Woktoberfest: The final two weeks

So what's up for this week? I think Pad Thai Shrimp seems like a really good idea. I've got a recipe already.

Last week we did Panang Curry Chicken. Y'know, just so we have a record of it on the blog

This Week: Mexican Fried Rice

Who says Woktoberfest has to be all about Chinese food? How about some nice fried rice with onions, peppers, tomatoes and pork? Sounds good to me.

Panang Curry recipe

Here's a basic recipe.

We should probably add some ginger and garlic, depending on how it tastes.

Ingredients:
2 pounds meat (beef, chicken or pork)
1 can coconut milk
8 oz panang curry paste
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons kafir lime leaves (cut into shreds)
1/2 cup basil leaves
2 tablespoons sugar

Directions:
1. Cut your meat into bite sized cubes. Using a medium to large skillet, pan fry the meat until it is almost done, then remove it and set it aside.
2. Using medium heat, add in four tablespoons of coconut milk, and let it come to a boil.
3. Add in 2-3 tablespoons of curry paste.
4. Put the meat back in, and stir until the meat is thoroughly cooked.
5. Add in half of the remainder of coconut milk. Keep stirring.
6. Add the fish sauce and the sugar.
7. Add in the rest of the coconut milk.
8. When the coconut milk thickens, add in the basil leaves and lime leaves.
9. Give it a taste. You may need to add in more fish sauce or sugar depending on your preference.

Yummy.

Woktoberfest

As anything cooked using a wok is outside of my past experience of both preapring and consuming food, I will defer all meal-related decisions to Billy and Robby this month. So what are we eating thsi week, boys?
