Thai fish stew
Thai Fish Stew
Thai dishes have some of what are in my opinion the tastiest, most unique flavors – they are a favorite of ours both when we eat out and when at home. Cooking Thai dishes at home is also a fairly simple as well although sometimes you do need supplement your pantry/fridge with Thai basics such as fish sauce, kaffir leaves etc. However for this recipe you won’t need anything too out of the ordinary. Grab a bottle of Singha Thai beer and enjoy :)
