Where's the PA-DEK?? and MSG to flavor the dish???

[ltkman]

You can add in if you want to.

This is just like papaya salad. Using cabbage and cucumber is good also.

[ltkman]

Yes, you're  right.

[Maangchi]

oh, it looks delicious! All ingredients you are using are my favorite. Thank you!

[ltkman]

I also love Korean foods....KAI

[Wivanunu]

That looks interesting...I've never used dried shrimp before.

@ltkman The coke you using is kind of small for the tum maak tarw and I like the music in the background where can I get it?

[laotakao]

You put garlic and dry shrimp in it? How bout some pa dek. Good job with the videos. Thank you!!!!

"ahan lao saeb lie"! im so hungry for long bean salad! by the way, i never use shirmp paste. instead, i use only "padag". And some blocks of sour tamarind too.

[laotakao]

This is good. I prefer the lighter color beans...interesting...you use the same ingredients as som tum...I would not use garlic in this though...looks so good...i will make some tomorrow and eat with sticky rice and grill fish...thanks

you can also shred carrots the same way as papaya too. or mix together to make a really delicious Lao Papaya salad. Lao food is the best! Sometimes i like to make the papaya salad using a really ripe papaya. It is sweet though you don't need to add sugar. Just add a perfect amount of lime and other ingredients. I just haven't have asian long beans for a while like when i last ate "laab-goong". SO GOOOOOD!!!!!
