You have to find and enjoy the time to locate, select and buy the best, freshest possible ingredients.
I don't buy "fake stuff" examples:
If I need Milk I don't buy Soya extract with the name milk on the box!
If I'm going to use Saffron, it must be real Saffron.
I believe you got the point already.
When I mistakenly moved back to Brazil, I was afraid of not finding the ingredients I was used to. Mainly because they were mostly from Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the only understanding of Asian Food there was in here was "Japanese Food".
I took some drastic measures:
1-I sent via express post, 2 envelopes containing 25 packs each of Thai curries!
2- I located in the US a supplier of Asian Vegetables and Chillies seeds, certified of course, so I could plant them here, just in case I could not find them!
In the Addiction classes of my Counselling course, I learned with this nice teacher that an "Addiction is anything that seems more important than....."
Well, I'm addicted to Thai food.
Yes I cook and eat it on a Daily basis.
No it doesn't take long to cook, usually everything is done in less 30 minutes, since the rice takes 20 minute to cook!
I learned and like many other world cuisines, but Asian food is more me!I'm not the Iron Chef Thai, but I manage to do a good job.
I owe most of it to my friend Savitree Sommerfeld, this beautiful Thai lady that lives in Germany and is a master-chef! I learned from her.
Later on I'll post some of the key ingredients to have at home and offer some super quick recipes.
Cheers
