I know I tend to go on and on about how much I love salmon sashimi. In fact, it’s even sparked a couple conversations about proposals and marriage. But my other favorite cuisine? Thai food.

Back in Davis, I was spoiled by all my favorite genres of food. We had a plethora of sushi buffets/restaurants (10) and Thai restaurants (8). (I’m fairly certain that at one point while I was there, there were about 14 Thai restaurants and 7 sushi buffets + 5 other restaurants that served sushi.)

I’ve been craving Thai food lately, which may be due in part to the beautiful pictures Jess has been posting on her blog and on her instagram.

It so happens that I acquired a bunch of free vegetables because we had an impromptu lab last week (complete with a free dinner of ravioli + a salad bar! <3 ). Somehow, no one wanted to take the rest of the salad bar home… so don’t mind if I do! (Gotta save money where I can, right? >_>) Waste not!

In honor of my love of Thai food (and the fact that I got some Thai curry paste from the Reading Terminal back when I went to Philly), I decided to adapt this recipe in accordance to what I had in my fridge/kitchen! :D
