Thai Cooking with Organic Lemon Tree Leaves
Elements of Greek mythology have appeared throughout the years in
culture and pop culture. These elements have been used in Renaissance
art and English poems, as well as film and literature, songs and
commercials, and even online gaming and gambling.
In 2002,
Ensemble Studios released Age of Mythology, a mythology-based real-time
strategy computer game, which was a commercial success. Even Gaming
Realms, operator of Greek-based game Bingogodz, created characters
based on Greek mythology such Zantos, Afro-Dity, Aunty Iris, Earos,
among others. The culture of Ancient Rome has also adopted Greek myths
and also created their own gods and goddesses like Jupiter, the Roman
equivalent for Zeus, Venus for Aphrodite, Mars for Ares, Minerva for
Athena, etc.
There are also similarities between Greek mythology
and Thai folklore. The Greek story of Psyche and Eros, depicts the
love between a mortal woman and a God, in which Psyche has to perform
difficult tasks to get Eros’ mother Aphrodite’s approval. The story of Phra Suthon and Manorah, portrays the love between a Prince and a
beautiful half-woman, half-bird, they were later separated so Pra Suthon
has to accomplish impossible tasks to get Manorah back.
Here is
a Thai recipe that is also similar to a Greek recipe that uses lemon or
lime tree leaves with shrimps or prawns. The only difference is the
Greek recipe uses whole grain rice while the Thai recipe has a healthier
twist as it uses brown rice flour noodles.
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons of healthy oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
4 shallots, thinly-sliced
10 medium sized shrimp/prawns
2 lightly beaten eggs
organic lemon or lime tree leaves
4 tablespoons lime juice
1 package of Annie Chun's Pad Thai brown rice noodles
2 tablespoons of cilantro, chopped
3 tablespoons of green onions or chives
Marinate
your shrimp overnight wrapped in lime or lemon tree leaves and then
cook the shrimp. You could warm the shrimp in the pan with the citrus
tree leaves and then discard the leaves.
Cook the brown rice
noodles according to package instructions. After cooking the noodles,
rinse with cold water to maintain its consistency. Add 4 tablespoons of
lime juice to the cooked brown rice noodles and shrimps.
Now
heat the shrimp in a pot or pan with the oil and then add the eggs,
garlic and shallots. Scramble the eggs with the shrimp, then add
cilantro and green onions. Add the cooked brown noodles to the pan. Heat
everything up and serve warm. Garnish with slices of lime when you
serve.
