Easy, tasty, impressive. Thai food for lazy people.

I just had to post about this recipie because it’s really easy and makes people think you are a master chef when actually you can’t decide what to make for dinner and you don’t have much time. Everyone I know likes Thai food, here is how to make some.
The key to this dish is the sauce. The meat is irrelevant, it could be any meat, fish or even vegetable (if you like that sort of thing). All the flavour is in the sauce, for which you will need:

Dark soy sauce
Light soy sauce
Ginger
Chilli
Garlic
Thai fish sauce
Juice of one lime

Get a small cup or ramekin and pour in 1/3dark soy 1/3 light soy and 1/3 fish sauce. Add the lime juice, finely slice some ginger into thin strips (a lump about the size of the end of your thumb) and finely chop some garlic. Add all that to the cup. Get the chilli, either de-seed or don’t depending on how much heat you want, chop it up and stick it in the sauce. Stir it all together briefly and leave for a while to infuse.

For the sake of argument, boil some rice, cook a chicken breast and fry (or poach because it’s healthier) an egg. Serve the sliced chicken on the rice and the egg on the chicken. Drizzle the sauce around the rice, on the egg or wherever you like it… Eat… Enjoy.

Like I said before the flavour is in the sauce, you can even use it as a condiment for just about anything and it’s especially good for barbeques.
