My Home Recipe

Sweet and sour Thai style cooking look very simple but I still do not know how to make it yet. The only ingredients I know about this cooking is using mango, lemon juice, beancurd only. Maybe I should just buy the sweet and sour sauce from the market and topping on the bean curd will do. Haha..this is the most easy and simple dish if I am using the sweet and sour sauce, because I only have to fry the bean curd. That is simple.

This is my favorite dish. A very simple and easy to prepare dish. Egg will always is my favorite ingredient. Above Steamed Eggs is a little bit different with the Steamed Egg With Minced Meat I post in recipe blog. THe minced meat has become a topping in this dish. Added mushroom, spring onion and oyster sauce as well. The taste is totally different with the one I posted before.

I have forget what the name of this dish is. It is a Thai style salad that is taste spicy and sour. Main ingredients include green mango, chili, peanuts and lime juice. I like this very much, it should be the best side order if you want to enjoy beer. I used to have this when I gather with friend and have a drink.
