Another personal favorite of mine is the combination of yam nua (beef salad) and thai fish sauce, truly an amazing dish playing inside your mouth. You can experience a finer and smoother texture and less salty taste of the sauce.
Indulge with your juicier beef now
If you are thinking of using patis (very delicious Philippine fish sauce), the outcome would be totally different. It contains a stronger taste in terms of texture and saltiness. However, yam nua achieves balance of the recipe giving someone a lighter bite and a marvelous lingering. Enjoy!
Buying Thai fish sauce or nam pla in Philippines:
*Thai or Vietnamese stores.
*Chefs' Nook: 220 Pilar St., Addition Hills, Mandaluyong City; (+632) 724-5812
* Any Robinson's Supermarket: wide array of Asian ingredients such as Indian, Thai, Korean, or Japanese, etc.

1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper, fine
1pc medium white onion , thinly sliced

1/2pc cucumber, sliced thinly
4 pcs, cherry tomato, cut crosswise into halves
3 stalks, spring onion, cut into 4cm length
Nam Pla Dressing:2T nam pla (fish sauce)
3T calamnsi juice
1T white sugar
2 stalks cilantro, stem thinly sliced
1-2 clove garlic, minced
2 pcs bird's eye chili (cili padi/siling labuyo), thinly sliced
Procedure:

Acknowledgement and a time for sharing:
I am truly grateful.
Now, it is time to give back.
I'm passing this award to the blogs
which carry rarest characteristics:
Yummy because I am a number one fan of Asian food, what more Thai Cuisine. The nam pla worth wonders when added into cooking, esp salad.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the award but sorry to say I don't do this as firstly it does not interest me and there's too many going on. After sometime, I just gave up. I truly appreciate your kind thoughts and thanks again.
i agree with you, nam pla worth something extraordinary.

ReplyDeleteSalamat sa award. I link lang ba to? Parang backlink?
ReplyDeletehi virgo, it is up to you whether you make similar post or keep it in your award vault. i was very excited that's why i made this post. this award is the 2nd that i received, my very first was on my other blog 4 years ago. :)
DeleteAh ok. I put it in my award section :D
Deletemasarap yan lalo na kung may coke.....
ReplyDeletehahaha. wow. that's funny. maybe it will work. but since the fish sauce is basic/neutral in nature and coke is acidic, perhaps, this contrast may work for someone's taste bud. pero hindi ko susubukan yan. hihihihihi
ReplyDeleteYummy, that sounds and looks very tasty, Spiky! And thanks a lot for passing on the Award to me, I really appreciate it! I will include it in my next post with much pride... Greetings from Paris.
ReplyDeletei was very much into it as I receive an award for the second time. i can't help but to include it in the recent post.
DeleteI love thai food! Mahilig ako sa spicy! Thank you so much Sa blog award! I truly appreciate it. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteit was slightly modified, my tolerance against spiciness is not that high. thanks anney. :)
DeleteWow! The moment I saw the photo of the dish that you made i can't help myself but drool. :-D I love Thai food in fact every other Thursday we dine-out to the near Thai restaurant here also because mostly of their dish are similar to ours. But I’m very seldom to eat beef because of my very high-cholesterol. :-/
ReplyDeleteBy the way I apologize for not replying back right away. nag-iilang man kaya ako since Friday sakod ngana and by the way thank you so much for appreciating me and my simple blog. I'll grab the award po as soon as I can. xoxoxoxo. Support na rin kita dear lam mo na un di ba? :-)
i always try my best to make good pictures and stories behind those images. im glad i made you drool. Yes, very similar nga. pero masmaanghang sa kanila. gusto ko yung beef soup nila. yummy, malinamnam. sarap ulit ulitin.
ReplyDeleteabout the award, it is my 2nd time to recieve an award so i passed without hesitation. thanks... :)
wow, may difference pala yung patis ng Thai sa patis natin, no? Thanks for sharing this recipe, Spiky :)
ReplyDeleteyup, talaga masarap patis natin pampalasa lalo na sa monggo, nilaga, etc... :)
Deletei heard may nagtitinda rin ata dyan sa US ng Rufina patis...pati Silver Swan, Datu Puti, and Marca Pina products....at iba pang pinoy products...mahal kaya dyan? hehehe
DeleteFantástic blog, very intersting!
ReplyDeleteI follow your...
Thanks
hi there Rui...how are you doing there? glad you reach my blog. happy blogging. :)
Delete.... from Portugal!
ReplyDeleteYou really know how to spike up our palates! Hahaha! I am an adventurer when it comes to dining and with spices. However is it the same as our salted fish sauce?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if the family would love this, specially If i'll be the one to prepare for this. I'd rather eat at a Thai or Vietnamese resto for this I guess, could you recommend a good one? Thanks!
thai fish sauce is very different from ours...it is milder than patis. about the resto, have you tried Pho Hoa, a vietnamese resto at level 2 of gateway? sarap ng noddles dun. tsaka katabi ata nilang stall is thai.
Deleteand i just read that in pho hoa, pwede rin bumili ng nam pla or vietnamese fish sauce. pwede mo rin subikan ang lasa.
thanks for a visit. :)
ReplyDeleteLa mezcla de diferentes salsas hacen unas texturas increiblemente variables cambiando los sabores.
Gracias por dejar las huellas en uno de is jardines.
Un abrazo que envio para Filipinas.
