I get asked quite often why I like to cook. The first reason I give is normally because I like to eat. I am Thai and food is a big factor in our culture. We greet each other with hello followed by 'have you eaten? When guests turn up at your house it's safe to assume that they will expect to be fed.

The second reason is that as I grew up in the Northeastern part of Thailand, the poorest region, food was always hard to come by. We weren't hungry as there was always rice, but it was difficult finding something to go with rice. Now I do have ingredients to go with rice, I want to cook!

Loaded Eggs ไข่ทรงเครื่อง.


Loaded Eggs ไข่ทรงเครื่อง.


Runny fried eggs topped with spicy mince pork stir fried, a quick and satisfying dinner. This dish is best served with hot steaming rice, there's nothing quite like runny egg yolk on hot rice, it really is a revelation. A popular condiment served alongside this meal is finely sliced chillies in fish sauce and lime juice. Spoon the chilli fish sauce over the runny egg and then break it over the steaming rice. Yum! Mince and eggs are extremely popular in Thailand, eggs are economical and mince can be stretched to feed a large family. We have many mince and egg combination meals and all of them quick and delicious.
