Shrimp Pad Thai

Shrimp Pad Thai

Shrimp Pad Thai, an effortless yet exquisite meal. It’s a shame that a majority of us go for take-out. Just think about how we could make these noodles right at home in less than 30 minutes. I know one thing for sure, this meal will be far healthier. You can use whatever ingredients your heart desires within the making.  Well, I have a variety of comfort foods read more

Oven Roasted Thai Cauliflower Steaks

Oven Roasted Thai Cauliflower Steaks

Cauliflower has always had a special place in my kitchen—whether it’s raw, pickled, or deep-fried, I’ve loved it in all forms. But when it came to cooked cauliflower, I had a bit of a challenge. My family wasn’t exactly on board… until I started roasting read more

Thai Hummus Pizza with Butternut Squash and Vegetarian Sausages

Let’s make Thai Hummus Pizza with Butternut Squash and Vegetarian Sausages.

My family loves pizza—I mean, who doesn’t? But this one is definitely not your traditional slice. It’s a fun, flavorful twist that’s completely plant-based and packed with bold Thai-inspired flavors. And to my surprise, my family keeps asking for it more and more!

Pizza can take on so many forms, and while we all have our favorites, this Thai Hummus Pizza is now high on our list. I used Thai Coconut Curry hummus from HOPE, which adds a deliciously creamy texture and just the right amount of spice. It’s unique, a little bold, and absolutely addictive.

For toppings, I went with roasted butternut squash and Field Roast Vegetarian Sausages—specifically the Mexican Chipotle flavor for that extra kick.

I still can’t get over how much these sausages taste like the real thing. If you’re trying to cut down on meat or just want to mix it up, this is a fantastic option.

Meatless recipes you might like

Of course, what’s a pizza without cheese? We used Daiya Mozzarella Style Shreds, a dairy-free alternative that melts, bubbles, and stretches just like regular cheese. But if you’re not avoiding dairy, feel free to use your favorite mozzarella or mix of cheeses for pizza. This pizza is incredibly versatile.

I aim to make meatless meals at least twice a week, and dishes like this one (and my recent Vegetable Hummus Pizza) make it easy and exciting.

This Thai-inspired version is especially great for weekends when you want something fun but still nourishing.

By the way, this isn’t a sponsored post—I did receive HOPE hummus to try, but I wasn’t paid to post about it. I’m just genuinely excited to share something that turned out so well and has become a repeat request in our house!

Thai Hummus Pizza with Butternut Squash and Vegetarian Sausages

You can of course use any other hummus or make your own. I think it is a wonderful sub for a sauce.

Thai Chicken Noodle Stir Fry Recipe

Lately, I have been craving Thai food, especially noodles. I should have called my blog “Sandra’s Daily Craving”.

Most of the stuff that I crave end up here on my blog either the next day or in a few days, just like this Thai Chicken Noodle Stir Fry. After reading my new cookbook about Thai Cuisine, I knew what I will make to satisfy these crazy cravings.

Thai Peanut Chicken Noodle Stir Fry Recipe

I find inspiration in so many cookbooks, however, I just never follow instructions. I make my own and slightly adapt from the original recipe. I love experimenting in my kitchen so I feel like that is why I have a hard time following it. Well, cooking is all about pleasing your own taste buds so you got to feel, taste, smell and listen as well to accomplish ultimate success in the kitchen.

Author Sandra | Sandra’s Easy Cooking

Ingredients

  • 1 Lb Chicken Breast thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Soy sauce light
  • 2 teaspoons Cornstarch or flour
  • 1/2 cup Chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon Thai fish Sauce
  • 3 oz Garlic Chives or few scallions chopped
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil read notes
  • 3/4 inch galangal or fresh ginger chopped
  • 1-2 tablespoons red curry paste or you may use green as a substitute
  • 1/2 cup dry unsalted roasted peanuts coarsely chopped
  • Juice of Half Lime
  • Noodles

Garnish options:

  • chives or green part of scallions
  • cilantro
  • More Peanuts
  • Red chili peppers

