The following are a couple of Thai recipes that I have taken from a book, "Totally Chile Pepper Cookbook" by Helene Siegel and Karen Gillingham from Celestial Arts (standard disclaimer), and have really enjoyed. So I thought that I would pass them on. I am sure that they are not on the same par as the Colonel's, but you have to start somewhere. Thai BBQ Sauce I have used this on chicken, steak, tuna and shrimp with equally fantastic results. The measurements in ()'s are my modifications to the origin. I found that that amount of fish sauce was overpowering. 3 (4) tbsp. Good quality soy sauce 4 tbsp. (2 tsp.) fish sauce 3 tbsp. lime juice 2 tsp. sugar 1 tsp. fresh ginger, minced 3 Thai or serrano chiles, minced 2 tbsp. green onion, minced 1 tbsp. cilantro, chopped Additionally, I add about 4 cloves of garlic, minced. Add all ingredients to a blender or a food processor with a metal blade. Pulse the ingredients together to mix well. Marinate the food of your choice for at least an hour. Then throw that stuff on the grill! A variation on the above recipe is one that I used when I found out that I was all out of soy sauce and lime juice. For the soy sauce, I substituted teriyaki (sp) sauce and for the lime juice I used an equal amount of Apple-Cider vinegar with habaneros soaking in it. It was very good with grilled chicken. Thai Fried Rice 4 tbsp. vegetable oil (I used chile oil) 2 eggs, beaten 2 Serrano chiles, diced 1 clove garlic, minced 3 scallions, thinly sliced 1 1/2 cups canned mixed vegetables (This is not called for in the original recipe) 3 cups cold cooked rice 1 tsp. fish sauce or to taste Heat 2 tbsp. of oil in wok over high heat. Stir fry the garlic, onions and chiles until slightly softened, about 1 minute. Stir in mixed veggies, eggs and fish sauce. Continue to stir until eggs are fully cooked. Finally stir in cold cooked rice. Continue to stir to ensure that the rice does not stick and that it gets evenly coated with other ingredients. Heat rice thoroughly and served. Serves 4. I hope that you find these recipes to be as good for you as they were for me. George J.
