เมี่ยงคำ ( Leaf-Wrapped Bite-Size Appetizer )
Today we are going to make a healthy appetizer. It's the first time I am making this kind of dish, so it's gonna be exciting.
- Palm sugar
- Shallot
- Lime
- Ginger
- Fish sauce
- Coconut flake
- Dried shrimp
- Shrimp paste (กะปิ)
- Betel leaves
- Peanuts
- Coconut flakes
- Chillies
If you can't find Betel leaves, you can substitute with lettuce leaves.
Next we dump Palm sugar (1 cup) into a pool of fish sauce (1/4 cup) on a medium heat.Stir slowly until all the sugar melt.
Next, smash ginger/ dried shrimp/ lemon grass/ shallot together and put into the pot. You can also put shrimp paste into the mix as well. Dont' put too much though or it'll stink.
and it'll look like this..
Now we need to use coconut flakes. Just toss into the pan with LOW heat. keep stirring until brown or a bit dark..
Then slice lime with the whole skin, ginger into cubes, shallot into cubes and arrange on the dish beautifully!
We are done. It's time to eat. Just wrap everything together with betel leave and top with the sauce. OMGYUM!
