Australian Mother’s Day is coming. I would like to dedicate this biscuit recipe to my mother-in-law, and I think this would be a good gift idea for your mother too. One of my colleagues brought these biscuits to work recently. As soon as I tried one I said “May I have a recipe please?”. Trying a new recipe is one of my favourite things to do. This recipe doubles up from the original recipe. It makes around 50 single biscuits (25 if you pair them together and put the filling in the middle), but this recipe just uses single biscuits with icing on top. Trust me 50 are not too many! These are small biscuits which melt in your mouth and will be gone so quickly. I thank my colleague for her recipe. Now she has moved overseas so she hasn’t tried my biscuits yet, but I hope she will give me a good

Shrimp paste is a common ingredient in Southeast Asia. For Thai cuisine we use it as an ingredient in chilli paste, and to make a chilli sauce called “Namh Prik Ka-Pi”. Today I will present you with a different dish named “Kow Pad Namh Prik Ka-Pi ข้าวผัดน้ำพริกกะปิ” which is fried rice with chilli shrimp paste. I think it similar to the Malaysian nasi goreng.

Ground roasted rice, or Khao Khua (ข้าวคั่ว), is a significant ingredient in Northeastern Thailand (Isaan) cuisine such as Larb Kai/Moo ลาบไก่/หมู (Chicken/Pork minced salad) and Nam Tok น้ำตก (Northeastern spicy salad ). I usually use it to make “Nam Jimh” (Chilli dipping) alongside many of my dishes, such as BBQ pork skewers and Grilled chicken thai style. It also works with fusion cuisines, such as in a steak dipping sauce. This is creates a roasted, nutty flavour and adds texture to the dishes.
This is very easy to make. You will need

I introduced this famous Thai food in Street vendor food in my kitchen before. If you have been to Thailand I’m very sure you have seen the food vendors beside the street, with the owner grilling pork skewers on the hot charcoal stove with the smoke and smell drifting 100 meters away. This is one of my preferred street foods, and this is how I cook it in my kitchen.
