(Almost) I love Thai food, but with all the rice and noodles and other stuffs … it seemed impossible. After conquering the bread, I thought I’ll take on Thai. Seems like a worthwhile project, don’t you think?

I know what you’re thinking … Noodles. And that most prominently in the picture. Those are for that favourite sister of mine (the one that I keep mentioning ever so often).

• shrimps
• broccoli
• red peppers
• mushrooms
• water chestnut (sister)
• noodles (sister)
• easy-peasy curry powder (also sister)
• anything in the spice cabinet that could be mistaken for Asian
• coconut oil
• 2 cans of coconut milk
• Cilantro (loads of it; and I mean it)

As with all recipes … clean everything and cut into pieces (shape and size as preferred). Start with frying the shrimps in a bit of coconut oil. Add the peppers, mushrooms and the broccoli (and the water chestnuts). Next the coconut milk. Loads of it. And let simmer for a little while.

In the meantime you can ‘collect’ all the spices that you want to use: pepper, salt, chili powder, lemongrass, thai basil, kaffir lime leaves, sugar = for me). And ordinary – I buy my stuff ready made – for my sister.

Drain and rinse the noodles and add to one of the pots.

Wash, dry and cut the cilatro and add a generous amount of it to each of them.

Enjoy.
