If the sauce is what I think it is, it's just strips (or little
chunks) of hot pepper skins in a msg "soup".
To make you just soak the little chile peppers (there's a correct
name but I can't remember) in warm water till they become soft.
Remove the stem and scrape out the seeds. Cut the skins or run through
the food processor till they're little chunks.
Place in boiling water (and fish or chicken stock-optional) add
msg to thicken. You can add sugar to make this a sort of sweet and
hot sauce too.
I have made this with arrow root rather than msg but the sauce isn't
as clear.
It sounds like this is the sauce you had.

| "The First Authentic Cookbook of Thai Cuisine" (Hot Pink and Bright
Orange) should have the answer to any of your Thai questions.
Thai is my favorite food!!! Almost bought the cookbook yesterday,
but it would have frustrated me...Try finding all those unusual
ingredients in Northern VT! :'(

| This isn't the same as the book mentioned in 1972.3, but the Nashua
public library has a copy of Marie Wilson's "Siamese Cookery", 1965,
Tuttle (Rutland VT), ISBN 0-8048-0530-x.

| 1072.7 | Another oriental food store | SUCCES::BURTON | | Wed Mar 30 1988 12:32 | 29 |

There's another oriental food supply store in Leominster.
It's right off rte 2, towards Fitchburg. It's a right turn into
a little "mall" before the old Beef and Beer. It's owned by a
Cambodian couple and they're very nice and helpful.
They have some cookbooks as well as some utensils and of course,
all types of foodstuffs to drain the wallet and fill the stomach.
There's even frozen eels and milkfish,(the latter looks like a type
of lungfish) both from more exotic climes than New England.
One note though, be sure to check all dried items (ie. black mushrooms)
for little bugs. I don't know where they get the black mushooms
but they always have bugs. (I stick to canned for now)
RE: 6
To anyone just starting out cooking oriental, the Joyce Chen's
cookbooks are invaluable! It's been over 10 years since my wife
and I started and we still find ourselves going back to our
first Joyce Chen cookbook (now taped together and swollen with notes)
I think I'll swing by on the way home. It's been a while since I
made curried chicken in coconut milk. (My wife craves this dish)

| 1072.8 | Coconut Ice Cream | ROLL::HARRIS | | Fri Apr 01 1988 16:57 | 12 |
|
While we're on the subject of Thai food, I am trying to re-create
the coconut ice cream served at Chez Siam in Marlboro (and seen in
various incarnations at other Thai restaurants). Does anyone have
a recipe for such a thing? My first attempt (young coconut meat
and juice, cream of coconut, heavy cream) had the right flavor but
the wrong texture -- too creamy. I would appreciate any
suggestions.
Thanks,
Brian

If I remember I'll ask my wife (she's Thai, and a professional
chef) for her ice cream recipe tonight. However one thing I know
is that Thai ice cream has NO milk products in it at all.

(PS a close friend of ours is now the assistant chef at Chez Siam
- so perhaps next time I see her I'll ask for their recipe - it
might be different.)

OK I'll try for a sate recipe. Meanwhile I refer you to 1131 for
Tod Mun (and a sauce) and my comments on sauces in 1129 (which I
admit is out of place but...)

A recipe that I've run across and tried for coconut ice cream
calls for the following...
1 pint whipping cream
1 (14oz) can of coconut milk (1-3/4 cups)
(or make your own)
1/2 cup sugar
1 t coconut extract
1/8 t salt
follow the instructions given with your ice cream maker using
the above ingredients.
-enjoy!
