Dear Manivan.. what is the name of the chicken dish that has coconut in the sauce.. Pud Thai? I would like to request this recipe... Is it in your recipe book.. ty, Pam
I call the dish chicken curry with long beans and bamboo and this recipe is in my Thai & Lao Food Recipe Book.
What texture should this custard have if done correctly? Thanks
The texture should be soft and firm like pumpkin pie.
Sounds delicious, where can we buy the steamer from?
I think the dish you're thinking of with chicken & coconut is Tom Ka Gai Soup. I make it as a soup sometimes and other times if we want something more like a pasta dish I make it with more noodles & less broth. There are loads of recipes for it. We eat it like once a week now. Remember that when it calls for galangal you can substitute ginger. Also, when I serve it, I place out chili sauce for everyone to place into the bottom of their bowl (makes it spicier) and I also chop loads of cilantro and lime for them to garnish. It's become a staple here :D
this really sounds delicious and look really yummy! I want to try it though but i need to get that steamer first..
kosher
great recipe - easy to do and the steaming process in the bamboo basket is really nice idea !thanks
Dear Manivan,
Is it okay to use canned coconut milk? I am going to make this regardless, I am half Lao and I grew up eating this and have been craving this since my Grandma moved to GA...I was just wondering if I can cheat a little and if it will come out as good w/ canned coconut milk. Thank you so much for posting this recipe !
Canned cocnut milk can be used. For special occasions, use fresh coconut milk.
