Thai Fries Recipes

Steps:

• Cut washed, unpeeled potatoes into french-fry shaped pieces.
• Mix together peanut oil, lime juice, fish sauce, peanut butter, salt, pepper, garlic, cayenne, coriander powder, cumin, and onion powder in a large ziplock bag or mixing bowl.
• Add cut potatoes and mix around, making sure potatoes are evenly coated.
• Allow to marinate in this mixture for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Line baking sheet with aluminum foil (this makes for easy clean-up later!); pour small amount of vegetable oil on foil and wipe around with paper towel.
• Spread potatoes in single layer on foil, without potatoes touching, if you can.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes, turning potatoes once or twice during cooking.

Steps:

• Toss together the sliced chicken and cornstarch in a large bowl. Whisk together the oyster sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce and sugar in a small bowl.
• Heat the oil in a wok or large nonstick skillet over high heat until the oil begins to smoke. Add the chicken and cook until just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove to a plate.
• Add the onion and red bell pepper and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic and Thai chile pepper and cook for another minute. Stir in the riced cauliflower and cook 1 minute. Stir in the oyster sauce mixture and continue to cook until the cauliflower is cooked throughout, another 1 to 2 minutes.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and finish with a squeeze of lime juice. Garnish with the scallions, toasted peanuts and cilantro leaves.

Steps:

• For the carrot fries: Position the oven racks to the middle and top positions and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the sweet chili sauce, sriracha, oil, tamarind paste, Thai seasoning and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Put the carrots in the bowl and toss to coat. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and roast on the middle rack until crisp-tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Turn the oven to broil and place the baking sheet on the top rack. Broil the carrots until brown spots appear and the ends become crispy, about 3 minutes.
• For the dipping sauce: Stir together the mayonnaise, lime zest and juice, sriracha, Thai seasoing and sweet chili sauce in a small bowl. Transfer to a small ramekin and top with 1 teaspoon of the chives.
• Transfer the glazed carrot fries to a platter and top with the bean sprouts, peanuts, remaining chives and cilantro. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce.
