Thai Cooking Class Bangkok
Yesterday I had a great time doing something that most real men don't do which is join a Thai cooking class in Bangkok. I couldn't say what came over me to do this, but it was the best 1500 baht I have ever spent in Thailand.
Why you may ask that I felt that it was the best 1500 baht I ever spent in Thailand and I will tell you this. I figure that knowing how to cook Thai style is going to save me hours of time slaving over the microwave and filing my system full of processed food stuffs like burritos and tombstone pizza which are aptly named. In addition, a little math here, it is also going to save me money as well to eat healthy. Most of the ingredients are easily available in any US grocery store and for the other stuff most markets have them and shopping in markets is almost always cheaper, which this Cheap Charley really likes. It is true that the price of rice has gone up, but it is still as cheap as potatoes.
The course is easy, not like you have to study for it in advance, but having done it I would try to cook some Thai dishes at home first and see what kind of mistakes that I was making, like sticky rice. The secret is soaking the rice over night in salty water, OK that is pretty easy, and everybody love sticky rice. The Thai cooking classes also recommended having little plastic bags and to hold the individual hot sticky rice servings in and it stays nicer longer, nothing like hot sticky rice!
I use to prep veggies for a few restaurants when I was in school, and knowing the proper knife for the job, and the proper way to use the knife really makes the wok work simpler. Some of the other interesting parts of the class, which was all hands on and something that if I was going to do a class I would insist on, was the selection of ingredients They show you the ones that are the best and give you a rough idea how much more to go with the high end ingredients and the places where you can cheat a little have still have great dishes. You will be surprised where you can cheat at. Rice that has some broken pieces is preferred to all perfect pieces!
After the Thai cooking lessons was over, we got down to serious grinding and the conversations focused on more dishes and different styles continued. We spent another two hours eating and drinking our master work after the class was over, and then before we could leave we were giving certificates to show out friends and family that the time in Bangkok was not all sent on hedonistic pursuits. They would have figured it out as soon as we invite them over for one of out new regular social events the Thai food night.
Before we left as the regular restaurant was filling up wit the Bangkok Thai locals that eat here regularly, we were also giving a doggie bag that I dare the meanest dog to try to get away from me, and equally treasured a Thai cooking recipes book full of other delicious Thai dishes we are now trained to cook. All in all very good afternoon and evening spent doing a non manly man thing, that I will recommend to all my manly man friends coming to Thailand who like to eat!
