Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup coconut milk

1/2 cup makheua phuang (Thai eggplant)

1 cup tua phak yao (long beans) -- broken into 2-inch pieces

1 cup sliced mushrooms

1 cup phak bung (swamp cabbage) -- shredded

1 cup phakat khao (Chinese or Napa cabbage)

2 tablespoons hom daeng (shallots/purple onions) -- finely sliced

1 tablespoon light soy sauce

1 tablespoon palm sugar

1 tablespoon " red mouse " chilis (prik ki nu daeng)

finely sliced

1 tablespoon prikthai ong (green peppercorns)

1 teaspoon shredded bai makrut (kaffir lime leaves)

or 1-tsp lime zest

 

In a saucepan bring the coconut milk to a gentle simmer and mix in the sugarand

soy sauce, and stir in the lime leaves. Add the shallots and pepper, and gently

simmer for 1-2 minutes until aromatic. Taste for the balance of sugar and salt,

and adjust if necessary.

Add the vegetables, and return to a boil. Simmer gently until just cooked (If

using garden peas, do not add them until the other ingredients are almost

cooked, and then serve as soon as they are warmed through).

Remove the peppercorns, and serve with either rice or noodles

NOTES : Makheua phuang are very small Thai eggplants, that resemble crunchy

garden peas: substitute raw shelled peas and thawed frozen. *For paak bung

(swamp cabbage), substitute spinach. *Thai long beans (tua paak yao and

sometimes called yard beans or yak's tails), can be replaced with ordinary

western long beans. *Prikthai ong (green peppercorns) are sold in Thailand on

the stem, making them easy to discard before serving, but I suggest that if you

canonly get loose peppercorns, that you put them in a small muslin bag or

'spiceball'
