Every now and then, I received in my e-mail several invitations to enroll on teaching degree online or enroll in cooking school and begin a journey to an education that I can savor.
Because I don’t have time to attend culinary trainings, I contented myself on discovering world cuisines from the internet. I’m looking forward to prepare in my own kitchen Yum Pla Dook Foo, Thai crispy catfish and green mango salad. I love it since our friends introduced this Thai dish last Thursday night .
Yum Pla dook foo is a quick salad appetizer, but is meaty enough to be a main course. It plays all the core flavors of Thai food against one another; sweet, sour, salty, nutty and spicy hot. It’s very very Thai.
Here’s an easy recipe I found at ThaiTable.com
Ingredients for 2 Servings:
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3-5 Thai chili pepper, minced
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 shallots, thinly sliced
- 1 lime
- 1/3 cup green mango
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1/2 lb catfish
- 1/4 cup cashew or nuts (Optional)
1/2 lb of catfish is about 1 fillet.
- The traditional way is to place the catfish fillet on a cutting board and, using 2 forks, break up the fish into very small pieces. Heat up the oil in a wok or skillet on medium low heat and deep fry the fish until golden brown.
- ThaiTable.com recommends that instead of the traditional method, you bake it first and then drain the juices and then fry the whole fillet on medium low heat. As you are frying the fillet, break it up with your spatula into very small pieces.
- It takes a few minutes to brown all the pieces to be very crispy. Drain the cooked fish on paper towel.
- Mince the chilli pepper. Mix the minced chili pepper, sugar, fish sauce and lime juice together.
- Slice the shallot thinly.
- Peel and grate mango with a large hole grater. In Thailand, as in the pictures, people sliver the mango by first chopping along the length of the mango many many times so that the blade goes just a little below the surface and then cutting the thin pieces away.
- If your cashews are uncooked, toast them in a pan until golden brown.
- Mix all ingredients together and serve.
