Wing Bean!

1. Heat the water in the pot until it is boiling then add 1 tsp. salt. Prepare very cold water.

2. Drop the wing bean in boiling water and quickly remove them to soak in a bowl of cold water. This will help keep the color green after it is cooked.

3. After that, heat the water again. Then cook minced pork (5 minutes) and shrimp (1-2 minutes). Don’t cook shrimp too long, as it usually gets too hard if you do.

4. In a different pot, boil coconut milk until it starts boiling. Then turn off the fire.

5. Fry half of the sliced red onion you have until it turn yellow or a little brown then remove it. You can fry red onion as much as you want if you like to add more.

6. Now, prepare a big bowl to mix everything together. Add wing beans, shrimps, pork, sliced red peppers, scallion, coriander, sliced red onion.

It doesn’t affect much of the taste, just put as much as you like to make the color red. Pantainorasingh is the brand I like for many different products they have but I don’t get paid for mentioning their products on my site. (>_<)!

8. Add fish sauce (Actually, I don’t remember how much I add. So, start from 5 tbsp. if the taste is not right, then add more later) The thing is.. I add a big squeeze from the fish sauce bottle and say 2 or 5 tbsp. There is no exact amount though.. so, please add only a few if you don’t feel sure on this.

9. Add lemon juice. icon smile Thai Food Recipe: Yum Tua Phuu (Wing Bean Spicy & Sour Salad) and now mix it all up.


After a long~ ~(drag your voice here and make high tone). long time I haven’t cook at home because of my full time job. My husband called it OVERTIME job as I usually work almost 11 hours a day and it is also taking away my days off at the moment.

Last time on my day off, I cooked this food as it is my friend’s favorite recipe. I have never cook this one for my husband yet. It is always the best to show him new food to eat after a long time eating dinner at Sawasdee restaurant that cook food to order. Vern orders Kao Phad, Pad Phak, Pad Si Iw every time. After 1 year we have been eating there, the owner remember us and can guess what Vern wants to eat for just looking into his eyes.

How sad is that. I have no time to cook anymore.

With this food, again takes me 2 hours to prepare.. haha. because I like to cook and clean and read newspaper at the same time. icon smile Thai Food Recipe: Yum Tua Phuu (Wing Bean Spicy & Sour Salad)

It is worth waiting icon smile Thai Food Recipe: Yum Tua Phuu (Wing Bean Spicy & Sour Salad) that day Vern was in tears.. and I am so happy to cook something for my husband too!

som tam spicy papaya salad Thai Food Recipe: Som Tam Bla Rah!


papaya shredded Thai Food Recipe: Som Tam Bla Rah!

5 peppers
3 garlic
1 tomato (sliced)

1 eggplant (sliced)
1 fermented crab
1 handful chopped papaya
1 tbsp. fish sauce
3 tbsp. fermented fish juice (Bla rah)
2 pieces lemon
1 tsp. sugar or palm sugar

[ad]

Som Tam Instructions:

1. Pound chili peppers and garlic together. Add tomato, eggplant, and fermented crab. Then, mix it with fish sauce, bla rah, lemon, and sugar.

2. Use a pestle to crush and mix all the ingredients together. Starting with garlic, chilies and then the rest.

3. Put papaya in and mix it by pestle or spoon. Now your som tam bla rah is ready to be served.

4. Lay fresh vegetable, cucumber, cabbage, string bean or morning glory for example, on the side. Cucumber is good for taking away some of the spiciness of the chilies. So too is eating each bite with some rice. Eating som tam plain without rice is sacreligious in Thailand.

Som Tam Tip
Using a pestle to pound and mix the ingredients with papaya makes the sauce get into the papaya better than stirring. It will also make your Som tam juicy!

Som Tam Spicy Papaya Salad Thai

?????

Som Tam (Spicy Papaya Salad), a Thai Favorite

Som Tam comes from the northeastern “Isaan” region of Thailand which is near the border of Laos. Residents eat this meal daily for lunch or dinner. It is usually accompanied by “Gai Yang” – barbequed chicken or pork and some condiments: cucumber, lettuce, and green beans. Som Tam Thai has peanuts, and dried baby shrimp. Som Tam is very delicious and my favorite Thai food! My husband has also grown to like it – he says it’s addictive.
Som Tam Recipe

Prepare:

2 cups coarsely graded unripe Papaya
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1-4 small red or green chilis
(in Isaan we often use 10 or more!)
2 garlic cloves
1 long squirt of fish sauce
1 lemon/lime (minao in Thai)
1/4 cup yardlong beans (green beans) if you wish
Dash of salt, sugar to preference (1 tsp)

********************

Instructions

1. Combine chili peppers, garlic, tomatoes, salt, sugar, with mortar and pestle. The sound of pounding the ingredients makes a bpok bpok noise. Some people call som tam, “Bpok Bpok”! Some parents in Thailand name their kid Bpok!

2. Squirt in some fish oil and squeeze the lemon juice into the mix. Add the papaya in small groups to make sure it mixes well.

When mixed thoroughly serve in a bowl. Rice is always served with this – the som tam is eaten with rice to take the spice out of it a bit, and just because Thai people eat LOTS of rice! Sticky rice (steamed rice) is the preferred rice in Isaan, but you can use boiled white Jasmine rice.

This video is of a night market close to Teung C. Muang park in Ubon Ratchathani in the northeast of Thailand (Isaan region). This woman is my favorite som tam maker. You can see her squeezing the “minao” (lemon/lime) and adding the papaya to the mortar and pestle. She makes HUNDREDS of these dishes everyday! > Som Tam Woman Video
