And the Oscar for the best TV dinner goes to 🥁…
Here’s the annual mieng kum, or miang kham, from our very first — now 28 year old — Thai cookbook.
Savory-sweet shrimp paste based relish is flavored with galangal, fish sauce, roasted shallots, and coconut. It complements the fixings — roasted peanuts, shallots, roasted shaved coconut, dried shrimp, chopped lime, Thai Dragon peppers, and ginger — that go into leaf wraps beautifully. Each bite is a surprise with different levels of hot, and sweet, and salty, and sour, and umami.
An interactive meal that is hard to beat.
