Description
Try one of our favorite fusion Thai dishes, a Thai-style salad with crispy bacon and a spicy, sweet, savory Thai sauce!
Ingredients
Scale
- 10 slices of bacon of your choice (we like thick-cut)
- juice from 2 limes
- 1–2 tsp. sugar
- 1–2 tbsp Fish Sauce
- 2–3 tbsp. Thai Chile Paste (Prik Pao)
- 2–5 Thai chilies finely chopped
- 2 shallots, sliced into strips
- 5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- handful of coarsely chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Make the bacon whatever way you prefer whether it’s baking it in the oven at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, microwaving it about 1 minute per slice, or cooking it on the stove top.
- Once bacon is cooked (I prefer it crispy for this dish), chop it up into bite-sized pieces as show in pictures in post.
- While bacon is cooking, wisk in a medium bowl the lime juice, sugar, fish sauce, thai chili paste, Thai chilies, shallots and garlic. Add the bacon and sprinkle cilantro on top.
- Eat it with jasmine rice, and we like it with a Thai-Style Omelette too!
- Enjoy!
Notes
Yum is translated from Thai to English as “salad”, but it’s not really what Americans would picture as a salad, but that’s because we don’t have a better word to describe it. Yum in Thai can mean a room temperature protein that is mixed with herbs and shallots with a sauce base of fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, Thai chilies and garlic.
