Thai (?) beef salad

Minced beef
  • fry plain
  • keep "juice"/drippings/whateveryoucallit for omelette or rice
  • muchmuch cheaper to buy this from the wet market

Pix a bit blur - the yellow stuff on top is the omelette

Sauce

  • palm sugar ( which is NOT gula melaka) - buy from Tek Ka Market or the Thai supermarket at Golden Mile or get somebody visiting Thailand to buy it
  • Thai chilli jam/paste - buy from same place as above or from Giant; add a bit of the oil that it comes in
  • fish sauce
  • limes
  • chilli padi

Greens

  • Chinese celery
  • wan swee
  • spring onion
  • mint
  • shallots, sliced as thinly as possible
  • lemon grass
  • chilli padi
  • some Thai basil would be nice (if they're willing to sell a couple of stems, instead of an entire bunch)

Mother knows best...

  • Wan swee doesn't keep well when it's wet/damp. So after rinsing, pat dry gingerly.
  • Actually the same goes for the other greens but they aren't affected as much as wan swee.

Ta da!
