Yum Nua Style with Toasted Rice
Thai Beef Salad, known in Thailand as Yum Nua, is a vibrant, fresh and fiery salad built around perfectly seared rare beef, fragrant herbs and a punchy lime and fish sauce dressing. This Thai Beef Salad recipe follows a traditional balance of sweet, sour, salty and spicy flavours, finished with toasted rice powder for added crunch and aroma. The toasted rice powder is what elevates this dish. Lightly browned jasmine rice is crushed into a coarse powder and sprinkled over the salad, adding texture and a subtle nutty sweetness. Combined with Thai basil, mint and coriander, the result is bright, refreshing and deeply aromatic.
Pan-Fried Tod Mun with Green Bean Crunch
Spicy Thai Style Fish Cakes, known as Tod Mun in Thailand, are a popular street food snack made from blended seafood, fragrant herbs and kaffir lime leaf. These Spicy Thai Style Fish Cakes combine white fish, prawns and squid for a naturally sweet, bouncy texture, finished with finely sliced green beans for signature crunch.
The secret to authentic Thai fish cakes is drying the seafood thoroughly before blending. Removing excess moisture creates a firm paste that fries to a crisp golden exterior while staying soft and springy inside. Pan frying gives you a lighter finish while still delivering that satisfying caramelised crust.
Rou Jia Mo is a famous street food from Shaanxi, often called the “Chinese hamburger.” It features tender, slow-braised pork belly packed into a crisp yet chewy flatbread. The pork is infused with aromatic spices and rich soy-based braising liquid, then chopped and stuffed into the bread with fresh herbs, creating a deeply savoury and satisfying sandwich.
