Ok, I admit it...I don't know if these are really Thai. I wanted to make a pork skewer dish but didn't bother to look up a recipe. Instead I channelled my inner Thai chef and came up with this damn tasty dish.

How to Cook Genuine Sour, Spicy Tom Yum Goong (Thai Tom Yum Prawn Soup)
Peel prawns, removing heads and shells but not the tails. De-vein around a dozen prawns. While you are doing this, boil 4 cups of chicken stock.
Cockle Shells (blood cockle)
Let me start of by saying I absolutely love love love these little shellfish. It's almost a fetish for me, made much more severe due to the fact that I am not able to get these shellfish in Sydney (until today). I only get to eat them when I go back to Singapore, but when I do I can go quite mad with greed. I've been known to buy 4kg to share between four friends in one sitting...we unfortunately were only able to eat half of that amount.

Thai Pork Pad Krapow
This is my "go to" Thai dish and incorporates three of the four Thai flavours of Sour, Spicy, Sweet, Salty. Whenever I go to Thailand, I eat this dish regularly and I've eaten it anywhere from street side stalls to hotels (room service). I like to order a hot bowl of Tom Yum Goong to go along with it.
Thai Glass Noodles with Beef and Bok Choy
This is a simple but absolutely delicious meal I made for dinner at home one evening. I hadn't eaten Thai food in some time, and one of my favourite Thai ingredients is glass noodles. However with the only food left in the fridge being beef, I decided to go ahead and pair the two together.
The result was a contemporary dish which gave me the punchy Thai flavours I had been longing for combined with the satisfaction of thickly sliced beef.
For the Noodles
Soak the glass noodles in tap water for five minutes.
Meanwhile, slow fry garlic, dried prawns, ginger, lemon grass until fragrant. Add the glass noodles to the fragrant oil and continue frying until they become transparent. Add more water if the noodles become too dry. Finally stir in sesame oil and fish sauce to taste. Chopped chilli, a squeeze of lime and plenty of spring onions added on top give the flavours a lift.
For the Beef
Marinade the beef with sufficient salt and white pepper. Pan fry like a steak, making sure not to overcook it. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing thickly and adding a squeeze of lime.
Cook the Bok Choi in boiling water for one minute and assemble dish.
