Nice site.
This is where you start....
Sticky rice (sweet rice) - Thai style / ImportFood.com
As for cooking...there really are just a few sauces and seasonings you need to get started.
Get oyster sauce (I couldn't find the brand that I use on this website) and
soy sauce (this one is great). You can use MSG if you'd like, just a pinch, when preparing.
Basic start...crushed and chopped cloves (2-3) of garlic, thinly sliced head of onions, 1-2 sliced tomatos. This will make the basic sauce to which you can add any vegetable. Don't try to combine too maybe kinds of veggie. Just 1-2, maybe 3 kinds of veggie.
Get your pan or wok nice and hot, put a few table spoons of oil into the pan and coat it then put the garlic in. It'll cook quickly and you don't want it to be more cooked than a light tan color, then put the sliced onions in and stir. Keep stirring until the onions are soft. Stir as needed to prevent the onions from burning. Add tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes are almost all sauce. Add oyster sauce (1-2 table spoons), add 2-3 table spoons of the soy sauce. stir, then you can add veggie and any meat. Cook until meet is cooked or until veggies are as soft as you'd like. And my secret.....a table spoon of sugar and a slice of lime.
You can add other herbs (basil-chopped leaves, cilantro, dill, etc). You can also add a tea spoon or more of chili paste (
this is pretty good. I like to use fresh from my garden peppers. You can also slice jalapeno thinly and added at the end to just distribute the hotness without over cooking the pepper.
Serve over regular rice (not the sticky rice).
With sticky rice, you'll need a dipping sauce. You can easily take a table spoon full of the above chili paste and add the soy sauce. A squeeze of lime, and it's ready for dipping.
