Truffle Omelette






An extremely decadent luxury....

 Ingredients

 3 eggs
2 tablespoons pouring cream
20 grams butter
20 grams fresh truffle, thinly sliced

 Method

 Using a fork, lightly whisk eggs and cream in a bowl and season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground white pepper.

 Melt butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat until foaming, add egg mixture and cook for 3-5 minutes until base and edges are just set.


 Add truffle slices in the last 30 seconds of cooking and remove frying pan from heat. Stand for 1 minute, then fold omelette into thirds, transfer to a plate and serve immediately.

Tip: Store the truffle in a paper pag with the eggs the day before cooking – the truffle scent with permeate the eggs before you cook them

Coq au Vin

Chiang Mai Noodles (Khao Soi Kai)

The version we had in Chiang Rai is a little different, not a thick as the Chiang Mai version but still very tasty. Khao Soi is a curry noodle dish from the northern part of Thailand. It is often made with chicken, served over Chinese Bah-mi egg noodle, and garnished with fried noodles, shallots, corriander, pickled mustard greens, fried whole chillis and a squeeze of lime juice. Serves: 4 Ingredients: For the chicken curry: 3 chicken fillets or boneless thighs  , sliced 1 heaped tablespoon Red Curry Paste 2 tablespoons oil 1 400g can Coconut Milk 1 tsp. Curry Powder ½ tsp.
