Thai red curry

Was inspired by my cousin Nick's lovely wife Ott to try my hand at a Thai dish after she shared some of her skills and talent with us as we helped her prepare a meal. It came out good and was easy to make.

Here's a look at the finished dish.

What you need to make it:
Red curry paste, I found it in my supermarket in a jar, just had to spoon it out, easy right?
garlic
grated ginger
lime, zest and juice
red pepper
carrots
scallions
Thai basil, keep some for garnish on top 
coconut milk
rice
coconut oil and sesame oil


Just chop up your veggies, zest your lime. 

 There really is no recipe for this that I followed. You can make any quantity that works for you.  

Started with the garlic in some coconut oil and sesame oil., and added the curry paste by eye. Then added the zest and juice of a lime. Next up was grated ginger and scallion. 

As these cooked a while I added the coconut milk and the rest of the veg, I just let it simmer until veggies were cooked. Cook up some rice spoon some on top of rice when it's done and some of the thai basil on top, grab a spoon and dig in!

Veggie Potstickers

These are super easy to make and there really is no recipe!!! Just pick up some pre made wonton wrappers at the supermarket, they are usually in the refrigerated part of the produce section. Fill them with whatever you like. I used red pepper, spinach, scallion, garlic, lemongrass, carrot, baby bok choy, and celery.                          

Chop whatever you are going to use very finely and put a small amount of it in the middle of the wrapper, brush a little water around the edges so it sticks when you fold them together. Just pinch them together, kind of pleating them as you go along, it really doesnt matter how you do it as long as they dont open.

 I cooked them in a fry pan with a little sesame oil and a little lime juice squeezed on it until they brown a bit and voila... done! And they taste really good. Crispy on the outside juicy on the inside. Yum yum.
