【腰缠万贯-泰式面条肉丸子】Thai Moo Sarong

Moo Sarong 是我很喜欢的一款泰式美食，几年前很热衷一套非常好看的泰剧 【天生一对】Buppesannivas，女主在剧中学做过这个面条丸子，完整地展示了做法和材料。我也在春节期间做了一次，非常好吃也很适合做个寓意很好的年菜呢！

刚好今天是元宵，上个面条肉丸子食谱祝福大家2025年都腰缠万贯，万事丰盛！

Moo Sarong (Meatballs wrapped in noodles) is a Thai dish that I really enjoyed. A few years ago, there was a very good Thai drama [Buppesannivas] that I was watching, the heroine in the drama was learning to make this moo sarong, and elaborated the method and ingredients called for. 

I also find it suitable for New Year dish! Today is the last day of Chinese New Year, I decided to post this recipe to wish everyone a prosperous 2025!

【泰式南瓜布丁】Sankaya Faktung

I love all kinds of desserts in Thailand a lot, and this pumpkin pudding is one of them, as I also love pumpkin alot. 

I saw some small Japanese pumpkins (Kabocha) in an Asian supermarket couple of days back, it was perfect size for this dessert, so I bought a few and made this dessert. It is really delicious.

我很喜欢泰国的各种甜点，这款南瓜布丁尤其长到我的点上，因为我也很喜欢南瓜。不久前在亚洲超市看到刚上市的日本小南瓜，就买回来做一次这个甜点，真的特别好吃。

【泰式酱油炒粿条】Pad See Ew Recipe ผัดซีอิ้ว

这款泰式炒粿条是每次到泰国餐厅就会点的一道面食，比起 Pad Thai, 我更喜欢这款炒粿条。
可能因为它口味很像我思念的马来西亚槟城炒粿条吧！

I like to order this stir fried flat rice noodle at Thai restaurants, the taste of "charred" in this dish is very similar to my favorite Penang Char Kuay Teow, brings me right back to the humid street of South East Asia.

Som Tum Ma Muang 【泰式青芒果沙拉】

Som Tum is the most popular salad in Thailand, you can see stalls selling it at almost most corners of the streets in Thailand. There are many types of Som Tum in Thailand with various kind of ingredients and seasoning.

The recipe I make today is called Som Tum Thai, the sweet and sour version. The two most popular types of Som Tum Thai are green papaya salad and this green mango salad, though the greens and ingredients may vary a little, both the Som Tums are pretty similar.

A very good friend of mine MiuMiu, who loves Thai foods a lot found Thai-Laos Mortar/Pestles from a Thai/Laos store, and she was such a darling to send me one all the way from NY!

With the right tool and good green mango that I found at a local Indian store, I am ready for a plate of Som Tum Ma Muang on this hot summer day!

青木瓜沙拉和青芒果沙拉 (Som Tum) 是两款泰国最具代表性的轻食，也是国外的泰国餐厅里必有的前菜。Som Tum 摊子更是在泰国的街头巷尾都找得到，Som Tum 在泰国的做法更多样化，有咸螃蟹Som Tum, 咸蛋Som Tum，臭鱼Som Tum等等。

好友MiuMiu热爱泰国菜，经常研究做法。她有一天在纽约的一家泰国老挝超市看见了专门做Som Tum的锥形捣臼, 不仅给自己买了一个，还给我寄来一个。我何其幸运，有如此好友，真是感激不尽。

既然有了捣臼，这个夏天不做个Som Tum，如何对得起好友的一番心意？

Thai basil turkey/chicken recipe (pad kra pao gai) 【泰式打抛火鸡肉】

We used to live near the Malaysia-Thailand border for a couple of years when I was a little kid, my family often goes over to "the other side of the border" for shopping and good foods.

This dish is one of our favourite dishes. It could be made with not just minced pork,  variations include minced beef or chicken, I used turkey today and it still taste as amazing!

我小的时候是在马泰边界生活的，假日和家人到泰国“那一边”去吃饭购物是很经常的事情，这也造成了我对泰国的酸辣口味特别偏爱的习惯。今天这道菜是在泰国路边小食摊都可以找得到的菜肴，是炎炎夏日开胃的好菜。

我家的九层塔今年居然长得有小孩的巴掌那么大，去年在土里埋下的堆肥果然给力，今天已经是第二次收成了，做这道辣炒火/鸡肉末，加上一只荷包蛋，挤上一点青柠汁。每一口都那么满足哦！

Ikan Paprik （Fish Paprik）【泰式Paprik鱼块】

Pad Prik is initially a Thai dish, literally means Spicy Stir fry. But in Northern part of Malaysia, especially the east coast of Malaysia, states such as Perlis and Kelantan, they too cooked a version of Paprik, a mixture of Malay and Thai cuisine.

This Fish Paprik is one of these dishes, you could use more oil than I did, the dish will look much better with little more grease.

Pad Prik 其实是泰国菜，泰语里辣炒的意思。马泰边界，特别是马来西亚的东海岸吉兰丹和丁加奴州饮食习惯交汇着马来饮食和泰国饮食的特点。香辣鲜甜，特别惹味。

这款Paprik鱼，是马来东海岸的做法，油如果多一些卖相会更好，我自己家里吃，就省了一点油。
