LAAP KITS

Laap Kit - For your Vietnamese / Lao fusion Subs, I recommend using ground pork or chicken, a fresh squishy bun, a touch of mayo, slivered carrot, thin sliced red onion, cilantro and any other veggies you want to load up with. Chilies are included in your Kit if you'd like a spicy version.

Laap is actually, traditionally a "meat salad".  Eaten by hand, with raw vegetables and sticky rice, this dish is said to be the unofficial national dish of Laos.
I've served this Kit up in many fusion varieties, everything from the intended format to lettuce wraps and Vietnamese subs.  For $5 a Kit, it's so very worth a try and, you'll have experienced a little bit of authentic Laos.  See details on our Laap page, scroll for suggestions and what to expect in your Kit. Good in your pantry up to 6 months, these are a great little addition to your order when you're craving something a little lighter for our hot summer days.

PANANG KITS

How peanuty is your Panang? If you're a peanut lover you probably already do this but, I usually keep some whole peanuts on hand to add to any of our curries and pad thai BUT what if there was yet another level? A level that gave you a richer sate like curry?⠀

Pull out one of your Panang Kits. You can also use your red kit if you already ate all your panang.⠀
⠀
1. Mini Chopper - Add your paste, 30ml peanuts or a tablespoon of peanut butter. Blend away. If you aren't getting a good blend going, use some of your coconut milk to loosen up your paste to help it along. Cook your Kit as per normal.⠀
⠀
2. Mortar - If you don't have a chopper or really like using your mortar, go ahead with the above steps with either peanut butter or peanuts. Coconut milk wont be necessary for this step.⠀
⠀
3. Old fashioned spoon - If you don't have either of those, you can absolutely toss in a little elbow grease and mix your paste and peanut butter in a small bowl before cooking.⠀
⠀
Note: I prefer natural peanut butter but you can use others, just know that it will make your curry sweeter. If not using natural peanut butter maybe slowly add your palm sugar to taste when cooking instead of all at once. ⠀
Be mindful of how salty your peanuts/peanut butter is as well, you can cut back on some of your fish sauce and add to taste to keep from an overly salty dish.⠀

BE A CREATOR OF SOUP

Try messing with our Kits. If you don't have one of our soup Kits handy, you can make any of your curry kits into a restaurant quality Thai soup. Specifically designed for you, by you.

Try messing with our Kits. If you don't have one of our soup Kits handy, you can make any of your curry kits into a restaurant quality Thai soup. Specifically designed for you, by you. Add a little bit of chicken stock to your curry before adding your meat and veggies. Just enough to make it soupy (go really easy on the green or you'll dilute it). Add all your favorite options for meat and vegetable (I love halibut or shrimp in my Thai soups). Precook and toss a handful of rice noodles in your bowl before pouring your broth over top.⠀
Any chicken stock will work, use your favorite. If you don't have a favorite yet, try some bone broth from Borderland (borderlandfood.com). This will bring your soup a whole new level and provide crazy benefits. Also. LOCAL! #whoop!⠀
