แกงเผ็ดปลาดุก Spicy catfish

What you need:

- Red curry or Hot curry paste (4 tbsp)

- Thai egg plant (optional)

- Vegetable oil (2tbsp)

- Chilli

- Cat fish

-Coconut milk

- Fish sauce

- Bamboo shoot

- Pepper seed

- Lime leaves

On medium heat, mix the curry paste with vegetable oil.

On the side, cut egg plants and prepare fish, chillies as below.

Back to the pot, put 1 cup of coconut milk and mix well.

Boil fish in the water for 10 seconds to get rid of fishy smell.

Put bamboo shoot (from a can), egg plants, fish into the mix of curry sauce.

Add 2 more cups of coconut milk and put on high heat. Don't stir too much or fish will fall apart.

One fish is cooked, put in Basil leaves.

and pepper seed. I also put in ginger but it's really not necessary.  This is the step where you mix a bit of sugar and fish sauce to the taste you like.

Slice lime leave and put in the end.

Here it is OMG YUM!

Steak yakitori

This might not be the best in town but at least I got the taste and texture right.

What you need:
- New york steak 1 lbs

For marinating sauce, each skewer will use different sauce.
- Soy sauce
- Wasabi (I used a wasabi in a tube)
- Miso paste
- Hawaiian BBQ sauce
- Teriyaki
- Ponzu
- Curry powder + salt
- Garlic + Pepper + Soy sauce

See picture for some brands I use below:

p.s. the apricot jar is actually a hawaiian sauce I got from my friend :D

Start with getting a meat ready by cutting it into a strip shape thick enough to put on a skewer. I usually cut across so each stick will get both skin/ fat/ meat part.

Make sure the meat is thick enough to stay on the stick.

Start putting the sauce of your choice into the skewer. You can do multiple sticks at a time if you like.

Wrap the meat and let it marinate for at least 2-3 hours. I label all of them so I know which is which. After the meat are well marinated, unwrap them and try to dry off any excessive sauce to make sure it's just damp and not soaking wet otherwise the sauce could burn. 

Now it's time to cook. Preheat the broiler for 5 minutes with the empty broiler pan inside. Open the oven, put the sticks on the pan then back into the oven. Let each side cook for only 1 minutes then flip the other side. If you like, prepare the veggie of your choice like in the pic below.

When it's done, arrange on a plate nicely and avoid stacking different flavors together. OMG YUM!!!
