Spicy Canned Fish Salad.
Thai version of egg and chips. It's a money saving menu among students and low paid labourers.
One of my husband's colleagues, at Deloitte in Melbourne, was Thai and came to dinner. I had made this salad along with other dishes. He'd asked what it was. I was a little embarrassed, thinking I must have made it so badly that he didn't recognise it. It turned out he had never heard of, let alone tasted it. We must have grown up in a very different Thailand from each other.
In a bowl, put in
-400g tinned Pilchards, with
-1-2tbsp fish sauce,
-juice of 1/2 lime,
-1 sliced shallots,
-1 sliced spring onion,
-10-12 sprigs coriander
-1tbsp mint leaves,
-1/2 a cucumber sliced,
-4-5 cherry tomatoes, quartered,
-10-12 deep fried dried chillies,
-2-3 fresh chillies.
Serve with steaming hot rice. Delicious.
