Do you love easy dinner recipes? Are you looking for a recipe that is quick and easy but delicious? In this post, I’m sharing my Thai Chicken Prik Khing with green beans that is perfect for busy schedules.
Cooking is one of the things I grew to love. I never liked cooking when I was young. Mainly because my mom doesn’t have recipes written to. Oftentimes, she gets upset when I don’t do it correctly so I never enjoyed it. Mom was the main cook in the family. When my mom is not around my sister usually did the cooking.
When I got married and moved here to the US, I had to learn how to cook. I remember watching cooking videos and learned how to cook pretty quickly. It was not difficult as I had expected and I grew to love cooking.
When we have kids I did not have much time to cook. I am mostly tired around dinner time. I quickly learned to make recipes that are easy and delicious.
Thai food is hubby’s favorite food. Thai food is not very cheap where we live. In order to save money, I make it at home. We eat Thai food once or twice a week. Most of the recipes I make are not very difficult and time-consuming.
Prik Khing is my favorite Thai go-to recipe. We like to go to the Asian store and look for different kinds of sauce or curries to try at home.
What is Prik Khing?
Prik Khing is a Thai curry that is made from dried chili, garlic, shallots, lemongrass, galangal, and other spices. You can also make Prik Khing from scratch but I think the store-bought paste tasted pretty good.
Most Thai curry recipes use coconut milk however, this recipe does not. This recipe is spicy. If you like curries, I’m sure you’ll enjoy this recipe.
