This is a really light, healthy and easy one-dish wonder. This recipe is based on Martin Yan’s Beef broccoli recipe. It’s a great quick meal for a weeknight and impressive enough to serve to a crowd too. You can use any veggies for this recipe such as asparagus, green beans etc.
Chiva-Som, which is a wellness spa in Thailand, has some of the best food I have ever eaten. I am probably the only person who visited there and came back obsessed with the food versus the wellness activities. I use the Chivasom cookbook frequently to recreate some of the magic of their cuisine. Here is [...]
This is a really quick stir fried chicken recipe using oyster sauce. It is a huge favorite with the kids.
This is possibly the easiest chicken curry recipe ever! It makes for a drier, thicker curry, which really goes well with rice or rotis. I like to make mine really spicy but you can adjust the fire to your palate.
These little teriyaki burgers are so yummy! The first time mother in law, Atsuko, who is one of the most phenomenal cooks I know, made these for me – I couldn’t believe something so simple could taste so good.

No one makes Khow-Suey better than my mother does. Whenever I visit India, this [...]
Here is another yummy version of a pomelo salad. This is the one that Varong’s Aunty Pen taught me in Bangkok. It’s a little different from the Chivasom’s Pomelo Salad recipe but is equally delicious. Pomelo Salad Serves 4 Ingredients: 1 cup shredded cooked chicken 2 cups pomelo ½ cup finely sliced shallots or red onion [...]
