This recipe, like many of your recipes, is a regular in our household. My three boys, 14,12, and 10, all love it and frequently request it. To satisfied three growing boys I make sticky rice to have with the salad and eggs. A perfect, easy, and delicious meal.

In reply to Wade. Culantro with any yum/salad for me. Culantro is the spiky/saw leaf herb. along with basil and green onions/cilantro. ...if too salty and spicy, can use cucumber to balance things out a little bit.

Hi
I have seen it served with mango also. How would you incorporate the mango in the salad?
Thank you

I’m so glad I tried this! It’s so perfectly balanced - every ingredient plays its role. So unlike the usual American salad I’m used to, where you just throw together whatever greens you have and pour on dressing from a bottle. My egg-frying technique will need practice.

I have to settle for light brown rather than palm sugar, serranos instead of Thai green chilies, arugula and parsley subbing for cilantro. Even though not the same taste, it’ll still be so so yummy. I just love eggs, they are so versatile!

This is a delicious and terribly easy yum! I made it for lunch and will make it again very soon. (Tomorrow?)

Pai, are other herbs subbed in (or added to) the cilantro? I can see this being just as good with mint and Thai basil too.

I made the yum yesterday and fell in love with the dressing. The recipe is well explained and hence easy to follow. Outcome: fresh and nourishing. Thai soul food. Thank you Pailin ❤️
