Homemade Chinese Egg Noodles

My family enjoy this type of Chinese Egg Noodles. They are thin, chewy, and springy without any addictive added. Only wheat flour, sea salt, duck eggs, and a bit of water. There's no kneading involved and all you need is a rolling pin to beat the dough until it's smooth and elastic. It's amazingly easy and what a difference it makes in taste. These egg noodles are great for making wonton noodles, simple ginger and scallions noodles, or top with of your favorite sauce.

Homemade Thai Green Curry Paste

Making curry paste from scratch is well worth the effort and time. You can always adjust the level of spiciness to suit you, and they taste better too. I prefer to make the curry paste in a mortar and pestle as this slowly releases the flavours and aroma. However, If you decide to use a food processor, then make sure to grind the roasted spices separately until you have a fine powder before adding to the rest of the ingredients.

Thai Glass Noodle Salad {Yum Woon Sen/Yam Wun Sen}

This is a spicy and tangy Thai Glass Noodles Salad or Yum Woon Sen. In many Thai restaurants; they often have squid and pork in the salad. However, I have opted for some scallops and ground chicken for this recipe. This salad is best served immediately because of the acidity in the dressing.
