Thailand's most eaten dish, done properly. Aged minced beef, holy basil, krachai and a blistered wok fried egg.
Leftover roast chicken, coconut cream, galangal and lemongrass. A bowl of soup that works in winter and summer and takes about 15 minutes once the broth is on.
Fresh Cornish mussels stir-fried in a turmeric paste with green peppercorns, coconut milk, chilli and Thai basil. Under 30 minutes. One of the most underrated things you can cook.
Cold-smoked salmon laksa built on a red curry paste base with coconut cream, dried shrimp floss, soft-boiled eggs, peanuts and pickled mustard greens. The smoke is the point.
Flat iron beef stir-fried with homemade jaew - a smoky BBQ-charred chilli relish - shallots, kale and flat rice noodles. Make the full batch of jaew and use it all week.
