Thai
A refreshing do-ahead dessert nice enough for guests.

In Thailand, pieces of meat, poultry, fish, and seafood are often grilled or broiled and served with a spicy dipping sauce.

Panaeng, a thick curry that does not include vegetables, originated in Malaysia. It can be made with either chicken or beef.

The Thai adopted the Chinese technique of stir-frying to preserve the color, fresh flavor, and texture of each vegetable. Only the best vegetables are selected. Any assortment of vegetables can be used in this recipe.*

Thai egg rolls are usually served on New Year’s Eve. Although the Thai use delicate rice paper for their egg rolls, lumpia papers, a thin flour-and-water wrapper, are easier to work with. Look for lumpia in Asian groceries or in the gourmet frozen foods section of your supermarket.
