Kai yad sai- Stuffing egg

                Last weekend I went to my friend’s house, she gave me a lot of garden vegetables from her neighbor she told me that I could use it for my cooking blog (Thanks P-lek).  So I got a lot of tomatoes and long beans.  Now it is time to cook them.  Tomatoes of course you know them but what about long beans?  

Long bean is one kind of beans that the pod is very long (around 2 feet long) and it tastes sweet like young green beans (it means you can use green beans instead of long beans).  Since I got those 2 vegetables it reminds me of one menu that my mom always cooked for me when I was kid called : Kai yad sai or stuffing egg.  This dish was the dish that inspired me into cooking, because I saw how my mom made it and came out so amazing.  That moment I knew myself I wanted to learn how to cook!!!

                For this dish it is actually easy to make and eat specially for the kid, because it hides out all the vegetable that they don’t like) and covers it up with a cool looking egg warp and when they tasted it Amm… so yummy!!!

Green bean salad

This dish is an inspiration by when I went back to Thailand this spring I had winged bean salad in one of the restaurants in Khanchanaburi (the picture on the top of the blog).  This salad is not too spicy (most of Thai salad is very spicy) and it has interesting ingredients in this salad like coconut milk and served with hard boiled egg that not like any kind of Thai salad.  Unfortunately it’s hard to find wing bean around my house.  (What ‘s winged bean? Winged bean is the beans with four winged edges.  The fresh young pods are similar to green beans with a chewy texture and a slightly sweet taste. )  Since I can’t find my winged I use green beans instead.  Want to know how it all came together….here is the recipe

Ingredients : 1 serving

¼ cup ground pork

4 shrimps

1 cup thin sliced green beans

1 shallot

2 tbsp. fish sauce

2 tbsp. lime juice

2 tsp. Num prick pow (details in Tom yum kung blog)

1 tbsp. sugar

1-2 tsp. choped Thai chili (optional)

1 tbsp. roasted peanut

1 tsp. fried shallot

3 tbsp. coconut milk

1 hardboiled egg
