The mexican Food Culture: Tacos, Tortillas, Fajitas… What is what?
Hey there 😉
As you know I just started the mexican week; that`s why I got a bit confused reading all the stuff about tortillas, fajitas, tacos and so on. What`s the difference between all the types of mexican dishes and why are there three different sizes of tortillas? Oops, and what`s about Tex-Mex-Food?
Well, Continue reading
For the following week I chose…

My dinner of Saturday Night
Yesterday I had Yam Woon Sen glass noodle salad (https://1countryaweek.wordpress.com/2014/06/01/recipe-yam-woon-sen-thai-style-glassnoodle-salad/) and some Laab Namtok meat salad for dinner. I had some ground meat left from the lunch, so I used made Laab Namtok with a special seasoning mix and fresh peppermint. Loved it 🙂
Recipe: Yam Woon Sen – Thai Style Glassnoodle Salad

Sticky Rice with Coconut Milk and Mango
In Thailand, sticky rice with sweetened coconut milk and fresh mango is a common dish eaten for lunch or dinner. I love it and because of it`s sweetness I prefer eating it as dessert or for breakfast; it`s also delicious with strawberries or other fruits. If you use mango, use asian mango, it has just another taste then the south american mango.
Ingredients:
– Glutinous (sticky) rice, as much as you want
– 1 asian mango, sliced
– 1 cup coconut milk
– 5 tbsp sugar
1. Pre-soak the rice for at least 2 hours
2. Cook the rice in the rice steamer until it`s done.
3. Warm the coconut milk with the sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
Serve the rice hot or cold, how you like; in my opinion cold sticky rice is more delicious.
Except for Pad Thai Noodles and sweet dishes you often find Satay (small skewers with chicken or beef) on the street markets of Thailand. It`s served with a spicy peanut sauce and some jasmine rice. All people love satay: The ones who make it love the simple and super fast preparation and the people who buy and eat it like how delicious and easy to eat it is. One more plus is Continue reading
Homemade Coconut Ice Pops
Yesterday when I came home from jogging, I had a cold shower but I still felt quite warm. So I made a thai inspired ice pop with berries – yummy! I have a “machine” that you can cool down to make ice pops within 5 mins, but before buying that I used to make it with common ice-pop-makers and it was delicious too. You can experiment with the ingredients, but I used:
– some coconut milk, 1:1 with water
–1 teasp. sugar per ice pop
– some frozen raspberries and blueberries
