ONE-BITE THAI "FLAVOR BOMB" SALAD WRAPS (MIANG KHAM)



One-Bite Thai

This is one of the most delicious, most exciting appetizers of all time. I've only had my mind blown a few times, but when I tried miang kham, that was one of those times. A savory, yet sweet sauce pulls together the intense, immense flavors that these salad bombs hold, and they're perfect for serving at parties.

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

⅓ cup unsweetened shredded dried coconut
2 tablespoons finely chopped roasted peanuts
2 tablespoons minced shallot
1 tablespoon finely minced fresh ginger
1 small lime, zested and juiced
½ cup packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
⅔ cup water
1 cup cubed cooked chicken
32 leaves fresh spinach
½ cup toasted unsweetened coconut flakes
⅓ cup roasted peanuts
32 leaves Thai basil
8 slices lime, quartered
¼ cup finely chopped Thai chile peppers
⅓ cup diced shallot
⅓ cup diced fresh ginger

Steps:

  • Combine coconut, peanuts, shallot, ginger, lime zest and juice, brown sugar, fish sauce, and water in a small saucepan, swirl to mix, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces by about half and starts to thicken up.
  • Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature before using. Sauce will get thicker once cooled. If sauce is too thick, thin out with a little bit of water. If it's too runny, simply put it back on the heat and reduce it a little more.
  • To make the wraps, place a heaping teaspoon of chicken in a spinach leaf, top with a big pinch of toasted coconut, a few peanuts, a Thai basil leaf, one piece of lime, one piece of Thai chili, one or two pieces of shallots, and one or two cubes of ginger.
  • Top with 1 teaspoon of the sauce and wrap everything into one neat bite. These must be eaten in a single bite to get all the flavors working properly together.
