We started out the day by shopping for our ingredients. The local supermarket had just about everything that we needed.
Below, Maya explains to me about some local herbs.
Thai Eggplant salad with Shrimp
Ingredients:
Chicken breast (minced)
Shrimp (steamed)
2 eggplants
3 Duck eggs
4 Garlics
3 Shallots
1 spring onion
1 sprig of coriander
2 limes
2 red chilli
Flavoring Sauce:
2 tablespoons of pickled garlic
4 tablespoons of fish sauce
2 teaspoons of sugar
Method
- Saute the chicken with a little water to just cook it. Let it cool after.
- Steam the shrimp and let them cool.
- Brush the eggplant slices with oil and grill.
- Boil the duck eggs for 10 minutes for a nice runny yolk. If you use chicken eggs they take around 6 minutes.
- Toss the chicken with the flavoring sauce, shallots and shrimp.
- Build your dish by putting down the eggplant. Next add the chicken, shrimp and duck eggs. Garnish with fresh chilies, cilantro and fried garlic chips.
Below are some of the raw ingredients that we used for both of our dishes.
I love this simple charcoal grill that we use in Thailand.
Here Maya is cleaning the shrimp. She is always smiling!
After a long day of cooking we can now enjoy the meal!
I made a short video of our experience. It was such a fun day and I encourage everyone to meet up with your Steemit friends in person.
Just want to say a huge thanks to
