This was a dish we had on a recent trip to Thailand. I’ve invented my own recipe based on the flavors I remembered and my knowledge of Thai cooking. It’s a great side dish with a Thai meal. You can increase or reduce the fish sauce to taste or add some fresh chiles to this if you want a little heat. Serve, and listen for the ooo’s and aaaa’s.
