I wanted to have more green asparagus and since we all loved the Thai curry with it the other day, I had another go at this dish. I presented it differently this time and I think it works much better this way. Yum!
Ok a Thai friend took me to a Thai place in LA for Thai spicy, and let's just say it's 2x spicier than Thai spicy in SF (even at my fave places, ordered in Thai)... and as spicy as in Isaan, Thailand.
Germans like asparagus, but not so much the green stuff but lots and lots of white asparagus. Growing up I was never too much of a fan, it was edible but nothing that I would want to cook myself. Until I discovered green asparagus in the UK. I’ve loved it since and I think it’s much easier to deal with than the white spears. It also features in East Asian cuisine, so what’s not to like!
Photo 1: As it’s asparagus season I have made fried green asparagus with a Thai style red curry from an actual Thai curry paste (not one of those limp versions sold in German supermarkets for three times the price). It was spicy despite a whole tin of coconut milk but oh so good. For a while Thai food was my favourite go to East Asian cuisine in restaurants and this dish reminded me of those days. 🥰
Photo 2: Yesterday we had an East Asian style mushroom dish that was fine but not that exciting. But it definitely contributed to my plan to eat more than 30 plants a week. I have kept track since Monday and can report that the total is now at 54 different plants which I didn’t quite expect.
Another busy day is over. I was cycling almost 19 km - in #Bangkok 😮💨 Now I’m enjoying (Southern?) #ThaiFood. Spicy, but delicious. This is, by the way, a good spot to have a dinner.
One of my favorite dishes is Thai style coconut curry. Seems that apart from the chili peppers the basic recipe has been pretty consistent for over 2000 years!
