Top 5 reasons I love Everyday Thai Cooking:
1. I don’t cook enough Thai cuisine and this book reminded me how easy it can be.
2. My kids marked over half the book’s recipes that they want me to make.
3. The cookbook inspired me to add a few new flavorful ingredients to my pantry like fish sauce and hoison sauce.
4. The mango and prawn salad is one of the tastiest things I’ve made for brunch in weeks.
5. Katie Chin is an all around dynamic gal and she wrote an amazing book. So proud of you, my friend!
From Katie:
When Catherine told me her son loves spice I knew he would love this recipe for Chicken Satay with Spicy Peanut Sauce. It’s super easy to make and older kids can help skewer the chicken. My toddler twins like to call them Thai tacos since you wrap the chicken up into lettuce leaves. I like to make this as a snack after soccer practice because it’s loaded with lean protein and fun to eat. The spicy peanut sauce recipe calls for 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes so reduce the amount or omit altogether for young kids.

- 1 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced

- In a small saucepan, combine the peanut butter, coconut milk, curry paste, lime juice, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir to combine, and heat over medium-low heat until the mixture begins to simmer, stirring constantly. Transfer to a small serving bowl and top with the crushed peanuts.
- Note: You can add more coconut milk if you prefer a thinner sauce.
Definitely Thai food, though we also love everything from Indian food to Chinese and Meditteranean and African cuisines, too!
Did my previous comment post? My family loves all types of Asian food.
Pho, pho and more pho! My kids love it! That’s Vietnamese for those who have never had it. :o)
This looks like a great recipe. One question: in the comments before the recipe directions you say the recipe for the peanut sauce calls for crushed red pepper, but it isn’t listed in the ingredients. There is red curry powder, but not red pepper. Mistake, omission, or other?
We love all Asian cuisines: Chinese dumplings, Japanese noodles and Korean kalbi. It’s all delicious!
We love to try new things! Can’t wait to try this with my family!
My families favorite would Mexican Food. So good.
My family enjoys Thai seafood soup (sometimes called Tom Yum) and green curried vegetables (including eggplant) and tofu.
This would be awesome to try w the family. Great recipe – cool!
