#AroyD #AroyDQuailEggsInWater #CannedQuailEggs #CannedQuailEggsReview
I tried these Aroy-D Quail Eggs In Water and these were good.
These just taste like mini hard boiled chicken eggs without seasoning on them.
I like to put the soul food seasoning on these quail eggs.
I also like eating these with frozen breakfast foods like french toast, pillsbury breakfast strudel french toast, and waffles.
I washed these quail eggs first then boiled them in fresh tap water.
I would eat these again.
I got these at a Asian Market and the Soul Food Seasoning at Ollies.

No thai green curry today. My local supermarket doesn't even have green curry paste nor chicken thighs.
I did get coconut milk from Aroy-D Brand and lemongrass though. Hope I have better luck tomorrow at the store where I work. They do have a lot of asian brands and ingredients. I even got fish sauce there.
If all fails, I have to go to the asian supermarket next week to get other ingredients like thai basil and thai eggplant etc. or order them online if possible.

Gaeng Khiao Waan Gai (Thai Green Curry with Chicken)
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups (355ml) full-fat coconut milk, such as Aroy-D, divided (see notes)
10 fresh or frozen makrut lime leaves, divided
2 tablespoons (30ml) virgin coconut oil
4 ounces (1/2 cup; 115g) homemade or store-bought green curry paste
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons (35g) palm sugar
3 tablespoons (45ml) fish sauce
1 pound (450g) boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2-inch pieces
Kosher salt
5 Thai eggplants (about 5 1/4 ounces; 150g total), stemmed, quartered, and placed in a small bowl of water (see notes)
1 packed cup (about 1 ounce; 30g) fresh sweet basil leaves (a.k.a. Thai basil)
Cooked jasmine rice, for serving
Directions
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup (120ml) coconut milk and 1/2 cup (120ml) water; set thinned coconut milk mixture aside. Remove and discard the mid-rib from the makrut lime leaves; set 8 of the leaves aside. Stack remaining 2 makrut lime leaves, fold in half widthwise, then slice into hair-thin strips; set aside separately.
2. In a 3-quart saucepan, combine coconut oil with 1/2 cup (120ml) coconut milk and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring often with a rubber spatula, until thickened slightly, about 1 minute. 
3. Add curry paste, stir vigorously to combine, and use a rubber spatula to scrape sides of the saucepan to fully incorporate paste. Raise heat to medium-high and cook, stirring and scraping constantly until paste mixture begins to spit (which indicates that water content has been cooked off, and mixture has begun to fry in coconut oil), about 1 minute. Lower heat back to medium, and continue to cook while gradually adding remaining 1/2 cup (120ml) coconut milk in 2-tablespoon (30ml) increments, until paste darkens slightly and the fat begins to separate from curry paste, 5 to 6 minutes.
4. Add fish sauce and palm sugar, and stir until palm sugar is fully dissolved, about 30 seconds. Lightly season chicken on all sides with salt, add to saucepan with reserved whole makrut lime leaves, and stir to evenly coat with curry paste mixture. Add reserved thinned coconut milk mixture and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and tender and liquid has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes.
5. Add eggplants, and continue to cook, adjusting heat as needed to maintain a simmer, until eggplants are just cooked through but still have some bite to them, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, add sweet basil, and stir until wilted and incorporated.
6. Transfer curry to a large serving bowl or divide between individual bowls, and garnish with reserved thinly-sliced makrut lime leaves. Serve with cooked jasmine rice.

