Spicy thai salad, in which you can use carrots or papaya for the base this time I chose to try it with carrots, and was absolutely just as delicious as with papaya.
Ingredients
- 2 - Carrots, shredded
- 1 - lime
- 1 - clove garlic, smashed
- 2/7 - bird chilies
- 1/2 -sprig of spring onion
- 1 - tomato, diced
- 5 - green beans beans, quartered
- - soy sauce to taste
the best way to make this salad is with a pestle and mortar
put the smashed garlic in the mortar and add the diced tomato and beans
grind only a little bit to release the juices, at this point add about 2 tbl spoons of lime juice.
Add the chilies pre cut them depending on how spicy you like your food, the more you cut/ grind them them, the more heavily spiced your meal will be.
Toss everything from the mortar into a bowl with the shredded carrots and spring onion and mix well.
add soy sauce and lime to taste and serve on lettuce or cabbage.
Gai Yang.
in Thai means:
BBQ Chicken.
My substitute for this was a vegan protein patty from my local asian supermarket fried in peanut oil with garlic and fresh chili seeds.
