I’m making green curry paste (พริกแกงเขียวหวาน) and would love to share the recipe with you 😊 You can go the easy route with a hand blender, or do it the traditional Thai way with a stone mortar and pestle — it brings out so much more flavor! If you love spice, toss in some green bird’s eye chilies for that extra kick 🔥 If you can’t find Thai green chili peppers, green serrano chilies make a great substitute. Enjoy cooking! #foodstr #siamstr

Chicken Teriyaki Onigiri (チキン照り焼きおにぎり) 🍙 Kawaii-ne?” (かわいいね？) ☺️ #foodstr

🐕🧡🥥

It’s been raining a lot the past few days. All the plants look fresh and happy, especially the Italian basil. I snipped a few sprigs to add to the marinara sauce, then simply stuck them back in the pot. With all this rain, they’ll grow back in no time. It’s raining again now—a perfect lazy day for the girls. The kitchen smells so good, with tomato sauce gently bubbling and the scent of freshly picked basil in the air. #foodstr #dogstr

The loud thunderstorm kept this poor girl up all night. 😔

Hachis Parmentier – the French version of shepherd’s pie 🇫🇷 Comforting, flavorful, and hearty. Layers of seasoned minced meat and creamy-buttery mashed potatoes, baked until golden and crisp around the edges. Old-school comfort, straight from the oven. 😌 #foodstr

Rainy day baking 🌧️ A warm whole wheat loaf with cinnamon and green raisins — soft, hearty, and just sweet enough. The whole house smells like a big, cozy hug. #foodstr

Did you just say ‘treats’?

It’s a slow, rainy day here, and I’m leaning into the pace. The girls are napping on their beds—sleepy heads! I prepared the gyoza filling earlier, then took a seat and patiently folded each one. I made a big batch so I can freeze some and enjoy them later. At the same time, I pan-fried a few for a light lunch this afternoon. #foodstr

I unintentionally left the dough in the fridge for about a week. The oven spring wasn’t great, but the crumb structure turned out surprisingly good. As for the flavor—it really surprised me! I was expecting it to be super tangy after such a long proof, but it wasn’t at all. Instead, it had just a mild tang and a more robust, hearty flavor from the dark rye. I toasted a slice, slathered it with plenty of butter, drizzled on some honey, and finished it with a generous touch of sea salt. Simple and delicious! #sourdough #foodstr

A little birthday treat for the birthday boy — beef bourguignon, pomme purée, and some fresh #sourdough loaf 🎈 #foodstr

Cantonese Soy Sauce Chicken (豉油雞, See Yao Gai) – tender, juicy chicken infused with a rich, savory, and aromatic soy sauce-based broth. I added a little Thai twist to the dipping sauce — a flavorful mix of chili, palm sugar, fish sauce, garlic, coriander roots, and lime. #foodstr