Instructions

  1. Slice the chicken breast into 1 1/2 x1/2 inch strips (4x1cm) and place it in the shallow dish. Sprinkle with soy sauce, cornstarch or flour -tossing well to coat. Cover and let it marinate from 30 minutes or less. It can be in the fridge covered for 24 hours. The more it marinades the deeper the flavor from soy sauce.
  2. Combine the stock, fish sauce, trim the chives and chop into 3/4-inch (2 cm) lengths, or chop scallions.
  3. Cook the noodles according to the package. Egg noodles would be great (read notes). Drain and‚ return to the pan; toss with 1 tablespoon of oil.
  4. Heat the wok or frying pan over high heat, then use‚ remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the chicken and cook until it is no longer pink, so 3-5 minutes stir-frying, turn the chicken slices few times.
  5. Add chopped ginger and curry paste, stir fry for an additional minute or so. Pour over chicken stock mixture and stir, until boiling point. Add cooked noodles and toss until all the noodles are coded with the sauce. Add chives or scallions(or both), half chopped peanuts and stir until chives are wilted.
  6. Squeeze lime juice and add rest of the peanuts; toss the noodles to combine everything. Garnish with more chives(or scallions), red chilies if desired and/or cilantro. Serve immediately!

Recipe Notes

If you have peanut allergies, please omit peanuts completely and also use oil that you have on hand. Noodles: I tried this dish with egg noodles as well as with Soba noodles, I know it is Japanese noodle but it was really good with both.

You can use Rice if you wish too. Green or Red Curry-it is up to your preferences and what you have on hand. I actually liked it with both, however being a lover of food with the heat I liked it just bit more with red curry paste.

Meat/poultry: Actually original recipe was calling for Lamb, I used chicken more than few times and pork too. Again it is up to your preferences and budget, you will not go wrong either way.

Fish Sauce: Fish sauce or Nam Pla is an Asian condiment made by fermenting fish and shellfish. It has a salty, slightly sour but very savory flavor and is associated with Thai Cuisine, which is known for its balance of sweet, salty, hot and sour. If you are allergic to shellfish only, then you could try using a few drops of Worcestershire sauce which are made with anchovies and tamarind, that will add some sourness with the company of lime juice of course.

However, Worcestershire sauce tends to be very strong so you need to use it a bit at the time. Another great alternative is soy sauce which will give a similar savory flavor, again with a bit of lime juice it will help with the sour element.

Thai Chicken and Asparagus

Thai food ain’t about simplicity. It’s about the juggling of disparate elements to create a harmonious finish. Like a complex musical chord it’s got to have a smooth surface but it doesn’t matter what’s happening underneath. Simplicity isn’t the dictum here, at all. Some westerners read more

Thai Beef Stir-Fry over Brown Rice

Thai Beef Stir-Fry over Brown Rice

I am feeling great about this series and to have you virtually over for Tuesday Dinners with moi. I was looking into dinner ideas, and what I could share next that I’ve not shared yet on my blog… and then a Thai recipe came to my mind! With your positive response a few weeks ago about green chicken curry,  I was pretty confident that this could be to go recipe for your next dinner.

I love spicy food, and I cannot get enough of it, so beef stir-fry was heavenly for me. Since my hubs’ is working an owl shift in a hospital this was actually lunch for us. When kids come back from school and on those days that he has to go to work, we have late family lunches together instead of formal dinners. Actually, to tell you the truth I don’t like formal dinners, except when it’s some kind of holiday such as “Thanksgiving Day”
Most people that know me they know that I am not a traditional person, nor formal, I like the phrase “less mess, less stress” and the most of all I love simple dinners such as this one.
Whether you like Thai food, or not you can change a few things and make it your own just like I did. The recipe was calling for mint, pork, and lime, and I used watercress since I needed peppery, tangy flavor, I used lemon, and beef, so you see just by using few different ingredients you can make it your own flavorful meal.
I don’t think that I ruined the recipe since it tasted great and perfect for a stress-free dinner.
