Thai Chicken Patties

Thai Chicken Patties

These patties are made using the same recipe that is used to make Larb Gai - the hot and spicy Thai Chicken Salad :
400 Grams Boneless Thigh Meat
4 Birdseye Red Chilies ( Adjust )
6-8 Cloves of Garlic - Chopped
1/2 " Galanga - Minced.
1" Fresh & Tender Lemon Grass - Minced
1 Red Onion - Chopped.
1 Tablespoon Fish Sauce ( Will work well with a light Soy Sauce too ).
Juice of 2 Lemons ( adjust ).
Bunch of Mint and Basil Leaves .
Look out for the ' twist at the end !
Using a knife roughly chop the chicken to make a coarse mince . Shouldn't be fine .
Marinate and cling wrap the chicken in all the ingredients but for the greens & oil for a couple of hours to infuse flavors .
Shape patties fry them covered them in a non stick using very little oil for 3 minutes on each side . Fry covered to retain all juices .

Now the twist ! Once patties are done , remove from pan , retain the juices /oil left after cooking them . Add a bit more oil if needed then add some minced garlic to the oil , salt and black pepper or any chilli flavoring ... saute 30 seconds ,then add 1/2 cup orange juice / grape juice or some wine ... cook over high heat to reduce to a few tablespoons , taste and balance flavors - add salt , chili , sugar or lemon juice IF needed , then add the patties back , cook covered 2 minutes on low heat after coating with the sauce and serve with some delicious greens !

Stir Fried Bok Choy

Stir Fried Bok Choy

10 Baby Bok Choy - Separate some leave and leave some intact .
1 Small Onion - Thinly slice and fry till medium to dark brown , set aside to cool , it will become nice sweetish and crisp.

8-10 Cloves Garlic - Cut length wise and fry as above.

1 Teaspoon Minced Garlic

1/2 Tablespoon sesame oil.

Wash Bok Choy , retain a bit of water on them. Heat sesame oil ,add minced garlic and seasoning , when garlic begins to soften (30 seconds ? ) gently mix in bok choy , cover wok with a lid and 30 seconds later shut the flame . Keep lid on and let the greens cook under the heat within - 5 minutes max.When ready to serve - mix in fried onions and garlic and serve at once.You gets wonderful crunch and semi sweet garlicky flavors with each bite !

I keep a jar of fried onions and fried garlic handy at all times , which makes these dishes easy to prepare in under 6 minutes .

Larb Gai - Spicy Oriental Chicken Salad

One of my favorite Oriental salads , Larb Gai is a hot and spicy Thai Chicken Salad recipe and when served with crunchy vegetables you plate a harmonious balance of flavors colors and heat.Tweak the recipe to suit your palate - this works best when tangy and spicy .

400 Grams Boneless Thigh Meat

4 Birdseye Red Chilies ( Adjust )

6-8 Cloves of Garlic - Chopped

1/2 " Galanga - Minced.

1" Fresh & Tender Lemon Grass - Minced

1 Red Onion - Chopped.

1 Tablespoon Fish Sauce ( Will work well with a light Soy Sauce too ).

Juice of 2 Lemons ( adjust ).

Bunch of Mint and Basil Leaves .

Using a knife roughly chop the chicken to make a coarse mince . Shouldn't be fine .

Marinate and cling wrap the chicken in all the ingredients but for the greens & oil for a couple of hours to infuse flavors .

Heat a wok , add sesame oil and on very high heat cook the chicken mince for a minute . Reduce heat , cover wok and cook another 3-4 minutes till chicken is done.

Remove from heat , add half the mint and basil leaves , mix , and leave covered. The flavors will get infused deliciously , serve at room temperature or cool . Garnish with the balance herb leaves before serving . Absolutely delicious !

You can serve the salad on a bed of crispy leafy greens , or on bell pepper wedges. If using bell pepper wedges , oil them , and heat them up in a hot oven for 5- minutes , just enough for them to begin to weep but remain firm. Cool and spoon on the mince and serve .
