Pad Ka-Lam Plee is a straightforward yet flavorful dish of wok-fried cabbage, enhanced by the aromatic crunch of fried garlic. This simple preparation highlights the natural sweetness of the cabbage while the garlic adds a savory, crispy dimension.
Tao Hoo Pad Gratiam Dong features stir-fried tofu cooked with aromatic fermented garlic. This dish delivers a rich, savory flavor profile, with the garlic imparting a deep, umami essence that complements the crispy-fried tofu.
Gaeng Massamun is a rich Southern Thai curry known for its complex flavors and aromatic spices. Originally paired with roasted cauliflower and sweet potato on the menu, I opted to substitute the cauliflower with roasted chicken, resulting in a hearty dish that went well with steamed rice.
