As promised, I’ve just posted two of the recipes I made last night: Thai Chicken Wings and Peanut Sauce. I’ll be posting my Som Tam style cabbage salad later today or tomorrow. 

In the meantime, here’s my recipe for Thai spiced coconut jasmine rice:

1 1/2 C jasmine rice

1/2 t each of: ground coriander, galangal, ginger, garlic, lemongrass, ancho chile powder, black pepper, cayenne. 

Fry the spices and rice in a little vegetable oil until the spices are toasty. Add in 1 1/2 C coconut milk and 1 1/2 C chicken broth. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a low simmer and cover for 20 minutes. Fluff and serve. Garnish with chopped cilantro leaves and peanut sauce.

1. Two slowcooked chicken legs( 3 hours at 280 degrees Fahrenheit) cooked in Chili garlic sauce
2. let the legs cool all the way
3. cook a blend of brown rice, red lentils, and barley. Ratio 3:1:2 for a hardy nutritious, inexpensive and very filling accompaniment. 
4. once Chicken is cool; tear it off the bone. I do mean tear it. Put in your serving bowl and add another small spoonful of chili garlic sauce (I swear by Lee Kum Kee’s) and at least two squeezes of mayo. I know this part seems odd, but the creamy sweetness plays beautifully with the chicken.
5. then combine your cooked grains, if the mixture is too dry adjust with garlic sauce and or mayo, though I prefer to tweak the garlic sauce.

follow the instructions for brown rice when you cook this, the lentils will break down almost purely for color and barley cooks very fast in comparison to brown rice.

Why faggot rice? Because who else would mix all them grains? And it’s my recipe so I’ll call it what I want.
