Thai Basil Pesto
When life gives me Thai Basil… apparently I make pesto. I recently moved to a cozy neighborhood in Singapore that boasts a fantastic wet market.

“MA! THE MEATLOAF!!” I had some leftover ground beef and was originally planning to make a beef version of the Meatball Shop’s Spicy Pork Meatballs; however, I realized I was out of tomatoes to make any kind of accompanying sauce.

Most sauces call for some combination of tamarind, sugar, fish sauce, vinegar, tomato paste and … Continue reading
Thai Green Chicken Curry
Thai curry is an incredibly simple dish to make, assuming you use pre-made curry paste from the store rather than making your own.
