Fall into Cooking Featured Recipe from David Thompson's Thai Street Food: Fried Chicken and Squid Rice Noodles When I first ate these krua gai noodles I wasn’t convinced. I had so many other noodle dishes that enticed and pleased, some of which are also in Thai Street Food. Now I am addicted to the winning simplicity of them. In Bangkok’s Chinatown there are many versions, some with prawns, others use pork but mostly squid and chicken is the order of the day. As you walk down the narrow alleys of this quarter, away from the busy main streets, it’s like stepping back in time. It’s still bustling, though, with the air filled with spices, chatter and the scraping clatter of smoking woks. To make the best of this recipe you’ll need to season your wok. It imparts a smoky, slightly metallic tang to the dish: a lingering sign of success is the breath of the wok. All you need to do is prime the wok by burning it, scorching it over a flame and turning it to ensure that every part is charred. Wash out the wok then return it to the heat and it's ready. --David Thompson Serves 2 Ingredients 3 oz chicken breast fillet, with or without skin as preferred a drizzle of light soy sauce, plus 2 tablespoons extra 1 garlic clove, peeled pinch of salt 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 3 oz cured squid (plaa meuk chae) or fresh squid or cuttlefish, scored and finely sliced ground white pepper 1–2 teaspoons preserved Chinese vegetable (dtang chai), rinsed and drained 2 heaped tablespoons chopped spring (green) onions 2 heaped tablespoons chopped Asian celery (optional) 8 oz fresh wide rice noodles 1–2 teaspoons dark soy sauce, to taste good pinch of white sugar 2 eggs, ideally duck eggs 1 cup loosely packed, very coarsely cut Chinese lettuce pinch of deep-fried garlic 1–2 tablespoons chopped coriander sauce Siracha, to serve Slice the chicken and briefly marinate it in a drizzle of light soy sauce. Crush the garlic to a somewhat coarse paste with the salt—either by pounding it using a pestle and mortar or finely chopping it with a knife. Heat the wok then add 2 generous tablespoons of the oil. Add the chicken and the cured squid and lightly stir-fry until golden and almost cooked. Stir in the garlic paste, a pinch of white pepper, the preserved Chinese vegetable and 1 tablespoon each of the spring onions and Asian celery (if using). By now most of the oil should have been absorbed; drain off any excess. Pull apart the rice noodle strands and add to the wok, spreading them over the contents of the wok and onto the surface of the wok itself. Leave undisturbed for a moment--up to 30 seconds--then gently begin to stir and shuffle the noodles and the wok. It is important not to break the noodle strands while doing this. Drizzle the noodles with the extra 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce, the dark soy sauce and the sugar. Sprinkle them with most of the remaining Asian celery and spring onions, along with a good pinch of white pepper. Turn up the heat slightly to caramelize the noodles, stirring occasionally and carefully. After a minute or two, push the noodles to one side of the wok and add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Turn up the heat, crack in the eggs and fry until they are just beginning to set and the edges of the whites are beginning to brown. Lightly break up the eggs, then gently stir and fold in the noodles, simmering them for a few minutes so that they caramelize and char slightly. Finish with the Chinese lettuce and the remaining Asian celery. Serve the noodles sprinkled with the deep-fried garlic, the remaining spring onions, the coriander and a pinch of white pepper. Accompany with a bowl of sauce Siracha.

