Ayam Masak Merah with Nasi Minyak (Malay ghee rice) for dinner tonight. A classic Malay chicken dish in a rich, slightly sweet and spicy tomato-based sauce, with fragrant ghee rice. I added a bit of oats to the rice for extra texture. 🍗 😋 #foodstr

I’d love to share my mango sticky rice recipe—it’s one of my favorite ways to enjoy mango. It’s simple, comforting, and so delicious. Mango Sticky Rice (Khao Niew Mamuang - ข้าวเหนียวมะม่วง) is a classic Thai dessert made with sticky rice soaked in sweet coconut milk, served with ripe mango and a lightly salted coconut sauce. Creamy, sweet, and just a little savory, it’s especially good when mangoes are in season. ⸻ Ingredients Coconut Sticky Rice • 250 g glutinous rice • 150 g coconut milk • 100 g white sugar • 5 g sea salt Coconut Sauce • 100 g coconut milk • 10 g white sugar • ¼ tsp sea salt • ¾ tsp rice flour • A few pandan leaves (better to have but not a must) ⸻ Instructions Sticky Rice 1. Rinse the glutinous rice until the water runs clear. 2. Soak the rice for at least 2 hours, up to 12 hours. 3. Drain the rice. If using pandan leaves, tie them into a knot and place them in the steamer with the rice. 4. Steam for 20–30 minutes, until fully cooked. The grains should stick together; if they still fall apart, continue steaming. Coconut Mixture 5. While the rice is steaming, mix coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a measuring cup until fully dissolved. 6. As soon as the rice is done, pour the coconut mixture over the hot rice (this step is important so the rice absorbs it properly). 7. Mix well, cover, and let rest for at least 30 minutes. Coconut Sauce 8. Gently heat the coconut milk over low heat to prevent separation. If using pandan leaves, tie them into a knot and place them in the saucepan with coconut milk. 9. In a small bowl, mix sugar, salt, and rice flour until well combined, then add it to the warm coconut milk. 10. Cook gently, stirring, until slightly thickened. Turn off the heat. ⸻ How to Serve This dessert is best served slightly warm. Spoon some sticky rice onto a plate, add fresh mango slices on the side, and serve with coconut sauce poured over or on the side. Enjoy! 🥭🥥 #foodstr #siamstr 📝 53fd5007…

อย่างสีเหลือง 💛😝 My first mango sticky rice — just a warm-up for the season! 🥭 #foodstr #siamstr #flowerstr

I usually make Thai-style crispy pork belly, but this time I tried the Hong Kong style. I think the main difference is that Thai-style has puffier skin and is great for using in other dishes like pad kra pao or noodles. The Hong Kong style has thinner, crispier skin, with juicier meat and more flavor—it’s perfect on its own. I also made a bok choi dish and some shu mai to give the meal a Cantonese/Hong Kong vibe. Honestly, the shu mai looked really cute one by one… but all together they kind of gave off Halloween vibes 🤣 #foodstr

Finally finished the Thai eggplants today. After making some green curry and giving a few away, I ended up cooking Isan food tonight. Isan cuisine comes from Thailand’s Northeast and is known for its bold, vibrant flavors. I made a mashed eggplant chili dip (ซุปมะเขือ) and enjoyed it with some veggies and boiled eggs. To make the meal more filling, I added some steak with nam jim jaew, and a spicy, sour chicken soup on the side to keep everything bright and comforting. Simple but bold. Light, yet filling. #foodstr #siamstr 📝 1ee1f52a…

Spinach Gratin 😌 #foodstr

I added some dark rye, wheat germ, and psyllium husks to the dough for a little extra fiber. I expected it to be denser, but the crumb turned out really nice—light and chewy. The crust is thin and crispy too. My husband smeared a generous amount of butter on a thick slice, added a drizzle of honey, and a pinch of salt… chef’s kiss! 💋 #sourdough #foodstr

Moo Krob 🐖 crispy pork belly with nam jim jaew and nam jim seafood. Nam jim seafood is a bright, spicy Thai dipping sauce usually served with seafood. It’s punchy and fresh, with lime, chili, garlic, and herbs. I know it sounds a bit odd to pair a seafood sauce with rich, crispy pork belly… but trust me, it’s soooo good together! The freshness cuts through the richness perfectly 😋 #foodstr #siamstr

After enjoying the jackfruit, I saved the seeds to make เม็ดขนุน (Med Kanun), one of the traditional Thai auspicious desserts (ขนมไทยมงคล). These sweets are often made to represent good luck, prosperity, and positive blessings. Med Kanun is said to symbolize support, encouragement, and being well-supported in life, a meaning I find really lovely 😊 My afternoon tea today is a little different, but I know it’s going to be delicious 🍵💛 #foodstr #siamstr 📝 019a11f6…

Using some of the tomatoes to make nam prik ong (น้ำพริกอ่อง) — a Northern Thai chili dip with tomatoes and minced pork. 🍅 Having it with rice tonight, though orecchiette would go really well with it. #siamstr #foodstr 📝 7c8eae33…

My neighbor dropped off these beautiful homegrown tomatoes and Thai eggplant. Not quite sure what to do with them yet. Fresh #sourdough bread is out of the oven, coffee is brewing, so I’ve got some time to think 😋☕ #foodstr

Valentine’s dinner 💕 Heart-shaped pasta with a rich meat sauce inspired by beef bourguignon, bolognese, and ragù. For dessert, I made a banoffee pie—dangerously good. We devoured it! Happy Valentine’s Day to you all! May the love be with you 💖 #foodstr
