Pine nuts is interesting there- that for texture or taste? or both?

Id use similar to Sweetman but wouldn't deseed the chilli and maybe add some paprika and ginger. Lots of coriander is the key to keeping it tasting fresh

Quite a few things in there I wouldn't normally add so I think Ima make those tomorrow and report back

Thanks

yeah, i love fresh coriander with these types of things, the pine nuts add texture and taste, I usually toast them themn blitz them slightly (not to a fine powder, just a rough chop).

Deseeding the chilli, why I am surprised you don't deseed, I've seen you drink a 150ml shot of tabasco neat for a bet LOL!!

It's 1am here now and I'm on a grind through the night mission so that I can post a pic of a typical Thai breakfast.

There's a lady who opens a stall down the street at around 6am. She has some pots of stuff that I've never really investigated but on the rare occasions that I'm up that early, I buy a selection of her home made Dim Sum. It's fairly unglamorous to look at but tastes incredible.

There are some Dim Sum places out here but they mostly close at 12 or 1pm because it's a very traditional thing to eat early in the day. (I didn't realise Dim Sum was a morning thing at all until I moved out here).

Naturally it's also very different to more Cantonese style Dim Sum, which I love. It has also reminded me that I should have chosen my favourite chain restaurant in the UK as Ping Pong. I'd really recommend anyone to go there and grab the Lazy Sunday menu - eat as much as you like from the menu. Very very good value for money and also good if you just want to try loads of different stuff. Don't go expecting it to be Yauatcha but it's still v good for what it is imo.