@galauvant happy new year!! may it bring you many ready-to-eat snacks and ingredients for thai home cooking
here's a little shopping list of some things i recommend getting if you go there:
oishi green tea kyoho grape with nata de coco: the first time i saw people drink this mid-romantic scene in a thai bl it was a bit jarring, but that was only because i hadn't tried it before. it's so lovely; i could write sonnets about it.
golden mountain seasoning sauce: you can get it elsewhere but they sell a liter of it for like $5, which is very worth it if you make garlic noodles or any thai stir fries regularly
dragonfly brand black soy sauce: for pad see ew! (the one with the orange cap. if you don't anticipate using it much, honestly you could probably up the soy sauce/add chinese black soy sauce and add a very small amount of molasses?)
ABC brand sweet soy sauce: a common malay and indonesian condiment. this is way too sweet for me but i had a roommate who put it on everything and felt like i should mention that they sell it!
big bags of glutinous rice for way less than you'd pay anywhere else
BAMBOO CONE STEAMER (หวด). THIS WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE IF YOU LIKE STICKY RICE. it's like $6 if you have a pot that it will fit in, and still under $20 if you need to buy a pot to go with it. it is impossible to mess up sticky rice using this method. there is literally zero measuring required and it gives the rice such a nice fragrance. i've been able to make mango sticky rice on a whim every time i've seen a good deal on good mangoes the last couple of years and this is why. here is a video on how to make sticky rice with it! and here is a mango sticky rice recipe i use as a template. for 1 cup uncooked sticky rice i use one 8.5oz carton of aroy d coconut milk to ½ cup sugar and 1 tsp salt, then reserve a scant ½ cup of the dissolved coconut milk mixture for the sauce. (cornstarch works as a thickener if you don't have rice flour!)
frozen khanom thien (ขนมเทียน) there's a similar lao dessert called kanom nap, and a burmese dessert called mok phet thot. it's a steamed glutinous rice dumpling wrapped in banana leaves and filled with a caramelized shredded coconut/palm sugar filling! here are a handful of videos of people making it!
butterfly pea flowers: not cheap but i think still cheaper than i've seen them elsewhere?? relatedly! there is a thai restaurant on the UES that sells chor muang (ช่อม่วง). I think it was Thep on 75th and 2nd?? They're beautiful, interesting, and a pain to make, and I've never seen them on another restaurant menu.
frozen pandan leaves: not sure where else i would get them in nyc, although pretty much any SE asian grocery store will carry them.
makrut lime leaves: sometimes sold frozen, sometimes in a little ziploc bag in the refrigerated section. *girl scout cookie sales voice* they freeze well!
frozen galangal slices
fun lays flavors
nam prik pao (นำ้พริกเผา): if you don't eat shrimp, there's one vegetarian brand that uses dried shiitake mushroom for the savory element (Chua Hah Seng vegetarian chilli paste - นำ้พริกเผาฉั่วฮะเส็ง มังสวิรัติ)
palm sugar: available elsewhere, but usually more expensive
fresh/frozen coconut milk: worth trying at least once! it's also worth getting one or two shelf-stable cartons of coconut milk if you've only had canned before, but their prices aren't great—i usually get the 6- or 12-packs of 8.5 oz cartons of aroy d on amazon
they sell a little frozen tom yum veggie set with lemongrass, galangal, and lime leaves, which is nice if you're only planning to make it once or twice
sundried bananas (กล้วยตาก): they don't always carry these. sometimes they're vacuum packed; sometimes they have them in a little plastic clamshell container
If you're cooking for a vegetarian or someone with a shellfish allergy and looking at savory items, note that there are two words that get translated as "vegetarian," which are used somewhat interchangeably but strictly speaking mean different things—'je' (เจ) and 'mangsawirat' (มังสวิรัติ). เจ/je doesn't include onions, garlic and certain other vegetables. If you see something labeled as vegetarian curry paste, you'll want to check whether they just mean no shrimp paste, or no shrimp paste/garlic/shallots!! Items labeled as มังสวิรัติ/mangsawirat will not contain meat, shellfish, fish, or fish sauce, but can contain allium.

so i put canned longan canned toddy palm seed slices and canned jackfruit slices (from aroy-d but also maybe another brand? don’t know if it’s important) in a bowl with 1/3rd of the syrup from the longan and one small ish box of coconut milk i didn’t have grass jelly and couldn’t be bothered with the water chestnut BUT anyway i let this sit in the fridge for a day and YUM it’s so delicious and refreshing. i’m gonna drink cold coconut milk every day for the rest of my life. and longan is delicious!! i am a notorious hater of canned fruits but i’ll make this over and over again until the end of the summer.

