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…

4. After that, add shrimps, pineapple, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar, ketchup and thai pepper powder.

6. The taste should be sweet, sour and a salty.

Pad Priao Wan (Sour and Sweet Stir-Fry) is another colorful Thai food recipe for the children and everyone that loves sweet and sour food. It is also good for any of you who is on diet program. Just skip the shrimps and add less oil in the food. Broccoli and carrot can be added if you love more vegetables. 
I love to put a lot of fresh tomatoes in my Pad Priao Wan because it helps provide me a nice, fresh, radiant and smooth skin!!
In Thai restaurants you may find this food but they would cook it with crispy fried fish.

1 handful cut Chinese celery
2 tbsp. sliced red chili pepper
2 handful thin sliced lemongrass

Some people ground fresh garlic and red chili pepper first to get the red color, I didn’t.
3. After you get it at the taste you like, place sliced cabbage on the big plate, then salted eggs come after. You may choose Salted Red Yolk from my previous recipe: Salted Red Egg Yolks >>>
4. Throw together tomatoes, onion and celery. Next, pour sauce from step 2 and serve with boiled plain rice.
Last week, my colleague got went back home in Chaiya, Surat Thani where it is famous for salted eggs. Her family owns a business selling salted eggs in the area by Suam Mohk, meditation center. When she came back to work, we all got 1 small box of salted duck eggs with OTOP logo. (This OTOP logo means “One Tumbon One Product”- good quality).
I promised to her and the girl working at the shop next door that I will cook ยำไข่เค็ม (Yum Kai Kem) for them if we share all ingredients cost. They gave me 10 Baht each so I got 30 Baht total. That’s enough for this recipe as we already had 6 salted eggs from my friends. I finished it with big praise for myself by myself! haha :P
I was so sad that day I didn’t have the camera with me and I don’t know when will be the next time until I cook again.
