Took a Thai Cooking class here in Chiang Mai. We started the day by going to the local market with our teacher Wee. We got to ask her all kinds of questions about every wierd thing we saw and she explained different herbs and spices to us. It was fantastic to have our own personal guide in the market! We tasted lots of strange, some unpleasant things. We had local coffee which has sweetened condensed milk in it....yum!
The dishes I made were Pad Thai, Pad Sei Ew, Green curry paste, red curry paste, curry noodles, green curry soup, spring rolls and sticky rice with mango. All super yummy and we got to eat all our own food and made a little recipe book to go with it. A fantastic experience!!!
The things on the banana leaves are ant eggs. Grose right?
Red curry paste. We had to beat the crap out of this for a long time before it was ready. Then you only add about 1/2 tsp to one dish and its very spicy!
Tofu
The red egg is a duck egg and the other one was just putrid!!! Both smelled like ass.
Mango with coconut sticky rice for dessert.
Beginning the green curry soup
