When I think of Thai food, the coconut-y curry is the first thing that comes to mind. Once I’ve made this for people, I get repeat requests to make it again. The great thing about this Guessipe is it’s super flexible – pick whichever curry paste you like best – panang, green, red, yellow, etc….

Dry-Fried Green Beans
This was the only way I’d ever eaten green beans for a long time, so I kind of thought it was the only way Chinese people ever cooked them. Even if it’s not the only way, I’m pretty sure it’s the most common way. And for good reason – it’s simple and delicious. Guessipe 1…

Korean Slaw
Korean slaw has all of the crunchy freshness of coleslaw, but with the spicy kick of kimchi (without having to wait for days of fermentation). It’s also great for using up bits and bobs of fresh veggies. I threw in some carrots and green beans because I happened to have some that needed using up,…
