I was over at my co-teacher’s house last week after buying furniture for my garage and we made some dinner together. Yom is a kind of Thai salad, as yom literally means mix. The featured ingredient for most Thai salads is not usually raw vegetables, but frequently meat or noodles. The yom that we made featured some wonderful glass noodles and really complex flavors. I thought I would share the recipe with you to make at home.
Vegetarian Thai Yom
- 2 eggs or tofu
- 2 small tomatoes
- 1/2 onion
- chilli pepper to taste
- garlic water
- splash of lemon juice
- handful of chopped parsley
- a serving of glass noodles
Fry the eggs and chop them up into bite sized pieces. Chop up the tomatoes, onion and chilli pepper and mix with the egg in a pot. Add the garlic water and lemon juice to taste and mix well. Warm slightly on the stove. Add in the parsley and glass noodles and mix well. Arroi, mai? Arroi! (Delicious? Delicious!)
Alternatives: Boil and add more water to make dtom yam. Replace the egg/tofu with pork for a meatier dish.
