THAI STIR-FRIED VEGETABLES WITH GARLIC, GINGER, AND LIME

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large cup or small bowl, combine coconut milk, fish sauce, lime juice, chile flakes, and brown sugar, stirring well to dissolve the sugar. Taste test, keeping in mind that the first taste should be spicy-salty, followed by sweetness and the rich taste of the coconut milk. Adjust these flavors to suit your taste, adding more lime juice if too sweet or salty (note that it will be less salty when combined with the vegetables).
• Warm a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat.
• Add 2 tablespoons oil and swirl around, then add the shallots, garlic, galangal, and chile flakes.
• Stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes, then add the carrot, mushrooms, optional cauliflower, and 1/4 of the stir-fry sauce. Continue stir-frying 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the broccoli and red pepper plus enough stir-fry sauce to gently simmer vegetables (about 2 minutes). This is meant to be a "saucy" stir-fry that is never dry so the sauce can flavor the rice or noodles it is served with.
• Finally, add the bok choy or Chinese cabbage. Add more of the stir-fry sauce as needed, almost enough to just cover vegetables in sauce. Simmer until bok choy or cabbage is cooked but still bright green with some crispness (2 to 3 minutes more).
• Remove from heat and taste test. If not salty enough, add a little more fish or soy sauce. If too salty or sweet, add a squeeze of lime juice. Add more sugar or chile if desired. Top with fresh basil and serve over Thai jasmine rice or Thai coconut rice .

• Place rice noodles, shrimp, bean sprouts, Thai basil, coriander, carrots, and spring onions in a large mixing bowl and drizzle the soy sauce mixture over. Toss to mix.
• Then form the rolls.
• Fill a large bowl with hot water (but not boiling, as you'll be dipping your fingers into it). Start by submerging 1 wrapper into the water. It should soften after 30 seconds.
• Remove the wrapper and place on a clean surface. Add another wrapper to the hot water as you fill and roll the first one.
• Place a heaping tablespoon of roll ingredients toward the bottom of the wrapper. Spread out the ingredients horizontally (in the shape of a fresh roll).
• Fold the sides of the wrapper over the ingredients, then bring up the bottom.
• Tuck the bottom around the ingredients and roll to the top of the wrapper.
• To secure the roll: Wet it with a little water on your fingers and press (like sealing an envelope).
• To serve, place your platter or bowl of rolls on the table along with the dipping sauce.
• Eat with your fingers; keep lots of napkins nearby.
• Gather the ingredients.
