    Ginger Thai Recipe

    Ginger Thai Recipe

    This Ginger Thai recipe is one of both Mod and my favorite recipes.  It's also one of our favorite dishes to order when going out for Thai.  The sauce is off the hook and the ginger soothes the stomach.

    Rehabbing the Recipe

    Mod was initially not sure about adding a chicken stock as Thai recipes usually do and her gut feeling was right.   She stir-fried the recipe and there was a sauce just from the fluids coming out of the ingredients as they cooked.  We bought an organic/ low-sodium chicken stock just in case but we think it would still take the sodium higher than is necessary.

    Other than that we did the usual things we do, such as going for a lower sodium soy sauce, fish sauce, everything you can find.  We also always go for a better oil like canola or olive oil although Thai people almost never use olive oil.  Thai food is, historically a fusion cuisine, influenced largely by Chinese and Indian flavors.  Change is a constant in this cuisine so we don't think we're too far off base.   We also always go for a brown or long grained rice.  You can get a microwave version if you're super busy like us.  It's just as healthy as far as we know.  The credit goes to Mod for figuring all this out even though I am the one posting the recipe.

    We went with a portabella mushroom for the aesthetic appeal per my idea although Mod said you won't likely see that in the typical Thai dish.  She agreed after that my instincts served me well.  Use whatever you like and comment on this if you have an opinion.  🙂  As always you can use tofu or fish if you are some kind of vegetarian and let us know what else we could change to make it our Thai recipes healthy.
