You're Gunna Want To Make These FLAVOR PACKED 15 Minute Thai Meals

So a couple of weeks ago, I put out a poll to see what 15 Minute Meals all of you wanted to see. It was clear that you wanted a little Thai inspiration in the kitchen so that's what we're doing today. Now, I've been to Thailand and I certainly love Thai food, but I just felt like this video in particular needed a little bit more of a professional perspective. Luckily, my friend Derek saw the post and he was down for collaboration. Derek has been trained by some of the best chefs in Thailand and has been hosting a Thai supper club in Brooklyn for the past seven years so I'm excited to share his 15 minute meal with all of you guys! Get ready to go on a little foodie adventure over to the flavor packed country of Thailand! Click here to see the full video!
