Season with soy sauce. Mix in scallions and basil. Transfer to serving dish. Top with egg.
Stir fried beef in oyster sauce
Another simple and delicious Thai dish. I served this over brown rice, as requested by my son. I also made some fried wontons to go with. That recipe will not make it here as it was a complete and total failure… hey at least I can admit when things don’t go as planned!
You’ll need~
1lb round steak
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp cornstarch
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp chopped garlic
1 tbsp chopped ginger root

1/2 can baby corn
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp sugar
4 scallions, chopped into smallish pieces
red pepper flakes
Slice steak into long thin strips on the diagonal.
Mix soy sauce and cornstarch, add steak and coat it well. Cover and marinade for a couple hours.
Heat half the oil in a wok (or frying pan). Add ginger and garlic and cook for a couple of minutes. Drain the juice off the steak and toss it in the wok. Stir it up! Cook until the steak is browned and tender, just a couple of minutes. Remove and set aside.
Heat the rest of the oil in the skillet. Add the mushrooms, bamboo shoots and baby corn and stir fry over med. heat until golden brown.
Return the steak to the wok and mix well. Add oyster sauce and sugar. Stir it up. Add the red pepper flakes and toss until it’s all combined. Stir in the scallions and serve!

Tasty chicken satay
I am half Thai, but had never cooked Thai food. I was always very intimidated by it. Earlier this year we went to visit my father in law and his Thai wife. She made dinner for us, and I was astounded at how easy, and fast it was. Upon returning home, I decided to start cooking Thai, and try to make Thai meals several times a month.
Satay Gai (chicken satay)
Chicken Satay
4 skinless boneless breast portions
Marinade
2 cloves crushed garlic
1 in piece finely grated ginger root
2 tsp Thai Fish Sauce
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp clear honey
satay sauce
6 tbsp crunchy peanut butter
1 red chili, seeded and finely chopped
juice of one lime
4 tbsp coconut milk
salt
Make the satay sauce. Put all ingredients into the food processor and blend til smooth. Check seasoning. Add more lime or salt if needed. Cover and set aside.
Slice chicken breasts into 4 long strips each.
Combine all marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Stir well. Add chicken strips. Toss well until well coated. Cover for at least 30 minutes in refrigerator. soak 16 wooden satay sticks (or kebab skewers) in water.
Preheat grill or broiler to high. Drain sticks or skewers. Drain chicken. Thread one strip of chicken on each skewer. Grill for 3 minutes on each side, or until chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Serve immediately with satay sauce.
This was delicious. My family was upset that I didn’t make more!
