Bamboo Shoot With Bai Yanang

[WujouMao]

i bought some thai stuff from a shop in Peterborough. the way i see it if its from an asian shop and its got asian characters on the packet, its deffo the real deal. [not bland western 'spice' from sainsburys]. so i picked up a jar which is called ''Bamboo shoot [tip] with bai yanang, cha om, chili & oyster mushroom''

best for cooking thai, vietnamese or lao food, but does anyone know of any cooking recpies i can add it too? would it be better in a spicy soup or eatern cold as a side dish.

my cookery books doesnt even list this for thai food. its normally very basic asian food with a bit of spice

cheers

Oh dear, fish sauce is not the same as ferment fish (juice), (num) pla rah.

I am trying to explain, ferment fish is kinda preserved fish. It's so-called rotten fish and really smelly.

BambinA,

This should clear up the confusion.This is a photo of the stages of pla rah.In the photo you can see as to the break down of the fish over time.This was in the market in Phi mai a few years back.In bamboo salad that you talk about you would use the pla rah that is "rotten" to the point of being a liqud.

looking at that photo, i'll think i'll take your advice and give that a miss or i'll end up gagging. i really have a strong sense of smell. i dont even like the smell of stinky tofu . thanks blue eyes and BambinA