#BigLots #FreshFindsSoulFoodSeasoning #SoulFoodSeasoning #SeasoningsReview
This is the Big Lot's made Fresh Finds Soul Food Seasoning and this was put on some Aroy-D Quail Eggs In Water.
The seasoning had a light garlic, black pepper, paprkia, and a light salty taste.
This soul food seasoning was well seasoned and had a light spicy tingle on my tongue but didn't taste hot.
This seasoning had a light salty taste.
I would use this to my quail eggs and homemade cheeseomelet's again if I eat it.
Got at Big Lots before they closed up the store forever.

Kanom Jeen Nam Ya (Thai Fish Curry with Rice Noodles)
Ingredients
For the Curry:
3 cups (710ml) full-fat coconut milk, such as Aroy-D, divided (see note)
7 stalks lemongrass, bottom 4 to 5 inches only, outer leaves discarded, tender core sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds (70g sliced lemongrass)
3 ounces (about 12 pieces; 85g) grachai, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds (see note)
6 small shallots (120g)
5 medium garlic cloves (25g)
One 2-inch piece fresh galangal, peeled and thinly sliced (about 2 tablespoons; 15g) (see note)
1 tablespoon (7g) makrut lime zest from 3 makrut limes (optional, see note)
15 dried Thai chiles (7g), stemmed*
10 dried spur chiles (15g), stemmed and seeded (see note)
2 tablespoons (40g) Thai shrimp paste
2 teaspoons (8g) Diamond Crystal kosher salt
Eight 4-ounce (115g) bone-in mackerel steaks (see note)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (90ml) fish sauce
For Serving:
10 1/2 ounces (300g) dried thin rice noodles (vermicelli)
Assorted raw vegetables, such as green cabbage, cucumbers, mung bean sprouts, long beans, and banana blossom, thinly sliced (mung bean sprouts left whole)
Soft-boiled eggs, for serving (optional)
Fresh sweet basil leaves (a.k.a. Thai basil), for serving (optional)
Tumblr media
Directions
For the Curry: In a 3-quart saucepan, whisk together 2 cups (475ml) coconut milk and 4 cups (1L) water. Add lemongrass, grachai, shallots, garlic, galangal, both kinds of dried chiles, shrimp paste, salt, and mackerel. Stir to combine and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook at a boil, stirring occasionally, until fish is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer fish to a plate and set aside to cool.
2. Return saucepan to medium-high heat, and continue to cook until liquid is reduced to approximately 3 cups (710ml), 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer contents of saucepan to a blender and blend on high speed until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes; wipe out saucepan and return to stovetop. Set aside blended curry.
3. Using clean hands, pick fish meat from bones and transfer to a mortar and pestle or food processor bowl; discard bones and skin. Pound or pulse until fish is the texture of cooked ground meat, about 1 minute.
4. Return fish and blended curry to saucepan along with remaining 1 cup (240ml) coconut milk, fish sauce, and 1/2 cup (120ml) water. Stir to combine and bring to a boil over over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until curry thickens to a saucy consistency, about 20 minutes.
5. For Serving: Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add noodles and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 7 minutes (cooking time varies for vermicelli, so start checking for doneness after 3 minutes). Drain and rinse under cold water. Transfer noodles to a large serving platter or individual plates. Spoon curry over top or pass at the table along with vegetables, eggs, and sweet basil, allowing guests to garnish plates as they please. Serve.

