Pad Prick On : chicken jalapeño Stir fried

                Ok now you will have a question why jalapenos are in Thai food??  Actually this dish in Thailand we use one kind of chili that looks like a banana pepper, but as spicy as a jalapeno and because it is easy for me to find jalapeno anyway that is why I use it instead.  This dish is one of my favorites when I was a kid, because it is not too spicy (for me) but it’s got a little kick to the taste of the dish.  It will be a little spicy, salty and a little sweet but it is very good with rice.  I hope you will like it.

½ onion

Beef and mushroom oyster sauce.

            A lot of people asked me where did I get oyster sauce, and the following question was can I use oyster sauce in anothe dish?  I will answer them both. 1^st I bought my oyster sauce at a Thai grocery store, but one of our readers tells me that you can find it next to where there are soy sauce in a regular grocery store.  The second answer is you can use the oyster sauce in almost all of stir fried recipes and that’s why today I cook this dish.

            Beef and mushroom oyster sauce or Nuea Pad Num Mon Hoi. In thai “Nuea” means beef ,”Pad” means stir fried(in my basic Thai cooking blog) and ”Num-Mon Hoi” means oyster sauce. Yes in the name it’s doesn’t have mushroom but for me I like to put mushroom to balance nutrition in dish.  Actually this dish is Chinese Thai food so don’t worry this one is not spicy!! Now are you ready for the recipe….
