Here I have thinly sliced london broil steak marinated in a little teriyaki sauce. Cook it up, set aside then add broccoli and sauces. Thicken with 1 TB of corn starch and 3TB water, cook sauce to a boil then add green onions and a dash of sesame oil. Enjoy!

Co-producer and host later took the class and reported, "Experiencing the class is far different than reading about it or dropping by for a sneak peak. In addition to being fun, for me the course was empowering, as I absolutely love Thai food and had no idea it is rather simple to prepare.

Oh Tao is a pure Phuket local food since you can't find it elsewhere, only in Phuket. It's similar to crispy oyster pancake, but softer. It's local food; some take it as a light meal. Most Oh Tao recipes are inherited from their family's special recipes. The dish is similar to Hoy Tord or crispy fried mussels in Thailand's central region. For some it might be similar to a Chinese dish 'Or Suan'. Oh Tao's main ingredients are rice flour, local oysters, taro, eggs, and pork crackling. All the ingredients are fried together. It comprises rice flour, taro, local oyster, garlic, crushed pepper, pork crackling and egg. Just fry together. It is best served with fresh bean sprouts. It's a combination of tastes like sour and salty. It depends on individual taste. Some like it hot, some like it spicy hot! Oh-Tao needs to be served with bean sprouts. Then it won't be bland. Oh Tao is mostly served from mobile vendors with a cart on wheels. They are mostly available from early evening before dusk until late at night. The best known places for Oh Tao in Phuket town are: a shop on Poonpol Road behind Kusoldham Foundation. Please come to my shop. It's authentic. Or a mobile vendor in front of Tessaban Ban Bang Niao School on the way to Saphan Hin. A first time taster agrees that it's delicious. Please try Oh-Tao at Bang Niao. It's very delicious!

Apart from being a famous tourist destination, Phuket is also good for cuisine, especially in local flavours with its unique style and tastes. Some of the dishes can only be found in Phuket and nowhere else, like Oh Tao or Phuket style Oysters fried with flour, eggs and vegetables. When you visit Phuket, try the dish out and you can experience the tasty Phuket style of local gourmets.
