EWGA Thai Cooking Class & Dinner 28-Aug-2011



EWGA (English Professional Women Golf Association)

      

Thai cooking class & Dinner night (28th July 2011)

Despite a brief downpour on 28th July night, 15 lives of EWGA members were having fun of observing my Thai cooking demonstration class. That night I was introducing 6 different Thai dishes which include:

1. Thai style papaya salad

2. Red Paneng Chicken

3. Yellow curry pork

4. Fish nuggets with sweet & sour chili sauce

5. Chiangmai sweet sausage salad

6. We closed our menu course with mixed Thai fruits salad in mild coconut syrup

Some of the members were at first afraid of the spiciness but later found that each dish was actually combined various tastes a bit like an orchestra of flavors playing in their mouths-- spicy was part but not really outstanding the other tastes such sweet, sour, salty and it played some legendary scores that all members can't stop serving themselves for more. I was really happy to see my students enjoyed the cooking course and tasted and finished all dishes that we cooked! Thank you all

Thai Culture Corner

Do you know much about Thai cuisine & culture? Can you name a few things that are related to Thai cuisine & culture? If you are not too savvy about it, then let me tell you a little story about my home country...

Thai cuisine is famous for the subtle blending of four basic tastes: sweet, sour, spicy and salty. These four basic tastes represent the corner stone of a large proportion of dishes. Such tastes prevail more or less depending on the many provinces cooking styles and availability of ingredients. There is a myriad of such ingredients that may help to achieve these four basic tastes. Among those, the most common are either a combination of herbs or spices namely chili, galangal, lemongrass, kaffir leaves, basil(s) and fruits such as lime, lemon and papaya. More information about each herb and spice see "Ingredients Corner" please!

Thai people normally eat their meals with steamed plain rice. The best variety of steamed rice in the world is called "Jasmin Rice". It is a long grain rice that was originally cultivated in the province of Chachoengsao that is situated 150km to the East of Bangkok. Another rice specialty is the famous  steamed sticky or glutinous rice. Most of the northerners and northeasterners eat their food with sticky rice. Thailand as you know is famous as a land of Jasmin Rice and it is also the world number 1 Jasmin Rice exporter.