“An entirely over-the-top, large-format volume on the joys of Thai street food.”—Wall Street Journal Asia, Holiday Gift Guide, 2010“Rest easy knowing that what a Thai vendor produces from a rickety cart on the side of a busy thoroughfare, you should be able to approximate in a modern kitchen.”—Austin Chronicle, Best of 2010 List“Get swept away to the busy streets of Thailand with gorgeous location photos and authentic recipes for unique food that is amazingly complex, spicy, and humble.” —Bon Appetit, Our Favorite Cookbooks 2010, December Issue“A coffee-table-size love letter to the art of Thai food hawkers.”—Portland Oregonian, Best of 2010, 12/21/10“The pictures alone are enough to sell this coffee-table book of Thai street food. Sure, there are recipes too—for dishes such as grilled pork skewers, steamed fish curry, and pad Thai—but it would be nerve-racking to take such a gorgeous book into the kitchen and risk oil splatters and fingerprints.”—The Atlantic’s Food Channel, Top Food Books of 2010, 12/17/10“Chock-full of drool-worthy photos, this oversize book would look right at home on a coffee table. It’ll likely stay in the kitchen, though, once you start learning how to make exotic snacks like crunchy prawn cakes and banana fritters.”—Entertainment Weekly, 12/17/10“My other favorite book came out in the U.S. this year. It's David Thompson's Thai Street Food. I talked about it in 2009 because that's when I got the European release. Now America has the book. Yep, it can double as a doorstop, given its weight and size. But I cook from it. Check the Thai chicken biriyani (khao mok gai) recipe for a sampling of what Thompson's book offers.”—Andrea Nguyen, Viet World Kitchen, 2010 Cookbook Picks, 12/11/10“This oversized, gorgeously photographed ode to the street food culture of Thailand has one major drawback. It might awaken hunger that only a plane ticket can cure. . . . His recipes, in painstaking detail with ample discussion of their places in Thai cuisine and culture, provide both simple and dizzyingly complex road maps for the adventurous cook.”—Buffalo News, 2010 Gift Guide, 12/8/10“A riotous magnum opus by this devoted Thai food acolyte, in which any single recipe has flavor equal to approximately 20 meals in the British Isles.”—AOL’s Slashfood, Cookbook Gift Guide, 12/7/10“How do you trump a classic book on Thai cuisine? In 2002 Ten Speed Press published Dave Thompson's Thai Food, almost 700 pages of recipes for dishes from relishes to sweets, illustrated with color photos and prefaced by a short history of the culture. The press has just outdone itself with the same author's Thai Street Food: Authentic Recipes, Vibrant Traditions. This time the book is oversize (11 x 13") and generous with photos not only of many dishes, but also of the markets, klongs (canals), and street stands at which an astonishing array of food can be purchased. . . . Thai Street Food is as much a travel book as a cookbook, exemplary in both categories. . . . Because of its size and heavy use of color, Thompson's new volume is a luxury, priced more like an art book than a cookbook; but if you can get our hands on a copy, it's a treasure.”—The Huffington Post, 12/6/10“Bigger than a motorbike and just as transporting, Thompson’s book is a love letter to the street food of Bangkok. Word on the, um, street is that the recipes taste just like the originals.”—The New York Times Book Review, Web Extra: 25 More Cookbooks, 12/3/10“Street food has entered the culinary consciousness, getting shout-outs from chefs everywhere in the last decade. David Thompson was among the first to champion Thai cuisine, earning him a Michelin star. His latest book is gigantic – you’ll need extra-wide counters to actually use it. The large-scale format, however, reflects an incredible array of Thai dishes: satays and sticky rice, yes, but curries, noodles and shrimp cakes, too. Divided into morning, noon and night, recipes and photo essays travel through markets, cooking stalls and Bangkok’s historic Chinatown. Thompson’s knowledge is in-depth, and his sense of awe is contagious. Just prepare to scour specialty stores for ingredients. Gift it with Dwell magazine, to start planning those extra-wide kitchen counters.” —Montreal Gazette, Favorite Cookbooks of 2010, 12/1/10“Part coffee-table book, part travelogue, part cookbook, this full-color celebration of Thai culture and cuisine is a feast for the eyes and the stomach. Thompson, who has been traveling to Thailand since the 1980s, breaks the book down into breakfast, lunch and dinner sections (he calls them Morning, Noon and Night); colorful photographs by Earl Carter bring this oversized book to vibrant life.”—Denver Post, 2010’s Best Cookbooks, 12/1/10“An education unto itself.”—StarChefs.com, Top 10 Cookbooks 2010: Honorable Mention, November 2010“Anyone who loves the exotic flavor and cooking methods of Thailand will devour this oversized book, which divides recipes according to the time of day they're enjoyed. The Roast Duck and Egg Noodle Soup had us clawing at the page.”—Tampa Tribune, Holiday Gift Guide, 11/26/10“Take advantage of the Michelin-starred chef's trawl for the best of Bangkok's street vendors. Follow the precise, authentic recipes and the results will be better than your local Thai. Probably.”—The Observer Food Monthly, 25 Best Cookbooks of 2010, 11/14/10“Featuring recipes for the sort of adventurous street eats that travel tv is built on, this stunning visual document boasts 185 poster-sized food and market scene photos.”—Time Out New York, The Season’s Best Cookbooks, 11/12/10“A beautiful, engrossing door-stopper of a book, Thai Street Food is a travelogue, a history lesson, a cookbook and a glimpse of a day in the life of the vibrant street food of Thailand.”