Mieng-Kum


Last week we had a delicious and unusual starter at a Thai restaurant in Orlando. Liked it so much, that imaged to get the recipe and a picture.!
Ingredients:
100 gms tofu
2inch piece ginger , peeled and shredded to thin strips
Juice of half a lemon
Handful of peanuts
3 to 4 inch piece of dried coconut shredded into thin steps
12to14 cabbage leaves
 Procedure:
Fry tofu in hot oil till crisp and golden brown. Remove after draining all oil on soft tissue. On a chopping board, shred fried tofu into thin strips. In a bowl mix together diced tofu, diced ginger, coconut and peanuts. Add lemon juice and mix well. Quickly , arrange cabbage leaves on soup spoons or other similar serving device, as in the picture. With a spoon put the mixture from the bowl on each cabbage leaf, as shown in the pic and serve fresh with caramelized dipping sauce or any sweet and slightly tangy sauce. And you have a delicious, very light starter which both vegetarians and non vegetarians would love.