Cupcakes You Can Enjoy While You Have Gestational Diabetes!
by Jen
In 2012 I took the gestational diabetes test and was shocked to find out my glucose levels indicated I had it. My immediate reaction was embarrassment, shame, and I took it very personally. I felt I had a pretty healthy pregnancy and ate well; I went to yoga twice a week and zumba classes. I walked everywhere. I really didn’t understand why I had it, and thought I had done something wrong. My midwife talked to me and assured me that it was all hormonal and that it would pass after the baby was born. The gestational diabetes clinic I went to in Vancouver was friendly and I remember being shocked, jealous and a little judgy about the other patients who showed up with their venti caramel mocha frappuccinos, while I drank 3 litres of water every day. Lucky for me I did not really have any cravings and was happy to just have water as long as it was cold with ice in it.
I managed my GD with exercise and diet. After eating I’d go for a walk or have dance parties with my baby belly in my living room. Exercise during pregnancy is so important but even more so if you are trying to keep your glucose levels normal. Dancing lifts your spirits too, which releases oxytocin so I highly recommend it, even if you don’t have GD... or even if you're not pregnant yet, for that matter!  My numbers stayed low enough, for the doctor to dismiss me from the clinic, but I kept the kit to keep checking my numbers. I was still obsessed with tracking my sugars after meals, and it was really important to me.
For my baby shower I really wanted to have some desserts for my guests, but it had to be low sugar so that I could indulge too. I had already done a lot of trial and error baking with several different types of flours over the past few years, and so I was getting accustomed with how to create my own recipes, in particular with coconut flour. The secret here would be to find a middle ground of yummy, and chocolatey but not too healthy tasting! These are supposed to be celebratory cupcakes, after all, not carrot sticks.
You can bring these cupcakes with you to any functions to share, and this way you won’t feel left out on treating yo’self. It’s also great to have a dessert while knowing exactly what ingredients go into them.
Here’s what you need to create your tasty treat:
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup 100% raw cacao powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp baking soda
6 eggs
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 jar 100% fruit spread
Tumblr media
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Line muffin tin with cupcake papers
Combine first four ingredients in a small bowl
Beat eggs, olive oil and applesauce together
Mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients
Fill the cupcake holders about half full
And put in the oven
Set a timer for 10 minutes.
When the timer goes off, take the cupcakes out and scoop a small teaspoon of the fruit jam into the middle of each cupcake. Put the tray back in the oven and set your timer for another ten minutes
When they are done, you can either eat them as they are or put another dollop of jam on top of them.
Now, while these cupcakes do not have a massive heap of icing on them, and this is exactly how I served them, I later discovered coconut milk icing which is sooooooooo delicious and easy to make. This is a nice option to have for your guests if you like. To be honest, this recipe is so amazing, I make this icing for every dessert I ever make.
Put a can of coconut milk in the freezer overnight.
When you open the can, scoop the thick cream out and discard the water. My fave coconut milk to use is Aroy-D. Add half a tsp of vanilla extract and use beaters to beat it into fluffy icing. You can use confectioners icing sugar to thicken it if you want, (start with a quarter cup. Just be aware of the extra sugar content you are adding to your dessert. You can easily make powdered sugar by pulsing granulated maple sugar or coconut sugar if you prefer in the food processor until it's a fine powder, but just remember it will change the colour of your icing. Add a bit of food colouring if you’d like to make them fancy. (this is where it makes a difference if you use coconut sugar or confectioners sugar.) Only use coconut icing on cooled desserts as it melts easily.
I hope you enjoy this dessert as much as I did. I’ve even made these for my daughter when she’s requested a treat but I don’t want her to have too much sugar. If you have gestational diabetes, first, don’t be hard on yourself!! Remember you have done nothing wrong to get this diagnosis. Now take your baby belly for a power walk or crank this song up and dance your freakin face off!! This is the awesome song I grooved to while pregnant... Enjoy, and don’t forget to drink lots of water every day!

Here is the link for the song I mention, if you choose to keep it

Feeling hungry? Kogaracon's got you covered! We're happy to announce that Aroy-D, The Thai Elephant will be joining us this year at Kogaracon 2019!
Aroy-D, The Thai Elephant is brought to you by Pupay & Jon, an extremely talented husband and wife team. Pupay moved to America and a few years later, taught herself to cook native Thai dishes so that she could savor a taste of home. Her husband Jon became her number one fan after trying a bite of these new creations. As he would bring her mouthwatering homemade lunches with him to the office each day, Pupay’s culinary gifts were then glimpsed by his intrigued co-workers.
After receiving numerous requests, Pupay made food for the whole office and her flavorful offerings were an instant hit. Pupay was suddenly slammed with catering opportunities and it became clear that her amazing dishes simply needed to be shared with everyone.
After over a year of research and preparation, as well as another 6 months for Jon to transform an old tool truck into the perfect food truck, Aroy-D (Thai for “very yummy”) is now Jersey City’s favorite stop for the most delicious and authentic Thai cuisine.
Every item on her menu is incredible, from the Pad Thai to the Sweet ‘n Sour Chicken to the Fried Spring Rolls with sweet plum sauce to the delectable Pumpkin Custard! For all this and much more, be sure check out the ever-acclaimed Aroy-D!
