Salmon Baked with Thai Spices

In the post below I mentioned that packet of Thai herbs for tom yum soup. Well, I just chopped the rest of lemongrass, fragrant green leaves and green chillis into fine pieces, together with freshly chopped garlic, some more red chillis, some pepper, some readily made tom yum paste and a small amount of olive oil, mixed everything into an even paste.

Marinate the salmon in the paste for 1 or 2 hours before baking it for about 18 minutes, and it is done! Can you believe it, we actually don't have an oven but the oven toaster worked just equally well.

The three dishes made up a nice, homemade, Thai-styled dinner.

Tom Yum Seafood Soup

The picture has said it all.

对这道汤比较关键的食材，是我们在超市找到的一包专给Tom Yum Soup用的香料和药草，包括lemongrass、一些青色香味浓郁的叶子、小小的青辣椒和一个大青柠等等，其他我不认识。本来以为滋味够浓郁了，后来发现，还是要额外加一些现成的Tom Yum Paste。汤煮好后，无妨加一些新鲜切碎的香菜或芹菜叶。

Almond Jelly

An easy-to-make dessert that both Elephant and I love. The last time we had it, we had it after a Thai-styled dinner.

The powder can be found in all supermarkets. Just empty it into a large saucepan, add water as indicated on the package and bring to a boil. Then pour the white, fragrant liquid into a container to chill in the fridge.
