Thai Style Glass Noodles baked in Claypot one of my favourite Thai Dish and it’s a must order dish on the menu in a Thai Restaurant.
It’s a umami-rich, peppery and super well-flavoured glass noodle (Cellophane noodle) baked with prawns & pork belly over a pot of aromatic Thai flavored herbs and onions. It’s a very yummy dish that you must definitely cook at home to wow your family and guest. Well, be prepared they will keep asking for it.
This recipe also provide recipe for a versatile Thai Spicy & Tarty Dipping Sauce that goes very well with the pot of noodles, prawns and pork.
Yumz!
This dish uses a few herbs to enhance the Thai Flavour.
A lot of people (I admit, even myself) always got mixed up with Cilantro, Coriander and Chinese Celery. Cilantro is also known as coriander. Chinese celery has longer stalk like celery but thinner.
First, to prepare the dish, grind all the ingredients for the cilantro paste in a blender until smooth.
Add oil will help in grinding the ingredients. Add more oil if needed
Fry the paste, onions and all other herbs until the onion wilted
Remember to coat the claypot with oil before layering the pork belly in the claypot.
Layered the wilted onions and herbs over the pork belly and spread evenly across the pot
Add prawns
Follow by seasoned glass noodles (Cellophane noodles)
and top with some chopped cilantro leaves.
Cover the claypot with lid and cook over medium low heat for 12 mins (or until cook). When done, mix well and garnish with more cilantro leaves
