Kanom Jeeb

This is Thailand's version of Shaimu, the shrimp and pork dumplings that originated in Cantonese China.  It's a type of dim sum.

I bought the egg wrappers at the Asian market.  Everything else I did.

Watermelon

We have pretty good watermelon in Thailand, but I think it's better in the USA.  It's been really sweet the past few years. 

American Fried Rice

I'm going to make this one soon.

Well, I did it!

Essentials

Morning Glory, Chinese broccoli, Thai basil, Mueng bean sprouts, lemongrass

The History Of Curry

I make red, green and yellow curries.  I typically use chicken or pork.  I don't always make soupy curry.  Sometimes I used red curry paste in a stir-fry.

Oyster Omelet

When I visit Thailand, I love to eat oyster omelets.  Often the easiest place to get them is at a food court in a big Bangkok mall.  But you can find this dish all over the country!  And there are different ways to make them.  I prefer the fully-fried oysters.

Sweet Potatoes

We got these at a nearby farmer's market.  These were all grown in North Carolina.

Matcha Latte

We have been drinking matcha lattes daily.

Find a very good quality matcha tea powder.  Research it well.  Buy online or from your local grocery store.

For a latte, an electric frother is essential.  No worries, they are very easy to operate and clean.  They also are versatile.  You could enjoy simply warming your creamer or milk for coffee.

The bamboo whisk and 2-cup measuring cup are important to have.

You could do without the sift and half-teaspoon, but I enjoy the consistent and smooth taste they create.

You can go with regular dairy milk or a healthier alternative.  We enjoy Oatly Oat Milk.  And if you desire to sweeten your matcha latte, cane sugar is fabulous, and is what most tea shops use.  Agave is also very good, and it can be added to the frother with the milk to be warmed together.

I will add a how-to-make video later.  There are plenty on YouTube.  As with most things, practice makes perfect.  

Give a Matcha Latte a try.
