This sweet and spicy soup is a staple of Thai takeout. Chef Meg recreated it for a fraction of the cost and sodium!

This is one of my family's very favorite dinners. One of the best things about this recipe is how easy it is to adjust to your own tastes. I entered it in with my true ingredients, which are SPICY! If you don't like it super spicy, adjust your ratio of Sweet Thai chili sauce (found in the grocery store asian food section) and the spicy Sambal Oelek (found in the same section). Try 1/4 cup of sambal oelek and 3/4 cup sweet chili sauce. Also very good with skinless chicken thighs, trimmed. I just ordered PB2 and am looking forward to trying it with this recipe, to cut the fat back even further!

Rich velvet-y soup chock full of vitamins from the pumpkin, with the surprising touch of peanuts, ginger and a kick of red pepper

The meal is quite simple to make. The main ingredients are shredded green papaya, chopped green beans, tomoato, dried prawns, unsalted roasted peanuts, chillies, garlic and lime juice. These are all pounded together in a mortar using a pestle.
The papaya salad is best served with sticky rice (khao neow) and grilled chicken.

Cabbage is a good source of Vitamins A & c, and fiber. It helps to prevent cancer and is low in calories. Cabbage tastes best and is most nutritious when eaten raw or cooked for a short period of time in a small amount of water.

Not too tangy, not to spicy, peanut free cucumber salad.

This soup is excellent. Add more red paste or a couple of red chili peppers to zip it up a bit more. galangal and lime leaf can be a bit hard to find but it is worth it if you do. Look in the frozen foods in your asian market for Tom Yum soup base Kit.

A delicious traditional stir-fry recipe from Thailand. Have the vegetables cut, noodles softened and sauce made before stir-frying.

I adjusted the recipe to lower the fat and calories.

A Yummy Vegan dish Cold or Hot. Great as a lunch meal.

This is to die for on chicken and rice. Not low in fat or calories, but very nutritious and filling; it is high in protein and minerals.

serving size is 1/4 cup

This recipe came from a blog called Closet Cooking by Kevin Lynch. I tweaked it a little to better suite my dietary needs, and it is awesome!

I made this tonight and served it with a half cup of Jasmine rice. It was very tasty.

The chicken comes out mosit with an amazing Thai peanut taste. The penauts and peanut butter are perfectly complimented with the cool flavorings of the salsa, soy sauce, and lime juice. This is perfect for a day when you do not have a lot of time to prep but want a delicious, savory dinner.

from the Prevention Magazine Website. This is one of my favorite weeknight meals. It can be made ahead and reheated (just leave out the peanuts) and makes a great lunch the next day.

Raw Food need not be boring. The fresh ginger and garlic make this dish. Please do not leave out or use powdered. Add the cayenne and this dish offers some true Thai heat.

Altered from a National Pork Board recipe to use no oil, and for a different method of preparation.

A salad that's a meal all by itself!
