Yam khai dao
Yam Khai Dao is a traditional Thai salad dish, primarily composed of fried eggs (khai dao). The dish is known for its unique combination of flavors, including spicy, sour, and sweet, which is a characteristic trait of many Thai dishes.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
The main ingredient of Yam Khai Dao is the khai dao, or fried egg. The eggs are typically fried until the edges are crispy, while the yolk remains runny. Other ingredients often include chili, lime, fish sauce, and sugar, which together create the dish's distinctive flavor profile. Additional ingredients may include shallots, coriander, and spring onions.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
To prepare Yam Khai Dao, the eggs are first fried in a large amount of hot oil. The high heat causes the egg whites to bubble up and become crispy, while the yolk stays mostly liquid. Once the eggs are cooked, they are removed from the oil and drained.
The dressing for the salad is made by combining lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and chopped chili peppers. This mixture is then poured over the fried eggs. The dish is typically garnished with shallots, coriander, and spring onions before serving.
Variations[edit | edit source]
While the basic recipe for Yam Khai Dao remains the same, there are many variations of the dish. Some versions may include additional ingredients such as tomatoes, cucumbers, or prawns. The level of spiciness can also be adjusted to taste.
