- 1/2 a bottle of @yaisthai Thai Basil Sauce
- Green onion, for topping
- Sesame seeds, for topping
Instructions:
1. Cook rice according to package instructions.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and grease with avocado oil.
3. Add the chopped veggies to a heated skillet and let them cook for 8-10 minutes so they soften.
4. After that, add the shrimp to the skillet.
5. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side or until they are no longer grey.
6. Pour in the Thai basil sauce and let simmer for about 5 minutes on a low heat.
7. Serve over rice and top with green onion and sesame seeds.

We got so excited about asparagus being in season, we went a little overboard on this Ginger Garlic Spring Veggie Stir Fry 😂 and it was SO GOOD! And only took 15 minutes total!
Simply chop up whichever fresh veggies you want - we found good in-season rhubarb, asparagus, brussel sprouts and broccoli at our local market 🥦
🥬 Cook rice while chopping
🌶️ Cook and stir veggies in pan for 2-3 minutes (we had to cook more like 5 minutes because we used so many!)
🧄 Pour Ginger Garlic Sauce in - As much as you’d like! Half a bottle for one stir fry usually works but since we were cooking so much at once, we used the whole bottle (also we like going heavy on the sauce)
🍳 Cook and stir in sauce for about 5 minutes
🍚 Serve over rice!
🧅 You can make this with pretty much any combo of veggies and protein you like 🥕 We stick with our favorites then try to diversify with new veggies that are in season 🍅

Of all the Songkran-related dishes my mother got me hooked on, Laap (also called Larb, which is just the more finely chopped version of Laap) is by far my favorite. Laap, known as the dish of prosperity, is a Thai salad made of chicken or pork, shallots, cilantro, garlic, toasted jasmine rice powder, chilis, and fish sauce. It’s typically served over rice with lettuce, cucumbers, and a mint garnish, but in the spring, we prefer to eat them as lettuce wraps!
See below for my mom and Yai’s Laap Gai (Chicken) recipe!
Serves: 4
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs ground chicken
- 1 medium red onion, or 3-4 shallots, sliced
- 1 cup cilantro, chopped
- 2 tbsp Yai's Thai Chili Garlic Hot Sauce
- 4 tbsp fish sauce
- Juice of 1-1.5 limes (2-3 tbsp)
- Optional: 1 tbsp coconut aminos or soy sauce
- Optional: lettuce cups or jasmine rice
Instructions:
- In a skillet, cook the chicken over medium heat.
- Stir in the fish sauce and Chili Garlic Hot Sauce. (Note that with both of these ingredients a little goes a long way, and you can always add more!)
- In a separate bowl, combine the cilantro, red onions and lime juice.
- Once chicken has cooked, add it to the bowl on top of the cilantro and onion mixture. Let sit for a minute or two and then thoroughly mix together (the heat from the chicken "cooks" the shallot just enough to remove the bite).
- Serve in lettuce cups, over jasmine rice, or eat plain!

Today marks the beginning of Songkran, the Thai new year. Growing up, we didn’t really celebrate traditional Thai holidays. Like many first-gen kids in the US, I was admittedly more focused on fitting in and learning American traditions. As I got older, I really enjoyed learning about Thai festivals and holidays. And, ironically, I learned that my Yai and mother were actually making dishes all along that had ties to certain Thai rituals like Songkran.
You may have heard about the “water fight festival” in Thailand, but it’s about so much more than that! The tradition is deeply rooted in tradition and ensuring a fresh start to the new year.

Pantry Hack!

INGREDIENTS
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or avocado oil 🥥

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 bell peppers, stem and seeds removed, diced 🫑
- 1 sweet potato, peeled and diced 🍠
- 1 can chickpeas
- 1 jar Yai’s Thai Yellow Thai Coconut Curry Sauce
- 1, 13.5 ounce can full-fat coconut milk 🌴
GARNISH:
- fresh cilantro 🌿
- lime wedges

HOW TO:
- To a wok or pot add your oil, onions and salt and saute for 3 minutes. Add the bell peppers, sweet potato and chickpeas and saute another 3 minutes.
- Add the yellow curry sauce and coconut milk and bring to a boil. Turn the burner to low and simmer until veggies are soft (5 minutes or so).

STORAGE:
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Or, freeze in an airtight container (separate from the rice/quinoa) for up to 3 months.
