Wing Bean Shrimp Salad ( Yum Tua Plu )

 

The word “Salad” we translate as“Yum” in Thai but the taste and its looks are not the same as your salad which is variety of vegetables served with different kinds of dressing, while we add many kinds of herbs and it’s spicy.

We call “Yum” for “Spicy Salad”. Most of our yum-type dishes are sour and spicy but you can adjust the taste as your flavor. There are many kinds of yum. Yum usually consists of a type of meat or seafood and basically lemon juice, fish sauce, chilies and other vegetables. If you make a good taste of seasoning then you will have a great yum.

Thai people usually eat yum as an appetizer. Some people use it as a type of food which you eat along while drinking. It’s not common to have yum as a part of main meal but for me, I can eat it with rice

Yum Tua Plu is normally served with rice, a shared dish is placed in the center of the table and guests take a spoonful onto their plate to eat as they like. It is made from Thai winged beans, but long green beans can be used instead. The flavor is of coconut, both from coconut milk in the liquid and from desiccated coconut added to the salsa at the end. This is a dish suitable for ‘gop-gam’, a party dish served with alcoholic drinks.

The cooking class at Suwannee is an ideal home-style learning environment that is different from most of the opportunities in the hotels and restaurants in Thailand. Not will you be only watch and participate in the cooking of a number of traditional Thai dishes; also as part of our course we visit a local market to learn about local exotic fruits and vegetables, there is always an abundance of new things to see……and taste!
