads ABM Dough 3/4 cup water -- (6 ounces) 1/2 cup milk -- (4 ounces) 4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour -- (18 1/2 ounces) 1/4 cup sugar -- (1 3/4 ounces) 1 1/2 teaspoons salt -- (3/4 tsp. micro salt) 1 teaspoon yeast -- (instant) 1/4 cup butter -- or oil (2 ounces) 1 egg 2 tablespoons dough relaxer Filling 1/4 cup butter -- (2 ounces) melted 2 cups finely chopped onions -- (8 ounces) OR 1/2 cup (1 1/2 ounces) instant minced onions 1 tablespoon garlic -- minced or 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon paprika 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese -- (1 1/4 ounces) grated Topping 1 egg yolk mixed with 1 tablespoon water -- (or bread shine) 3 tablespoons sesame seeds -- (or poppy or caraway or mixed seeds) Manual Method: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine all of the dough ingredients, stirring till the mixture starts to leave the sides of the bowl. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased surface, oil your hands, and knead it for 6 to 8 minutes, or until it's smooth and supple. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl or dough-rising bucket, cover the bowl or bucket, and allow the dough to rise till puffy though not necessarily doubled in bulk, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, depending on the warmth of your kitchen. Mixer Method: Combine the ingredients as directed in the previous paragraph, using a flat beater paddle or beaters, then switching to the dough hook(s) and kneading for 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl or dough-rising bucket, cover the bowl or bucket, and allow the dough to rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, till it's puffy though not necessarily doubled in bulk. Bread Machine Method: Place all of the dough ingredients into the pan of your machine, program the machine for manual or dough, and press Start. Take a look at the dough about 10 minutes before the end of the final kneading cycle, and adjust its consistency with additional water or flour, as necessary, to produce a smooth, supple dough. Allow the machine to complete its cycle. Filling: In a medium-sized saucepan, sauté the onion and garlic in the butter until the onions are soft and golden brown. Remove the pan from the stove, allow it to cool to lukewarm, then stir in the paprika and cheese. Set it aside. Assembly: Turn the dough out onto a lightly oiled or lightly floured work surface. Roll it into an 18 x 12-inch rectangle, and cut it lengthwise into three 18 x 4-inch strips. Place a row of filling down the middle of each strip. Fold the strips over, use the heel of your hand to seal the edges, then roll into logs, sealing the ends. This is a very extensible (stretchy) dough; the logs will try to become VERY long as you roll them, but try to keep them within a few inches of their original length. Braid the logs and place the braid on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover lightly and allow the loaf to rise for 1 hour. Beat the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon water and brush the loaf all over with the egg wash. Sprinkle it with the seeds of your choice. Bake the braid in a preheated 375°F oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until it's deep brown and sounds hollow when thumped on the bottom, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into a thick part of the bread (but not into the filling) registers 200°F or higher. Remove the bread from the oven, and allow it to cool somewhat before serving. Yield: 1 large loaf. Note: This could easily be made into two smaller loaves. When you make your original cuts in the dough, simply make one additional crosswise cut, so you have six 9 x 4-inch rectangles (instead of three 18 x 4-inch). Proceed as directed above, making two loaves. You may want to reduce the baking time slightly. Description: "This makes one giant (18-inch) braid, or make two smaller loaves, if you like. Soft and tender, rather than crisp and chewy, it's a nice addition to a dinner breadbasket." Annie...See Morepetalique
