Cooking class - a dream come true :)

My big plan to attend a cooking class here in Thailand finally came true today! 4 hours - 4 dishes! And everything was incredibly delicious and above all so easy.

In the morning we were picked up from the hotel and taken to the cooking school. There was a welcome drink and a small introduction. There were a total of 10 people (plus Nora). We were allowed to choose 4 dishes from a given catalog. And then we started chopping. We prepared all the dishes right from the start and cut the fresh ingredients. Then everything was cooked and eaten one after the other. I need to mention that I stuffed myself too much. But it was just delicious! Nora helped diligently with cutting the vegetables .... and of course with eating them too :-)))

We conjured up the following dishes in the wok:

1) Pad Thai (typical and cheap noodle dish)

2) Stir-Fried Chicken with Cashew Nuts (chicken in dark sauce with vegetables and cashew nuts)

3) Fried Rice (fried rice with vegetables)

4) Paneang Curry (MY FAVORITE! Creamy curry with chicken in coconut milk)

I had to realize that Thai cuisine has a lot to offer and is very quick and easy to prepare. The basic ingredients are always the same. Oil, garlic, sugar, fish sauce and soy sauce. Then meat, fresh vegetables, onions and noodles or rice.

I'm curious if we'll cook some of it at home! :-)
