THAI NOODLES WITH CINNAMON AND PRAWNS
I have been alive a long time and, at least when it comes to eating, have spent that time wisely and well. So, it's not often that I eat something that tastes so different to anything I've come across before. But this is such a dish. A gorgeous and mesmerically talented chef called, so perfectly, Tum, cooked it when I was on holiday in Thailand last year, and I made him cook it again and again, and then finally asked him if I could video his making it, so I could try and recreate it at home. I was apprehensive about doing so, not least because I was frightened of facing up to my inadequate camera work and the lesser ingredients found at home. And yet, even with frozen prawns, the substitution of regular celery for the Chinese celery (which is all leaf, no stalk to speak of, and stronger-tasting) and a less-experienced hand at the wok, the very first mouthful brought back the magical enchantment of its taste in Thailand. You do need to buy leafy celery, and even though the stalks don't get a look-in, you chop the slender stems to which the leaves are attached and add them to the wok along with the other flavorings at the very beginning. Apart from having to make geographically enforced changes, I have stuck to Tum's recipe, including the ready-ground pepper and chicken stock concentrate (actually, he used chicken powder). I just had to share this spectacularly unfamiliar but compelling recipe with you. I hope you will be as bowled over by it as I was.

Steps:
- On a high heat, heat the oil in a large wok. Add the garlic, ginger, star anise, cinnamon and the sliced stems of celery (reserve the leaves), and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
- Stir in both soy sauces and leave to simmer for 30 seconds, then stir in the oyster sauce and ground pepper.
- Add the water, followed by the chicken stock concentrate and the ketjap manis (or the mixture of dark soy sauce with soft brown sugar), stir until everything's well combined and bring to the boil.
- Now add the king prawns, immersing them in the liquid. Simmer until the prawns are cooked through.
- Finally, add the drained noodles and stir well--I find a couple of pasta forks, one in each hand, best for this--so that everything is combined, and most of the dark liquid is absorbed.
- Add the pinches of ground cinnamon and cloves, stir again, and if you're not serving straight from the wok, decant into a serving bowl, and sprinkle with the reserved chopped celery leaves.

THAI RICE NOODLE SALAD WITH CHILI-LIME VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a cup or small bowl, mix together lime juice , fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, chili sauce, minced garlic, and sesame oil until the sugar has dissolved.
- Taste test for a sweet-sour balance, adding more sugar if too sour for your taste. Note that the dressing will taste quite strong and salty now, but will be delicious when combined with the salad.
- Gather the ingredients.
- Lightly boil rice noodles until al dente , about 7 minutes.
- Drain the noodles.
- Add the optional bean sprouts , if using, while noodles are still hot. Gently toss (the residual heat from the noodles will lightly cook the sprouts), then rinse with cold water to keep from sticking. Set aside to drain.
- Place noodles and sprouts in a large salad bowl. Add the tomatoes, carrot, green onions, bell peppers, optional shrimp or tofu , and fresh cilantro. Toss to mix.
- Add half of the dressing plus fresh basil and nuts, tossing well to incorporate. Taste test, adding more or all of the dressing depending on how many noodles you've made. If not salty enough, add more fish sauce or soy sauce. If not spicy enough, add more chili. If too salty, add a little more lime juice. If too sour, add more sugar.
- Place on a serving platter or in a salad bowl and sprinkle with fresh basil, cilantro, and peanuts.

COLD THAI NOODLE SALAD
This is an easy crowd pleaser. I have been making it for years. This is my first attempt to write it down (I may come back and make some edits to the "dressing". I have always just kind of mixed things together. I have found that using some authentic ingredients does make it stand out. Fish Sauce and sriracha hot sauce are availabe in the Asian section of most supermarket today. White pepper is hit or miss. Spice stores and many ethnic grocery stores carry it. The French use it in white sauces so you get the pepper flavor, but you do not the specs. This is not an exacting recipe. If you want is spicier add more hot sauce. If not, use less. More tart add vinegar, etc. Add grilled chicken or cooked shrimp and make it a meal. Prep time is about 30 minutes. It does need to chill 2 hours before serving.
