Thai Festival at Home / 家でタイフェスタ

Next month on the weekend of the 10 and 11th is the annual Thai Festival at Yoyogi Park. A festival I haven't missed since it's inception some ten years ago now. Of course we'll be going this year too. But before that, we decided to have our own little Thai festival at home. Mikako bought a couple of packets of Thai seasonings to make some Thai style fried rice and Thai style stir-fried vegetables using kushinsai or Chinese spinach (also known as morning glory).

来月の１０と１１日代々木公園で毎年恒例のタイ祭りが開催されます。もう十年位になる祭りですが、ぼく第一回からずーっと行ってます。もちろん今年も行く予定です。でもその前に、今日うちでプチタイ祭りをやりました。近所のスーパーでタイ風のスパイスを買って、タイ風チャーハンと空心菜炒めを作った。

The fried rice is similar to Indonesia's nasi goreng as a fried egg is placed on top of the dish. We skipped out on using shrimp though which the recipe calls for. Still, it was delicious. The vegetables were awesome, if you like your food hot and spicy. I think we'll be having this again at home.

タイ風のチャーハンはインドネシアのナシゴレンと似た様な感じで、上に目玉焼きを乗せるの。お好みで海老も入れてもオッケイ。美味しかったよ。特にその空心菜炒め。辛かったけどマジ旨い。これはまたうちで作りますね。
