Prig Khing Green Beans

Trader Joe's sells a frozen version of these, but I
really do not like the sauce that comes with them. I figured this would be an easy flavor to recreate, so I did. I served these will my Thai Snapper last night and I think that my son liked this better than the fish, go figure, but what do you expect from a 5 year old?

Prig Khing Green Beans

1 tablespoon of sesame oil
1/2 pound of green beans, ends cut
1 tablespoon of red pepper flakes
1 handful of peanuts, mashed
1 1/2 tablespoons of soy sauce
a pinch of garlic powder or minced garlic

In a large skillet heat oil, before oil starts to smoke add green beans and stir fry for 3 to 5 minutes. Add soy sauce, garlic, peanuts, and red pepper flakes and stir fry for an addition 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from skillet and serve.

Thai Red Snapper

This is a super easy recipe, it came out great and had tons of flavor. If you do not have any Nuoc Nam use some soy instead. We had this for dinner last night and really enjoyed it.

Thai Snapper

3 tablespoons of lime juice
1 tablespoon of Asian Fish Sauce Nuoc Nam
1 tablespoon of olive oil
½ teaspoon of sugar
½ teaspoon of minced garlic
4 red snapper fillets (6oz. each)
1 carrot, but into 2 ¼ inch long thin strips
1 large green onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup of fresh cilantro leaves


Mix lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, ginger, and garlic. Make a packet with tin foil large enough to hold one snapper fillet. Place snapper skin side down in packet and top with carrot, green onion, and cilantro. Pour lime juice mix over fish and vegetables. Grill over medium heat for 8 minutes.

This recipe is adapted from some grilling book that I checked out of the library.
