Deb,
Try Sriracha on a Thai Omelet for breakfast--that's heavenly. Everytime
we're in Thailand that's our breakfast of choice. First gulped them down
about 12 years ago up in Chiang Rai or was it Mae Hong Song. Never mind,
here's what you do to make this quick easy and tasty omelet.
Take a little ground pork fry, drain fat and add:
Sliced shallot, a few sliced Phrik Kee Neu (Thai chiles) to your taste and a
splash of Nam Plaa (fish sauce/Three Crabs is the best, Tiporas is good as
well) and saute lightly.
Whisk 2 or 3 eggs w/ a little water. Pour into saute pan. Sprinkle w/white
pepper and a touch of salt if you want. Now toss on your sauted
pork-chiles-shallot mixture, and a few fresh Krapao leaves. A nice addition
is blanched Winged Beans. They are added with the Krapao.
A wonderful garnish for this and many other Thai dishes is quickly deep fried
Krapoa leaves. The taste and crunchy texture is a delight.
My applogies for posting this recipe to those that have "all" the Thai
recipes.