—Cookbooker.com, 11/3/10"A hunger-inspiring tour of the outdoor markets and food stalls of Thailand. The evocative photos and recipes for noodles, curries, satays, salads, roasted meats, and more capture the daily rhythms, bright flavors, and bustling spirit of Bangkok’s streets, and will appeal to anyone with a love for Thai cuisine."—Fine Cooking, 10/25/10 "Just like I’m used to from his standard on Thai cuisine, his recipes work. Feel authentic. And taste oh so good!" —DeliciousDays.com, 9/28/10“David Thompson’s latest is not only a phenomenal primer in authentic Thai cooking, it is a work of art--full of some of the most gorgeous food photographs ever taken. I dearly love this book.” —James Oseland, editor in chief of Saveur and author of Cradle of Flavor “Spend time with David Thompson’s Thai Street Food as I have. Take in the images and contemplate the tastes. Then immerse yourself by preparing the food. This is a revelatory work.” —Andrea Nguyen, author of Into the Vietnamese Kitchen “Generous photographs full of life raise this appreciative and knowledgeable exploration of classic Thai street foods to a new level. We are transported instantly to Bangkok’s street-side restaurants and stalls, where from early morning to late-night, Thai culinary flare is on dazzling display.” —Naomi Duguid, coauthor of Hot Sour Salty Sweet “The food cognoscenti in America have finally begun celebrating our street foods as something more than novelty, but as David Thompson shows us, the culture of cooking, eating, and sharing in public is at the very heart of Thai life. The recipes, cultural scenes, and photographs in this wonderful book feel so alive--rich with the flavor, messiness, and spirit of living.” —Francis Lam, food editor, Salon.com

Fantastic book, more of a coffee table book than recipe or cookbook, but a treasure. I am a chef that has trained in a Thai kitchen and this book takes me back to the days in that kitchen. The pictures and stories in this book are worth the price alone. I have always wanted to travel this region, and just bounce all over working and learning from multiple kitchens. Aftet buying this book and reading it from cover to cover that dream is a bucket list item now. The recipes are tricky if you do not have a great Asian market near by, but just a fantastic book. Anyone that loves Thai food should own this book. Again, the book is a little bigger than most cookbooks and may not fit on a book shelf, but a great coffee table book.
This book is great. You may not be able to find some of the ingredients but come on, it’s a Thai street food book. Some popular dishes were missing but had a few of my favorites. It’s also massive, so it’s a great coffee table book.
I saw this book at a store in Thailand and knew I liked it so I had to get it when I got home. It’s big and heavy and has beautiful pictures of the food and the street life in Thailand. Pretty expensive but worth the money.
This book shows you the most complete Thai street food available with a good indication of all ingredients per dish needed and the step by step instructions on how to make it. It also shows many elaborate pictures of all various places where street food comes from and the scenes how they are consumed. Most impressive, are the stories that make Thai street food the complete bible on this subject is the descriptions of where dishes come from on the history behind it. In the back of the book are the thumbnails of the pictures and the description where they are made, this might give you inspiration which markets to go when in Thailand.Pictures are of fantastic quality and so are the recipes. The other book by David Thompson (known to me as being the English speaking guru on Thai food and a capable man who know to prepare Thai food better than many Thai themselves) is a complete bible on almost all recipes from Thailand, however being more technical and being more a recipe book. This is besides a very good recipe book also a fantastic coffee table book to show off. Well done!
the recipes are great. when you can actually find the ingredients, its really like eating streetfood in Thailand again. requires a little bit of imagination when you can't source the ingredients, but the book does a good job of offering up alternatives.
Beautiful book with amazing pictures, delicious recipes.
Good photos and recipes.
David Thompson, the author of "Thai Food", the English-language "bible" of Thai cooking, has done it again!I lived in Thailand for 3 years, and found the street food to be wonderful. You will find delicious morsels for sale on every street corner in Thailand - many Thais graze all day while running around getting their shopping and work done. This is the first cookbook I have ever found, even in Thailand, that captures all these delicious recipes in one place. The recipes are very authentic and approachable for the home cook. This is Thai "comfort food" at it's best. And mixed in with the excellent recipes are tons of outstanding photos that really capture the essence of the Thai street scene. As a photography book it could stand alone, even if you never cooked anything from it. But that would be a shame - I tried a couple of my street favorites this week, and the recipes were EXACTLY like I remember the taste.An outstanding book - but I didn't expect anything less from David Thompson. If you don't have his other book, "Thai Food", you should consider adding that to your collection also. It's full of recipes that you rarely find in cookbooks outside Thailand (as well as all the old favorites), and some of my very favorites came from that book. Buy them together and you will never need another book on Thai cooking!
