C/w Nana: Lao Steamed Vegetable Salad (ຊຸບຜັກ == Soop Phak)

In this video I show how I make steamed vegetable salad. INGREDIENTS: -- Vegetables (You can use any veggies that don't have strong taste) Bok Choy Mustard Greens String Mushrooms Oyster Mushrooms -- Roasted Herbs Shallots Ginger Chili Peppers -- Broth 3 cups Water 1/4 cup Padek (fermented fish sauce) 1 tbsp MSG (optional) 1 tsp Salt (if needed) 2 stalks Lemongrass 3-4 Kaffir Lime Leaves -- Topping Cilantro, chopped Sesame Seeds, pan roasted INSTRUCTIONS Steam the vegetables Make the broth While the vegetables are steaming, boil the water for the broth. Add lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves to the boiling water. You can also add ghalangal. When the water comes back to boil, add padek and MSG. Stir and taste the broth. Add salt if needed. Remove the broth from the heat and allow to cool. Smash the roasted herbs together with a mortar and pestle. Pour some of the broth into the mortar and mix. When the vegetables are steamed to the softness you want, remove from the steamer and allow to cool. Pour the broth from the mortar into the steamed vegetable and mix evenly. Taste and adjust with salt or other seasoning as needed. Mix in the chopped cilantro and roasted sesame seeds.
