FREE Thai Food E-Books! No purchase required…
Sawasdee Ka!
I just finished writing a new page here at the blog… in the upper left hand side you can see it - “FREE Thai Food E-Books!”.
We decided to just give away both of our e-books for free since we’ll be able to have more people see them and enjoy them!
If you don’t know what an e-book is, it’s simply a Word file with photos and nice formatting converted into an Adobe PDF format that you can read on your computer, PDA, phone, or maybe even your watch. It makes the files easy to read on electronic readers too - you may have heard about Microsoft’s and Amazon’s new readers. They are e-book readers designed specially for reading e-books.
If you want to get both e-books here are the links below…

OK OK! I will tell you now, why we called it “Chili Paste from heaven”.
This paste is less spicy. That’s all.
There is also Nam Prig Narok, which means “Chili Paste from hell”. Can you imagine how spicy it would be? Mae Pranom Brand has both of them, if you want to try.

Thai Food Ingredient: Dry Red Chili
Thai Food Ingredients: Dried Red Chili Pepper!
Thai Food: Dried Red Chili Pepper
This is one of the prime ingredients and spices in so many food dishes we eat here in Thailand. Every breakfast my husband and I add this to our “Gwit Diao” pork noodle soup. Along with a dash of fish sauce it really helps to flavor the broth. We love spicy almost all the time - so eating this for breakfast is not a big deal… It’s a habit! I think this red chili might be addictive. There are many types of red chili powder that you’ll find at the market or at the Asian market in your city at home. There are different levels of spiciness too! Experiment and buy some different types until you find one that tastes good to you and is the level of spicy that you like!
Here are some Thai foods we love red chili powder in:
Gwit Diao Moo or Gai (Noodle soup with pork (moo) or chicken (gai)
Kow Tom Moo ( Rice soup with pork, some scallions, garlic and pickled radish)
Pad Thai (Spicy stir-fry noodles)
Pad Csi Iw (Stir fried thick noodles)
Kanom Jin (Noodles with curry)
Bla-Rah sauce (fermented fish/crab sauce)
and many more, but our dinner is getting cold as I write this!
