3- Geang Son Pla |
Southern Style Sour and Spicy Currywith White Snapper and Pineapplesby Chef Prasit Ngamsirisak Chef Prasit Ngamsirisak is the Executive chef of the Khaolak Merlin Resort. His recipe is for Geang Som Pla, a sour and spicy curry with white snapper and pineapples, which is a southern Thai speciality. But first, a warning from the chef: Geang Som Pla, he says, is only for people who love spicy food. If you’re one of those, we guarantee you that it will be a terrific spicy soup to eat with family and friends, especially if you’re sitting somewhere very cold wishing you were back in Thailand… Preparation time: 30 minutes Ingredients: 500 ml drinking water Preparation and cooking: Heat water in a stock pot and add the curry paste, shrimp paste, sugar, salt and fish sauce. Bring to the boil. Add pineapple slices, then the fish and the freshly pressed lime juice. Simmer until the fish is cooked. Adjust the seasoning if necessary, then serve immediately in an attractive bowl with Thai steamed rice on the side. Tip from the chef: If you can’t find any white snapper, replace it with any white-meat fish. The most important thing for this dish is that the ingredients be really fresh. |
