NOTES:

  1. Cauliflower

      Weight is for prepared florets, as stem and leaf weights vary. Our Cauliflower was developed in 15th century Europe but is now grown worldwide. In Asia it is most associated with India but it's not unknown in Southeast Asia and China. China also grows a traditional variety with looser heads.

  2. Yellow Bean Sauce:

      This is a standard sauce available in markets serving a Southeast Asian community. For details see our Yellow Bean Sauce page. It's the ugly brown one you want.

  3. Chili Vinegar Sauce:

      Perhaps the most important of Thai table condiments, and easy to make by our recipe Chili Vinegar Sauce.
  4. U.S. measure: t=teaspoon, T=Tablespoon, c=cup, qt=quart, oz=ounce, #=pound, cl=clove in=inch, ar=as required tt=to taste
