Curry Simple Lets You Make Curry In a Hurry
A few weeks ago the folks at Curry Simple sent us a care package containing several of their curry sauces. At first glance, I was a bit skeptical. Unlike most food packaging, there are no luscious shiny food photographs staring back at you; instead it's simply packaged in all white with plain writing.
Ethnic Eating Out Tips: Thai, Indian and French
Navigating through a restaurant menu is often tough, but it's even harder when you're navigating through yummy food that you're not totally familiar with. WebMD has created an easy choose/avoid list for the next time you eat Thai, Indian and French.
THAI: My personal take out favorite, but it's definitely tough to sort through the often extensive menus.
Southern (Indian) Thanksgiving
This story was written by member courtneyd and comes from the Kitchen Goddess group in the YumSugar Community.
For a few years now I've wanted to try to marry the traditional Southern Indian food my husband grew up enjoying with Thanksgiving as I know it (Southern girl with a love of spice and heat). So this year I did a trial run of a tandoori-style turkey made in the oven.
Your Political Leanings May Determine What's on Your Plate
Everyone says that you are what you eat. But could your political party affiliation be the driver of what goes on your plate, too? That's what food trend analyst Phil Lempert (of koodie fame) is arguing.
Monday's Leftovers: Thai Beef With Coconut Rice
Last night I made an Eastern European-inspired ground sirloin stew with egg noodles, and tonight I'm going to use the leftover beef to make something on the opposite end of the spectrum! I'm craving takeout, but — inspired by my recent successes — I'm going to continue my pattern of preparing Asian foods at home.
Spice up the sirloin with the help of minced garlic, lime, and Asian fish sauce, and wake up your senses with freshly-torn basil and julienned chiles.
Would You Rather Eat Thai Food or Tacos?
We're spoiled here at the Sugar HQ; on Thursdays we're usually on the receiving end of a giant taco bar. However, some of the folks are getting a little tired of tacos and so this week we decided to order up Thai food. Unfortunately there was a snafu, and both Thai and tacos were delivered.
Monday's Leftovers: Thai-Style Steak Salad
Giving leftovers a whole new taste — with seasonings from another culture — is a great way to make last night's meal more appetizing. For example, turn leftover African inspired harissa crusted tri-tip into a Thai-style steak salad.
The sliced steak is tossed with a lime soy oil.
Sunday Dinner: Drunken Noodles
For this week's Sunday night chicken dinner, I can't wait to apply the mainstream meat to a home-cooked Southeast Asian meal.
I love preparing ethnic foods at home, and this spicy noodle stir-fry, with its complex flavors, comes together in mere minutes, thanks to quick-cooking (and inexpensive) ground chicken.
Craving Thai takeout, sans the grease?
Malaysia's Saturday Night Market Is a Foodie Paradise
Recently reader FinnLover traveled to the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur. While visiting the vast city, she spent one Saturday night hitting up Little India's weekly street market. With its incredible diversity — there are stalls that serve Thai, Chinese, Malaysian, Western, and Indonesian cuisine — Finn describes the event as the "biggest food celebration ever."
Happy Hour: Sabai Sabai
A friend recently returned from Thailand with tales of lush beaches, charming fire dancers, and fragrant food. She fondly recalled extravagant full moon parties on the beach, where the country's official spirit, an amber-hued liquor known as Mekhong, flowed freely.
At this point, I can only dream of an escape to Ko Samui — but I can get a tiny taste of Thai nightlife through Mekhong, which became available Stateside last year.
