Hello again and welcome back. Fresh kaffir lime limes are finally in stock, new harvest just off the tree a few days ago. The peel is loaded with a fragrant citrus oil, and the flavor of the fruit is overwhelming if eaten. A key ingredient in Thai curry paste.
Our feature Thai recipe for pork leg soup is a family favorite we always make when our kids visit. A bit time consuming but well worth it.
We also have plenty of items in our Japanese pantry this week.
Thanks for visiting!

Authentic Thai Recipe: Pork Leg on Rice
This slow-cooked recipe is always served with hard-boiled egg and pickled mustard green. It's a family favorite we make when the kids come home to visit. Many street vendors in Thailand specialize in this and sell out each day no problem.
Try to get a front leg, as the back legs contain more fat and less meat.
Back in Stock: Large Thai Cleaver
Here is a huge cleaver, with a really long blade. Total length is 13 3/4". Blade is 8 1/2" long, and 3 1/4" tall with a wood handle and three brass rivets.
This Thai Cleaver is very sharp. Made in Thailand. The blade is thick stainless steel and the handle is longlasting hardwood firmly attached with brass rivets.

Japanese Pantry: Katsuobushi
To make dashi stock simply put 4 cups water in a pan and heat on medium heat. Just before the water boils, add 1/2 cup katsuobushi flakes. When the water boils, stop the heat and strain the broth.
