Any spicy thai food recipes from personal experience?

Hi everyone... I'm wondering if we have any thai food experts out there?

I've been cooking thai food for about 2 years now and I've searched every website I could find but I am still having trouble getting authentic recipes that are even slightly close to restaurant quality food.

Anyone have any SPICY thai recipes that they have made personally?? Let me know...

And no...pad thai is not what I am looking for...

Thanks...

MARK

Mark,

I highly recommend Learn Thai Cooking - ThaiTable.com - deep knowledge of Thai food - I haven't made anything too spicy off there, but I absolutely love both of the bbq pork recipes that they have listed there.

I appreciate that...

I am specifically looking for authentic basil chicken dishes. I have tries numerous recipes online (including Kasma-Loha's), but none are even close to restaurant quality.

Thank you for your time!

Lawanwadee:

I wanted to stop by and let you know that I tried this recipe and it was actually very nice...

From experience I swapped some of the regular soy sauce for a sweet soy sauce and the flavor was very close to a recipe I have tasted at one of my favorite local thai restaurants! I also added some flat rice noodles, green and red peppers and onions....excellent dish!!

Thank you very much for posting it!!

MARK

Whatever you do Mass, don't put Kikkoman Teriyaki Miso sauce on your food. My son says that this is Japanese Drano!! It is extremely, extremely hot. I bought this by mistake on day instead of the Kikkoman Traditional Teriyaki and my son hit the ceiling and had me take it back to the store.

The Kikkoman Traditional Teriyaki sauce is a wonderful concoction that you might like. I love it. It is very flavorful and a sweet soy sauce with sesame seeds in it. I like it over just plain white rice.

It's a bit pricey at around $4 a bottle, but well worth it. It makes any Oriental or Asian dish taste great.
